I’m not really sure. I’ve been using Pocket since it was Read It Later and it hasn’t become very much more useful to me since then. It probably could have advanced in many more ways given the right people and resources. They have access to these, but the great innovations have been in bundling the product and administering its accounts.

I’m glad they haven’t changed the Pocket experience too much. I still use and pay for Pocket but I’ll probably jump ship to pinboard or build a personal solution if they do something that diminishes the value I find in it today. The most likely ways this could happen is by reducing functionality (e.g., discontinuing clients/APIs), adding unwanted things (more advertising and social media), and doing things that seem unexplainably arbitrary (see: colorways). Pocket works everywhere I need it to, it has acceptable design and performance, and it has demonstrated some maturity and resilience as a product that’s around 15 years old.

Other solutions I’ve tried include clips in Evernote, OneNote, Zim; the app Keep Everything; the services RainDrop and Larder; and e-mailing myself. All of these except the last turned out to be more of a hassle to put up with than using Pocket.

If Pocket gets worse, I’ll probably make my own solution with e-mail. I practically never look at or for anything I save in Pocket, so it would seem my main attraction is the ease of sending things into a vault from anywhere I’m likely to use the internet and the confidence that I can find these another day. I’ll probably be able to access all my old e-mails in 10 years, there’s pretty good search, and it’s ubiquitous (although it is easier to use HTTP than SMTP in some scenarios).
I’ve noticed that smarter people are more likely to reject “traditional” things - religion, family, having roots in a home base, community things, etc. They also tend to be “terminally online” i.e. having a very rich and sustaining existence in digital spheres rather than the real world.

It is entirely possible to have a fulfilling and happy life rejecting traditional human things and embracing virtual things. It’s just significantly harder.

Wait until you learn Windows has a default file handler for JavaScript (wscript.exe), which can execute external applications, write files and much more.
I prefer easy mode: Everyone gets they/them by default, no pressure to keep track anymore.
Thanks for saying so. I felt sooo shitty once when I accidentally deadnamed a colleague when running a mass email script at an old job. I even had it in mind as I wrote the script and still messed it up. I apologized immediately and tried to do better from there on.
Spam is one thing, but the amount of email I receive that's intended for other people is very worrying. I think it has to do with gmail ignoring periods in the username. It's definitely not spam or phishing either, it's really genuine emails that have either been sent to the wrong account or multiple accounts.

I've received a draft divorce settlement of an apparently high-profile NY couple, police reports, US Sea Cadet itineraries, bills among other things. I worry about emails intended for me being sent/copied to other people.

It's a definite GDPR violation at least.
What? On one to one conversations there's only two members, "me" and "you"

My point is that you don't have to code in "Josh" - or of you do, it can just be "name=Josh". But save effort in the actual logic of what you're doing.

I don't get what the problem is? I'm saying just using "You" is a lot simpler than "he/she"
And those currently stealing are not in jail.
As I wrote on another comment, I wasn't aware that there are multiple forms of open access. Since it appears that arxiv (again, at least high energy physics) employs mostly either gratis or libre open access, and since the Wikipedia article explicitly calls it an open access archive, I see no harm in calling it that either.

"arXiv (pronounced "archive"—the X represents the Greek letter chi [χ])[1] is an open-access repository of electronic preprints and postprints[...] "
No one has gotten a digital nomad visa for the EU because there's no such visa. The closest thing is the EU Blue Card, but that's a work permit for highly-skilled professionals; most digital nomads (freelancers) would not qualify.

The EU and the Schengen visa region are not the same. Turkey is an EU member but not part of the Schengen visa area. The UK, Ireland, Romania, and several other countries in Europe are not Schengen area countries either.

Spain recently announced a so-called digital nomad visa, good for a year if you are making money from outside Spain. I don't think it's approved yet. Some other countries in Europe have such visas available already. Germany has a couple of visas for freelancers that allow renewal for up to three years, to give one example. I know people who have been granted those visas, the process is somewhat tedious.

Almost always you have to apply for a long-stay visa before you arrive in your destination country. You can't enter Germany (for example) on a tourist visa (what Americans will get on arrival) and then apply for a Freiberufler visa while in Germany. You have to plan ahead. Most digital nomads bounce around on tourist visas (look up "border run") until they find a place they want to stay for a while, then go through the process of getting the long-stay visa.

If you intend to travel abroad for a while plan for things like taxes, banking, US address and phone number, health/medical insurance. Americans have to pay US income tax no matter where they live or where their income comes from, an almost-unique tax disadvantage for US citizens. On the other hand US citizens who live outside of the US for 11 months out of a year qualify for the FEIE, a big tax savings. All of this is documented and pored over constantly on nomadlist.com and the Reddit digital nomad sub. Lots of people do this, it's not particularly hard, but it is easy to make mistakes that create a lot of headaches.
Yes, most of my work conversations happen on discord servers. Discord provides a better chat service than slack, so I don't see how it would be unusual for people to use Discord over slack.
To clarify the point the parent is making; if BTC goes belly-up, how will you get those “computation/energy assets” returned to the coinholders?

Parent is just pointing out a fundamental difference on how the underlying assets actually relate to the security.
seriously, does anyone know even one person who's happy
To my knowledge, having a couple years working photovoltaic research, degradation is only a significant issue in the perovskite solar cells (basically organic molecules that react with or at least see property changes with adsorption of water). Others get maybe a bit of degradation (a couple percent maybe) in the near term, but what they are is what they are. Solid state devices are pretty stable, which is also why CPUs can work for long periods of time (same basic building block, the PN junction, and yet much more complicated).

The problem with solar cell efficiency as being the top-line metric is that is that it outright ignores a very complex system. Never mind you got to string them together for panels. Nevermind you just spent $10k making that one cell and your yield is pretty garbage. Never mind that an incrementally more efficient cell doesn't move the needle much when a large fraction of the cost is delivery and installation. Nevermind intermittency is a huge problem for the technology in general.

Another important thing to look into for the photovoltaic problem is the Shockley–Queisser limit [1], which shows that we don't even have a lot of room to run in terms of basic efficiency improvements (~50% for Si). That's a fundamental physical limit for single junction cells.

In terms of scientific advancements, I would get much more excited to see improvements in energy storage technology. Photovoltaic deployment is probably also going to see more advancement based on improvements in manufacturing, logistics, and building construction. At this point achieving cell efficiency records is more just for the sci-peen.

I always enjoy reading about this kind of stuff even though a lot of is only applicable in the US. On UK landlines you can dial 17070 to access BT line test functions.
When you dial a very well spoken voice reads your phone number back to you. It's rarely been useful to me but I did once astonish someone by using it, they were convinced it was meant to be a secret number and that I was probably breaking the law!
My favourite is battling with people who use 23:59:59.

Where I work (banks and other financial institutions) there is frequently a need to check whether something happened within a particular day. Or maybe select records from the database for a day, or do some other kind of logic or filtering.

For some unknown reason, most people decide that best way to do this is to take start date as the beginning of the period and then add to it 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds and use that as the end of the period.

Explanations that they are missing a whole second do not seem to be working. People are absolutely convinced they are doing this correctly.

I thought about this for a long time and I arrived at an explanation.

It seems that some people use the time as a label for a span of time of unit length. March 21st is a label for an entire day. 12 pm is a label for an entire hour that starts at 12pm and lasts an hour, etc. 2021 is a whole year.

And in some contexts it makes sense. Way say something happened on 12th of January -- we use Jan, 12th as a label for an entire day that we would otherwise have to denote with two timestamps. But in some contexts what we need is an exact point in time, a timestamp. And here is where a lot of people just don't think / can't recognise a difference between timestamps and labels for a span of time.

If you use a wrong model then yes, the day starts with a second labeled 00:00:00 and ends with a second labeled 23:59:59.

Except that's not how most of the underlying software works. Most software in this case expects two exact timestamps to denote the end of the span of time. And 23:59:59 is just 1 second shy of the actual end of day which means that, even if we are missing an entire second of the day, most of the time everything seems to work fine.

Unless you are large bank and you have millions of transactions all over the clock that have to accumulated exactly. Then yes, it makes a lot of difference.

Another explanation is that people don't seem to be comfortable with the concept of selecting items from between 00:00:00 of one day and 00:00:00 of the next because they are seeing another date.
:shrugs: I’m honestly not sure. Between the bail system and privately owned jails, the entire system seems designed to exploit the most vulnerable members of society.

I have been using fastmail, my main email address is hi@<domain>, but I have set up a routing rule for *@<domain>, anything that is going to produce obvious spam, for example if I wanted to get a discount code through email, I would use spam@<domain> and have a rule set up for all of these emails to go to deleted, I can still check them for 10 days.

other things I have rules set up for too, to go to inboxes.

fastmail also lets you reply as the email that was sent to, so if someone emails me at test@<domain> they will get a response from test@<domain>

Hey, I am smart and I am happy

But in honestly I believe this to be a case where intelligence which is not pruned and cared for correctly like a bonsai tree will lead you to dark paths

To educate oneself in how the world works, why violence is used, what's the global context of things and understanding that this is a matter of systems pinging against each other will go a long way

It is sort of better angels of out nature but without the deluded liberalism than pinkers book had

As recommendations read Bismark biographies and life, Kissinger, theucydides (my favorite passage is the Melos debate) , Mark fisher, nick land, Marcus Aurelius, confusius, vedas, Adam curtis

I feel that the most important thing that one can do, is to take good care of one's mental ecology, and that first comes with taking care of the mental-soil where your ideas will sprout from, learn from the errors of others, we have lots of past wise people whom have made a lot of errors in the past (or things that they thought of errors but weren't so!!), learn from that

The world is rough, don't take it personal because it is not, you are just a tiny spec whom might have happened to land in a specific time and place, be grateful of having been born where you have and not as a poor peasant during the 30 years war or wherever

Anyhow have a nice evening guys
The hedonistic treadmill is real. Happiness has to come from within.
How "far" behind it Freepascal you think?

I tried to get into it a few years back and in terms of language features it felt like things had stagnated for a decade or more.
Intelligence is multidimensional. You can be a great mental calculator and at the same time have a very hard time memorizing random data, or learning new languages.

The capacity to be happy, or to become happy, involves several of those dimensions. Which dimensions exactly, depend on your circumstances.

One I think is important for everyone is not about being “aware of the state of the world”, like the OP says. On the contrary, it’s self-awareness: knowing what’s going on inside your own head.
I can compare myself to my ex-girlfriend. We both face problems in life, but she is more consistently happy than I am.
I think the main reason is that I was always more ambitions, and more eager to take risks, and this lead to quite drastic changes in my life. Which were good for my career, but which destroyed my social life in the process. Also I abandoned all other interests I had such as hobbies or sports, to single mindedly pursue my goals.
My ex on the other hand has consistently worked on building an ever expanding social circle. She is not so ambition and spends considerably more time tending to her social circle. And when she is alone she has her hobbies that she has been cultivating over many years.
At the end of the day, I go to sleep thinking about the day when everything will turn out great and I will be happy. And she goes to sleep with fresh memories of her amazing day out with her friends. Of course she's happier.

It's not some big mystery. It's just that nerds like me tend to neglect to tend to the simple but important aspects of life. Now at 30, I'm starting the hard process of trying to build some semblance of a normal life, after all but abandoning my ambitions.
No/No/No definitively. Dates without times are ranges. If one person is born on 2022-06-01 12:00:00 and another person was born on 2022-06-01 13:00:00 then they have the same birthday 2022-06-01. It follows, that if you know that 2 people are born on the same day such as 2022-06-01, then it is unknown if they were born on the same time. So adding a default time to a day (such as 00:00:00) is nonsensical.
This is what actually separates humans from animals: Humans are capable of being dissatisfied with _any_ situation, no matter how favorable.
As you did with the previous one, such a good explanation. concrete, and totally accurate.
I also want to thanks that you didnt take anything for granted. It'such a relief!
Keep going! you're doing great!
They have massive revenue, but low margins. Also large chunk of their stock are perishable, meaning that inventory control and so on is critical. It really doesn't compare to many other industries. And not to forgot how harsh the competition is too.

Really many factors bring even some losses to be unacceptable.
It depends on whether or not the local time is meaningful or not.

Say you are recording logins from a user. A suspicious login may be outside of work hours in local time. Without knowing the local time, you cannot apply this rule.
The problem I'm having, dear reader, is that I don't understand why I seem to be the only happy person on the Internet.
My twitter feed collectively has depression. Hacker News is a crowd that seems to feel okay on the best of days, when it doesn't realize it has burnout.

I feel a little better than neutral when I'm at baseline. On most days, I don't need a reason to smile. I just like to smile because things are good.
I didn't sprinkle this post with happy smileys to illustrate my point (for your sake!) but I would have if I were writing to myself.

I wish I could help other people. The point of this is not "look at me my life is great". I just don't know what to do.
> Like everything else, there is some truth to this. Generally, the more intelligent you are, the more you can see behind the façade of everyday life being easy or safe. You see all the risks and downsides—the calamities that await us.

Maybe it's just me, but when I read something like this I just think of a teenager trying to be edgy. Less intelligent people (assuming they're still at a functional IQ) can just as much get a depressed view on society or live. They're actually at a disadvantage, since they're most likely in a less paying position and have less options to change something.

Now, I can also see the counter-point that being smart puts a bit of pressure on you to actually archive something and it's easy to feel like you wasted yourself. But having a massively bad view on society summarized by a few sentences does not mean you're smart, and neither does excessive cynicism - at least to me it just seems like someone is desperately trying to look smart.
I spent years "curb shopping" trash set out for pickup in a dense university town, 4 nights a week, a few hours at a time. I found around 100 PCs, and numerous more interesting items.

Dumpsters and food seemed too risky. I figured that one cut, animal bite, poisoning, or misunderstanding could wipe out all the profits of an entire dumpster diving career.

Even sticking to the curb, in the city, you have to be wary of wildlife (rats, skunks, possums, raccoons), muggers, and aggro drunks, as well as of contaminating your home (bed bugs, roaches, spiders). And, at the end of the repair&flipping pipeline, if you're selling a lot of used items, you'll probably realize there's some percentage of sketchy buyers.

I'm oddly proud of accomplishments in the trash sector during some lean times, but I can't recommend it to anyone who doesn't need the money. I would've rather had a well-paying career at the time, and spent the same amount of evening time building things
Very much agreed, that and thankfulness or a variation thereof
>Discord is a chat app for chatting with your buddies, privately. Private conversations? Remember those.

You are missing a massive supported use case for Discord. Creating communities. Discord is designed to support servers with hundreds of thousands of users in them if not more. A public discord server with 100k people in it isn't a private conversation with your buddies.
I wish the author gave examples for why he thinks "manipulation" and "gaslighting" are arbitrary and flexible. I think the definitions are actually very clear: manipulation is intentionally using deception, dishonesty, or withheld information to alter someone's behavior or beliefs. It's essentially persuading in bad faith.

It's fair to say that it's extremely difficult to prove manipulation, which makes it seem arbitrary. But, there's plenty of legal standards that require proving intent, not just action. That's a high bar, but it's not unreasonable or arbitrary

What won wasn't conspiracy theories and scammy ads.

What won was videos of cats

Totally orthogonal. Your statement is about as insightful as stating, "no... pants didn't win. shoes won!"

There were always multiple things that were going to "win," right? The web/internet was always going to be some mixture of entertainment (cat GIFs, etc), commerce, communication, and information. They do not compete with each other in meaningful ways.

As you say, yes, there is a lot of great utility out there. I can look up how to fix anything in my house on YouTube. That's super cool, and it has made my life tangibly better.

But as for advertisements and other sorts of information, the outcome is a lot darker. From the article:

Now I regard magazine advertising as a big problem.
I really hate it. It overwhelms the copy text,
which is usually reduced to a dull, grey little
stream trickling its way through enormous glaring
billboard-like pages all of which are clamoring to
draw your attention to stuff you don't want; and the
first thing you have to do when you buy a new magazine
is shake it over a bin in order to shed all the
coupons, sachets, packets, CDs and free labrador puppies
which make them as fat an unwieldy as a grandmother's
scrapbook.

Tell me, with a straight face, that the overwhelming majority of the modern web isn't the digital form of exactly that.
There are a bunch of options out there for doing this. Many ICs have built in key storage, but there are a few that are separate. There are some pros to using on micro key management, but one of the big cons is that many times the auth can be bypassed if you can overwrite or glitch the firmware.

If I were concerned about counterfeit things, in an application like this, you would pre program each one with a unique key and everything would be tied to it. Firmware upgrades need to be validated, to download, you would need the key, run the software, key needs to sign something back… etc.

I do not think it classified he/him as a nickname but rather as a synonym for man ( which is pretty accurate if you do not already know ).

That is why it later referred to him as “my he/him”. I interpret this to be a personalized “my man” as a pronoun ( even a nickname ) like “Gopher” would not require the “my” in front of it.
