Thank you for this - I'm really like the way you've described your process and am going to steal your method for myself :).

Obsidian looks really cool - I'm doing a lot of projects in a very chaotic manner and have been wanting something for personal knowledge management, that graph / links thing is really cool.

I chuckled when you mentioned refactoring your graph being an interesting process - because I've done similar but with notes and folders no visual linking system just pretty much putting notes in the right folder/book/whatever I'm using - and it's a right pain in the ass compared to this way.
You and OP make a good point. In that most people I’ve come across don’t understand how the Same-Origin Policy and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing differ and relate.

I believe it’s important developers learn the nuances, otherwise we will likely see more faulty implementations.
There is no reason why a social media company needs to exist as such. It should be easy to make a personal html/css based website three decades after the innovation that was the WWW.

However now if I make a plain html website nobody will see it because google will not rank it above all the SEO blog spam and portal results (e.g. Reddit, Quora) and everybody is too busy arguing about something on Reddit/Twitter/Facebook and watching the latest viral 30second tiktok vids to care. Everybody is in one pasture or another being shepherded by vampire corporate interests harvesting their time and emotions.
That's what I've been working on. With self-hosting (or paid hosting) the incentives change. I'd love any feedback people have. https://havenweb.org/
They key part I got was this:

> Scientists had glimpsed these domain walls in quantum materials, but previously, they couldn’t reliably generate and analyze them. Once the UChicago physicists created the recipe to make and closely study the walls, they observed surprising behaviors.

So what was achieved here was from one perspective very fundamental, but it also has big implications in enabling the field to move forward. Other people can now reliably create these meta-structures.
That's one of the features. Live Tensio, one visualization in Wheel Analytics, shows live tension as you introduce your tensiometer to the wheel. A live reading can be recorded by pressing the foot pedal. Tension distribution is then presented in bar graph form along with min/max/avg. A printable version can be generated for record keeping or sharing with customers for marketing purposes.

You are 100% right that tension is a critical wheel dimension.
Do you think omnipresent screens, access to media and visual stimuli has a more profound impact on psyche or being able to use toilets? I would think the former has a way larger impact on our brains.
> The biggest problem is a lack of threading. I can often find questions matching mine, but the answers are impossible to search for because a lot of replies won't ever @ the question asker.

And what if they don’t click the thread button? You’re back in the same problem. So the issue isn’t with discord, it’s with users.
2022 Rivian R1T Review: The Cybertruck That Actually Exists
I'm honestly out of the loop these days, what are the worse alternatives, in the sense of their impact on society?

I feel like Instagram is utterly toxic in the materialistic ideals it spreads, but TikTok mostly seems to have been fairly harmless compared to Facebook and Twitter which just seem to be rage amplifiers.

Also Telegram groups seem to be a hive of scum and villany, but also the organising ground for people fighting for their freedom, so I don't know how I feel about it.

Young people seem to have drifted away from the "broadcast" social media systems and towards messaging systems, but as a middle-age person without teenage kids I suspect I'm probably being naive.
Data portability > decentralization.

The recent trend towards decentralization of tech is great, but if data is not portable then its just a different centralization.

For ex. Matrix/Element is great as an example of decentralization, but since you cant do much with the data if you want to go to something else, its still lock in.
A jailbroken iPhone 3GS is the phone I've had the longest (nearing 5 years I think) and it was a joy to use, so thanks saurik and enjoy the bounty!
The effectiveness of a treatment can be measured, and results observed.

CBT is effective. 12 step programs are not.
Somehow I swiped "contact" instead of "contract" multiple times and didn't notice!
We will never achieve true fully autonomous driving cars in our lifetime.
As I mentioned, amazon is doing those for any kind of business venture afaik.
I have the feeling you're right, but why do you think this is?

As someone not working in those industries, it would seem an obvious choice to move to a safer language, so there must be something I'm missing?
You can do a server wide search. Did you mean spread across servers?
Downvoted fact? Cool.
Russia hooked Europe on its oil and gas
People hate me for this one :) But, I think that companies don't need product managers if they have great UX and tech people.

PS: I am saying this as a former head of product management...
The headline suggests that this is the EU and US failure to find a common ground with Russia, but the article itself describes Putin's refusal to even negotiate, which is a position quite consistent for an autocrat, so nothing new under the sun.

Personally, I find this insistence in bringing back the carcass of the USSR, idiotic. There is not much to gain from invading Ukraine, but antagonizing the EU and their allies.
HTTP status codes are important.
That's very interesting! Thanks for explaining! Let's assume some people would have wanted to bridge OETH back to Ethereum: with the potentially increased supply would it have meant that all the ETH on optimism could have become potentially worthless?
I would call that a matter of perspective. Most things, of course, are exactly the same. I see a huge amount of anti-Apple rhetoric on HN, to the point where I think I could sometimes make an argument that Samsung and Google are paying people to post here. But probably it's just the usual -- the keyboard interface removes the filter on people's thoughts and opinions.
Sorry, but I was in plenty of in-person meetings where people rambled on way too much. I also have been in plenty of remote meetings where people didn't. So I think at best this is a problem of people learning to adapt to the new technology.

As a simple example, look at the protocol for half-duplex radio channels. One says something short and then says, "over" to signal that it's the other person's turn. Is this different than how people talk in person? Sure. Does it work? Definitely.

In your shoes, I would reexamine my concept of "design discussion". My team has made plenty of design choices during the pandemic. Maybe "pitch something" and "speak persuasively" is the wrong approach now.
The ARPANET has been around since 1971. It's been 25 years of bullshit. Because Andreessen is behind the "web" scam a lot of people are in... FOR THE MONEY. Let me guess none of you would be involved in this if it wasn't for $$$. As soon as internet becomes the savings and loans crisis of the 2000's this cough "technology" will disappear.
Yes, as Cal Newport would point out - it’s not that social apps aren’t in some way useful, it’s whether the value they deliver is worth the price they exact by “stealing” large amounts of your time.
User convos on discord are (thankfully) not indexed by google, so how? Did you also know google search devices are a thing and you can implement google search in your produce quite easily?
In China, human costs are built into an iPad
This exists today in Zoom.
I haven’t seen a particular pro Apple stance, but I do see it with China posts.
Maybe I should hesitate a little in calling Javascript an 'early' language but... NaN?
I have a neighborhood grocer in easy walking distance. The best way I could describe it is “imagine a tiny Whole Foods, except more expensive”.

So, we drive to the neighboring, more suburban town to grocery shop.
Notion will fall as a note taking app, but probably survive as an enteprise wiki. The search which is a big issue for now, will get improved, they just move slowly.
(non-tech view) Fooling yourself is easy. (Contrarian because I think we are taught otherwise when young.)

I only saw your comment after a day and just tried your extension, it works great! I really like how much faster it is than JSONVue, and the JQ integration looks super useful; this is a really good start.

You forget taxes. It’s roughly 1M post income tax.

Historically, 4% withdrawal rate is likely to last you at least 30 years with funds invested.*

Currently people are pessimistic about stock market returns going forward so it could be lower (3-3.5%). And even lower if you want it to last longer than 30 years.

Not on capital gains. At least in the US that’s only taxed at 15% with no tiering. The deck is stacked for the investment class
That's the thing: many things are both a) popular and b) seem to help.

These are not useful tools for scientifically measuring effectiveness, however. This is why we have clinical trials and things like double-blind studies.

There is an overarchingly popular human pastime that underlies these 12 step programs' philosophies that a majority of human beings on Earth believe will result in improving your life, but that doesn't make it true.
My grandparents are now 95 and 96 (just shy of their 75th wedding anniversary). They are wonderful people, but it is clear that life is hard for them now. They have chronic pain and nothing can really be done about it. They have very limited opportunities for enjoyment or activity.

Watching them, and also my mother struggle with health issues at 73, has really changed my perspective on aging. I am very focused on enjoying my health now (at 47). Some people are spry and enjoying life up to their early 90s (my grandparents), but some experience health declines much earlier.

The stoic idea that "there will be a last time for everything" in your life (last time you go for a jog, last hike in the mountains, last time you can move without pain, last time you can travel, etc etc) is how I think about aging. I really try to enjoy the physical health I have now, and keep in mind that it will not last forever.
As someone who doesn’t write C regularly, or work in those areas, I am curious if you wouldn’t mind explaining how you arrived at this conclusion?

Are you just hinting at the fact that these industries are slow to evolve, or is it something specific about the languages?

The Hitchhiker's Guide is such a good meditation and exploration on the randomness and ridiculousness of the universe. Personally I would recommend the original radio series rather than the book, I think Adams was a better script writer than author.
Do you think that a bank or a government would've handled fixing such a flaw as well has optimism did?

All tokenization schemes are ponzi scams including USD, it's just that some use violence to stay relevant, and other use bug bounties.
Maybe the internet has peaked in how much good versus evil it brings upon the world.

In the same time, hackernews has become a negative spiral of death. Every third post is negatively fatalist in some sort. From cancer to civilization and environmental collapse. Keep in mind, you can be fatalist in a positive way.

Everywhere you look, you see what you are looking for. As wallstreet people say, it is never as bad or as good as you think.

I suggest you do:

echo '0.0.0.0 news.ycombinator.com' | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

and just unblock it from time to time if you wanna see whats up. (thats what I do)
It's okay to me if you disagree with the concept that you'll learn these things with age. I don't think it's condescending for me to think this. I am sure there are people of all ages who are wiser than me, and that I could be wrong in what I am confident about today. If you are confident in your beliefs, go ahead and believe that you're right and I'm wrong. But if you're offended by my statements, I think you're not that confident in your beliefs.

On the plasticity of human nature, here are a few of the many unfortunate things that will never be excised from human nature: self-absorption, self-deception, groupthink, dehumanization of the outgroup.

Culture can modulate the expression of these things, and if we're lucky, mitigate them somewhat. But they never quite go away. They always find a way to manifest themselves. And it is the people who think they've transcended these things who are most at risk of indulging in their worst excesses.

If you don't recognize the durable aspects of human nature, you're setting yourself up to be at best a dupe and a mark, and at worst a monster.
I think the reason people see this is that different groups value different things. Apple perfectly fits many people's values, but the group that have different values can't understand that someone else might other values.
My point is that cost is not the main driver. But mostly having independence from suppliers.

We actually experienced high historical costs in 2021 for electricity as well. Nuclear does not shield us from variation in gas prices
This one I struggle with. I feel like captain obvious stating that someone needs to represent the business/mission objectives and manage accordingly. That’s a completely different swim-lane than most tech/UX folks are focused on. (Not that everyone shouldn’t share similar perspectives).
Assuming his Government will get half, are you assuming he will only live 10 more years?
I've read that again, and still I don't get it.

To me, learning to live on the cheap to drop out, and planning to FIRE are essentially the same thing: removing the "work" part from life, because you don't love it, or divorcing what you do on the weekend (work of love that brings no money) from what you do during the week (stuff you hate but brings money)

Personally, I love working and doing interesting things, and being with other people and society itself!

So my personal plan is the opposite of FIRE: work until I die regardless of what happens on the side like payouts, because I enjoy what I do: stopping what I do just because something happened on the side would be like punishing myself, then waiting to die out of boredom? Doesn't seem like such a bright idea to me!

Maybe it's different if you don't like modern society, or maybe other people, or the idea of work itself?

I would recommend this alternative approach instead: embracing ikigai: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai

From https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20170807-ikigai-a-japan...

"To those in the West who are more familiar with the concept of ikigai, it’s often associated with a Venn diagram with four overlapping qualities: what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for."
Exit signs on highways would very much be an example of "purchasing a bit of somebody's attention that was initially directed at something else" IMO.
"Most of the open source tools today (e.g. kubernetes, tensorflow, pytorch) are not coming from academia , but from big tech companies."

The three projects chosen for the argument were started by companies, but let's dig a bit deeper. Kubernetes wouldn't be possible without container technology, enabled by modules contributed to Linux, and Linux did not start in a company, but rather by a student at the University of Helsinki. Pytorch wouldn't exist without Python, which was started at CWI (another research institute) in the Netherlands. Heck, we are having this argument over a protocol developed by CERN. The references seem to indicate a bias towards machine learning, but I can tell you that the researchers working on these tools would still be doing so at a university even if the companies weren't bankrolling the salaries, and even though they are at a company, they still act as if they are in academia.

Thus, I would claim that saying "most of the open source tools today are not coming from academia" is short-sighted at best. The revolutions are happening in academia, where it is safer to do more greenfield research, as opposed to working in a company where you have to have a shorter runway to profitability.

"The problem is not those companies, but rather the consumers do not want to pay for anything online. Hence, the need for advertising, privacy issues, etc."

IMHO, the problem exists on both sides. Yes, someone needs to pay to keep the lights on, and consumers should be expected to pay a nominal fee for some services. But they shouldn't need to pay with their privacy, or by shady manipulation, or by disingenuous EULAs. I don't know the solution, but I do know that cookie tracking isn't it, nor forcing people to watch ads with eye tracking like MoviePass is suggesting, nor surreptitiously spying on people's watching habits to subsidize TVs.
Even if this is trolling, I don't understand? who doesn't like revolving doors?
It's the survival of the fittest. Whoever can make the most number of people feel the worst wins.
IPv6 is way further out thank people think.[1]

Sure, things can work okay server side if you're with a top 10 cloud provider, but support gets abysmal quick as you move further from the top.

[1] I'll define this as "the majority of home users perform the majority of their day to day web actively almost exclusively over IPv6"

'Microservices' are a terrible idea.
Its also important to note that Rust changed radically in its early life. Here's one of its core authors describing some of the changes they went through (in part) as a result of dogfooding the language in its own compiler, in the context of BitC's failures:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3750882

The language it had evolved into by 2012 is also radically different from the language it became by 1.0 in 2015.
Sure start with a pleasantry, but include the question in the same message! Write it out first in notepad or whatever if need be. The first message needs to have enough information for them to process the topic as you are already demanding the recipient's attention with it.
> Isn't there any API (? or something) for apps to run in "minimal" mode, to wake up the phone when needed?

Ubuntu Touch is the only distro that has a mechanism like this, and my understanding is it doesn't run that well on the PinePhone. The rest will wake up for an incoming call or SMS, but otherwise will stay asleep.

> Does this also mean that it's not possible to have the phone notify you when you receive an email in sleep mode?

Currently, AFAIK, yes.
A more pedantic thread title is "What are your contrarian views that you feel comfortable sharing?"

People probably aren't going to share the truly interesting insights that deletes a business competitive advantage they have or say something that risks getting them cancelled.

Quadcopter-style drones won't be useful for much beyond carrying cameras. The applications will basically stop at military reconnaissance, search and rescue, and mapping. Some applications in the film industry, but as a percentage this is tiny.

Other applications are like trying to stick a round peg into a square hole.
I got a good laugh at how many people replied sincerely to this comment, not knowing it’s literally the opening paragraph of the Unabomber’s Manifesto.
In the US I pay about $15 to $25 for jeans. No idea how much it would cost to have someone repair them.

For the same reason it would be condescending to say that a person is too old to understand something.
Not even close. There's no reliable way to get a fixed income, and inflation is very high.
As someone who has never built a wheel but as someone who has spent hundreds of dollars getting a wheel trued only to have it go out of true a month later, I can understand this price.

It's easy to make (or buy) a shitty wheel, but if you commute on a bike, you need to invest in well built wheels
As someone who dislike all the big guys, and only really likes positive Linux/FOSS news (if I'm honest), I have tested it thoroughly. Apple is the most protected brand, followed by Microsoft. Google, Amazon and Facebook don't seem to have any natural supports or shills... that I've seen. They probably do though - why wouldn't you?

Edit: it should be clear that I'm speaking anecdotally, right? I obviously can't say for certain.
Ah, I see now. Only saw first intro movie.

Interesting tool, although I`m not a wheel builder. Its a real craftsmanship ;)
> Tesla lies in their marketing, the industry is sexist, Rust is overhyped, Wayland still isn't very usable

I agree with everything else but RV is actually a big improvement over OpenPower and many other ISAs.
Commercial trucks usually have speed limiters.
I don't think this is that controversial within the HN crowd. Every company but Tesla is working to drive safely only within a monitored geofenced area.
It's ridiculous that you can run full blown OSes in your device inside a VM, but you can't do it on metal, because you're device is locked so much.
Exactly this. All in one message, not so that you send the first "Hey" and then formulate the main question for a couple of minutes while the other person is already waiting.
Sure, if you want to ignore the fact he was part of a C series funding round of $55 million, say just two months ago as an example, and believe he's solely done seed funding, be my guest.

If you want to ignore the fact he's been a director and has to sign off on balance sheets, also be my guest.
> That is that the belief that addiction is curable. It isn’t. It’s a lifelong condition which therefore requires lifelong treatment.

This concept is at odds with modern psychiatric medicine and scientific inquiry, and is likely objectively false, yet persists as a core tenet of 12 step programs, seemingly beyond debate.

The prosecutor’s statement is just normal posturing. It’s common language; a prosecutor will never state ‘the charges were baseless and are a waste of our time’. But that’s essentially what their statement means.
