Hey, Logseq looks really cool. I really love that there are so many options nowadays for knowledge management.

It's interesting to hear from more people that their onyx device works great, I've really struggled with making mine a part of my workflow. Also, I had no idea they now had color options. That's kinda cool!

Re the export to MD. I don't see that as a problem, the question really is about file formatting.

1. Do you have an example md file that's formatted in a way that would work for importing to logseq?

2. Export on a daily basis - would this go via api to somewhere? Or manually send you a download file on a daily basis? What's the idea here?
GPT-3 and these kind of natural language generators in general can already present opinions if prompted to do so. Depending on what you mean by "opinion", you might also require some memory to let it be consistent in what opinions it presents to you. (Not that humans are always consistent either.)

If you dig any further than this into the question, you quickly get back to the age-old question of "when is it 'real' consciousness and not just an automaton that acts and sounds conscious?"

This is exaggerated but in the right direction. Consider A/B testing. We know that works. We know how. It’s been a big deal for well over a decade. And it’s still not standard. There are large, profitable companies that sell direct to consumers that don’t do it who would reliably, predictably get a 10% bump in profits off of doing it.

But it does grow. Selling things on the internet isn’t as competitive as highly liquid, transparent financial markets but people do pick up $100 bills lying on the street eventually.

> is your business cool with a business disruption, dataloss, or both when that VM goes down

Most businesses seem to handle downtimes okay; some money[1] is lost, maybe.

[1] And if the business feels that the expected (negative) value of the downtime is less than the cost of mitigating it, they simply (correctly) ignore it. For example, most businesses don't build a separate highway to their building in the event that a traffic jam causes fewer customers to show up. The expense is not worth the savings.

I moved from being a Linux zealot during the late 1990's to just use it on the server room, because what I really cared was UNIX actually and ironically all commercial UNIXes have had a better desktop story on having a full development stack story and with exception of macOS all others are practically gone.

Ironically despite all my C remarks, XFCE is one of the best experiences on desktop Linux, followed by KDE.

Just to think that on a past life I did write articles promoting Gtkmm.
Solar is already dirt cheap, and there is not much more juice left to squeeze. We might get a little bit more cost reduction over the next decade, maybe somewhere in the 10-50% range, but this isn't much compared the multiple hundreds of % that we saw over the last two decades. Also, at least in the short term, we are seeing some increases in cost due to supply chain and inflation issues.

The bigger the clock skew, the harder it is to correlate events from logs. The harder it is to corelate, the more information needs to come from your machine-fueled winnowing stage, to the final inspection by eyeballs.

1-2 seconds is (probably) well within manageable. But, since you now know for SUER that you have clocks running at different speeds, you need to over-estimate the skew. And hope that the daily skewing is approximately constant over time.

So, yes, clock skew can have an impact on your security, because it makes event correlation (and followup on security incidents) harder.

> Though that max distance is defined to be 20,000,000.

This is almost true (in real life). The meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the equator to the north pole. Given that the earth is a fairly "nice" sphere, the maximum distance between any two points on earth is very close to 20,000,000 meters.

One thing I missed above is "But what about Testing???", since that's a common reason for building things this way.

For me, the most important aspects of a codebase are "is it Readable" and "is it Debuggable". In my mind, the problem with building in a functional style for Testability sake is that you have to trade off a lot of Debugability to get there. It's the "know what's going on" bit I wrote above. For me, it's not an acceptable tradeoff. Bug reports come in from users as "debugging requests" rather than unit tests, so I want to optimize for that sort of future work.

I actually wrote an article about this a dozen years ago [1] listing my priorities in a codebase, and I don't even think Testable made the list. I'm all for testing where it makes sense, but I'm not going to rearchitect my thing just so that testing is easier.

Right. But I didn’t assert that all things can be gainfully modeled.

I suggested that the non-specific incompleteness of a model isn’t a compelling reason not to use the model.
this is quite ridiculous….
I'm always amazed that people can't see this as greed. If the CEO of a medical equipment company said: "screw all these expensive software engineers, physicists and testers, I have a 14 year old niece who can code up our radiation therapy machine for nickels" no one would be blaming incompetence of devs. I don't see how all the lack of solid requirements, software development process, testing and means of recourse are any different, apart from the potential consequences being non fatal, obviously.

"It makes logs more annoying, and sometimes security needs logs" is a pretty weak connection, though. And it's a far cry from precise timing being "THE most important thing on a server". Is there anything more direct at all?
Yeah it’s an example from the past, at the time it was due to the level of modification we made to the engine. This was at the time Epic was making Gears of War and we were using UE3 from its early beta and our project was quite different to Gears so the engine didn’t really support what we needed.

These days for many projects it’s more about how much the underlying features you’re using have changed.

Either way if you’re using an engine and have extensively modified it upgrading is always going to be a pain. It’s just there is less call to now.

In the 90s-00s, when I was a younger, (even) more arrogant nerd, I looked down on Microsoft and their stupid technologies: Visual Basic, Access, Word, and more. Simple, limited tools that I only saw ugly, half-broken systems built with.

Until I saw a something by Steve Ballmer (I think), explaining that their strategy was to provide tools for those "99% developers". The ones who don't read HN, the ones who don't code for fun. Everyone for whom coding is something that gets in the way of their real objective.

No wonder they produced bad code! But that's not the point: they're solving something else. They're not spending effort making bug-free maintainable code, they've got more important things to do. They're doing the accounting for their small company, point of sale for the shops in their city, all the kind of things that may not be glamorous but that's all around us (for better or for worse)

So while I puttered around in my self-congratulatory ivory tower of unix, Microsoft understood what the real world needed, for the 99% of developers...

>The rent must cover all the costs of the property (+ some profit). If any cost goes up, the rent will go up by at least that much. Anything else is wishful thinking.

Isn't the real problem the economisation of education? The desire to express the value of education in monetary terms is really only useful for those running education businesses, like e.g. many of today's universities in the US ans UK.

One side effect of the economisation of education is the desire to quantify and standardise "academic quality". For example, setting minimum pass rates for modules, which ultimately leads to declining assessment standards. Or "value added" as a major criterion for educational success, i.e. how much students improve as opposed to how well they did overall (leading to universities taking on many students who are actually not fit for study, because as long as they graduate, much "value" is added for them).

Education has a value beyond money, and in countries where education is free or low cost (like Germany) it is often organised around providing the student with the opportunity to learn, rather than focusing on graduating as many students as possible. It is in the responsibility of the student to make use of the resources provided, rather than the responsibility of the provider to satisfy a paying customer. Students who graduated from such universities often are more capable of independent thinking in my experience.

I like this culture too, and I wish it was more prevalent. Unfortunately, many developers today oppose it, writing explanatory code comments in natural language is seen as unnecessary, and documentation in natural language is seen as an afterthought.

At one point I was thinking about moving to Canada.

Then the ethnic genocides news came which connected Pierre Elliott Trudeau (Justin's father) to "wiping out the Indian problem" with the Catholic Church.

Justin distanced himself only to wait a few months and show his lack of basic decency. Blocking people's access to their own money is extremely low. I find it hard to have any kind of respect for Justin Trudeau.

Other than that, I really thought that I'd have to wait longer - at least till the end of analog money - to see first signs of western-government-turned-slave-master.

When we forfeit cash, we forfeit freedom and ownership. There will just be corporations and government allowing us access to "our" money under strict slavery-like conditions.
