From what I can tell they built a tool for themselves to use internally, and open-sourced it. I don't think they were looking for approval or to be taken seriously.

Similarly, Igor built nginx to solve a particular problem, and I think it was a few years before it went open-source.

I can't imagine most OSS developers have delusions of grandeur.
I think this is part of why they make it so damn hard to find apps you already bought or downloaded before. AFAIK there's no way to search these, just a huge list to scroll through in no identifiable order, and anything that was removed or incompatible with the current device just isn't there.
> The human element in manually managing .env files across environments and different cloud providers can easily lead to typos and misconfiguration errors, posing a risk to production stability.

I doubt your other or any other system is going to be immune to operator error. How are env files particularly bad?

> Local development environments constantly break when required updates to an .env file aren't proactively communicated, e.g. a new secret required after merging a pull request.

I like having a config.js file that also does some self validation. Another major win for maintenance is to have two .env files- a user .env and a .env-defaults, which load in that order. Basic config can all go into the .env-defaults and get checked in, then if the developer is doing any customization, they have their own .env to do it in. It's made maintaining .env files not a problem for us.

As for the security & sharing problems, these are real enough.

A totally different style of game which also seriously stretches spatial reasoning: https://vladimirslepnev.itch.io/zigzag

> The solution isn’t for everyone to make web apps, it’s to regulate the app markets.

I'm not really seeing how regulation would really fix the scenario in the OP. What regulations that are likely to pass would prevent Apple and Google from removing apps arbitrarily?

> Web apps are still at the mercy of Apple and Google.

Not really. Apple and Google don't control the entire internet. Though they do have some level of control of the APIs available, ultimately they themselves use the same APIs as well, so...

In any case I disagree with you - web apps are the solution because every app that becomes a Web App instead of native app results in a loosening in the grip that is the Apple/Google duopoly. Once at a critical mass, sites will pop up to curate all of these new found web apps, APIs will be developed to facilitate payments for these apps, and so forth.

Ironically Google initially was not able to compete with Apple with respect to app store curation and promoted PWAs aggressively, but no one really bit. If people just went with that to begin with we wouldn't be in this situation now. So instead of going with PWAs, Google just ended up copying Apple and now both of them just rent seek instead of one.

Prior to PWAs, there were "responsive pages" and Steve Jobs in 2007 actually thought that it would make more sense of all iPhone apps were just responsive apps instead of native apps, and locked down the API to strictly first party apps.

Hackers jail broke the iPhone to unlock all of the functionality, forcing Apple to launch the App Store, resulting in the situation now before us.

We're being given a second chance here with WebAssembly. Let's not screw it up this time around, ya?
The final straw for me was in 2019. My 3 year old version of QuickBooks Pro refused to import any more bank transactions until I upgraded to a newer version. Nothing had changed with data formats or anything -- it was simple extortion: upgrade or the software you own will cease working (fully).

Fuck them. I just wrote my own. I first tried some alternatives like GNUcash, but found it best to just write what I needed (account ledgers, reconcile bank statements, generate P&L and BS reports). I refused any other solution with any dependencies on "the cloud" or any entity.

QB is truly about the shittiest software on the planet, a reputation maintained and expanded over the decades. The simplest recourse, with minimal emotional toll, is to just not use their crap.

This article is missing important details. For example, PA is listed as $1200-2500 cut off. First, the cutoff is anything over $1k, so they're factually wrong. Second, this misses the fact that repeat offenses escalate the grade. On the third charge, it's a felony at any amount.

A slightly different caveat is that theft of specific items is a felony on a first offense. Ne example is theft of a firearm. Although I assume that's similar in many other states as well.
They're also incentivized to show you things that cost them "nothing" or "less" than others things - and if they KNOW the things you'd like to watch it's better for them to string those out so you keep subscribed.

It's kind of a weird rant, but a real problem. The divisive effect has been to weaken the US as a world power.

Meanwhile, Russia's leadership apparently has just issued the orders to move on Ukraine.[1] Putin sees the US as weak and divided, and is taking the opportunity to restore the Russian Empire. (One step at a time. First South Osseta, then Crimea, then Donetsk. How big a bite this time?)

> I've gotten myself a Supernote A5X (awesome device btw) and since it doesn't have a web browser or anything I've wanted to have a way to read news on it.

I've ordered one of these, consistently have seen good reviews. I'll keep this software in mind since it might come in handy for automating some blog feeds I might want to read.

What was the reason you originally got the device? For a lot of people it seems to be a way to "disconnect", gaining the power of traditional note taking/reading/writing combined with indexability and less distractions. Reading news seems like it could just turn it into another gizmo. What do you think?

Banks in the U.S., as in many countries, are under tremendous pressure to suppress money laundering and tax evasion. In addition to published regulations such as Know Your Customer and beneficial ownership, they also face quiet criticism from bank examiners. I don’t mean to imply you’re doing anything shady, of course, nor to endorse this state of affairs, but you need to understand the regulatory climate.

At most U.S. banks, a business, regardless of legal form or domicile, that’s owned and managed from offshore, with no employees, offices, or meaningful operations here, would be considered a very high-risk customer, and the bank would have to monitor its transactions closely, at a cost. Indeed, even well-established U.S. businesses get additional scrutiny if they send or receive international wires. Unlike such local customers, however, your LLC probably wouldn’t qualify for business loans, equipment financing, or other credit products, so the relationship is unlikely to be profitable for the bank. This makes rejecting the application for an account an easy decision.

I hope others can give you some suggestions, but you may wish to reconsider whether your business should be incorporated in the U.S. at all. My views may not be typical, but personally and professionally, I’d rather deal with an Eastern European firm that’s open about where and who it is—with a website identifying its managers, business premises, and tax or commercial registration—than with a U.S. entity that uses a mail drop or gives no address.
Why? You see it when it comes to your house. If it doesn't look good, you throw it away and don't order from them anymore. It's the exact same as delivery food or just eating in a restaurant, for that matter.

> I'd prefer to catch such errors at compile-time.

I don't believe it's possible. These integers often coming from user's input, disk, or network. Compiler can't validate these simply because it doesn't have the data.

Even when possible, it's insanely complicated, and computationally expensive, to catch in compile-time, yet very simple in runtime.

Runtime performance overhead is very small because branch prediction is quite efficient on modern CPUs, these branches are almost never taken, JIT compiler knows about that, and emits code which will be predicted correctly even when uncached.

Spotify frequently commits this sin, too. At one point I literally couldn’t play any albums because a popup obscured my screen whenever I loaded the app. The app quality for a still supported Apple phone certainly made my decision to leave easier.
Exactly. Then there's no need to scream an odd headline.

I wouldn't say there's any "conflict". Who needs to know the detailed hardware structure? Compiler writers maybe, but they experience and order of magnitude more conflicts then.

Is the amount of words per line / margins controlled by the config? Configuration was a bit messy (to me) so I figured I'd ask. If I used this I know I'd like to have large margins and less words per line since it's easier to read and mark up.
Based on what you say here:

> I have argued my question and told you my opinion on self logging and quantified self. I don't understand what else I should be asking.

I feel like I've explained clearly why your initial reply has been down-voted, why people have asked you for clarification, and how that could all have been avoided. So I guess I have nothing further to add on that issue.

I find your comments about your note-taking interesting ... I wish you had given them in your initial reply, because then it would have been a top-level, information-rich comment. But I assume you had your reasons for replying as you did.

Thank you for the clarifications ... I think this discussion is complete.
There’s a good study out there that used parents that couldn’t breastfeed. Some used donated milk and the other group used formula. There was a correlation for IQ, though it was pretty small.
It's also a UI issue. On most OSs I can copy/paste an image like it was text. And a gif counts as an image so I can copy/paste images without having to save them. And since many modern UIs are hostile to saving videos, its the difference between holding and copying vs having to take a screen recording or finding a video download website to rip it.
Pretty on topic considering I built this because of the device lol.

I love it, with the latest update extremely low latency pen, excellent battery life, helped me finally to start being disciplined about notes (couldn't do it with just notebooks), pretty. I also like to draw so it scratches that itch. IMHO the downsides (other than no web browser) are pretty much the regular eink stuff - no backlight, fairly slow UI, some artifacts until you refresh the screen etc... But I like it, imho it's worth the money, and the Supernote team is excellent and responsive to user feedback, which is what I want my money to support in the day and age of closed vaults of idiotic products.

When people start claiming that we are experiencing 'a world gone mad' or 'group hysteria' or, as in this case, "Definitional Collapse", it makes me wonder if that person's context or worldview is one of those that is under pressure.

The world is, as it always has been, tribal. The pressure to ensure that the out-group stays out and the in-group is protected is stronger than ever in the face of ever-present screaming voices from the out-group intruding on our lives.

We hold to tribes first, not beliefs. And we feel pressured to protect even the most lunatic fringe of our own before we make common cause with the most sane voices 'on the other side'

Trying to view the world through the lens of nominal logic will only drive you made with the inconsistencies.
> Kestrel, YARP's underlying webserver, uses libuv instead

Kestrel (as used in ASP.NET) uses a Socket-based transport since .NET Core 2.1
The libuv transport was marked as obsolete in .NET 5 and has been removed as of .NET 6, I believe.

What's wrong with it? I prototype UI's all the time in Unity with no issues? In fact I love the anchoring system?
Any sort of public control over ranking algorithms will create a situation where the spammers and scammers win. Even sites that rank by timeline suffer from this (Craigslist). I don't see a situation where there is enough control for external people to understand the intricacies, without suffering from spam and eliminating any usefulness.

As an example, check out social competitors like this Holonis (www.holonis.com). They are just pure spam and self-promotion - what naturally happens when people who are incentivized to figure out the algorithm for profit are given more clear mappings between inputs and outputs.
Some history: years ago someone at Unity got in love with one of those 3rd party assets, NGUI (if I remember correctly), they started reproducing it inside the engine and realized there could be problems of interest, so they contracted the asset developer, but relegated him to do boring stuff. The guy got depressed and left the company.

Having worked with the older GUI system I actually like what they have now. But I'd have prefered them to adopt CSS.

Now they bought all those inhouse tools from Peter Jackson they will be busy for years to come plugin them. Someone's dream in Unity is making movies, not UIs.
This is what it looks like, especially when the US government is day and night trying to incite a war between Ukraine and Russia. Because Russia is not buying it, they are constantly "reading the mind" of the Russians and saying what they will do, even though neither Russian nor Ukraine are saying they want war.

In the end, just follow the money: if Russia enters into a war, the US is the only to benefit, the same way that in WW2 the US was the great beneficiary. It is always nice to incite wars far away from your country, when you're the main seller of weapons.

It's good advice. The problem with anonymity in an environment of ubiquitous surveillance is that it's paradoxical. The point of anonymity is achieving freedom, but staying anonymous expends energy and makes you a target, so you can't actually do any things that anonymity was supposed to get you.

If what you really want is sovereignty, which is what most people confuse anonymity with, the goal is to be like what Ernst Jünger called the anarch (in contrast to the anarchist), which is someone who complies and renders herself indifferent to authority, rather than standing out and drawing attention.

A much better practice is to be as open as possible about the boring stuff, so you're not constrained and can do what everyone else does. Trying to be absolutist about anonymity is automatically like wearing a straitjacket.
I use MISP all the time, what could you possibly have against storing malware in a database? I mean, it's defacto practice to zip them up with password "infected" anyways but even that aisde, how do you imagine this to be harmful? Flat files in the contrary risk unintended interaction or execution.

Also, there are plenty of alternatives (paid) that do a lot more or less. This isn't one of those one-size-fits-all products, it is a product you pick to help you operationalize threat intel, what that means and the requirement derived from it could be wildly different. I have implemented misp several times and not once did it involve storing actual malware sample (hashes and yara were adequate).
Variable network latency is different than static assymetry.

Variable latency means sometimes there's extra delay, and is solved by throwing away measurements that are outside the norm. Assymetry in delay is not handled by the reference implementation, which assumes equal delay to and from each server.

I don't think programs should be aware of globbing at all except in special circumstances, like with the `find` command. It could be helpful in a few rare circumstances I guess, like with 'rm' as you showed, but you can have the shell itself handle those cases, which is what some shells such as zsh do today.

With regards to trying to pass a literal '*' to commands like calc, I think the user is responsible for escaping the star and not calc itself. Since the shell is what handles glob expansion, calc has no way of even doing so that I can think of. Escaping a glob just requires putting it in single quotes like so

calc '3 * 4 + 5'
Wordle does use copy-to-clipboard.
Yes but not really in the way you're thinking.

I take notes as I work, and if I write something down that I refer to often or modify and build on, it'll probably get migrated-and-refined to a later page so I can continue to reference it there.

If it continues to be useful beyond that and outside of its original context, it gets moved into my digital, searchable notes. Which is more like a personal snippet library/documentation thing than notes.

But anyway yes I reference them, but absolutely not in the way you would reference something that came up in a text search, and I don't go looking for them in a comparable way or expect them to behave like that. It's a different system with different uses I have a car but I still ride my bike most places you know?
