I tend to take two kinds of notes:

1. Running todo list or quick combo-list of todo's for a specific project.

This is basically throw-away but has some historical interest in that it can be fun to flip back to todo list pages and see what a previous week looked like, in general. There is also interesting signal in the notes itself ... for instance, the more stressed I am, the large and more illegible my handwriting grows.

2. Notes taken on paper from a meeting or class or lesson.

These are often taken on paper for a specific reason (for one thing, when I talk to clients in person, I hate to have a laptop in front of me, even though I could type much quicker than I can write.) These notes I will generally photograph with my smartphone and upload directly to an online note taking system (Evernote has gotten a lot better again recently). I find that Evernote and presumably several other note taking systems are actually pretty good at basic OCR / I can generally search text that is written legibly on these notes. If I add some basic tags or other information to the note after it is uploaded, this pretty much fulfills my needs to be able to interact with the note digitally after the fact.
I do wish they had a cheaper commercial tier that maybe didn’t offer priority support or something.

$50/year puts you next to some good developer tools, that already do markdown pretty well, and I just don’t see the point of writing notes if they’re not also for work.

I’m sure it’s worth it once you have 100s or 1000s of notes by i somehow feel like it’s a bit of a too big pill to swallow in the beginning.
Same principle applies to Let's-Players on Youtube / Twitch that play new games "non-optimally". In their comment sections you'll see people commenting about how they bought the game just to be able to play it correctly themselves, to prove to the streamer and themselves that their strategy is better.
Most people aren't even aware that it happened so you're miles ahead of the game just from that alone. As far as forcing them to do it, if the market was more aware and willing to actually pursue the purpose of all this to begin with it would have been trivial for all of us to put our money where our mouth was at the time and boycott bitfinex and anybody else who dared follow them on the same nonsense. But because of a combination of the usdt fraud, outright censorship and narrative manipulation, and last of all the fundamental unalterable stupidity of the vast majority of the species, that's not what happened. BCH had a brief boom to 0.5 BTC and ever since its trudged endlessly forward with very little growth still faithfully executing on the original agenda whilst simultaneously being barraged with new split attacks and simple name calling from people who if they understood the actual facts on the ground, should be doing the exact opposite.

But that's life. We're stuck with the world we have and the nature of the people in it, warts and all. We don't get to wish them away, we must contend with it as it actually is. And any currency that can't operate with those realities of human nature as they are is going to always have that problem to contend with because if there's one thing I've learned about humans at scale, it's that they don't change. I keep that in mind constantly now and the education I got from the experience is priceless and it's the primary lens through which I see most things now; keeping that fundamental lie of equality and the common sense of humanity and how we're all invulnerable to propaganda in mind.

It's definitely served me well over the past few years, so hats off to the Machiavellian psychopaths responsible for the entire episode I guess.
yeah, likewise, I have been using markdown and folders of files for ages, started to use Obsidian and it provides a nice editor for that, and yes, it even has a vim mode!

I bought ER the other day after hearing rave review and was super disappointed. I ended up returning it after a couple hours.

* Visuals: Disappointing. Looked like a cheap free-to-play MMO. Cheap-looking textures, stock-looking characters, bad rigging (e.g. characters holding things in unnatural poses), etc.

* Controls: Unpleasant. Controls felt very sluggish. If this is supposed to make the game more challenging or something, this isn't a very fun mechanic.

* Software quality: Terrible. Performance is not good, tons of bugs, graphics issues, wouldn't recognize my controller when I had multiple input devices plugged in.

* Dialogue: What little I saw was super corny. Used as a crutch for poor level design. E.g. a ghost telling you something to the effect of "you need to jump into this hole to continue the game".

* Multiplayer felt like a cheap gimmick. I wanted to turn it off.

And so on. This honestly felt like someone's first attempt at making a Unity game, not a magnum opus from an experienced developer.

Am I missing something? This is my first souls game; is feeling cheap and clunky part of the aesthetic?
Yep, this demonstrates (IMO) the actual problem: we want to have our cake (an artificially elite educational system) and eat it too.

I want to an artificially elite high school (one of the best in the country), and I would much rather see everyone and not just the presumed elite treated the way I was.
It is called a 'conflict of interest'. (in this case it is national interest).

Fifa has often rules for this, where it avoid drawing to teams to play together when they are in constant/active conflict.

So, if there are some national tempers flaring, or a war somewhere, it is a better idea to have some boundaries.

Why we hope most people are good natured, we don't live in a perfect world, and it would be insane, or completely naive to believe that 'biases' do not exist.

The other side of it is 'ethnic nepotism', where people hire and favor people from their own countries, creating this pools of mono-ethnic teams in a company which statistically are not probable. This is actually a very common sight in Tech companies and we all know it.
I'm glad some laws are finally applying appropriate punishments for corporate malfeasance. Until we start giving jail time to executives who willfully and openly violate laws, we don't have a chance of stopping the onslaught of corporate lawlessness.

The punishments we give are too harsh on petty crimes committed by the poor and powerless, but far to lenient on the vast crimes of the rich and powerful.
I've updated the gist to include that, this, and many other links.
Perhaps if something doesn’t make sense, ask for clarity instead of asserting that changing one’s surname makes zero difference.

I am also familiar with many upper-caste people who have changed their surname to something generic (like Kumar) to avoid revealing their caste. This doesn’t just apply to job seeking in private enterprises. They do this to avoid any kind of attention drawn to their surname, and hence caste. This attention can then play out differently in different scenarios.

Developed it looking at the answer and guess lists and finding words that maximize frequency and placement. E.g. Y and E are very commonly seen in fifth position. No code, just excel and searching the word lists with regular expressions.

It's so effective the game lost a lot of its fun :( I almost always get the answer on guess #4. The days I struggle and get it on guess 5 or 6 are fun though! :)

I would say working on something is better than nothing at all. Mainly for two reasons:

1. You'll get to learn something new by building it yourself.
2. It will instill a sense of discipline in you which is invaluable.

Think of it like working out, even though it may not be exciting it is almost always a net positive.
I've heard "White adjacent" before, including someone using it to describe me. I think that phrase, however you might feel about it, has a substantially different connotation than "Honorary White."
One of the big things I love about Dropbox is automatic version control of the file.

This sounds like an awesome schedule. Sleep in, work for a very reasonable number of hours, and then have plenty of energy left to hang out with your kids (somewhat earlier than most commuters get home).
I am surprised that India has managed to hide its caste system from the rest of the world so well; the ridiculous caste system which assigns a person's worth based on birth circumstances and cannot be changed during her/his lifetime.
According to the recalled head of San Francisco's School Board, anyone who succeeds in the current system are using "white supremacist" thinking to get ahead:

"“Don’t Asian Americans know they are on his list as well?” Collins wrote, using asterisks in place of a racial slur. “Do they think they won’t be deported? profiled? beaten? Being a house n(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)r is still being a n(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)r. You’re still considered ‘the help.’”"

https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-school-boards-...

Of course the more likely reason is that this is nothing more than a power grab and any data point that suggests minorities can succeed in the current system is an arrow at the heart of their political theories.

By the same argument that this justifies attacking Ukraine, you must think the US would be justified in attacking Canada if Mexico hosted the Chinese and Russian missiles you describe.

> Yeah, but let's face it. Their "elite" spetsnaz got captured during an operation.

I highly doubt this, considering https://nikopol.nikopolnews.net/nikopol/uvaga-informaciya-pr... claims the image is of Ukrainian military. In addition to that, all the claims of them being Spetsnaz seem to originate from social media.

> The fearsome Chechenians were on the way to capture the leaders, and then turned out the Ukrainians already drone striked them including the general.

Once again, there is no solid source for this that doesn't circle back to some social media post.

I don't think there's currently way to confirm whether any of these claims are true or not, not until the conflict is over.
> the problem is and always has been that the particular school you attend has too much weight, irrespective of ability or aptitude. if college admissions were high school blind then this wouldn't even matter to begin with. simply being great, regardless of which school you attend would be enough.

Concisely said. Blinding applicants' high schools would reveal the inequality in treatment latent in our educational system.
The truth is unspeakable because it is unpalatable in its full form, but one can attempt to guess that it comes from the idea that, in a vacuum, all races would be represented equally at universities and that any deviation from that presents an outcome resulting from humans artificially inducing changes in the total population applying.

i.e. the idea that if a high number of Asians are making it in despite low prevalence in the total population, then it is because we have created a system that serves them disproportionately (and therefore unfairly).
Classic discrimination.
Ideally, yes. But if the group of people who meet your standards does not exactly match the demographics of the general population, you will be held accountable.
Proportional representation is inherently fixed sum. If X% of one group is too low and you want to increase it, then increasing that representation must also reduce the representation of other groups. There's no way around this.

The change to subjective admissions criteria that led to a drop from 73% Asians to under 50% at Thomas Jefferson could be said to be more inclusive of the races that saw increased representation. It's also correct to say that it's more exclusive of Asians.
Install scripts can be disabled with a config file, or npm flag, but your paranoia is not unwarranted.
Choosing not to implement insecure and poorly thought out features isn't "underfunding" or "neglecting" Safari. It's a choice to put users, not Google, first.

Google has used a litany of underhanded tactics to obliterate every single browser in an open space. Claiming opening up iOS to competing browsers would be helping Safari succeed is just ignoring history.
The thing is that those metrics are very poor metrics that don't correlate well to the "true ideal performance", even if compared to a subjective manager's intuition with all the randomness and biases.

Replacing a subjective metric that's at least somewhat effective with a metric that's totally useless (because those inherent inaccuracies/biases are even worse than even a poor manager's judgement), that's throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The primary purpose of a performance metric is to measure performance, and being prejudice-resistant is something that's nice to have - the primary reason why you implement a metric is not because you need something that can be argued.
You're right, instead of treating them(secretaries) like a trusted confidant and rewarding them well financially - thus ensuring their loyalty (even after their employment!) and compensating them for their truly valuable contribution - we should instead create a law that hamstrings an entire industry and continue to bend the knee to the rich and whatever is convenient for them.

I have a couple of remote Elixir positions open. We also do Typescript and React. Please contact me via Keybase if you’re interested.
That's one way to do it, but then you just perpetuate the biases inherent in the system.

For example if the standards include "child of an alumni", that's not very fair. If the standards include GPA, that's not very fair to someone who went to a school that doesn't offer AP tests.

And what they look like is important because certain people experience life very differently depending on what they look like.
I think it's a combination of a relatively slim standard library and culture. For the culture part, JS devs seem to be more willing to install dependencies for basic functionality, rather that copy-pasting simple code into their projects. For example, `isobject` (https://www.npmjs.com/package/isobject) gets 55 million weekly downloads, but it's 3 lines of code
I called the stated reason i.e. fearing losing out on jobs and promotions nonsensical.
I wasn't aware you could block in-app ads. (Thanks for the heads-up!) That may be a primary reason that many don't block these ads. Browser adblockers are relatively well known, and relatively popular, but I don't think that's true of blocking in-app ads.

For in-app, there's also the tech hurdle. Now that I know there's a method, I'm tech savvy enough to search it out an implement it, but there's going to be a much higher barrier than a click-to-install browser extension which means the average user (who won't know what a proxy is to begin with) won't really have access to this method.
Let's not beat around the bush here. It's "messy" because it's racist against Asians.
Indeed, it's very common to want to close all FDs other than 0, 1, and 2, of course, as well as a few other exceptions (e.g., a pipe a parent might read from, FDs on which flocks are held). The reason one often wants to close all open FDs besides those is simple: too many FDs that should be made O_CLOEXEC often aren't, and even when they are, too often there is a race to use fcntl() to do so on one thread while another one forks. Yes, there are new system calls that allow race-free setting of O_CLOEXEC on new FDs, but they will take a long time to be widely used.

I've implemented closefrom() type APIs more than once. Of course, I happen to know about Illumos', so there's that.
Exactly, it's almost a "cargo cult game design" problem. A lot of other studios are just picking pieces of FromSoft's designs without really understanding why those pieces were there in the first place.

Strongly agree. For me, there are several levels of 'assistance' with the game, and at some point it becomes cheating.

1. Guessing the first word(s) randomly, and then solving from there. Not cheating at all, but frustrating for me, as I am terrible at anagrams.

2. Using a generic dictionary to check possible answers against. Not cheating. I use the standard dictionary in my Linux distro, filtered by 5-letter words.

3. Using the dictionary from the source code to check against. Skirting dangerously close to cheating, but probably OK.

4. Using the list of possible answers. Clearly cheating.

5. Using starting guesses that I concocted myself by studying a generic letter frequency table. Not cheating.

6. Using optimal starting guesses, generated by someone else, based on the WORDLE letter frequencies. Cheating.

7. Using software that I wrote to automate my elimination process based on the dictionary in (2). Again, skirting close to cheating, but possibly OK.

8. Using someone else's software to guess, based on solution graphs. Cheating.

The main issue with these new UI frameworks is that they are composable and dynamic. It's great because you can make your own application specific or organisation wide UI libraries that are, in essence, a collection of free functions. But it also means that the dependencies of all those functions need to be compiled. This same workflow is fine in the JavaScript world because it's an interpreted language and the compilation step can be skipped.
I don't think there's anything particularly dreamy or fanciful about a more equal educational system.

My understanding is that the US, with its uniquely devolved set of educational authorities and standards is alone in the developed world in terms of the inequality of education offered to its children.
They could also just watch a speed-runner to convince themselves that they will never play it optimally.
Skyward was great. The 2nd book in the series, Starsight, less so. I believe those are considered YA novels though. I think Elantris would be a better recommendation. Its a standalone book and probably one of his best works.
A better approach is to exec an intermediate helper program that will do it and then exec the actual intended program. One can also use this approach to do things like reset signal dispositions to SIG_IGN.

I don't think physicists have better or worse character than the average person. However I think smart people excel at rationalizing their uselessness. "At least I'm teaching undergrads. At least I know enough advanced math that people struggle to call me out on my shit. At least I protect the environment by refraining from making anything, or doing experiments. At least I write winning grants and fund my graduate students."

I think it's the rare physicist that actually thinks "Yes, this work is useless, but I need a job and will keep up the subterfuge." I think the rationalizations are more common. But this is just my opinion. And consider the context: what's the alternative? Do you realize how hard it is to discover something actually, really new? And the sheer impossibility of doing scientific discovery on a schedule? The expectations are really insane in science. I can't help but think that "professional scientist" is not such a good idea, that we were better off when people did science on the side, as a hobby, and once in a while they'd find something cool and publish it.
Why can’t we solve this problem by forcing users to provide checksums? It’s particularly damning that Microsoft owns Github and Npm for their own strategic purposes and do nothing to mitigate the fact that source code hosted on Github can differ drastically from the compiled code in the registry.
