I have been using OneNote after going through a bunch of plaintext tools and I have never been at more ease with dumping info from my head for later retrieval. OneNote makes it as fluent as possible with as little resistance that no other tool offers.

New version of OneNote (metro style) has been bitten by designers though like all good things in recent times. Also, it does not have customizable shortcut keys making formatting code snippets a non-trivial process.

Every page is a white board which no other tool does and that's where it's power is. Plaintext can't beat that.
Every time I see something come up about an npm package getting compromised, I think of this:

Just curious - what would you say makes it better?
When I first saw minitel in the early 90s what surprised me was not just the technology, but the sense from the denizens that this was just a completely normal service to have.

I’m sure they had a honeymoon period when it felt magic, but thereafter it was such a useful part of life that it just became a commodity.

I wish I could objectively see how the true internet affected me in that same light. Being immersed in it, I had no idea how it went from a toy to part of everyday life.
Remarkable how that letter is twisted into being a "big fan" of Pinochet and endorsing his violent behavior.
Normal people don't care about FOSS or even know what it is.

They would probably use that 100 on food or fuel.
Conflating giving somebody an "upgrade" with preventing disease is fairly disingenuous.

So is suggesting something you can acquire through work (owning a computer) is comparable to something you must be born to. They're not the same.

Shameless plug: We (mitmproxy) have a somewhat reasonable web UI (React/Typescript), but I think there's a lot more potential here. We're also looking for Google Summer of Code students at the moment, so if someone wants to spend a few months hacking on cool FOSS stuff while getting a nice stipend for it, please check out https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/issues/5048 and reach out to me. I'd love to work with good front end folks on this! :)
> If farm workers' job gets sufficiently bad from a value proposition perspective, then people will leave the occupation and employers would be forced to pay higher wages to attract workers.

Serious question - have you ever been poor? Are you aware that sometimes people have to work at shitty jobs because they have no other options? And, if employers really would "be forced to pay higher wages" as you claim, why are all the restaurants in my city still short staffed?

I'm not claiming to have a solution but claiming "the market will fix it" seems like such a cop-out, like telling someone god will take care of it.
Recognizing "this is a cat" and "this is a specific painting of a cat" are different challenges though.
Sysadmins, private network operators, and device owners are just a subset of malicious attackers and "evil" nation states.

The average user doesn't know to care. They keep buying this garbage and, in turn, financing the lobby against consumer protection laws for embedded devices.

It makes me want to give up on technology and go live in a shack in the woods.

>degradation of our civil liberties, rights...I've donated money to the EFF and ACLU

The tough part is that it's hard to find find organizations that still defend the core principles without caveats. The ACLU used to be a neutral defender of free speech, but now they seem to have lost that.

"The Times reports that at a recent ACLU event, “A law professor argued that the free-speech rights of the far right were not worthy of defense by the ACLU. … [And] an ACLU official said it was perfectly legitimate for his lawyers to decline to defend hate speech.”

Every organization seems to get more polarized and, with that, principles may get sidelined.

> ...are just more academically inclined than others...

It's not "races", it's culture. We should just remove this whole idea of "race" from our understanding of social phenomena, all it can do is mislead. There are African, Black subcultures like the Igbo and Ashanti that achieve to the highest levels academically (including in the West!) and Asian subcultures that don't place any focus on education, and struggle as a result. Culture is what matters. Forget race.
while i vaguely agree with the idea behind this comment, this explanation is particularly poor. by that logic, it should be allowed to kill people to prevent murder. it is, in fact, allowed to kill people to prevent murder, but only in specific legally-prescribed circumstances. typically, only specific people are allowed to kill, and only to prevent an immediate murder. the same applies for child porn: it is allowed to have child porn to prevent child porn, but only under certain legally-prescribed circumstances.
It was very difficult to say anything. I’m surprised you found some exceptions, I was just going by the memory. I distinctly remember it was such a struggle to express.

Even the mildest comments about inflation were straight out flagged as it was against helping the struggling lower-middle class. I think HN is still better, it was far worse anywhere else (Reddit).
YMMV but I think it all boils down to incentives, institutional maturity, and leadership. Here's what I look for:

1) What industry it is. A banking or security company typically has strong incentives toward building secure, stable systems.

2) Maturity. Experienced organizations may still have the impulse to hack things together, but at least have had a chance to internalize the value of security, testing, and realistic ship dates, and to hire sufficient staff to actually look after those things.

3) Who leads the organization. Nontechnical cofounders can be indispensable in their own way, but technical cofounders are more well equipped to appreciate why good software takes time and should be built robustly and securely, and balance other voices in the organization that may not have the benefit of that same background.

Business risk can come from a failure to innovate in some situations and a failure to provide stability in others. I've been at both extremes of this. It sounds like you're at one now. I prefer to be somewhere in the middle - pushing myself, learning, but not burning out.

Fortunately my current company fits this criteria. Anecdotally:

1) Tests are included in the scope of tickets

2) We have institutional memory of what happens when you build too quickly

3) Leadership is rich with experience in security and engineering

Good luck in your search!
Are you a fan of giving said rapists the incentive to murder too, making prosecuting them that much harder?
This idea is used in some "corporate security" tools. For example companies which use ZScaler install zscaler certificates on employees machines and use ZScaler servers as MitM kind of proxy which allows them to scan all traffic, including SSL/TLS.

The only part of this that is geared at eliminating bias is the anonymous queue comment at the very end. Additionally, while I'm a huge advocate for removing biases in hiring and recruiting, this approach hoists all of the actual work for doing it onto the candidate, having them submit what is ostensibly an essay explaining why they deserve this job. If you want to remove biases in your hiring, it should be done internally via training and understanding, not by relying on anonymization. Without that training, the "human" piece of bias being understood, your anonymous reviewers are still going to implicitly bias against ESL candidates, and those biases are going to appear anyway at the in-person stage of the process.

Funnily enough, half of the questions are biased towards a specific type of candidate, one who was passionate about maths, science, and technology by the time they were 16. Why are there so many questions about high school? The version of me in high school is so far removed from the adult version who would apply for this job that it might as well be an entirely different person.
As a bot developer (I prefer to say Python Developer who specializes in Automation and Data(!)), I don't think it is entirely accurate. For example - Instagram's mobile web interface literally relies on the screen aspect ratio. Instagram's unreliability isn't a security measure, this is just unreliability.

As a part time social media manager, I use an android emulator to use Instagram and Facebook. The hoops I have to jump through to post a video story smh.

On a tangent:

I hope people stop labelling bad design as preventive measures. The bad design that do act as preventive measures are almost always accidental. Like yesterday, I spent 2 hours trying to find the cookies when I logged into a site that had some data. Only to discover the entire log in measure was a dummy interface. They were sending the data anyway but had a hacky solution to check if a user have attempted logging in. They were sending the data under the hood but they showed it only when the user logged in. Now, tell me is this a security measure? They did waste my time so wouldn't this fulfill their security goals?

- Total Freedom by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Initially this came across as shallow truths masquerading as profundity, especially with his unwillingness/inability to explain himself during discussions. Finally I read enough that some things just 'clicked' into place and my perspectives shifted along with my outlook on life.

- Letters from the Desert by Carlo Carretto (first half).

I was brought up a protestant so was never really exposed to catholic thought in my formative years. When I finally started exploring the classics for myself I found them often overly wordy and mystical, so I moved on to more modern (relatively speaking) works like this and the Way of the Pilgrim too. The simplicity of the writing and the clarity of the thoughts in the first few chapters of Letters from the Desert hit me hard.

- The Quran

A wonderfully phrased book that captures its times very well. Ideally to be read alongside something like Islam: A Short History or Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet, both by Karen Armstrong, to provide the context.

As an aside the Qu'ran is available for free online in audio format both as interlinear English/Arabic but also as Arabic only, and as a non-speaker of Arabic I often find listening to it being chanted a very calming and uplifting experience despite having no clue what is being said.

- Getting Real by 37 Signals.

As a programmer/developer/engineer since the late 1980s this was a revelation, bringing a clarity to my own thoughts and feelings about much of the world of enterprise software development. Very obvious points in retrospect that nobody ever (including me) seemed to have realised during my entire career before then.

- Web Copy that Sells by Maria Veloso.

A strange choice, given that there is nothing 'profound' in here. What it is, though, is a very well written book on persuasion which finally got me to see that I'd spent years avoiding 'sales' as something that wasn't for me whereas in reality it's for everyone and we do it all the time.

- The Body by Charles Colson.

Colson was jailed for his part in the Nixon stuff, then became a Christian. It's an incredibly moving book which is not his autobiography but an analysis of what is going wrong with the church. The impact comes from the stories he relates at the start of the chapters (especially the opening ones about 9/11). Those tales gave me an understanding of the potential 'greatness' in people.
The US had close to full employment. Two thirds of the unemployed find a job within 6 months, they’re not really unemployed just between jobs. Of course there are spots of higher unemployment due structural reasons that need addressing, but at the macro scale their just not going to to make an even fractional change. Not the mass scale global transformation your talking about. China is running out of in tapped labour too.

Production is expanding elsewhere in SE Asia but those countries are much smaller and taking time and a lot of capital to ramp up.

Where are all these new workers going to come from, and if they could work productively already why aren’t they?

None of this makes a lick of sense.
> Wouldn't it be nice if protocol documentation was mandatory?

Totally agree. This should be law.
The RTX series has lower power variants. When you compare against the 3090 you are establishing a context with power consumption as a low priority.

Considering the 3090 had over double the performance, the lower power parts may well be both faster and more power efficient. You'd have to do the comparison to know, if that's what you care more about.
Being required to film from 9 feet away instead of 4 feet away doesn't sound like it is going to be sacrificing transparency.

> At this point, this kind of puts me off from buying any kind of hardware tech from a startup that might not be around for a few years, since it might just turn up to be another tech paperweight.

Same. The vast majority of peripherals meant to be used with mobile phones I just wont buy at this point, because they’re almost all like this.

At least I know I’ll be able to use my Pebble or PineTime indefinitely; the former because it’s been reverse-engineered, and the latter because it’s open from the start. As appealing as the newer Fitbits are, I can’t say the same for them.

Yeah - I’d love to see this, just like we’ve seen a push for repair documentation with recent right to repair legislation.
If they offer me a trial, I am going to take it. If I'm not going to use said trial, I will cancel it.

It is not "abuse" to use the offer as stated. If they keep offering it, then that's on them.

And regardless of my use, they are not "well within their ethical rights" to outright lie to their customers in an attempt to convince them to stay.

And you think that you can't "mod" some proprietary application? The only exception is locked down devices so not only FOSS would be affected but also non locked-down and DRM devices, if UK or Australia will demand only DRM devices to exist so all laws are followed then we are fucked anyway.

This is mostly true, but it's usually better/easier to use the semantic element for any particular use case. In this case, for example, to correctly mimic how the <a> tag works, you'll need to handle both click events and keyboard events (e.g. space for clicking), and even then you'll struggle to handle right-clicks, ctrl-clicks or middle clicks in a way that is truly cross-platform.

The <a> tag, on the other hand, just does all that for you.
The rather-name-just-search approach seems less hassle but lack of version control may be an issue. Perhaps automatic checkpoints could be made on large changes or when leaving the page.

The reason is that the author of the original blog post failed PG's point themselves. The main criticism is the form of the blog post. Even if everything in it was true, the laptop was actually, objectively terrible, the onboarding was objectively useless, etc. The way all of this was presented is just an immature rant. That's not how one should treat people. Whenever somebody is this arrogant, it puts me on red alert.

In PG's post, he ends with:

> If you study conversations, you find there is a lot more meanness down in DH1 than up in DH6. You don't have to be mean when you have a real point to make. In fact, you don't want to. If you have something real to say, being mean just gets in the way.

There was a lot of meanness in that original blog post. A lot of it is in the lowest of the DH levels. If they had something real to say, that's pretty sad, because the meanness got in the way. Literally, because it spawned this whole thread. People take you less seriously if you express yourself like this, and that's what this thread here is about.

What measure are you using for "slightly above average" that also equals "unproven dangerous"? If the above average technology is dangerous, surely the average driver is even more dangerous. Otherwise it's not really above average, no? I.e., how can you make fewer errors and be a measurably better driver but still be worse than the thing that you're measurably better than?

Either you're making this argument in bad faith because you just don't like self driving cars, or you don't believe in statistics as a concept.
This is great when it works, but I'm personally not convinced that it works for every change. Some things are genuinely just big changes, and doing them piecemeal is (IMO) actually impractical. Granted, this is more likely to be true with refactoring then features or bugfixes.

All of which is not to say that it's not a preferred style when it does work. And as a policy choice it is perfectly reasonable to simply decree that the codebase will never be refactored at that scale.
Uh oh looks like they let a finance person run amok.

In the grand scale of things, we're pretty small. We milk just under 100 dairy goats, and have about 150 goats total on the farm (the other goats being a couple of breeding bucks, and some kids of various ages that will be milked in future years.)

I'm somewhat smaller than I was two years ago - we scaled back a bit in 2020, as the pandemic seriously killed cash flow for a couple months.

We produce our own sheeps milk too, but on a much smaller scale. We also pick up cows milk from a neighbouring farm. I'm expecting this year to process around 100,000 liters of milk, producing around 10-12 tons of cheese.

Oh! I forgot all about Cathode but I used to love it, especially during the peak skeuomorphic Mac OS X era (tho I think it was then called OS X but I can’t remember what year Cathode was released, just that it worked on Lion).

To complement this I recommend Five Stages of Fascism by Robert Paxton. He takes a temporal view of fascism rather than ideological, reasoning that unlike most other -isms, fascism does not have a body of works that define the ideology. On the contrary, fascist movements despise coherent philosophies.

So his focus is on development of fascist movements in time.
You don't own the communication as a network operator, unless you can also prove that you have control over the device.
IoT devices sometime rely on sending sensitive data to their backends. This data may include API keys, client authentication secrets and such. By having access to that communication, you may be able to spoof identity of the IoT device from a PC or a hacked-device. Not very desirable from IoT vendor point of view.
