Obsidian being _just_ a UI on top of Markdown files is one of it's selling points.
I guess my complaint is that it doesn’t work with object oriented programming. It’s the same reason why I don’t like checked exceptions, checked nulls, or Result types.
I've written pretty much your same comment a few times on HN in the past.

The web browser could be a provider of rich personal context. Firefox is probably in the best position to take advantage of this. But they, too, are dependent on Google (>80% of revenue is Google). Apple doesn't care enough about search or the web to pursue this. Which leaves... open source? Some fringe startup? I'm not hopeful anyone will tackle this problem soon.

We've known bookmarks are not the solution for over two decades now.

> The second biggest search opportunity surely is corporate emails.

This has largely been solved in a roundabout way by Slack. They didn't solve email or search. They just made email completely irrelevant at orgs that use Slack and their search interface, while not perfect, does an okay job. They only succeeded because email is so bad in contrast.
Now that you mention it, it does remind me of the city scanner too haha

Well if you do go for it or want to make any tweaks to it I've now uploaded the svg source too: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FIICC0ySnwzBB5NdWcDX3uXDdwO...

I hope you find something that fits :)
Why are you using a paper straw in the first place? If it's so it vanishes if you litter it - a wax covered straw is not going to do that.

It will eventually biodegrade, but it's going to take a long time.

If you are worried about straws getting stuck in animals, a wax covered one will also get stuck.

The entire straw ban is the height of stupidity. Just start a "don't litter, throw it away" campaign and you'll solve 95% of the problem, without creating new ones.
> Except that anyone with a minimal involvement with Ethereum already knows that the base layer is not meant to be used on day-to-day operations.

Despite all those contraptions existing for years, BAYC still chose the Ethereum L1 since that has the most liquidity there and all the millionaires will certainly congest and grind the network to a halt just like they did with the CryptoKitties hype years ago. Here we are, this is no different.

Anything 'on-chain' is the whole point of Ethereum. These contraptions that you are showing are all off-chain, once again defeating the point of using the Ethereum blockchain for on-chain activities in the first place. Not only it has been admitted that Ethereum cannot scale properly and is useless for anything on-chain it needs an entire ecosystem of insecure, fragmented and beyond complicated layer 2 contraptions to 'speed it up'.

These tools also have a tendency to go down or halt, hinting that they are not as 'decentralized' as they say they are either.
Dive deeper. A huge amount of programmers bounce out, throw up their hands when something isnt working as expected. Go look at the souce of the libraries you are using. Learn tools like strace or dtrace. For god sake get good at your debugger.

In programming, everything is about mindfulness, perspective, awareness. The willingness & ability to go deeper, to dig for truth is the ultimate superpower. The docs dont help, your mentors dont help: Seymore Papert was correct. You have to mine your own truth, develop your own internal models for what is going on, how things are happening, and you need endless boundless ability to dive further in, to chase real genuine truth yourself. The ability to develop your own mental model of how you think things work, and your ability to probe & validate & make inquisitions into each little step: that scientific minded exploration makes all the magic happen.

Also, get good at promises & async. How things happen over time has gotten more complex in modernity. You need to understand & be able to internalize/visualize the timeline of execution, in a way we didnt used to demand.of programmers. Learn the tools, think about causality.
Still trying to figure out how to get good at programming.
When sharing/saving links to Obsidian, can it automatically add the title of the linked page (and date)?

It just saves the URL for me.
The Irish deploy the work "feck" in nearlly the same way as the English word "fuck" but it isn't considered rude. I should probably know the full etymology of both words but can only comment on the Eng.Ang/Sax version which is basically: fuck. WP etc seem to waffle about wind fuckers/fokkers etc but fundamentally, I think the word means exactly what it means - that is how words work!

Feck is a bit more intriguing. I think feck really means the same as fuck but it is the Irish sticking it to the English and turning a rude word into a simple expletive that Mummy can use. If so - good job. I would love to hear some thoughts about this from someone from the Isle.
I agree, this blog post is too long for what he was actually trying to say, he could of gotten his point through in a few paragraphs rather than an entire page, I'm surprised that I had the patience to read all of it today.

wow double misunderstanding. OpenSea reads the blockchain for all NFTs. You have to explicitly delist for it not to show.

and then back with the wash trading assumption. it only takes you trying to buy or sell a popular NFT once for you to know that you didn't trade it between your own address, even if those that would yell "source thats its not wash trading!?" won't believe you
I’ve never participated in the “Who wants to be hired” posts but I have found two jobs in the “Who’s hiring” posts, one of them being my current job.
I just feel like they're not incompatible. I think we can help these people who get screwed without assigning the costs to unknowing, unrelated passers-by.
Because most of them down the line will shell their ponzi assets to other unsuspecting general public in lure of ludicrous returns.
i would be glad to do if given proper access, but had into very limited indirect access.
I think you have to strike a balance. In reality no one's knowledge came entirely from their own work and asking the right questions. Documentation is just one developer telling another how things work. Should we erase all docs?

You must sometimes give the answer.
not since EIP-1155, no.

That's very kind of you to say.
BAYC is moving off ETH?
Hm, why do you say that?
> Wtf happened with the chemical industry in general?

Don't look now, but the same thing that happened to quite literally every single important industry critical to human survival. It's all incredibly centralized and fragile, to a degree I don't think many even begin to realize.

> Why don't we have more, spread around the world, and capable of slight over-production just in case?

Money.

> or we're all just "green" and "bio" and stuff now, willing to let poorer people just suffer hunger?

Nope, just money. Would have been far "greener" and "bio" and stuff if we had actually invested in such infrastructure, even if more expensive.

This ironically enables the current historically cheap food situation we're currently in. In no time in human history has less labor or wealth per capita been put into food production.

> While we're it, I still can't wrap my head of the stupidity of all those charities that work to "solve hunger" in Africa and places but can't ever bother to help them pool investment

This is definitely one of my pet peeve rants as well. I've always said these organizations are likely to cause more death and human suffering than anything that has come before it. As soon as the ships of grain stop sailing whenever a moderate disruption finally happens (60-70 years of peace is really just a minor blip on the radar), people very rapidly will starve with little local recourse or knowledge to fall back on.

Teach a man to fish and all that.
The cryptocurrencies themselves aren't scams. BTC and ETH are here to stay and there are other good coins like XMR.

It's the shitcoin casino that's bad. All people have to do is avoid it.
I just finished a trip to the Buttermilks, a climbing area on the eastern slopes of the Sierras. I was surprised to discover that the land is owned by the city of Los Angeles, so they can protect their freshwater source that is pumped and piped over the mountains to LA.

"its too crowded so nobody goes there"

yes, if you want to launch a premium product right now, you launch it on the chain people will pay to go to

you can play with the "poors" on Polygon and BSC. The lower barrier of entry makes it even more cluttered with ignorable projects. (Solana is cheap too but is attracting large premium projects and communities as well)
Big thank you from me -- so good to see someone pushing back hard against the async insanity.
A lot of technical people think to themselves "if I master this tool, something wonderful will happen," when in reality you usually have to figure out the wonderful thing you want to happen, not just trust a tool to manifest it for you.
I think we can too.

I just don't trust....90% of the people, platforms and providers who claim that's what they're doing via crypto.
If you've used them before - how do the sippy cups tend to work for you? I've always been curious how they are for folks with sensitive teeth.
Yes we have hired 3 people from our posts on Who is Hiring, and it’s been great.

Only downside is the companies that write in even though we are looking for individuals. Creates a lot of noise.

Seems like someone should go update the wikipedia article then

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_stake

> In 2021 a study by the University of London found that in general the energy consumption of the Proof-of Work based Bitcoin was about 1,000 times higher than that of the highest consuming proof of stake system that was studied

1,000x is not 10,000x

> They also couldn't find the energy consumption of a proof of stake system on a large scale as such a system does not exist at the time of the report.[16][17]

Big systems have big side effects. As others have said, I'll believe it when I see it.
Came to say basically this.

Whenever something doesn't work the way you believe it should have, whenever you see something that does not make sense, that is your understanding at odds with reality. Something doesn't work the way you think it does! Every time you don't get to the bottom of why it doesn't work the way you think it should work you are continuing to be a little worse than you might have been.

Accumulating moments like this over time adds up to the difference between being a great programmer and being complete crap. It's the difference between someone who overhears two people talking about a problem and says "Did you check that the locale is not set to iso8859?" and blows their minds that you could debug the problem they have spent 2 days working on in 5 seconds and the person who tells people "oh, yea, sometimes our app just crashes, it's something about text encoding but if you just open the file and save it as utf8 then you can manually fix the broken characters after you import it".
It only was a sudden drop in share prices, which quickly rebounded. The amount of money that actually changed hands due to that mistake will be tiny in comparison.

Grindr's UI is second-to-none, in my opinion.

At least the last time I checked it out, which was the day before I interviewed there. Were I working there, and found this out, I would no longer be working there.
Great idea! I see this is implemented using the Python language interface supported by PostgreSQL and importing sklearn models. I always wonder how scalable this is considering the serialization-deserialization overhead between Postgres' core and Python. Do you see any significant performance difference between this and training the sklearn models directly on something like Dataframes?
Honestly, I refuse to watch any review-type video without chapters so I can jump to what I'm interested in. If you're going to stop giving me written articles, then at least give me the same damn functionality and ease of use.

I think GP's example of the Apple store line matches a lot better. The high fees on Ethereum were for 2 or 3 hours, similar to Apple's line when they sell a new phone. If you don't absolutely need to run a transaction during that time period, you just.. wait.

For example - I was looking to move some USDC, but I saw the fees, and just came back a few hours later and submitted it with no problems.
But the priors are stacked against OP. Someone gained tweet access to OP's twitter account and... replied in a mildly profane manner to some random tweet? With zero indication of foul play other than "I didn't do it"?

My very best guess that does not involve "OP has their facts wrong" is "someone at Twitter impersonated them, either intentionally or by accident". Still, what's the point?

From the outside, despite (or rather because of) the status/reputation they have, I'd put my money on "trick of the mind" or some medical problem. The CO poisoning suggestion is honestly higher on my list than "rogue Twitter employee trying to scare OP".
Worth noting, the increase in desiccation practices, to prepare crops for a more scheduled harvest is also leading to a huge increase in glyphosate usage. It’s used high concentrations on crops at the last stage of crop growth just prior to harvest, in expectation of dry conditions which are ideal for harvesting, among other benefits.

Beauty is not always about function and text is not always about content. Design and style can communicate a certain vibe or appeal to a certain social group, which might be more important than raw information.
Yea I guess we couldn't tell if somebody gave us a number that was special to them but appeared random. Afterall, the alien's physical constant (or rather, the arbitrary definitions of their units) would have effectively been chosen by a random number generator just like ours are.

If you pick a random sequence from a random source, then it's truly random by definition, isn't it? Even if it happens to be 1111111. It might score badly on a randomness measure but no randomness measure is truly perfect.
> the RL training

Is RL necessary in this context or would other, simpler methods work as well to within statistical error? RL can be a heck of a random number generator if misapplied.
For some reason

using a bash script to munge a few files together then a cron job running to rsync them to an Apache server running on a VPS

is considered morally and technically superior to

using a JavaScript tool to build a site then having a GitHub Action push the files up to an S3 bucket with a cloudfront distribution in front of it.

There’s no obvious reason for this, other than a belief that if something can be done with 50 year old technology, it should be.
have you heard about logseq? It seems to me that it is what you are looking for
Mostly the former. But as others said, especially with more junior people, their problems with their assigned tickets, coupled with insecurity and anxiety from some kind of impostor syndrome leads to it also being an exercise in reminding them that they’re new and still learning things.
Obligatory reminder of the lady who tripped and died by impaling her eyeball on her metal straw.
Implying low quality art-wise, probably. Borrowed from videogames industry, where Elden Ring reviews outperformed No Man's Sky, but not only because the latter had 2^64 different planets, one for each seed value, while the former had the world pretty much handcrafted. In fact there are good games with procedural generation, too.
The best system for PKM is called sub-consciousness. When one learns to facilitate it right and all there is is at a thoughts distance. Writing stuff down is a way to reinforce the subconscious stress of memory, also sleeping well, walking and taking time to be with oneself.
Sure. No contradiction.
Custom proprietary models are on the TODO list. There are open questions about the mechanism to distribute the model params and code, which will lead to additional complexity, but I think it's something we'll eventually need to support.

In the opposite direction of bespoke fully custom models being the norm, I'd like to build more "rails" for ML. Hopefully we can expose enough hyperparams, even for deep learning architectures, and automatically adapt the inputs with configurable transformers so that we cover 90% of the custom use cases out of the box.
That's becoming pretty normal in my experience. A lot of places ask first if I want a receipt. And they're not just printing them anyway and keeping them or throwing them away, they just tell the POS system not to print it at all.

IMO the best reason to avoid receipts when you don't need them is because thermal paper is really nasty stuff.
Wow, I just started a new position at a tech company in the NYC financial sector, and this was part of today’s training!
In order of impact:

1. Programming. Lots and lots and lots and lots of programming.

2. Having my code reviewed by people with strong opinions, some of which I agreed with and some I didn't.

3. Reading, and practising what I read (number 1 above).

A place I worked years ago was a manufacturer of industrial lifting cranes. They had a problem one particularly hot summer of the diesels in the cranes starting up in their own.

These were massive engines. The block was bigger than my whole car. Terrifying watching one of them run away. They tended towards "violent, unscheduled disassembly" if they couldn't be shut down.
This rant ignores the fact that our technology has failed to provide the average user with a common, ubiquitous, low-effort way to recall all the useful information that we can now dig up.

These billion dollar tech cos either think that I'll just be able to search google again when I really need it (what a joke!) or that I'll spend more time using tags to be able to find it again, but that requires a list of tags way to long to be easily fluent with and way too much librarian work on my part.

I have endless lists of bookmarks organized into ~50 categories that are still too broad to be useful (mostly because folder in folder bookmarks are a bad UX in Firefox).

I started using Notion because I like to see URL previews, but that list gets unwieldy fast and it is more of a pain to populate than saving a bookmark.

And now, I am down to a system where I keep 10 browser windows open with up to 40 tabs in each and if a tab gets too stale, I dump it in a bookmark folder and hope I'll find it when I need it. Each window is given a name based on its topic with the Window Titler add-on and uses non-treed ('cause trees are a stupid waste of space) side tabs ('cause top tabs are unreadable and STUPID) with the Sidebery Add-On. Each window with up to 16 pinned tabs that are major sources for that window's topical links. This system actually works for me and requires a low-effort flow to manage information for someone with a huge variety of work, interests and pursuits. I have to use the Total Suspender Add-On to keep Firefox from grinding my machine to a halt due to up to 400 tabs open at once.

What I really want is a browser that has all that out of the box so that it works seamlessly (e.g. Sidebery doesn't recognize Window Titler titles so moving tabs between windows is a huge pain), isn't a pain to setup on a new machine (I hate Mozilla for making it so hard to get rid of the top tabs!!!) and doesn't require me to trust several nearly anonymous Add-On makers.
Admittedly not my greatest comment, and my point was lost in the shuffle. But since we're shifting the goalposts now and comparing activities to commodities, let's say the only meat I choose to eat is sourced by hunting wild game. Let's say I did the hunting myself with my own bow.

Will you at least acknowledge the value of meat as a basic form of sustenance?

Are you saying that trading crypto as a hobby (or crypto itself) is equivalent somehow?
The Negative Link Between Extraversion and Perceived Listening
> And that is in itself a dangerous moral and ethical lapse.

Agreed. Is it an original lapse, or derivative though? When researchers/engineers oversell their story to get the funding they wouldn't otherwise get, where is the collapse? With the engineers/researchers? Or with the forces that built a system where that was the only way forward for them?

When a hungry thief steals to eat, is the thief morally bankrupt? Or is those that engineered the shortage?
Aren't both things true from an environmentalists perspective?

1) We need to "transition[] to healthier and cleaner source of energy"
2) We need to use less energy overall

We do not produce enough clean energy to meet the total demand for energy. Until that is true, using less energy is a valid path to reducing the total impact of climate change.
"... aren't providing the source or repair and modification information that the
project's license requires ..."

I wasn't aware that open source requires you to provide "repair and modification information". I thought it just requires you to make source-code modified by you publicly available. Can anyone elaborate on what the "repair information" in particular refers to?
