I used Moleskine for several years. Each last a year apiece. Now the Miquelrius softbound: similar size, but 300 sheets for 600 pages.

Entries are numbered sequentially. Some are a single sentence, others are a code snippet; still others a paragraph.

"Log pages" go between chunks of consecutive pages. After getting full, these are taped at the edge with shipping tape, to flip to them more easily. The log page gets its own number and a luxurious two pages.

As entries are added, I flip back to the nearest log page and add <number> plus a single title sentence.

I rarely title entries themselves.

As pages start to separate from the binding, duct tape keeps them stuck to the cover.

There's so many pages; you can try all kinds of customization. I've been trying to combine Zettelkasten with GTD, but just going crazy with "how to start" versus "just do the thing."

Sharpies bleed through. Pages are graph style as blue squares, but I'm used to it.

My fidget tool is flipping through with my thumb--but only the older pages. Keep the new pages pristine, because skin oil will mess with the ink!

I aim to use a wax sheet, like what stickers use, on the proceeding page where my hand would rest, to mitigate the issue.

In all, I've reached the limit of notebooks, and from here it's automating awk or something, and really making a computer archive of this stuff.

I always promise myself to keep a good index, but I never go back to the notes. Maybe occasional entries, which will be rewritten into a new notebook--but I'm glad to have written something for my future, sentimental self.

A slip box is still possible--but instead of references to other works, they are your longer-form notes in the notebook. Then it's third-order storage, in a sense. A compromise to needing more space than an index card, but the desire for discoverable brevity.
"But going on record ridiculing them, saying bad things about them, mocking their height, that's not okay, and it's true that if it was done about their race it would be frowned upon, but seems to be acceptable for height."

I fully agree, and you can extend that to men being bald, and many other bodily aspects. I think in particular contexts it's fine to make the occasional joke but that's entirely different from making it a widespread thing.
To what extent does the FIA have a monopoly?

If I were to launch a single seater electric car tournament tomorrow and provide cars for a bunch of racers, surely I have myself an event? Is being FIA-backed just nice to have, or a prerequisite, or?

> No, there was basically no empirical input into the development of special relativity either

There is a myth of Einstein that just isn't credible, which is that Einstein, while working as a patent clerk just came up with Special Relativity out of the blue without anyone's input, without the benefit of history.

But Special Relativity was in the air. Henri Poincare was already writing about relativity, and so were others in years previous to Einstien's publication. If Einstein hadn't published when he did, someone else would have within a few years at best.

Einstein was amazing, also, just a man, but definitely was not the myth taught to us in elementary school, like Abe Lincoln carrying an ax, these are childish and frankly false ideas. Einstein stood on the shoulders of giants, and there was massive amounts of empirical evidence for Special Relativity going back thousands of years, really, billions.[1]

Great roundup. AI are great at technical optimization problems (for example, reducing the usage of electricity in a data center). For creative and subjective works, it seems like a machine-human hybrid model will be the way to go for the next decade. The AI spits out some rough drafts, then the human artist picks it up from there. All of these last-mile problems would be trivial for an artist to touch up.

This seems like such an extreme option just to add a few inches to your height. A more sensible approach might be to modify footwear design similar to platform shoes, but in a more subtle fashion. I imagine something like a thick sneaker sole where the shoe material meets the sole halfway down, so it still looks proportional to normal shoes.

DAEMON (day'mun, dee'mun) [archaic form of "demon", which has slightly different connotations (q.v.)] n. A program which is not invoked explicitly, but which lays dormant waiting for some condition(s) to occur. The idea is that the perpetrator of the condition need not be aware that a daemon is lurking (though often a program will commit an action only because it knows that it will implicitly invoke a daemon). For example, writing a file on the lpt spooler's directory will invoke the spooling daemon, which prints the file. The advantage is that programs which want (in this example) files printed need not compete for access to the lpt. They simply enter their implicit requests and let the daemon decide what to do with them. Daemons are usually spawned automatically by the system, and may either live forever or be regenerated at intervals. Usage: DAEMON and DEMON (q.v.) are often used interchangeably, but seem to have distinct connotations. DAEMON was introduced to computing by CTSS people (who pronounced it dee'mon) and used it to refer to what is now called a DRAGON or PHANTOM (q.v.). The meaning and pronunciation have drifted, and we think this glossary reflects current usage.

The documentation says

> Package atomic provides low-level atomic memory primitives useful for implementing synchronization algorithms.

> These functions require great care to be used correctly. Except for special, low-level applications, synchronization is better done with channels or the facilities of the sync package. Share memory by communicating; don't communicate by sharing memory.

There was a long mailing list discussion discussing use cases and certain desired behaviours that the people on the list agreed upon. In the end they chose not to make those behaviours explicit and leave it somewhat open-ended and instead put in the phrase "great care" to cover it off, rather than define it.
It just NEEDS to. You have a feeling about it!
The way I was taught in college was to:

a) take lecture notes in class

b) as soon as possible after the class, refine those lecture notes by combining it with references from the textbook and other readings or handouts.

c) visit your instructor during office hours to clear up things you weren't able to during (b)

Unfortunately the advice didn't come with any time management tips so I was almost never able to follow it. The worst of it was revisiting my unrefined notes 3-4 days after I took them. They often seemed to read like gibberish, especially if I had not been studying the reading material in the meantime.

For Dustin, since you're following the thread:

The area you're covering is closely related to an active area of development within the JS frontend framework community. They consider it hydration perf work and the working terminology is partial hydration or resumption/resuming rendering (there's a couple approaches/tradeoffs). In particular, the Marko team has a system under development that works this way without explicitly defined client/server pieces. They're mostly solving it on the server and streaming the HTML down since they have a priority on page load perf but the models look very close to me. I don't have a definitive piece to link as an intro and the concepts haven't made their way into the broader JS community but I thought you might be interested.

> You've also probably met hundreds of women who have done some form of plastic surgery, you just haven't noticed because it's tastefully done

The grandparent poster clearly said "fake boobs, duck lips, botox, fake bums, fake tans, an inch of makeup", so they're clearly not talking about women who did any sort of "tasteful" (to use your word) surgery, natural tanning or regular makeup.
I'd say it's not exclusive to any industry, there's a push for all industries to have highly elastic labor forces to adjust labor costs with even slight variances in demand. Many of the labor shortages we see are a result of industries adopting business models that want high labor elasticity.

Hey you're probably right. I'm regretting what I wrote after rereading it. I'm just trying to find stepping stones to get from our sense of everyday reality to a mental model of what happens when a black hole forms. Like doing discovery on a big software project that someone else wrote. But it's all speculation and hearsay that has little to do with actual cosmology, because I'm a programmer not a physicist. This fringe stuff would have a better place in a book or sci fi. Too much streaming and social media, not enough study. Sorry if my words mislead anyone.
> However USPS and Amtrek NEED to be run more like a business. The fact they have not been for decades is part of the problem with the services.

Idk, I think that a USPS run like a business would either just decide not to operate in the less population dense parts of the US or charge them exorbitant rates for service. Even as someone who lives in a dense urban area, I think it's generally a good idea to have guaranteed mail service to anyone in the country even if that means that I'll essentially be subsidizing the cost of delivering mail to rural areas. I have trouble believing that USPS could be profitable, affordable to everyone, and available to everyone, and I'm much more willing to sacrifice the first one than either of the other two.
The lower power consumption claim seems to be against ordinary (backlit) LCD monitors, not e-ink. It's kind of surprising that their tech specs section doesn't actually list typical power consumption given that claim. Their technology page claims "Sun Vision Display's reflective LCDs consume less than 6 watts..." and also later "Sun Vision Display’s 32” reflective color LCD panel uses less than 5 watts of energy." (not a typo; the two numbers are different).

Still, if that's true, 5-6W is much better than the equivalent sized Samsung Frame TVs in art mode.
Yeah, I have no illusions that Go will walk that back, especially considering its compatibility promise. It's a thorn in the side, but people also exaggerate it dramatically while overlooking major issues in other languages.
A programming language without the concept of NULL can be created in a way such that it is impossible for the program to crash. Elm is such an example of this.

Null solves the problem of missing values, but introduces the problem of undefined behavior. What happens to when you try to divide an integer with NULL? Often times the program just chooses to crash.

To be fair though the problem isn't null itself. It's the failure of null to be incorporated into the type system. Instead null is used as a value to bypass the type system and silently propagate through your program and finally cause an error when you try to do an operation on it.

> But women do prefer as tall a man as they can get

That doesn't seem to be what the study says:

> women are most satisfied when their partner was 21 cm taller

Same as with breasts there's a drop off at some point, it's just that in the case of height it's relative. And from personal experience, I have been rejected repeatedly for being too tall, as in the difference between myself and the prospective partner was deemed too high (~30cm or more). Beyond a point that height difference just highlights the shortness of the woman and women already have it harder when it comes to expectation of looks.

I think it's reasonably obvious by now that women historically had (and still do) a far higher pressure put on them when it comes to looks in general, just not very focused on height. This is how as a society we ended up having women wearing makeup almost as standard, dying or removing their hair, wearing pushup bras, or high heels (less related to height but rather relative position of the pelvis). And that's before the more invasive procedures like breast implants, botox, face lifts, or other surgeries.

Confidence gets you past any initial filter (not to be confused with arrogance or assertiveness — be respectful).

Once you get serious, it’s the bigger filters you need to worry about IME.

My then new girlfriend’s friend asked me out of nowhere: “what’s a derivative?” And my answer was “investing or calculus?” Apparently that was a filter for my wife when she dated. She wanted smart men who weren’t just faking it, wouldn’t just start talking about things because they knew something about it, etc. Her and her friend had that simple question. I was basically the first guy to pass it. Hell, I even had some basic filters, like going on a road trip together. Eventually, got married, made babies, and travel around the world. I got lucky — met her semi-randomly on the beach through mutual friends. Neither one of us were looking for a relationship at the time.

I'm a bit over 5'8". I always suspected that online dating was a bit more challenging because of my height. But when I looked at the numbers, I was doing fine at getting dates. The problem was actually that I wasn't confident enough on dates and didn't really know what I wanted, so the dates rarely went anywhere.

I did a lot of personal development work over a period of 10+ years. At some point, dating got a lot easier. I went from being single most of the time to usually in a relationship. I got married at 41, which was a bit late, but we all move at our own pace.

My little sister is married to a guy who is maybe 5'5" (and I think that's generous). She is 5', and is nearly as tall as him in heels. He's nice and treats her well. She dated a bunch of guys over 6', and likes him the best by far.

This is not to say that tall guys don't have an advantage. I'm sure they do. But fortunately there are a lot of things other than height that also make a difference.
Type-inference is a zero-cost 'abstraction' and any place you choose can make explicit narrowing of them. The libraries I needed to make a web application didn't have any mind-bending patterns, but rather did the most obvious things with the basic language features.

> Everything we are judged on - appearance, intelligence, earning potential - is a random dice roll of DNA that none of us control.

This is not true, so you don’t have to worry about any conclusions you came to because of it. “Heritable traits” does not mean “genetic traits” and there are quite a lot of things that happen you after you stop being a zygote.
You're right, but my point is that by slightly relaxing the physical criteria, you get a wider selection of personalities.

For example, it's ridiculous to ask for an exact height. Height is a spectrum. By demanding 6" or taller, you can't seriously justify how somebody that is 5"9 is an absolute deal breaker.

Similarly, if you're not attracted to fat people, you could still consider somebody a little overweight. Weight is not a static quality.

You may be attracted to brunettes, but I would opt to see that as a preference, not a hard requirement.

My point is that "attractive enough" is a better strategy as all of these things are ultimately unimportant if the personality doesn't match.

It's a nothing burger. First it's only old Apps that haven't been downloaded in years. Second, developers can show that the app runs well under current iOS and it's the end of the issue. Third they can apply for an extension in order to update the app.
Doesn't that require repeated resigning/reinstalling to keep the apps installed? I've heard some iOS users complain about the stupid workarounds they need to do to install apps from unofficial sources and I'm pretty sure there's more to it than just installing the app from your computer.

They're easy to implement; terribly difficult to reason about from a correctness point of view, which is really all that matters in performant multithreaded code.

Given that it can take weeks to debug a deadlock, I am more than happy to pay the price of some boilerplate and difficult types if that helps correctness.
So does Haskell and Rust.

It's called exhaustive pattern matching on sum types with the Maybe monad (or Optional). I believe Haskell popularized this syntax and Rust and Swift borrowed it from Haskell. Strictly speaking though, haskell pattern matching isn't exhaustive but the compiler will give you a warning if your code doesn't handle every case.

Elm is another language that exploits this feature to a scale where unless you use the FFI, elm programs cannot logically ever crash.

This is not a difficult concept, but many libertarians and conservatives seem to have trouble with it. And that includes many techbros too.
The weight and size of the batteries described pretty much means that only one, maybe two, batteries could be transported on a truck from the factory where the excess heat is being produced to the house where the battery will be used temporarily. That battery then needs to be collected and transported all the way back to the factory for 'reheating'.

That's not a cheap process. One battery: four factory-house trips involved. ( = 2 return trips from the factory to a house for a largish haulage truck)

That's why I said that it probably would not be cost-effective for use in a domestic situation.

On the other hand, the industrial use of these batteries would be efficient and cheap. The only transport required would be short-distance, in-house, and could be further cheapened by the use of rails and being pulled by electric haulers round and round the factory.
I think Walmart was advertising long distance trucker jobs around $95k+ and that wasn't owner operator setups to my understanding[1]. How much of these figures are unrealistic or have hidden agendas, I don't know.
