I really wish TW finally got around to implementing the ideas to improve recurrences here:

https://taskwarrior.org/docs/design/recurrence.html

Basic things like "do a thing on the first Monday of every month" just aren't possible, and other kinds of recurring tasks (e.g. do something weekly) work strangely.

These limitations rule it out for a lot of my day to day use cases, which is a shame because otherwise there's a lot to like.
I disagree with the premise. I havent seem much net change in popularity. It's still widely lambasted even by it's adherents as deeply woefully lacking in middle-ground documentation especially- there's docs for absolute newbies, there's og posts discussing super advanced juju, but hardly anything inbetween. There's few guides helping explaim the wild nixscripts one come to face.
YouTube for me. It was ad-free in the beginning but it never would have survived that way for long. The current ad experience is palatable at least. And clients work well in all browsers/iPhone/Android/embedded.
That kind of stuff works fine in X.

It just doesn't work properly in Xwayland or native Wayland
The distribution utility infrastructure in the US will need to double its capacity in order to service just a 40% EV penetration rate. That will increase electricity costs substantially. Perhaps the transition has not been very well thought out.
Is it really an exploit if "code is law"
Actually a mixed economy provides people with what they like, with about 40% organised by the state.

Free expression has always had limits, particularly regarding 'spreading lies about others' and 'inciting bad stuff'.
Can you explain how this issuance of new shares works? Once someone has the power to do that (and I assume assign them to whomever they please), why wouldn't they? Doesn't such power fly in the face of a share representing ownership, if that ownership can be unilaterally diminished?
I keep seeing parallels with razors and razor-blades.

As well as with heroin and the heroin-dealers: "The first hit is always free."

Once you have that electric car, you have no choice but to use electricity, no matter what the current rate for it happens to be. (Ditto for petrol and diesel, of course.)
It’s the very first example in the article.
The fundamental reason why sales people are paid more than the Devs and the CEO more than Sales simply comes out of the difference in the knowledge of how much they know of the product's worth. The Dev never knows that the product would fetch 2000x of how much he is getting paid for creating it, whereas the Sales guy has a better picture. That's why the Dev never asks for that money in return for creating that product and hence he never gets paid that much. The CEO on the other hand, has the complete picture of the cost, profits as well as any changes in market forces that might impact the product, hence taking out 200x the Dev's remuneration, still sparing for the handouts to the other guys.
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

A few more if you'd indulge me.

1) Do you have any conclusions or Bayesian probabilities on the notion that there was a relatively advanced ancient civilization in our past that has for whatever reason been suppressed/lost knowledge? Variations of this would be biblical stories of catastrophe actually being WMD's supported by various cultures like the Vedas.

2) Any opinion on Atlantis, Mu, Graham Hancock or something along the lines of _unsure but deeply mysterious and deserves more attention?"

3) What ancient culture fascinates you the most at the moment?

I am currently quite involved with learning about ancient cultures and my tone is obviously of the more fringe type, but it's mostly because from my absorption of the materials there is a lot of similarity and connection that stirs conclusions counter-factual to the "mainstream narrative." I mostly just am curious and keep an open mind. Currently I'm studying a lot on the Thracians - to me it feels like the proto-indian-european culture that is pre tower of babel and got associated with vikings/mongolians and seem to be related to abrahamiac religions by being proxy to one of the tribes that eventually got to Ireland and is also Gaulish/Celtic/Irish/Scottish by that degree. Which oddly I found some others coming to the same conclusion but that's pretty fringe. I guess it's fringe because it directly interferes with a lot of "religious calendars" - it does seem that archaeology is gated by dogmatism and if I recall the religious institutions have been quite involved (Jesuits/etc). I'm not reaching into conspiracy, just naming groups and their incentives.

Megaliths are absolutely fascinating and the explanation given by and large seems "hand-wavy."

The mystery of the moundbuilder culture world-wide is also fascinating.

And most interestingly is the evidence of overwhelmingly stunning know-how of measuring the stars and various mathematics. We definitely have a programmed view of history being archaic or barbaric when it's quite likely they were advanced beyond our imagination. The Babylonian tablets really are something. It's also interesting that our most ancient accounts of story begin with "in those ancient days..." (Gilgamesh).

Also stupidensously interesting is that many tombs of megaliths have evidence of extremely large quantities of mercury. Mesoamerica has this, the Qin dynasty tombs... very weird. Especially considering the electromagnetic properties of it.
Its a good time to try it. The tooling has come a long way and OCaml has an excellent build system [1] (dune is probably the best build tool I've used and I miss it whenever I use other programming languages), excellent editor tooling for vscode [2], emacs and neovim. OCaml 5.0 will bring multicore support [3] and an effect system that will cover a lot of interesting use-cases. As an example with OCaml 5 it'll be feasible to have concurrency libraries that still let you write in direct-style [4] [5]. I don't intend to say that OCaml will fit every use-case, but there is a lot going for it even in its current form before multicore support lands. If you want a language that compiles fast (it does compile really fast, at-part with Go if not better), has excellent performance characteristics, and has a good story for concurrency, you should give OCaml a chance!

This is a little bit of a tangent, but I've always thought that it was funny that orange juice is overwhelmingly sold in liquid form, not as frozen concentrate. You can buy concentrate here in the US, but it's much less common (and, IME, fewer and fewer grocery stores stock it.) Given that most liquid orange just is just reconstituted concentrate anyways, buying the liquid form means paying for the shipping and space cost of the water.
Electricity generation could be different and better in the future.
I’ve been a believer in move fast and break things for most of my life, but I’ve found as I have moved into larger roles, the fear of others of breaking things has led to stagnation. I’m still trying to find a better saying to assure people that failure isn’t the end, but only a beginning, and that there is always an appropriate time for failure.
Funny how all these studies completely ignore methane emissions from abandoned wells.
Can second the DynASM recommendation. I've used it -- was stupid easy to use. Gives your C code an in-line assembler that works at runtime to generate a function pointer.
> just so you know thymalin rejuvenate the thymus and increase lymphocite T naive cells production by up to 680% which totally fix immunodepression in the edlerdly and e.g. fix covid since day 1 (would have avoided 15 million deaths were people litterate) or reduce all cause mortality in humans by 410% when coadministarted with epitalon

So where is the catch? Why more people are not talking about it and money is not puring into that if that's such a game changer? If it's that kind of miracle cure why for example Gates foundation or any other foundations doesn't invest in it ?
None. It’s just the GP is somehow complaining that just because they didn’t see them they’re not useful.

I saw .call just a few hours ago because until recently it was the safe way to call hasOwnProperty[1].

One-to-many should be treated on a site-by-site basis. Hacker news is pretty heavily moderated, and that's fine for hacker news. 4chan is lightly moderated, depending on the board, and that's fine for 4chan. But back in the day, even 4chan decided to ban specific things beyond legal issues like CSAM or raids or people sharing personal information (all of which could also face legal penalties even if they were not publicly broadcast). They specifically banned My Little Pony content on /b/, just because it was annoying too many users. No clue if the ban is still present, but it's their business whether it is or not.

Sites shouldn't need to justify this to any central authority, the government does not need to be more involved in this process, and this law is stupid (and would likely lead to conflicts with another stupid set of laws, SESTA and FOSTA).
I think it's abnormal for executives to get compensation > entire company revenue. I'm sure it happens in other industries from time to time but it seems like a sign of misinvestment to me.
Go looks horribly slow, I thought segmented stacks have gone away to improve this?
Or maybe they are curious about your life and are not judging you or want anything at all

Unfortunately the only people who call me without warning are either family or someone from work, and they always want something. Even if they didn't, having to figure out the correct response to that question can be burdensome. The honest answer is usually either something they won't understand, won't see the value in, or is inappropriate to mention. If I say "nothing much", that translates to "of course I'm happy to sit here and listen to you talk about meaningless drivel for five minutes before asking me a favor."
The kids of the poorest and least educated immigrants are the ones who created the Italian and Irish gangs/mafia. We see the same thing in Western Europe today, where people fled their pretty bad countries, only to have their un-integrated kids repeat the same behaviors that made the origin countries bad in the first place.

I love the idea of the diversity visa lottery, I think it's a great way to spice up the population.
But mass immigration of low educated individuals is not good, they won't integrate as well as highly skilled workers.

Also, in the 1800s, you needed millions of farm workers, miners, rail workers etc. These jobs were dangerous, no skill required, no language required, making it feasible to just import whatever immigrants you can. Today it's not the case, with such a sophisticated economy.
Also interesting that elsewhere liquid concentrate is also popular. Which has the same benefits as frozen but with less of the hassle. Sometimes called Squash[0].

Often for small companies with limited resources, the act of trying to make something multi region has the effect of making the overall system less correct and less reliable than just running in a single region.
Ditto. I like being in the office to see people and chat. But open office floor plans are terrible. Too many distractions and not enough privacy.
Google Workspace is a pretty darned good product. It started out via a few acquisitions.
emacs + org-mode
I didn't use it before the acquisition, but I generally have positive experiences using LinkedIn despite it being acquired ~6 years ago.
The Overstory, a book by Richard Powers, explores this idea, starting with a story of American chestnuts over many human generations and westward expansion.
Ah yes, a great response here: "Please don't be racist towards people different than you" with a reference to one of the greatest wealth and race based forms of discrimination the world has known. I'm not at all against the peoples and cultures that suffered under Marxist-Leninist or Marxist-Leninist-Maoist domination and oppression from 1917 to today. But I refuse to tolerate the idea that a group meeting with HR is anything like the actual "struggle sessions"/"denunciation rallies":
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denunciation_rally
- https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ance_de_lutte
- https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%89%B9%E9%AC%A5

Using that term to describe a meeting for a few hours over hot or cold non-alcoholic beverages is not only showing ignorance of history, it's demonstrating that you tolerate and embed racist notions of the unimportant of the real suffering of Chinese and other peoples relative to the minor burden of on the job training, especially if you do more of the white-collar end of technical work.

Read a few books on the history of that term before using it again, or I have to assume that you literally would rather scare off anyone who has a heritage of suffering under ML/MLM domination rather than hire someone who is considered part of your in-group.
Why not work remotely? I can't see any benefits to living in the USA. I assume you already have experience living here, and for the life of me cannot fathom why anyone would choose the USA over most of Europe.

I could list all of the benefits of Europe, but I'm sure you know them as a resident. The USA is a very strange and highly dysfunctional (healthcare, social strife, violence, etc.) country. Most predictions for the future of the US are not optimistic, and there are good reasons for this.
Good times and good vibes
This is so sick. I'm going to use this. I'm getting to that point to where, "open tabs" and, "temporary bookmark(s)" are largely that same thing. I've got 23 tabs open right now and each is something I want to, "remember;" but it adds to cognitive load to keep track of, "things not wanting to get lost."

There's something in the air that sort of sings; the first person to figure out a better, "experience" for the current World Wide Web++ which effectively would amount to better way of doing Bookmarks, Open Tabs, History, and (in the view of some) social annotations with note-taking characteristics (Roam Research) is going to have a powerful tool on their hands. I've taken several passionate, "swings" at this problem but I believe it to be a sort of, "Wicked Problem" as the temptation is always to just sort of, "build a new Internet/World Wide Web" but that's just my take on this. It's worth pointing out that we're probably not going to get another, "sociopolitical shot" at creating a, "successor Internet" as attempts to bolster private or commercial networks at scale would have financial incentives for non-compatibility with each other. We kind of saw this in the proto-Internet of the 80's. The ARPAnet worked because it could be (inter)nationally homogenized as a, "military" network. You can see why, "startups" can't solve this kind of problem. I personally think it's unlikely that, "Web3" will do much either.

It's worth noting though; in the World Wide Web Browser for the NeXT Computer (which was the development IDE for the WWW) there were two features that we don't commonly see in web browsers today-- the first was an, "edit" button (think Wikipedia) and the other was a complete lack of, "personal" bookmarks. The idea was that you might keep track of interesting links by keeping an index of them on your own personal site. This seems to anticipate social bookmarking. It's also worth noting that in Vannevar Bush' Memex machine the idea was that people would benefit from viewing the, "search history" (associative trail) of researchers/scientists/the like as a new kind of research tool and there seems to be little in the way of, "authoring" the microfilms that make up Bush' early conception of a world wide hypermedia system. I almost think that would be a much richer form of, "social web;" We spend time, "surfing each other's wake" getting a fix for each other's reading and we add, "noteworthy content" as links to our own or our colleague's personal page(s) when we wish to make a contribution to the literature rather than having comments sections or social newsfeeds. You preserve openness without turning the international communication network into a bathroom wall. Food for thought!

(The Internet has yet to be invented and the computer revolution hasn't happened yet. Remember!)
Hey Tim, a long time ago I came to your office in Vancouver to talk about Ruler. Quamina seems very similar.

Are you learning Go with a familiar project? or is there another motivation for Quamina?
Was it replaced by a TLD for the individual islands?
I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment in principle, but I'm actually not rooting for Musk to keep executing. I've seen enough of him to be deeply concerned about what he'd do with even more power.
Thanks for the feedback, I will get it done by this week especially the screenshot.
I really hate this take because it ignores so much nuance. Yeah per kw.hr you make cheaper power with wind but guess what? Most population centers are far enough from windy and sunny areas that transmission is very expensive. Is not like utility companies and regulators are idiots in love with coal. Maybe they are but they like money more.
The newer one could have been fixed with a distinctive flair such as a green line following the brim of the glass or an orange peel besides it in the corner or a separate glass coloring for the base of the glass, anything that separates it from the everyday.

The problem is there's no motif. It doesn't need the straw orange but it does need some thing.

If you have a hard time distinctly describing it, generally you have a hard time remembering it
I'm surprised they only lost $30m. The original packaging visuals were incredible and it got me to want to drink orange juice as a kid.
> Finally, I felt irrelevant on Twitter.

This is like the first boss of tbe internet. Glad someone can at least confess to this, clarify this point. Understanding & welcoming this is a key pivot.

People will slowly trickle in & follow you if you contribute. The reward ks highly chaotic, statistical, makes little clear sense. But just showing up & saying reasonable things is a pretty lock long term win.
Contractually?
I got into the mango orange juice, and it got really hard to find.. which led me to frozen and there’s no going back! There are so many more options, and a lot more options without added sugars and corn syrup being added to the mix.
Settings, Sounds, Headphone safety, reduce loud sounds, adjust the slider accordingly. I had to turn this on because my IEMs were way too loud on the lowest setting.
> How is PoW more objective

PoS is inherently self referential. To know the state at time N you must agree to a subjective view of validators within at least some subjectivity period of N. PoW has no such requirement and a chain of headers needs no additional information to verify.

> If a malicious group gets 51% of PoS ETH you can fork the chain to a new one that removes the malicious actor stake.

This kind of censorship is exactly what I mean. You can't fork away a PoW miners hasherate without blowing up everyone's hashrate. The fact that this may be wanted in some form is one reason many protocols are better off with PoS, but it's still a censorship vector that isn't available in PoW.

You're arguing reasons that PoS censorship points are ideal not that they don't exist.
I lived in Zim through the hyperinflation and early USD years and knew lots of people working in private schools there. I heard one of them say that school fees were also set to be roughly constant in units of cattle (I forget the exact numbers, it might have been 3 heifers (~2000 USD) per term).

Maybe the same idea now with bay area house prices in units of FAANG shares. Everything is constant for those holding (cows, FAANG) and not great for those with (ZD, USD).
> There is a good faith obligation to ensure an orderly shutdown of the retiring ccTLD which takes into consideration the interests of its registrants and the stability and security of the DNS.

> The Manager of the ccTLD should be notified (Notice of Removal) that the ccTLD shall be removed from the Root Zone five years from the date of the notice.

ICANN’s lack of perspective is stunning. If I own a domain on any TLD my interest as a registrant is having that TLD around forever. I’m one of the few that thinks the new TLDs are an amazing opportunity for people to build brands and identities. I’m also never going to rely on anything but .com because I don’t trust ICANN.

ICANN is one of the most important institutions around, so it’s sad to see them working so hard for themselves and the registries while making registrars and registrants a secondary consideration (IMO).

I think Framework really has something going here with their à la carte approach to laptop sales. People want to tinker and build their own ideas and there is a dearth of options for portable motherboards which are truly modular, versus doing something like gutting a laptop.

They may have stumbled into a nice niche that is all their own. I Hope they lean into it.
Macau also had its own TLD (.mo) prior to the handover just like Hong Kong so I don't see why China would all of a sudden decide to prohibit the use of either (maybe when the 50 years are up!) There's no TLD for the other SARs but that's because they were never independent.
What's the case? From what I've read, there is no case law on whether an X-ray meets the creativity requirement.
Why not just keep it? Most TLDs aren't even linked to a country, so if a country stops existing it would just become another TLD not linked to a country.
That is linked from the main article and is itself a bit of an ad for their eye-tracking software with some dubious claims. But it did send me down a rabbit hole over the agency that did the package design. The design came from Arnell Group headed by Peter Arnell. Arnell was retained to rebrand both Tropicana and Pepsi (same parent corp) and the produced the infamous logo redesign deck that circulated back in 2008: https://www.reddit.com/r/Design/comments/hspqgd/pepsi_logo_r...

My guess is that Pepsi didn't know what they were doing, hired an agency who came on really strong with a ton of bravado about how their instincts trump research and got sold a pile of magic beans.
> buying the liquid form means paying for the shipping and space cost of the water.

Buying frozen solid means cleaning up your mixer. I also bet it's easier to lose some fiber.

Either way, the taste isn't the same as freshly made juice.

I'm from Brazil and loved tangerine/mandarin juice since when I was a kid. Now I've moved to the Netherlands and love it even more. How come, you may ask?
In Brazil, we usually find tangerine pulps. Here, I buy fresh tangerine in the supermarket. Sure thing, it takes much longer to squeeze them and clean things up... but the taste is 5 times better.
A deprecated unmaintained tool[1][2]. Use anything else. Nom has a new thing, pnpm, turborepos, yarn v1, yarn v2/berry...

lerna has been a bonfire of shit, massive huge issues you coupd drive a correlian corvette through. There's literally no supported way to update a dependency inside a subrepo[3]. Lerna has always been fantasy, has never really worked. But it inspired change.
