I love Notion and use it for both work and personal purposes.

It's definitely a matter of personal taste though. For me, it just works: the fluidity of the interface, adding new pages and sub-pages, the auto-saving that's completely out of my face, the auto-linking, the easy-to-remember macros...

For business, most of my clients are still using Confluence, and that's the exact opposite: clunky and getting in my way constantly. Again, a matter of personal taste but that counts for a lot when I am the done paying for the subscription! I would not pay for Confluence in a million years!

Now, what's the Notion equivalent to JIRA - any tips?
> Polish Jews were targeted as Jews, but non-Jewish Poles were not targeted in the same way (i.e., the Germans were brutal occupiers, but Catholic Poles were not targeted for extermination).

What are you talking about? The Nazis absolutely intended to exterminate Catholic Poles (and other Slavs). Murdering Jews was higher priority, but had the Nazis won there wouldn't be too many Slavs around in Eastern Europe today.

And despite losing the war the Germans together with their erstwhile allies, the Soviets, still managed to exterminate a huge fraction of the Polish elite in a targeted fashion.

I won't say I'm not guilty of that too sometimes. Although I don't think it's so bad. If there's a tool that you really like using that can be adapted to work in a variety of scenarios, I can understand the justification. For some of the things I do, there probably are better tools for the job, but if I can make use of existing tools I already know how to use well, even if in a suboptimal way, that might be more worthwhile to me than investing in learning something new.
Sometimes people would like just a ballpark. Is this going to be looked at this year? At all? Is it on roadmap? Should I wait a week or just carry on with my own patch, work around it, or go with an alternative solution? A ballpark response may at least add enough clarity for people to know how to proceed in the meantime. "I'll look into it real soon now" out of some unwarranted sense of duty and then a year of radio silence is not helpful.

"ETA" sure is a wrong term. (You're not my manager! Argh!!!) However, work enough in a corporate setting, and those words firmly suck into you and it takes a time to unlearn them. ETA, touch base, circle back to (or worse, faux military vocabulary in a company that has jack to do with military, my pet peeve). Unless they go out of their way to be pushy, you may as well not assume ill intent where there's only a professional deformation.

Saying it in public is one thing. Using it in branding that you want users to associate with is another.
Are you saying that unregulated exchanges wouldn't be largely populated by speculators?
> It is interesting to contemplate a world where one social network like facebook didn't end up dominating the entire space, but instead we had a bunch of social networks each dominating their own geographical region.

One person's "regional diversity" is another's "Balkanization."

... but for this application I don't disagree with you at all. In fact, I suspect Facebook is doing a disservice to humanity at large trying to get 100% of the human population onto its network; this results in the need to do some pretty inhuman things to users, like pretending that everyone can operate under a flat mass cultural norm so that a TOS can be enforced. They're conducting a large-scale experiment on human interaction that is in no way guaranteed to pan out.

Good typography seems to dictate a wider space after a sentence than between words. So this is a typewriter habit to mimic that kind of thing (like the sibling noted).
I'll have to take your word for it.
But why is the ruble so high?

AFAICT, oil companies and a few others are swimming in foreign income and can't spend it (because e.g. Halliburton won't take their money, which is a problem in the long term), most of the rest of the companies around the economy are lacking both income and supplies, both kinds are hurting and the hurt is getting worse.

He was offering to replace all my fillings, about 9 in total. So not just the one(s) that might cause my (slight) pain. In fact he wasn't even mentioning my complaint anymore even though I told him initially that this was the reason I wanted him to check.
Does this have any connection to what is happening here: https://twitter.com/hellspawncrypto/status/15388470138481049... <--- or is this conspiracy theory?
> Suggesting to their leader that they read a chapter ... I know if I was his manager I would have probably chosen to not renew his contract at that moment and would be counting the days before I could get rid of him.

I'm genuinely surprised that people like you and OP's manager exist. You'd want to get rid of someone because they gave a book recommendation that you disliked? Jesus. I get how the book recommendation was a bad move, but holy crap, it's nowhere near bad enough to "choose to not to renew his contract".
I appreciate it. I don't tell people about this in real life (aside from my wife and a few therapists over the years) so occasionally posting as I did here can feel a bit unburdening and beneficial to me.

I agree there's no one tool for all possible diagramming cases. Knotend actually isn't geared towards making highly pretty graphs since it uses autolayout. It's specifically for fast editing of a structured graph. For example there's no way to have a dangling edge to nowhere. I personally like this because it was the main pain point I felt with miro, lucid, etc. and I want to continue down the path of what we can do if we have a super fast editing experience for structured directed graphs (eg, could you export this to another tool that consumes it and does some computation).
Sentences are just a tool for exchanging an idea. The actual sentence doesn’t matter, only the idea.
> There is a strong distinction between selling open hardware

Correct. The entire supply chain evolved for proprietary stuff. There are NDAs and roadblocks everywhere.

Most chip vendors are very happy to assist close phone manufacturers in implementing drivers, optimize battery usage etc. and do not cooperate with any open source effort.
I think you're making the case for Apple being too powerful.
From Apple's perspective,

If you want access to Apple's user. You have to play by their rules. Remember even if those users are Tumblr's reader or members, they are ultimately accessing it via iPhone, whether that is through Safari or Apps. And Apple dictate the rules.

Since Apple is a force of Good. Apple are righteous. Their fellow evangelist will tell you everything else are by their definition are Evil. Such as Ads. And banning whatever it is, whether that is porn, news that does not adhere to their political views, or music that doesn't fits certain requirement. And they are fighting all these evil for you, an act of love.
S3 buckets are private by default. I'm pretty sure it warns you very heavily when making items public too.
I think the second paragraph should just be the first. (Or perhaps somehow keeping the pronunciation guide etc. in the first for prominence, since that's the usual Wikipedia style.)
> These days I just ignore the dentist when they say I need fillings, unless I am experiencing pain.

Careful. It is possible for a cavity to be completely painless up to the point it is so big that the tooth actually completely collapses, and then you get to enjoy something much more annoying than getting a filling (especially a small one) such as a root canal.

If you have small cavities and don't want to get them filled and aren't sure they are the kind that if they grow won't be pain free until it is too late, look into silver diamine fluoride [1].

In the US its official use is to help people with dental hypersensitivity, but it also can stop or greatly slow cavity formation and growth. Dentists in the US can use it off-label for that.

There's an update blog post on this from Cloudflare's product security manager:

https://ejj.io/blog/fixing-capital-one

The linked Wyden letter makes for interesting reading too:

> "While it is likely that Amazon has known that its AWS product was vulnerable to SSRF attacks since the first high-profile demonstration by a security researcher in 2014, the company has certainly known since mid-2018 at the latest. In August of 2018, Amazon's security team was contacted by email by a cybersecurity expert, who recommended that Amazon adopt the same cybersecurity defense against SSRF already used by Google and Microsoft. A copy of that email is attached. Amazon failed to act on this third-party report and has not provided an explanation for its inaction."
Thank you! I made a mistake here by making the keyboard shortcuts a little too sparse on info. I like how some other tools show a little visualization of the key + words describing it. I'll work on it.
My current dentist of the many years is perfect. She is obsessed with the quality of work and materials, and aims to optimize for being on top of problems vs being conservative in treatment.

Inevitably she will retire... Then I need to find another dentist who cares most about dentistry.

The industry is apparently now dense with dentists obsessed with the business of dentistry, or even “dentist lifestyle influencers” who glamorize the business of dentistry to sell products/courses/whatever to other dentists.
That trade thing is how I have realized I feel about dentistry.

I've always felt it was a little bit science and a little bit art. I don't think there's an exact set of steps to every tooth and it's problem. There's just too many variables, so they have to figure it out as they go.

Two dentists in the same clinic might not do it the same way. Problem wise, two identical repairs might wear differently, causing one to last a lifetime, but another to fall out in a couple of years. A mouth gets a lot of use.

I am, however, lucky enough that my dentist will see two paths, and offer the less expensive option with a "wait and see" disclaimer. I've had no problems with those repairs, where I'm positive some others would have immediately escalated from the filling to a root canal, filling, crown, etc path.
S3 buckets are now very clearly labelled as being public, perhaps even private by default.

Not so long ago this wasn't the case and various grey hat services would let you explore public buckets via a nice interface / API. What you could find was pretty shocking.

The idea of "don't use it if you don't know how" still applies though. In this world so many things can go wrong if you don't understand what button does what but that's not an excuse imho - AWS isn't designed for non technical people.
Having been a manager and made the decision to never manage anyone again if I can avoid it.

Nothing is more irritating than having a direct report start bickering nonstop.

And by bickering I mean: Constantly turning every small discussion into an open ended micro argument.

This is not “push back,” or “feedback,” or “input.” This feels like they are deliberately creating friction on every single decision to prevent productivity. It is a sort of strategy to avoid being managed and avoid doing work.

It is also a nonstop questioning of your authority and it erodes your ability to manage them in a really sinister manner.

Reading this story, it felt like the engineer was doing that.

If you have never experienced it yourself, it is hard to stare just how irritating it is.

Example: “ok, can you fill in the spreadsheet. I have to show something on Monday.”

Them: “why are we using spreadsheets and not JIRA. Spreadsheets are not scalable.”

Repeat this process across every single decision and it becomes completely intolerable.
> My housekeeper does, and so do the guys who collect my garbage. They're never going to be financially stable in the way I am, though.

This just seems overly reductive in the opposite direction. Do you not know any housekeepers or garbage collectors? It feels like you're going so far out of your way to try to make the person you're responding to feel sorry for them that you're being cruel and dismissive.

My mother-in-law was an immigrant housekeeper who over the course of her life eventually became a well paid live-in private chef, for example.

And even if someone doesn't become rich they can often provide for subsequent generations. My Dad was able to become a doctor because his immigrant construction laborer father was able to give him enough stability to do well in school.

This thread is about having compassion, and certainly the top level comment lacks it. But your comment also kind of lacks it? I know it tries to, but it feels very condescending to me, and takes the agency from vast swathes of people. I can't imagine hanging out among "housekeepers and garbage collectors" and not seeing that they're just people, too, and some are among a vibrant community and have dreams and aspirations for themselves or their children, and hearing bragging of all the success stories of those who have become financially stable the way you are.
Is this a curious name for a plant product or a chunk of hair? If the latter, is there anything really different in the lion mane vs. Any other kind of hair? It’s all protein, which is probably why my cats clean up their shed hair - unless they just like to make contributions on the carpet from time to time.

Have you read any of the criticism of the book? Its Wikipedia entry quotes Pullum:

> The book's toxic mix of purism, atavism, and personal eccentricity is not underpinned by a proper grounding in English grammar. It is often so misguided that the authors appear not to notice their own egregious flouting of its own rules ... It's sad. Several generations of college students learned their grammar from the uninformed bossiness of Strunk and White, and the result is a nation of educated people who know they feel vaguely anxious and insecure whenever they write however or than me or was or which, but can't tell you why.

(See also "50 Years of Stupid Grammar Advice" at, eg, https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-file-manager/fil... . Language Log recommends https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Strunk+site%3Ahttp%3A%... as a way to find further criticism from them.)

For "Omit needless words", a problem is identifying what "needless" means. Quoting http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004552.h...:

> Whenever you see an appeal to ONW, you should wonder what people are doing with those "needless" words. Most of the time, those extra words are serving some function that conflicts with brevity; they're doing some work.

There are also examples how that phrase (likely) caused people to believe that if a word can be omitted then in must be ommitted, like http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004176.h... and http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/000994.h... .

Or how in White's own writings he "sometimes throws in a few extra words just for the sheer resonant fun of it" - http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001904.h... .

FWIW, I think "don't be too wordy" is more accurate and less likely to be misunderstood than "omit needless words", and one character shorter.

(Personally, I still recall my utter confusion in 11th grade English trying to figure what "passive" meant when told to avoid it. Turns out three of the four examples of passive in "The Elements of Style" ... aren't passive! And yes, I got marked off for using what may- or may-not have been the passive.)
In the US, the most common cheese in mac & cheese has got to be cheddar. Cheddar is low in lactose. “Fancy” mac & cheese might use gruyère instead, which is also often acceptable to people with lactose intolerance.
The article isn't advocating making sentences shorter. It is using short sentences, but that is not what is being said.
Revenge of the Pod Parents
Orkut drew my interest because of they managed to become somewhat of a standard in regards to social widget embedding, how users would authenticate with a widget and the storage of widget state.

I had a profile just to test this stuff, but stopped using it when it started to get a bad reputation due to grooming. Last thing I heard was that it was still popular in Brazil, and that's it, but that was already many years ago.

I'm not really sure if Orkut could relaunch with that brand. I just assume that it may intend to relaunch because that site is trending on HN, the proper thing to do would have been for Orkut to embed the publication date in that post.
That's the idea though, right? She's the new generation.
I just asked a couple Americans what foods they thought of as “comfort food” and nobody listed ice cream. Take it how you will, it’s just anecdotes.
I agree, it's needed. It is one of several reasons that I need to rewrite the layout algo for both better positioning of nodes and edges (which makes drawing the arrow heads simpler since they won't overlap each other). In terms of back/forwards arrows -- the lines should be rendered differently if they are going from right to left (with a dashed line).
I know what I'm doing, I just don't always know how to do it. But I know how to find out, and I have the mental framework to pick it up quickly. That's what juniors should understand about how this works. You'll never know everything, but you should know how to know.
Dispelling Beauty Lies
Kind of. The first link has:

> For now, there isn't a timelock program, but transitioning to governance in the future will cause upgrades to go through a governance vote as well.

So not really suggesting any currently functional governance, which makes sense given they never did a vote before. That said the important thing here is probably that they document an upgrade authority, and that they control its keys.

The second link mentions governance only in the context of types of attacks that are in scope for a bug bounty, which doesn’t really tell users anything about governance. I wouldn’t be surprised if they copied this from somewhere TBH, it doesn’t seem very tailored.

> who rarely pay the full cost of the road/utilities that service them.

There are costs that are higher in cities too, such as public housing. There are costs that are higher in mountains and in plains, in the north or the south, on the coast or inland, for commuters and people who stay home and people with kids or without, those that have ICE or electric vehicles or bikes, etc.

Allocating taxes or fees based on service usage has a lot of negative effects: 1) It's very complicated to quantify: Those rural roads also carry goods to the city, for example, and each person in the city uses those goods at different rates. 2) It requires a metering, collection, enforcement, etc. infrastructure. 3) It's divisive: Instead of bringing the community together and saying, 'this is good; we should do this together', it becomes 'you used 10 micro-whatever more but only paid X'.

Instead of spending my energy and time on fees, I think this is a much better deal: I'm happy for my neighbors, urban and rural, to do well and have what they reasonably need, and they are happy for me to do the same.

At the same time, would you happen to know about any data or research that tries to sort out the economics of #1 above?
BlackTechTwitter for Life
OK, try these on for fit:

"Is it really the theft that cost the person the valuables stored at home, or the fact that they didn't have live armed guards or didn't store it in a vault? While the thief is obviously in the wrong here, you doubt it makes sense to pin the whole sum on him."

"Is it really the rapist that cost the person's life, or the fact that they weren't fully armed and were not at home after sunset? While the rapist/murderer is obviously in the wrong here, you doubt it makes sense to pin the whole sum on him."

These are not accidents like parking a car at the edge of a cliff and forgetting to put it in gear and set the parking brake.

These are deliberate premeditated actions by another party exploiting some weakness or error. Of course it helps to avoid weakness or errors, but the point of a civilized society is to not have to live like we're constantly under assault in an armed camp.

The criminal is a criminal, and the entire amount rests on his/her head.

That said, it is also appropriate for those who lost to analyze the losses and improve their situation. If there was already a spec or procedure to handle this, and it was not followed, then it would not be surprising to see some workers and managers retrained or sacked. But zero of this reduces the criminal's responsibility or liability.

I suppose that if there is anyone to blame for shortcomings incurring costs, it is the criminal herself. Aside from deciding to do the crime in the first place, she also had bad enough opsec to get caught, and that will come with a price.
Jupyter has similar issues with bad environments but it’s usually much closer to “didn’t get my dependency versions right” or “this could theoretically run with less junk” and things like that.

Colab is far worse, they say “don’t worry about it, you can just clone” and it’s just been a toxic spill, rotting away at the level of understanding in the ML community. Colab let’s you basically never put any effort into management of setup, dependencies, or data, and consequently it’s both amazing and fucking horrible the moment you want to avoid using it because everyone just builds their project “leaning on” the capabilities of Colab… it’s built an entire shanty town of poorly managed ML projects leaning precariously against the supports provided by Colab.

I’m just glad it hasn’t sucked too much air out of Jupyter in the ML community because at least stock Jupyter based tools are easy enough to take apart and reverse engineer since it’s a normal Python ecosystem, no magic Google drive data links, no custom Google tensor unit specific libraries, no push button magic clones of entirely hand crafted environments.

Even not-so-new managers often want to be able to answer questions about what their team has been working on and what's coming next and when.
