> What is keeping Zettelkasten from being adopted by a lot of other people is probably the unnecessary complexity and over-commercialization of note-taking systems.

What is keeping them is that even the original version is labor intensive.

Most people are forgetting that ZK is a tool to organize knowledge for the purpose of writing papers. When the craze began a few years ago I dove deep into it and discovered a few things:

- 95% of people/sites talking about ZK are not following the ZK principles (atomic notes, with forward and reverse links).

- It is time consuming. When you write a new note, you have to put in the effort to make multiple notes to make them atomic, and spend time figuring out the appropriate links/chains to insert them into. This often requires examining a lot of previous material you've written to ensure there is not much overlap. It's a much slower note taking process than anything else I've used.

- Those that do follow it say you need to stick to it for a long time (at least a few years) before the gains start to compensate for the labor. I recall one particular academic who started doing ZK during his grad school years say it took about 8 years of following the ZK discipline before it began to pay off (and it keeps paying off years later). Think about it: All the knowledge accumulated stored in the form of ZK notes, and it didn't pay off until quite a bit after his thesis defense.

I don't doubt ZK is worth it, but I simply don't have the time. One has to factor in opportunity costs. Unless you plan to become a prolific writer/essayist, I would not recommend this approach.
ESP32s in most (all?) variant are available. So are nRFs. Most ICs that were out of stock 1-2 years ago are avail again.

STM32s (most/all variants?) are unavailable. It's frustrating since these are very nice MCUs for a number of use cases. Ie fast, loads of hardware peripherals, variants and footprints to fit various project requirements.
>difficult to separate Alex Jones-type conspiracies from the Hunter Biden laptop "conspiracies" which turn out to be true.

It makes it difficult to separate because the laptop story was also just as horseshit. Where is the laptop by chance?

That chart suggests it isn't a huge deal in the US, but many people here would disagree. Must be vary regional. I do know that I've seen many areas where prices have been declining (I like to browse houses once in a while just to fantasize a bit about my next move).
Will this exclude just declaring a work as public domain, like some of the Boost libraries?

Unfortunately, the spending also provided a huge military comfortably capable of over-responses and misdirection in the context of small but dramatic threats.

A vast amount of US "defense" spending since 9/11 has been a "war on money" in the form of massive unending offensive plays against countries that had/have undesirable aspects, but that didn't declare war on the US.
I've been in a very similar situation to you, right down to many of the details. There are a ton of obvious suggestions, e.g. exercise, try to go outside everyday even for 5 mins, talk to friends more, focus on one side project at a time etc. but the problem wasn't the ideas for me. it was the motivation to do them. For that, the thing that helped above all was therapy and opening up more to my closest friends. I wish you all the best - things can change quicker than expected.
Automatic vehicle climate control. If the ambient temperature is hotter than the setting I get blasted with frozen air and if it's colder I have to sit in an oven until the car decides it's the correct temperature. I much preferred twisting a knob until the air hitting my face was comfortable. What is comfortable is altered by how active I've been, the time of day, the temperature I've been in before getting into the car, what I'm wearing, etc. Climate control doesn't give a shit about any of that.
> This is a good point; some controllers are neither circular nor square. Check out the mapping ranges for a couple of Nintendo’s old controllers: https://electromodder.co.uk/

Very interesting, thanks! I've noticed myself that sometimes if I'm holding the controller a bit skewed my natural impulse will be to push in directions that don't exactly map to what the controller wants. EG I think I'm pushing forward, but I'm moving forward and slightly to the left. And its not just stick drift, its my own user error.
The environmentalists killed a zinc mine in my state due to pollution concerns.
Of course every pound of zinc not mined meant more steel without zinc protection, and hence more rust and more mining of iron ore. Arguments like this were completely lost on them.
> Note: I think you've also been confusing government and state, but I assume that was not intentionally.

Not intentionally, no. Given that the context was nationalization, what in your view is the difference between government and state?
I would say that you've misunderstood the sprectral nature of marketing. Yes some marketing is immoral, but not all of it is. It's not black and white.

Charity advertertising or B-corp marketing would be on the other end of your spectrum. I still think they could also be put down as the "quintessence of marketing".

> Humans used to exist in small roving bands. Now we are organized into nation-states. I don't see a truly compelling reason why that trend towards greater organization can't continue.

The former is the answer to the latter here. Humanity is trending to a more unified, globalized, monolithic series of structures. Smaller cultures, countries and people groups have been conquered, dimmed, and "globalized". You can easily observe this in art and architecture.

To be clear: you need both. Ironically, thinking that you can exist without a defensive military response is the real failure of imagination :/.
I want both, tailored searches can be fantastically useful and provide a lot better results. But sometimes I am trying to get out of my own bubble of historical interest and then its a real problem.
People do something similar with e.g. Raspberry Pi machines with a microSD card; they make an overlayfs setup where the OS logs et. al. get written to memory and are only being synced to the main microSD card once an hour or so -- to avoid amortizing it too quickly.

So I'd imagine making something like that but with DwarFS below would be quite easy although it'd require you to set it up by hand. Still, once done it'll likely be a rock-solid setup for a long time.
In expensive areas (ie, cities that are popular), it does not encourage single family construction. Rather, it includes packing as many units onto property as feasible.

That doesn't preclude ownership - condos and co-ops work as well as apartments.

Out in the boonies a land value tax wouldn't discourage single family, because the land is not valuable (in comparison to a city).
"I couldn't help but notice that many young people don't want to spend months pulling their hair off to get a deeper understanding of what they do... they want to obtain value very quickly."

It might be that we have to obtain value quickly.

I'd love to dive deep into my systems and tech. My company doesn't want that. They want someone who can just knock out half-decent code as dastardly as possible. There's no thought to actually allowing or helping employees become experts. They don't want experts because they can't afford them, so they create an environment where everyone is mediocre.

> Too many remote controls. One for TV, one for AppleTv, one for PS5 if I want to see a movie on bluray, one for the Denon AMP, etc... There should be a standard for that.

Totally agree, although just as an anecdotal experience: I was very surprised this weekend when I set up a soundbar with my TV, which immediately recognized it and did some configuration which allowed me to control the soundbar volume with my normal TV remote.

Yep, that ship has sailed. Burger King in Singapore was selling a "Truffle Mayo Chicken Tendercrisp" a few years back, for heaven's sake.
Of course it's a good thing if people are able to move up and do better economically. But it seems like a huge stretch to assume that's what happens to existing residents when gentrification happens.
Boost libs are not public domain; they are licensed under the Boost license.
I have a home laptop which had a just purchased new install of windows 10 on it until I was pretty much forced to upgrade to win 11. I am very disgruntled now, as my HDMI port (To my big screen TV) began to fail soon after the upgrade (Dell 1640 XPS laptop.. Do not buy). Soon thereafter my TV began restarting a lot as well because the screen brightness kept varying wildly and the audio now has pops in it whenever I stream video and multi-task on both screens.

Other MAJOR frustrations is that the screen background cannot be matched when extending the display, the calendar does not show when I click the time/date displayed o the taskbar, task manager is no longer accessible by right clicking the taskbar, and worst of all, the task bar cannot be adjusted to a different position on screens -- I used to always set my taskbar to the top to recall the NT era. I also, as with every windows upgrade had to look up correct (new) drivers for all of my hardware components, as windows driver finder has never worked smoothly... ever.... in history.

These wild changes cannot be simple mistakes or oversight in such a large company with so many employees so much experience in OS development. The only reason why these kinds of frustrations occur in my opinion is that MSFT is trying to implant a reason to update to their next OS, because right now, the only other place anyone can go is Linux (Which won't run all the apps I already bought/need) or to Mac (I have tried Apple, I don't like Apple, It's really not for me, Thanks I'll just suffer instead).

I'll probably also need a new laptop by the time win 12 or whatever comes out, and a new TV for strange reasons. :/
A PsyD can assess your focus level using a few diagnostics and if you don’t have other problems that better explain your focus deficit (e.g. PTSD or depression) you will be diagnosed with ADHD.

Talk to your doctor about it. If you can get in with the PsyD the process is pretty easy and non-painful.

The hard part is adapting how you approach the world once you know that you have ADHD, but it’s absolutely worth it.
Sure, not all sales is the manipulative kind. What you're describing sounds like the nice part of the "consultative selling" end of sales. And I'm sure it works well for a market leader with a huge brand. But it has that name to distinguish it from the more common sort. The used car salesman, Glengarry Glen Ross side of things.

Long ago a friend told me about a meeting with a very successful serial CEO where the topic was hiring ad sales reps. The famous guy said that they needed to find people with a lot of personal debt, because salespeople needed to be absolutely desperate for the commission checks to really go out and sell. I suspect that sort of thinking underlies a lot of the problematic sales behaviors: desperate people do desperate things.
> Also, I have ADHD. This is probably relevant, but I haven't quite figured out how.

not a minor detail. take some time to recharge and build anticipation for your work.

some things that help me a lot, in no particular order, which may or may not resonate with you:

- get a therapist

- get medicated

- spend time meditating

- make sure you're staying hydrated and eating healthy foods

- stretch, try to exercise. if you can't exercise still stretch. if you can only exercise for 2 minutes, do that, if you can't at all, that's ok. still try to stretch

- avoid telling yourself what you should or shouldn't do. keep things very optional and open. It's really easy to be compulsively telling yourself what you should be doing all day every day. I keep a "possibilities" list, and only add to it when i'm feeling overwhelmed like i need to do everything all at once. putting stuff onto the list makes me feel like i've made progress on it, even if i haven't -- which is fine, because the goal is to make sure I don't forget, to give it a bit of attention, but not distract or take over what i'm actually trying to accomplish

- try to catch when you're telling yourself what you should do, and reframe it as something you could do, and how it might benefit you to do it

- get some sunlight, or at least a happy light. it will help regulate hormones and your sleep cycle

- practice sleep hygiene and get a healthy amount of sleep

- take all of what you said, and say "...and that's ok" -- practice acceptance. you're working on improving your situation, even if it feels like you haven't. reaching out to HN like this is a big thing.

- don't try to get out of the rut, just try to be at peace with yourself. the rut will pass, but fighting it will elongate it.

- find and fix the small stressors in your life. small changes can make a big difference.

- develop routines so you can spend more time on autopilot, or not have to worry about stuff

- don't try to do too much at once. set small achievable incremental goals for yourself. your goal is to be doing better, however small of an increment that may be

I say this with absolutely no judgement: this is probably negatively impacting you. Something that helped me is switching to 20:1 cbd:thc vape cartridges. Maybe try with 5:1, then 10:1. This is also assuming it's legal where you are.

I don't think we will ever need a negative leap second. We can just wait longer until dispatching the next positive one. The only situation in which we'd need a negative leap second is if Earth's rotation were consistently speeding up over many years. But we can tolerate some wiggle room (as in, several seconds) between UTC and TAI (since it's not in lockstep anyway).
Animats, bless you for posting this every time Xanadu comes up. There's always plenty of discussion on the man himself and his peculiarities. Not enough looking at the context of the times this was conceived, the problems Xanadu was expected to resolve, or the perspective and philosophies of the developers that ended up baked into the very structure written into it.
Sound's like you just straight up don't like your job, so I'd say get the CV up to scratch and start looking elsewhere.

Also, working from home is not for everyone. It pains me to say it, but I can't work from home. All I do is have an existential crisis about my life and I want to be anywhere else doing anything else, the whole time. In the office, I just crack on.

Agreed with others say regarding dropping the drugs. South Park quote that's relevant here...

Randy: Well, Stan, the truth is marijuana probably isn't gonna make you kill people, and it most likely isn't gonna fund terrorism, but… well, son, pot makes you feel fine with being bored. And it's when you're bored that you should be learning some new skill or discovering some new science or being creative. If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you aren't good at anything.
Or say, didn't have a massive amount of wealth owned by the rich, who really don't do much. But then again, if wealth was better distributed, there'd be far more consumption, and that is generally bad for the environment.

But back to the point, I think napkin math for the military budget for one year is (if there was supply) solar and wind for the whole grid. It is close to a trillion dollars, and that is such a crazy number.

The Iraq War #2 was such a tragedy of wasted treasure. That is the budget for mitigation/heading off climate change. It was the right time, the right amount of money.
> You'd get conquered and your conqueror would have more money to spend on their military?

I think this stop being true in 1945.
That's true. The farmers' market also acts as a advertising for that kind of direct relationship. Most of the vendors have cards with links or phone numbers where you can arrange that kind of thing, or even deliveries. I'd say the difference is the farmers' market allows for that, whereas at a grocery store I'm usually buying products labelled states away, if they even are from a farmer you could ever buy direct from at all.
Yeah - this one. I'm sure there must have been some accidents that occurred because it really requires you to shift your attention to the screen.
I could be wrong, but I think OP meant, choose something to eliminate and do it for 30 days. Then choose to introduce it back in if you wish. This allows you to observe the effect it has on you.

I did this with added sugars. I could definitely feel the cravings to not only eat more as you added it back in but also the baseline cravings to just have some amount of sugar in your body. It is very eye opening.

You also become very aware of how much sugar is in everything.

I'm gladdened to hear that, at least.

Is there any mechanism for local, independent ISP's to pop up and take advantage of this funding, or is it all tailored towards big-telco?
There are some bits missing from this dashboard but as a layman who lives in TX, let me give you the rundown I gave a friend:

This dashboard gives you an overall of the capabilities and capacity of the grid.

Capacity and Demand - How much capacity the system has available against how much is being used in real-time. As the two lines get closer together, it can indicate that the grid is nearing capacity and the need for conservation or an EEA may be necessary.

Grid Frequency - While related to load, a lot of appliances keep their clocks based off of the grid frequency. Our grid is 60Hz. Deviations from that are expected and usually OK. However, anything greater than ~.5% is considered bad and a 1% variation (e.g. 59.4 Hz) can actually cause equipment damage. In fact, the reason we had load shedding back in Feb '21 was because we got down to 59.4Hz.

Wind & Solar Generation - How much of our capacity is coming from those sources. The days where Wind is down usually is when conservation notices come in.

Energy Flow to/from Other grids - How much power are we getting/sending from/to other grids. We have ties to MX, a "railroad" tie as well as ties to the eastern/western grids. We can and do import/export up to about 800 MW from those grids when needed.

ERCOT Ancillary Real Time is where things (IMO get interesting).

Supply Regulation (freq. adjustment) and ancillary supply are really the big indicators of issues. The more "supply regulation" that goes online the more we are having to adjust the frequency of the grid to compensate. If the grid frequency is too low and all of the regulation freq. up has been deployed—that's a BIG issue and indicates that the system cannot deliver enough.

If the system has deployed all of its online/offline reserve capacity, then there simply is no more generation capacity available. When things "get bad" THOSE two are the ones to watch because those are the ones that are engaged in ensuring the overall stability of the system.

10%? Holy shit, I'd say a solid 90% of my output never brought enough value to justify doing it in the first place. Much of it without ever seeing a real user. Software development feels like digging holes and filling them back up again, over and over, to me.
I had to look up "telegraph" to confirm I'd understood you correctly. I don't recall seeing it used in the context of describing language, so I doubted my interpretation. I've heard it used most in discussions of boxing: a boxer's posture or their sequence of muscle activations _telegraph_ their planned attack such that their opponent has time to block or counter.

I like the way you used it. I'll try to use that myself.
Smartphones - while providing great utility in some areas, they are generally too distracting without a lot of tweaking. They also result in me having to repeat myself at people fiddling with their phones instead of listening.

Chatbots - as others mentioned.

Laptops - encourage bad posture, lots of PT and exercise to improve that. Self-control as well.

Smart watches - same reasons as phone. Lot of good and a lot of bad.
Probably just insanely expensive. Just the welding process for stainless alone would add so much.
If you're in the U.K., I'd highly recommend reading "Rethinking the economics of land and housing" which outlines the history of several clear policies decisions that _encouraged_ housing as an investment which (along with supply restrictions) are in turn why it outperforms lots of other forms of investment. It's not just the market speaking, it's been shaped through lots of conscious decision making that can be undone.
I am sympathetic to the consent argument (I don't know that I would have my boys circumcised). However risk significantly increases with age, so that is something to consider.
If the solution implies de-engineering society from first principles to satisfy a programmer’s desire for regularity, it’s more of a thought experiment than a solution.
