“Since we began our journey with Rust, the number of projects using Rust inside Meta has increased at an accelerated rate”

That almost sounds like an endorsement. I’ve been holding off learning Rust. However, it seems like Rust adoption is reaching a tipping point.
I really wish that Jetbrains Gateway supported attaching to remote Docker containers the way that VSCode does. This is probably the biggest thing keeping me from using Jetbrains products more extensively.
I've been using Helm for everything for years and have been reluctant to switch to the Consult, Embark, Marginalia etc ecosystem. Is it worth it?
Is there somewhere one can view that work? I have to admit I'm skeptical, because most of the parent comment's complaints are pretty fundamental to how the app is built.

But I share their gripes, and it's similarly important to me. And I'm currently trying to choose a tool in this category to adopt.
I guess it takes to much time.
And just shrugging off and ignoring the person just makes them less threatening.
I think their biggest issue is the mechanical engineering of the dishes. They use non-standard mounts, and (despite using bog-standard outdoor/riser-rated cat 5e cable) non-standard ethernet connectors.

For people replacing an existing internet connection with starlink, the cost of swapping out the existing (perfectly good) cable and antenna mount dwarfs the retail (and even manufacturing) cost of the dish.

Also, they don't document the electrical requirements for the ethernet cable, so people end up guessing, forcing it to turn on the on-board heater, then checking for voltage droop.

Even oversubscribed, they're better than most rural ISP options though.

I agree that the starlink customer support people are extremely overworked. In my experience, they're also completely incompetent.

The "impossible to update out of date firmware" issue is ridiculous, especially since they specifically market the RV service for use cases where you buy the dish and then pause the service for the 11.5 months of the year when you're not using your RV.
I very much prefer this simple method:

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles

tl;dr: it puts the .git directory aside and lets you use it to store any files on your filesystem.

All the usual commands work, except you use something like `config` or `dofiles` instead of `git`:

$ config add ~/.config
$ config commit -m initial\ commit

It's pretty much the same as creating a git repository in /, but doesn't mess with your normal git usage (so if you run `git status` in `/home/foo/src/my-awesome-project` and git repository has not been created there yet, git will fail with "not a git repository" and won't show you the contents of your whole filesystem tree).
Not an answer but could you share some past threads you mentioned, discussing tools people use? I'd love to compare notes, so to speak.

As for me I've got a note for random thoughts, acts as a dumping ground, and other notes titled by categories for organising into later.

The thing with note taking is it's so reflective of how people think, so it's not always easy to adapt exactly to what others suggest. But still worth looking at and getting ideas.
You could probably do it with BRIN indexes similar to how TimescaleDB handles their time-series hypertables
> "Eugenics was a failure because it fundamentally misunderstands human development and behavior. We now have strong evidence that nurture and social expectations play a bigger role in behavior and outcomes than your genetics"

Wait - you think the problem with eugenics is that it was ineffective? I think we need to talk a lot more about eugenics.
That sounds pretty good until you've had the same discussion 37 times. Having the same discussion for the 38th time does not feel like a conversation; it feels a denial of service attack.

"We don't do that here" actually seems like a great way to express this. Discussion is not verboten in general; this is just not the place for it.
Where's the argument? It makes broad claims about the languages, that many people would disagree with, with no substantiation.
As the father of a 5 year old, correct me if I’m wrong but don’t kids need to interact with other kids in meatspace?

What is with this dystopian vision people keep pushing that has everything virtual? Why would anybody want to live in that?
I have to say, as someone who very much believes as you do (no after life or anything related).

The idea of this kinda scares me? I have never been under anesthesia, but I have kinda accepted that at some point in the not too distant future I will likely need to be for my knees and/or carpal tunnel.

But something about being under it basically being like experiencing death just, it reinforces those fears even more of not waking up.

Like you know it's a possibility, but the connection is a bit of a jarring one.

It is times like this that I understand why religion is so strong. Having the belief that when you do die that you will live on... would be one hell of a comforting one.
Yeah I agree about that. I actually didn't figure out what it can do and how it can be used until I watched a few youtube videos watching other people actually use it and then it clicked. The video that helped me get a vision of ways I can use it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN6tjeQfxRc This is nitpicking but I wish there were more videos of people just using PKM systems without all the talking about philosophy of note taking etc. A lot of the video was "... wait, you can do that? I want to do that. How the hell did she do that?" which is a good way to learn the tool, but can be frustrating.

Of note: My mode of writing is to collect/generate messes of ideas and then clean them up and organize them iteratively to create structure and polish. I'm one of the people who used to write on index cards and then compose by rearranging them on my bed. I loved abusing Word's outline mode for rough drafts and restructuring and refactoring text and have been trying to explain the missing functionality to OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice for over a decade ("we have outline mode you just click the thing" "no it's not about creating an outline of document structure" "hey we improved outline check it out see if it looks better" loops). So when I saw some of logseq in action it was an "omg this looks even better than Word's outline mode" sort of thing. The next thing I wish logseq would do is allow you to double click to explode paragraphs and temporarily separate sentences into bullets for processing and reorganizing.

I use EditPadLite because it has a tabbed interface and save my notes as client-name-website.ext-notes.txt. Then when I'm done with the notes, I toss them.

These notes usually consist out of code I want to save for a bit to study it further, bits of CSS I've fiddled with in Developer Tools and still need to implement, or some notes I've written down during the occasional phone call I have. I use it as a second brain, because I can't remember all that stuff anymore now that I'm about to hit 40.
Comparisons to 1984 are hack, but I seem to remember that in the book the telescreens were described as something that people willingly bought.
We could be entering the spirit world but not retain any memories from it.
We don't have testable theories here, we have Mad Libs.

A virus of (human)/(animal) origin was (un)intentionally (released)/(spread)/(detected) in Wuhan, starting at a (lab)/(market).

Narrative 1: Animal origin with extensive spread in a food market

Narrative 2: Animal origin with accidental release from lab study

Narrative 3: Intentional creation/modification of a virus for purposes of scientific study and subsequent (un)intentional release

Narrative 4: Intentional creation/modification of a virus for nefarious purposes with (un)intentional release

Narrative 5: Animal origin with slow undetected community spread somewhere and possibly random mutation that lead to more viral fitness in Wuhan.

What would actually change if you had certainty around one of these theories? Are you certain that there will not be a zoonotic viral pandemic in the future? If you aren't certain that there will never be a zoonotic pandemic again, then we should ramp up vector and disease surveillance.

Also, China has had no problem disciplining people that cause trouble and embarrassment. If they thought someone caused this, that person is fucking gone.
For nest thermostats, they advertise that their cloud based algorithm uses your phone location and occupancy sensor data to switch between “home” and “away” set points, so they have to be sending the sensor readings to the cloud. From there I can’t understand why they wouldn’t log those.

This is exactly the kind of know-it-all behavior I am complaining about.

It is beyond a condemnation that a professional such has yourself has not developed a sense for "authority X recommends Y but everybody is doing Z, there's probably a reason for that".

Split lock washers persist because they are a cheap way to get a decent amount of preload into a bolted joint without torquing the bolt very much relative to typical torque values for fasteners of that size. For highly price sensitive widgets where the nature of the joint means it flex/vibrate too much for "nothing" to not be a acceptable solutions split lock washer is often the cheapest acceptable solution. I understand why NASA says "no locking value". That's a fine rule of thumb for what they do. But they're not making value priced widgets. Having a fastener maintain preload has "locking" value in many practical real world applications.
I have a recurring nightmare where this exact thing happens - I’m back at MIT as a second semester senior and realize I don’t have enough credits to graduate. Happy to see this was the start of a wonderful journey for you! Now, if only I could convince my subconscious brain as much…
Why, in any sane moral scheme, should women be forced to display skin on the beach? Why is "skin shy" a problem that the state should step in to solve? Let them be free to dress how they want on the beach. (But then, I guess France has a problem with letting them dress how they want other places, too...)
It is so that a key attached to a compromised system can't be used remotely.
Rust adoption very much seems to be ramping up within the really big companies. Google talking about it both for Android and Chrome, FB with a ton of things, Apple had uses for it I think but I'm blanking on what, Amazon is using it for at least some new AWS infrastucture...
> who is gonna think to go through your snack food

Your kids and your houseguests, that's who!
I completely agree. This answer should be the last resort in situations just like mentioned in the article.

But when the situation is completely different, if a new comer is a new grad joining the company and "that" behavior is just a mild disagreement, this wording should 100% be avoided and only should be used if you would like to cut ties with the person.

Oh that's a hassle indeed and totally bad for business because it gives the client the 'opportunity' to rethink their expenses each month. Thanks for explaining this!
By now, Hack has a lot of Facebook-specific features, most of which will never make their way into PHP.
Peak time speeds are definitely a bit lower than when I was one of the only customers in the area, but it's still very good. Almost always >50Mbps, which is faster than the DSL alternative available.
I think you're taking this way further than anyone actually involved would. IF what you're saying ever did even come close to occurring, we both know Google would shut it down quickly. Not just because it's horrible, but because it's also bad for business, and they've shown a propensity to protect data when it would be used as you hypothesize here.

Google is smart enough to know that "snitching" on its users is bad for business.

Think "track a burglar as he moves through a neighborhood" not "snoop (illegally) on the contents of people's mail".
I was fortunate enough to visit it the year before it caught on fire.

It's just a cathedral, I thought, just an attraction to check off from my 'list of things to see' so I visited it on a whim really on a lazy Sunday afternoon while I was around the area. Oh man, there is something about it, the grandness, the structure. The rebuild appears to going for a very faithful reconstruction of what it was before.

Definitely go see it if you get the chance.
I think a lot of commenters here are missing the point that your workplace is not an appropriate place to hold political debates. Just treat each other with respect and do your job.
No it's not. It's just a list of opinions without any actual arguments.
My argument here is that centralized, top-down, authoritarian, and violently enforced changes in language are a different and separate issue from decentralized, gradual, and unenforced (or, at worst, socially enforced) ones, since that's how language has usually changed.

> Post-Weimar Germany.

Very post. 1984 was written in 1948, notably after the fall of Nazi Germany. It was about the dangers of authoritarianism and how authoritarians can use their control of the academy and the media to increase their control on the rest of society, not the dangers of people asking their coworkers to change the name of a Git branch.
community.fly.io is the best place to ask about this.

More like 1983. This was me at our local Sears department store, loading up every demo BASIC computer with digital vandalism.
I have no clue about the process but if I had to guess I imagine it has something to do with the chemicals not being evenly distributed either by inexperience, some sort of mask used before chemical exposure to achieve the effect, or the process is just prone to doing that.
The answer is "no".

If the system refuses to face truth, you will need to circumvent the system. The opposite of that gives us institutions that are continually disseminating lies, in the process undermining trust in institutions.

Truth doesn't get "invited to conversations". It is always part of it, and the choice is just spoken or unspoken.
That is exactly how we learned it too and I can't figure out why people don't use these correctly.

Another one for "than" is also if you can replace it with "instead of". "Rather than learning the language, he went to a football game". Not "Rather - then learning the language later - he went to a football game first". Well actually there 'then' is correct but I had to make a broken up sentence that you would never write but you might say it. If you want to tell someone about this, you start with 'rather' then think of explaining first that he did go learn afterwards so you interject your own sentence and then go on. But when writing you have enough time to form a proper sentence.

Of course auto correction can play a role nowadays. I wrote "of" more often recently and a typoed "ofg" might be corrected to "of" and not "off". Sure.

Now what I do understand is that native speakers actually forget the rules meaning the "why" something is correct. After a while you can usually just tell what's correct. It just "sounds right" and you can't explain it to someone else.
That seems like a very absolutist statement ;)
But yes, that's how I mostly feel as well. There's another part of me that questions, if I ever really had principles, if I can change them when things get scary.
> The letter I, for example, would be referred to with the phrase I per se, I, which means in Latin "I by itself (is the word) I." When the 27th quasi-letter & was referred to it was called & per se, and, meaning "& by itself (is the word) and." That read as "and per se and."

This explanation is mixed up and confusing. It isn't "I per se, I" that is somehow "by itself I", it is merely "per se I". The reason you get another "and" in front was because it was at the end of the alphabet song: "[and] [per se &]".

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ampersand

> Thus the end of the recitation would be: “X, Y, Z and per se and”. This last phrase eventually became ampersand, and the term was in common English usage by around 1837.

I have met people multiple times who will call someone the opposite of whatever's on their pronoun pin (if they have one)

I was asking for clarification and got it. What's the problem with that?
I think this dogmatic take is pretty useless. For the vast majority of people icloud is a QoL increase that is worth not “owning” our data. All Apple does with our data is keep it safe (CSAM not included), but I would love to be proven wrong.
It seems really hit-or-miss. Nearer cities, cells seem to have that 'rush-hour' problem. More rural areas don't, as often.

Some of it probably comes from whether a particular ground station (there aren't very many still, per cell at least) is saturated by traffic from a metro area or not.

The author is taking part in the current trend of implicitly (and without consent) grouping people into a “we”, or a “community”. It’s presumptuous, and it weakens the individual’s opportunities to think critically and grow their powers of reason. Hard pass on the nonsense offered by this author.

Dying stars still have a big gravity well.
- markdown

- saved in git

- transformed by pandoc (and some filters)

- for text, trees, list/table data, local and global URLs/references

But above all: don't use anything to organize your thoughts

You will not figure things out better using outlines or mind-maps or blog entries or ontologies or equations or chats.

Think your thoughts until they are compressed from mud to diamonds.

Then their structure and media will be clear, and the unending task of conveying them to others can begin. You'll find organization is driven not by author but by audience.
I love hacking stuff. Hardware, software, whatever. Its one of the few things that get me engaged the way I was when I first got into programming. Unfortunately, I also lack the patience.

Thanks for the feedback. I also neglected to mention that I still use POP on many of these accounts to store/control my emails locally.

I had no idea everything2 was still alive! Nice surprise
IDK if it's what you're looking for but I'll share some of my stuff.

The specifics depend on what I'm doing, but still I find that I return to the same structural patterns a lot, I developed what I call a "Unified Experiencing Template":

https://pastebin.com/hvRutW9u

I use this for notetaking, organizing new learning projects, hobbies, and other contexts.

The Current Position section generally encourages me to move items from the log up into a more structured position of understanding or momentum. This also helps to work around the trap--subjective taxonomy or journal format? You can end up with both and in a lot of cases that's really what I'm looking for.

I have a script that parses files for +crp to help me keep up with whatever I'm working on / thinking about.

I also take notes in the to-do list zone using my Task BATL format (profile) using elements like time estimation, so this format shows up in my notes really often:

- FF xsc (5m)
- F-x xsc Hydrate (1m)
- F-x xsc Eat a pop-tart (1m)
- F-x xsc Go for a hike (3m, get camera ready)
- VV xsc (15m)
- V-/_ xsc Watch some more of the film you checked out on Hoopla (15m)
- TT _sc (?)
- T-/_ _sc Email to schedule the call for Monday
- T-/_ _sc Plan next 2-3 steps for backup changes

The first items, FF, are comfort- or body-support items. VV would be items related to ongoing development of personal interests and values. TT would be work or more normal / boring checklist items.

The xsc / _sc indicates whether I've got the next step's time estimated and/or schedule blocked out for the item.

Other note-taking stuff...if I'm taking notes, the format, amount, and organization method also depends on the output-format's (speaker's, presenter's, book's, etc.) psychology and how it relates to my intake-psychology, but that's getting into weird stuff.

If I'm in a hurry I take notes on paper in shorthand or on a digital device in shorthand. l cg f cr would be "oil change for car" etc. My handwriting for this is kind of a mix of Teeline, Gregg, Ford, Japanese, and some of my own stuff.

I also found that sometimes what's needed is just the "expression of information" similar to the expression of feelings. Saving the notes is not so important. What's important is getting it out. So at these times I'll journal by writing shorthand on my lap while sitting, chest while hiking (holding my shoulder bag strap) etc. Similar to Ted Nelson's anywhere-keyboard but without the keyboard. And the notetaking product of this is more like an idea, resolution, or summed-up organization of things.
> Debate cannot exist one sided, so if the person is intent on "debating" a simple, "we can take this offline later", or "its not up for discussion" usually clears things up.

Perhaps you could try the phrase "we don't do that here"

I don't think it's a coincidence that the pandemic started in Wuhan, but probably not in the way you're thinking: Wuhan is the largest railway hub in all of China [1]. And that's likely the reason why both the institute and the market were situated there in the first place.
