"I remember in my college chemistry classes, we were instructed never to tear off or hide any error we made in our lab notebooks. Instead, we should mark it with a strikethrough. "

+1 OMG Chemistry notebooks FTW. I was always a pencil person and when the professor literally made us cross out our mistakes it felt gross to see the wasted space for 'nonsense', so inefficient. Only later I come to realize that all creation is not for naught. Observations made and recorded for the record are invaluable when seen from a different time perspective. If DNA can have built in redundancy, then evolution is revealing a good lesson to replicate for note taking as well.

People's time horizons are too short when thinking about so called 'ultimate' note taking/brainstorming/productivity solutions. What system did Grace Hopper use? Feynmann?

I can take a trip to Mom's and fetch that chemistry notebook to retrieve that 1980s information. No retro hardware, searching for encryption keys, old floppy disk/zip drive media players, no defunct internet companies to contact about 'my' data, proprietary formats to parse, etc. Open that 40 year old notebook and read it.

To be sure, I own the iPads/android tablets, note apps, desktop apps, wikis, cloud services and other digital debris that in the end is/was wasted friction, $$$ and energy. Too many dependencies.

I stick with a low-end laptop with plain text on vim and emacs -nox and (mobile) self-made paper notebooks and enjoyable wonderful fountain pens [1] I'm really trying to look back toward memory like the ancients but that is the ultimate practice.[2]

Life is too short to conform to digital tools. Enjoy both! There is much forgotten freedom to be rediscovered with the analog hand.

It's not the person, it's the system. The market for attention makes the choice, iteratively. If this product manager doesn't do it, his numbers go to shit and he's fired to be replaced with that product manager, with a "better" track record. Who will employ all the dark patterns he can get away with, and keep his track record "stellar".
If you mean to only skip one specific occurrence at 03:00 exactly then, yes, it can’t be done in a single line.
Search the dictionary for "subset." The nuclear family is a subset of larger families; if 3 generations live together the nuclear family is still present.

-------

RE:
>With that approach then all nuclear families contain subset single-parent and childless families as well.

Yes, now you understand. Someone saying nuclear families do well is not saying extended families do worse. Your premise is completely a straw man.

-------

>If we go with this "subset" logic and nuclear families are the best because they are a subset of extended families, then the best outcomes for children are single orphaned people without children because they are subsets of every family.

This is another strawman. You made the assertion about extended families, not op. Op was talking about nuclear families. If the extended family includes the nuclear family, then necessarily a statement made about the nuclear family still applies to the child contained in that family.

No one said they were better because they are a subset, they're saying the superset of the subset is not said to be worse. That is, a nuclear family is not said to be worse than an orphan child. It's entirely an argument of your own making to imply one is saying the superset is worse than the subset, when nothing of the sort was implied.

------

>There are no supersets of a nuclear family that are worse than the nuclear family?

I'm sure there are. Just because no one is saying it is objectively worse doesn't mean there aren't cases where it is worse. Not claiming that something is worse is different than claiming that it is never worse.

>There are possibly properties of a nuclear family that only exist when it is a singular nuclear family and those don't necessarily extend to every superset, which is why I asked my original question.

Yes the bizarre thing was your accusation:

>Really? We know this for a fact that the nuclear family is better than extended families or group co-housing arrangements for children?

OP never claimed that a nuclear family inside of an extended family was worse.
seems like they just need a judge to force the NSA to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request, its just part of the process

I'm stonewalled on an equivalent Public Record Act request w/ a state, and am kind of annoyed that I have to use the state's court system

Sure, but safety-critical development is a different domain than vulnerability research.
>But it's very narrow in what it can achieve desktop-comparable speeds on when it comes to heavy workloads

Very generally, Java is one of those things. CPU performance is really, really good for non-rosetta workloads.

I agree though that despite Apple's wild claims the general GPU performance isn't that good - not that it's bad for very quiet laptop.
I personally think that is a bit of a cop out. Most developers should be able to do basic tasks in a system that has been setup by an expert user.

I think bazel is an ok example of this. Its a pretty complex build system but expert users can build macros and rules that the average developer can consume without having to know a ton about everything that is happening.

IMO the ability to do the above at some level is the sign of well crafted software.
I think you're misreading. HNT was the original token and was a new chain. Data credits are just how the outside world burns those credits at a fixed price, so that they don't need to know about crypto. Not a token.

And Nova Labs doesn't get any of that onboarding money. That is burned by the network.
Yes, because the sriracha can be confirmed to exist.

It's interesting that what I read there is just a company saying "hey, we have this nice TODO app that interfaces with your development tools". There's nothing there about developers management, freedom or anything else.

I know, I have a pallet of spare parts including a disassembled gearbox, heads, valve trains and model specific parts because if I break any of it on my car there’s no going down the the parts store. If I drop second gear it’s nearby fatal for my car.

An ev would be better than this and in comparison to a modern ice, much much better.

As for being jellybeans, sure roller bearings you can spend an hour searching a part catalog and find something similar. But those aren’t the ones I keep spares or would swap over from my spare parts box.

Even engine bearings are becoming hard to find now on a once reasonably popular motor
This was pretty disappointing. To see FreedomFi not own up to the fact that 4g vs 5g is misleading... with their excuse that everyone else is doing it.

There are a lot of tools to help change your online behavior. For instance, iPhone has the ScreenTime feature. I block reddit from 9am-6pm and only give myself 15 minutes of reddit outside of that. Turns out 15 minutes is more than sufficient to get your fill of reddit. Only my partner knows the password to the screentime feature, so if I try to unlock it outside of the rules I set, I have to ask her.

You are not going to change your behavior until you really understand how negatively it's affecting your life. For me, once I cut out basically all social media, all talk radio, all youtube, my ADD symptoms improved considerably. From my personal experience, this stuff seemed to just wreck my brain and motivation. It was so surprising personally how much better my life got when I just stopped fucking scrolling
In-fighting here is characterized as the strange differences between Wayland and x11. It's perfectly fine if the Wayland developers don't want to focus on building a desktop window server, but they shouldn't position themselves as the dominant player if they're not going to make it work well for everyone. wlroots doesn't solve this in a meaningful way, and the aversion to adding meaningful features permanently positions Wayland as a worse window server than, say, Quartz.

If x11 developers don't want to build x11 anymore, fine. I have no problem with those contributors walking away. They shouldn't try to replace a passenger jet with a helicopter though, just because they "both fly" doesn't mean they achieve the same purposes or have the same design principles.

Yes, that is why the myth of invention as a brilliant and isolated act of creation is harmful. We create new things by by recombining what we have experienced. Patents ignore the derivative nature of invention while weaponizing being first to file for an idea.
So, I take it that the "decentralized" aspect of all this stuff really comes into play when all of the server hardware is surgically implanted into our limbs!
There is no data because no one studied it, at least from what I've read.

We're pretty sure that multigenerational households lead to less loneliness and less strictly individualistic people than nuclear families, but it's hard to prove it without a proper study.

EDIT: Dealing with ailing grandparents is a very situational problem, but I think that effects nuclear families just as much.
I agree, it's very petty. Engineers should keep their personal vendettas out of business.
Off stage, within the 2.4 ghz ocean: the audience. Your point is well taken that spectrum saturation will be an issue. Low range/power consumption, not centralization are the driving factors in the design. Thanks for the share!

Good god, this guy is a bad communicator. Bottom line up front:

> NIST has produced zero records in response to this [March 2022] FOIA request [to determine whether/how NSA may have influenced NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Project]. Civil-rights firm Loevy & Loevy has now filed suit on my behalf in federal court, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, to force NIST to comply with the law.

Edit: Yes, I know who DJB is.
Who said anything about silicon? Maybe AGI will be built on our current bread of processors or maybe the next generation. The only way i see you can be correct is if today's exponential technological advancements come to a halt or reverse. I do not foresee a future where we do not eventually create an AGI superior to us. Maybe in 5 years time, maybe in a 100. But it is coming.
One of the problems with boomer grandparents is that their average expectations around helping with childcare (i.e., minimal) are quite different than grandparents of the past. Due to the ongoing drop in incomes, boomers (and gen Xers) are more likely to be financially supporting their gen x (and millenial) kids than vice versa, which means they are less willing to "earn their way" with childcare.
Completely wrong.
Gabriel, whilst you’re answering questions here, I have one slightly tangential question and it’s as follows: why does DDG not have a warrant canary?

I’m skeptical of using the service since it’s a US based service and the US doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to privacy.

For this reason I only ever use DDG combined with an anonymous mixer service like Tor. It would be trivial for bad actors to be placed in your data center and tie specific IPs to particular searches, no?
Bingo. Audio religion begging to be marketed to.
I think it's a gray area, and requires balance. Just because someone hasn't used the app in a month doesn't mean they forgot about it. Too frequent notifications like this would be obnoxious. On the other hand, if they did forget about it, then you should definitely let them know they're still paying for it. Honestly, the best way to go about it might just be to split the subscription model into monthly payments (even if it's an annual subscription, for instance) and then send a notification whenever they're charged. That way it's the same reminder, but it's more of "hey, here's something for your records, we've taken your money" instead of "hey, hey, poke poke, use our app".
In 2021, on the MoFi page, about their one-step process:

MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers.

Today:

MFSL engineers begin with the original master recordings, painstakingly transfer them to DSD 256, and meticulously cut a set of lacquers.

Meanwhile, Michael Fremer, "the dean of audiophile writing":

I’ve now spoken to someone who would know and who confirmed, out of necessity off the record for now, that in 2018 Mobile Fidelity cut lacquers using analog master tapes (not copies). Will speculative click bait YouTube videos claiming otherwise be taken down after reading this?

Basically, you take a programming language and make it work on a platform that meant to be programmed using a different PL. Clojure is hosted by design - it's not Java, but can be used to program for JVM. It ain't Javascript, yet can be used to target nodejs and browser; not an [official] CLR language, but you can write .Net programs. You can use Clojure to make Flutter apps with ClojureDart. You can integrate Python into Clojure with libpython-clj. Or write Clojure to target Erlang/OTP; or Rust; or R; There's even a clojure-like language for Lua - Fennel.

There's something about Clojure people like so much, they want it to work atop any platform.

Ask HN: Best way to let a user create a link inside a text input
I'm developing a flowcharting tool which lets users enter text inside each node. I want to allow you to highlight a bit of text and make it a link, by entering a url. Much like google docs and most other popular text editors. For a v1 I implemented this using prosemirror [0] which is pretty straight forward. The downside is that prosemirror is highly complex and introduces a large dependency. It also requires you to store data in their custom format. I'm trying to find another library, or tips on rolling my own, for simple link creation so I don't have to pull in code for all the other fancy things prosemirror does.

Eventually I may add other rich text editing features, like hash tags, @ mentions, etc. But I would rather start simple and resort to prosemirror when I really need it.

Here's an interesting question. Even if post-quantum cryptography is securely implemented, doesn't the advent of neurotechnology (BCIs, etc.) make that method of security obsolete?

With read and write capability to the brain, assuming this comes to fruition at some point, encryption as we know it won't work anymore. But I don't know, maybe this isn't something we have to worry about just quite yet.
I have been keeping sketchbooks since 2010, where I decided "this is something I'm going to do forever". I have started another "I'm doing this forever"-project where I started writing daily in 2020, my obsidian vault linked below is the result. Ask me again in 10 years.

I do a lot of digital notetaking currently, along with more analog index card and sketchbook notetaking. I stopped drawing in 2018 due to work burnout, but hope to pick it back up soon!

Same potential for completely ruining kids, if not worse.
You're never going to have a high R value throughout a whole house, the best you can do is to maximize it where you can. Windows and doors provide very little insulation as well.
People at MIT like Seymour Papert were aghast that BASIC became the dominant programming language for education in the 8-bit age, they were hoping they could push out LOGO as a new standard but it did not get a lot of traction.

Three years later Byte ran a special issue on LOGO which I thought was one of the best issues of Byte ever

https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1982-08

in particular it had some great reviews of LOGO implementations for different home computers some of which were pretty strange like the TRS-80 Coco and the TI-99/4A. It was very close to the cultural peak of the 1980s before Michael Jackson dropped off the charts, the Atari 2600 went down without being immediately replaced (unless you count the C-64), etc. Byte was a lively magazine so long as the market was split up between a wide range of computers but it never really found it's niche in a world dominated by the IBM PC at the high end and the C-64 at the low end.

Speaking of which, LISP never really caught on in the 8-bit era. This issue has some articles about how you would do so but it didn't seem to shoehorn so well into a tiny machine (like the 1k of RAM on the Sinclair ZX80) as BASIC did. From the viewpoint of a kid who just learned BASIC, FORTH seemed to offer a lot of what LISP did and it was very available, even if it was a few weeks of assembly coding to write a FORTH.
You said that Taiwan's language and writing system made them Chinese. By that reasoning, the US would be English. But thanks for clarifying that sharing a language and writing system with another country, doesn't necessarily make you part of that country.
If you expand the boundary of end user privacy services to "browser extensions," isn't the most intellectually honest answer to have people use an EasyList-adjacent accelerated solution, like uBlock Origin or AdGuard on mobile? That is certainly the consensus here. Is anything in the blog post an improvement compared to that offering?

That's why I'm asking about Startpage. Why do you think DuckDuckGo uniquely got put into a position of jeopardy - something more than scrutiny - when others did not?
> The experiments showed that when using BR/EDR’s 2 Mb/s, the practical throughput were on average 0.786 Mb/s. [...] Meanwhile, when using BLE’s 1M PHY, the average throughput were around 0.522 Mb/s and 0.938 Mb/s when using 2M PHY. The bit rate speed for the BR/EDR 1Mb/s mode were at an average of 0.104 Mb/s. Using these results, it shows that on average, the BR/EDR throughput speeds are faster than the BLE throughput speeds.

I'm probably misunderstanding what the author intended here, but this just seems wrong. 0.104Mb/s (BR/EDR 1 Mb/s mode) is not faster than 0.522Mb/s (BLE 1M mode), nor is 0.786Mb/s (BR/EDR 2 Mb/s mode) faster than 0.938Mb/s (BLE 2M mode). I can't see how you would reach the conclusion that BR/EDR is faster "on average" than BLE with those results unless you're also factoring in BR/EDR's 3 Mb/s mode in some way, even though there is no BLE equivalent to compare it to.
He was allowed to do due diligence, he chose not too. People said it was dumb at the time.
Maybe I'm way off base here, but this seems like a really really niche solution for a situation you probably(?) won't be in for long.

You have a single DB running on a single machine. But you also care this much about write performance that you need sequential ids. How much longer is that single DB going to work for you, if write performance has become an issue? I wonder. Because soon you might need to shard, which you will lose sequential ids and benefit of spatial locality right? There seems a narrow band of operation where you're seeing the benefit of performance from sequential ids but can still function on a single DB instance. I feel like you may be painting yourself into an architectural corner and a headache rather than just doing the easy thing first and using UUID.
Finally, I can feel like I'm in Westworld.
