Tell HN: Windows Phone Man
Yes it's finally happened, a Window's phone project has come down the pipe. Maybe you did a thing in Unity, and C# is C#.

You were the self taught college drop out. Mostly regulated to manual testing or dev ops , you kept asking about Windows phone.

It happens. A client who actually uses Windows phone, finally, your chance to shine your chance to show that iOS hotshot who gets all the attention just because she programs on the platform people actually use.

You do the proof of concept for the client, the iOS hotshot gives you a high five. And then nothing, nothing. Nothing, this is how you were going to become a real engineer right. The windows phone project was going to become a Hallmark, rather the flagship project of our company.

Okay cool, you asked the tech lead about the next windows phone project. He says any day now, any day now
Unfortunately they also have the problem that the very innovative higher level Googlers leave from boredom and/or glass ceilings at the company.
On iOS this suddenly wanted to open a page in Mail. You have been warned.
is this related to the browser or do they have a standalone website for search? Never knew about it, looks like its https://search.brave.com/
i am so obsessed with writing notes. like, i literally document everything. like everything.
it's not like writing diary at end of the day. it's like taking notes you are going through.
i am so obsessed, i try to reach out for my mobiles as fast as possible something happen.
it's like, i am writing what i am thinking...
and it's only for one reason for my future partner, that's all. i want to share everything with her. no matter what...
i know it's so much she can't even read everything.
also, one i meet her, these notes will be redirected towards her, so kind of no notes, what better that direct convo with her even with messages.... :)

i am waiting so much........
For the views which state “swipes control snake”, is it part of the gag that by and large swipes do nothing? Or is that because I was too hasty loading nihilism?
I’ve thought about it, and you are probably mostly roght, though I don’t think the poster was trying to take a “victory lap around anyone.
Which is fine; it just didn’t make sense as written. It looked to me like the mfg made layouts for two chips, but the blog writer implied one chip would not work as in would never work. Obviously it does, and the problem was actually missing discrete components elsewhere.

Not really, Smalltalk was influenced by the work being done to add OOP to Interlisp-D at Xerox PARC, LOOPS.

https://interlisp.org/saved.html#history

Besides Common Lisp, the only languages that have anything on their object model that resembles CLOS are Dylan, Clojure and now Julia.
I haven't found any problems using GTK bindings in Rust. It is actually easier and nicer than in C, especially with additional support like relm4 (but even the manual approach is good enough). Who said GUI must be OOP?
I need to use printf to interpret the escape character:

Okay, now tell me why I would use this instead of installing LTSC.
What are these seL4 limitations?
Yeah, it’s a real problem, but for the masses, which once compromised are used as further vectors for attack, sensible auto update seems smart

The problem now is how to make it safer
If you think about it, this is probably the most ecologically friend method of clearing scrub and weeds. No chemicals involved!

The only thing I wonder about is whether the weed seeds would regrow. But I’d imagine clearing it on the second round would be easier.

Yes, general relativity is extremely well supported by the evidence.
In my state if I photograph a wedding and give the client a flash drive of the photos, I need to charge them sales tax on the entire wedding. If I just deliver the photos online, there’s no sales tax.

If they (or a family member) later purchase prints through their online gallery that are essentially drop shipped to them? Who the hell knows.

Certainly Einstein's being born into a highly competent engineering-company family didn't hurt him any. Parents do know that if you teach well, the kid's think they did it all themselves. I'm highly amused that you're being downvoted for having done some research that provides context. That'll teach ya :) I voted for ya, but it didn't change the color of your comment.
It might also work with "echo -e".
would also like to hear from DDG ppl. On another note, Really appreciate DDG's map functionality using apple map with iaxm query parameter set "maps" and q set to whatever you want to search for:

It is refreshing to be able to use a usable map on tor without having to accept google big term of service.
I grew up nearly the same. Built many of my own tools from what I could find literally laying around.

Please take my comment here as my experiences shared in the hope you get something good from them. It's nothing more than that, and it's worth what you paid too.

Fast forward many years:

Today I'm working on an advanced additive manufacturing machine in a company I and a friend started. I'm doing electronics, working with advanced CNC machines, writing some code, and doing a lot of stuff that was hobby type dreaming a decade and change ago.

The team is largely people who really enjoy the electromechanical world, some have gone to school, some haven't. Nobody cares about any of that. We all want to make something cool happen.

When I took my first job, I began to also take up hobbies. Spent a number of years in manufacturing, during which I did a lot of computing on whatever computers I could get my hands on, or seat time with. Next job was CAD related, and I spent time on electronics again.

Wash, rinse, repeat a few times and those hobbies are real!

Each one ended up adding to the set of things I can do and as that set expanded, and as my circle of friends and professional contacts expanded, so did my potential opportunities. Get the skill, look for an opening to do it professionally, do it, get help if you need to, wash, rinse, repeat.

I think about what I can get done now and how it might pay me and those close to me. That stuff is real.

At one point in my life, I could see some real opportunity, but I was going to have to lean into it. So I quit modern gaming. This was big! I do retro, and play the occasional title I find interesting, but pushing that out of the front row in my life both hurt and was amazing!

See, I got bored. And that's how a lot of good stuff starts. The amazing part was finding out that being bored means I'm also receptive to learning new things. And doing stuff is a lot more fun than thinking about it all is too.

If I think about what I could have done, if... I get depressed. And that stuff is fantasy.

So I just don't do that.

Maybe this helps you some.

Look, there is no doubt luck plays a big role in our lives. No joke.

I can also say that if you invest in yourself, network with others and essentially expand your receptivity to luck, your chance of experiencing some goes up and with that come opportunities.

I do take some pride in the fact that I really did get a lot of my skills the hard way. Same with any money. And if times get tough, I really do know how to deal and can do that, am used to doing that, to a much greater degree than many of these lucky people might be. And helping others get things done often lead to them helping me.

We all need a little help. Give and get. That's the rule.

One can have a significant impact on the world, and many people without any of those nice things.

Consider making it all about what you can do and what that can mean. You will be very likely to do more than you think and it will mean more than you expect it to. Ask me how I know. :)
this is for people who are already on a non-ltsc model...

i have a problem with LTSC though, it constantly wants to install "security updates" which fucks up my rdpwrap....

is there a way to disable that?
Tangentially related: the German news portal kino.de which is run by a "real" publisher and has news all around cinema, movies, streaming, has this article[1] about illegal streaming services where they try to suggest legal alternatives that cost little money and sometimes even have an ad-supported limited free tier. The bizarre thing is that they go through great lengths in their first paragraph to list over a dozen of those illegal streaming sites as examples. It's like, every time your favorite illegal streaming site is down, just go to kino.de to get a list of available alternatives.

What the?

The comment I replied (and the article itself) seem to imply that, if you monetize via advertising, that your business isn't really about whatever you say it is. I was replying that I fail to see how that's different from non-advertising-fueled businesses.

For example, Facebook isn't really about connecting people, but a hypothetical competitor with the exact same feature set that charged a subscription fee instead of running ads would be about connecting people?

Yes, Java is basically the semantics of Smalltalk/Objective-C, with the syntax of C++.

The way dynamic code works (classloader, reflection), methods being virtual by default, interfaces, the JAR archives (think NeXT app bundles),... all that is Smalltalk/Objective-C influence.
I agree that Markdown is probably an inferior markup format compared to org but serious usage of org is tied to Emacs. Moreover, Markdown (or CommonMark) has an extremely healthy ecosystem and a lot of tools that make life easier, unlike org mode. The most popular static site generators also use Markdown and RST.

Unless using Emacs becomes a user friendly beginner's choice (which it isn't, and that's fine) or Org is able to distinguish itself in isolation from Emacs, I don't see org being widely used anytime soon. If org gains first class support in editors like neovim, vscode and tools like pandoc, mdcat etc, I could see myself using it.
That maybe true (do we really have precise enough numbers for that?), but they are of the same magnitude order, which is the problem.
Weird thing is, you can strengthen this muscle. After years of academia I became able to sit in presentation after presentation and listen to every detail.

At first I could do it for 20 mins, and after a decade I could listen to about 2 or 3 days worth.

It was mostly inane nonsense designed to further someone’s career rather than actual science, but still I could pay attention almost perfectly for hours on end.

In industry I see people switching off after 20 mins in presentations that are actually interesting! Just need to work out your ears.
This is why I want to write my book called "The Carnivore Panacea" -- because there is so much disinformation out there on diet and many people are just slack-jawed when they hear that some study is associated with the Harvard School of Public Health.

Let me assure you that they should be slack-jawed, but not at the rigor of the publication, but at the fact that anything from such an ideologically driven vegan clown show would be considered worthy of publication.

This is a solid project OP, creating a note taking app with so many options and yet not make it feel cluttered(even if it looks like it) is very difficult. Kudos to your team to building something thats so well thought out but heres my thoughts about note taking in general.

I use OneNote and Obsidian, and I am unable to stick to one mostly because OneNote's free form structure is really helpful in brainstorming, creating notes and doing research. Most of my notebooks and pages are filled with research sub pages and a final page that distills all that. So for me from quick note taking to creating well filled noteboks, OneNote does most of it. But it lacks a way to inter connect the notes, yes [[]] exists but its not that good once you try connecting more things and OneNote's search is just very basic.

But Obsidian's interconnected and search feature is really well done to create polished notes. So I end up using that too for creating my final notes. Also markdown is just beautiful.

I see a bit of both is happening in Curio but I am not a fan of all the plugins and integrations it seems to be having (based on screenshots and demos). This is a no no for me, it just makes porting or even exporting notes elsewhere really difficult as the context is lost.

The whole idea of creating Notes and its app is the way you start using it based on the App's features and if that app is making me re structure the way I create notes then it should also have a way to work off context devoid of its features. I understand Curio is trying to be and one Notebook App to rule'em all but this makes it really difficult for me to switch mostly because it will change my behavior and not make it easy to leave the platform or app when I need to.
There are so many rudimentary methods of consuming your notes like emailing, printing, sharing for review etc and with Curio without the visual charm those exported notes might not have the same feel or experience.

I am still new to digital note taking, I still do a lot of quick notes in my notebook whenever a notebook is around so I might not be seeing the big picture with digital note apps so my opinion here might have a lot of shortcomings as my experience with note taking is just very short.
Those are time of use rates, so I don't believe it's detecting your car, but just incentivizing you to schedule your charging at the cheapest time.

This is doubly true in California, where almost no utility will sell you power at low rates during peak demand hours.
Ah, yes. It's been a few days since I thought about how much I hate RIAA.
> I find text configs very friendly up until the point that a package manager blows away my changes.

Neither of these is a complete answer, but

1. Distros like NixOS and GuixSD address this successfully by emitting the config files themselves. They don't statefully edit your configs but instead store them in their own language and then translate them as wholes.

2. You can mitigate much of the pain of this with something like etckeeper, which essentially gives you version control for /etc.
The short answer is – NO. It's not dying. It's changing just like any other marketing or business strategy. Social media users have become savvy to how social media marketing works.
1) When you say hardware agnostic, is that really true? how standardize is the hardware of EV charging ? Do you require the compatible EV to have a specific protocol implemented or do you have some firmware level integration ?

2) how easy is to scale this business in different geo ? I believe you started in Canada and now present in NORAM, what would it take to get to EMEA?

3) You business model is b2b, but would you be interested in going b2c and leverage a network of EV running your OS ? (independently of who's operating it). For instance with a Cross EV charger subscription

Yes, something they recently (2-3years ago) changed when they merged the Windows Store app and Desktop app.

The problem you are describing is the issue of sharing complete notebooks, but if you share pages it works quite alright.

But yes, its really annoying that most (if not all) note taking apps do not make it easy for you to import/export notes.
Yes. OP is being raked over the coals for this, and people are working hard to assume many things about him, be uncharitable. Once that is done, people circle around and then accuse OP of arrogance/narcissism/know-it-all-ness.

Some people want OP to have proven that he knows how to take criticism in his article - a strange ask, given that many seem to not even have finished reading the article in the first place.

It looks like many people here dont know what makes them tick - the things they accuse the OP of, are things they can see themselves do, and so see it in the OPs behavior.

Maybe it is simply that people cant imagine the world OP inhabits.
Modula-2 was already a great language, and it didn't grew that big on PC because Turbo Pascal around 5.0 time frame is basically Modula-2 with case insensitive syntax, and after being merged with Apple's Object Pascal design, grew from there.
This is probably often the case.

There was a case here in the Netherlands in which a robber was shot dead with an illegal gun (there are pretty strict gun laws here). The robber followed the victim after they retreated in to a backroom. The robber started trying to breakdown the door. The victim shot the robber through the door. The DOJ didn't even bring it to court.

All I have to say looking at that is

Absolutely Disgusting.
For anyone who might be concerned by the claim here; it’s really a political argument and not a technical one. Proof of stake as implemented by Ethereum makes a tradeoff which requires some small amount of trust (to identify the correct chain more quickly) which does not create a centralization risk.

But this is always the way; leveraging trust where appropriate can allow great increases in efficiency, this is how society works, so you have a political spectrum where Ethereum is “responsibly pro social” and Bitcoin is still a kind of super trust less money with enormous energy costs to enable this somewhat superficial security property.
Slavery has security and good excercise benefits with the trade off of being owned.

That's what happened in every lengthy major war: the highly-trained experienced pre-war army melts, and they are replaced by hastily trained new recruits. Still, it turns out they work just fine, even on the offensive: Romans conquered Carthago, the Soviets crushed Germany, the Entente put the Alliance to its knees, North-Vietnam is now the ruling body, Mao beat Chag Kaï Chek, the Whites lose the Russian Civil War, etc.

Assuming the populations remain unto control from the governments, my informed guess is that the deciding factor between the Ukraine and Russia will be economical, as it had been for all grindfest-wars. And at this game, I wonder what will crumble first: the Russian economy or the Western support to the Ukraine – hopefully the former. In any case, victor or vanquished, the Ukraine will end up gutted by what is probably a good contender for the stupidest war of the 21st century.

That still doesn't make sense. In this case, the "continuing revenue" is deliberately artificial and strictly worse than the upfront payment. To the extent that your valuation "likes" the latter in such a case, that valuation method is predictably, avoidably flawed, and will be outcompeted by non-goldfish-attention-span valuation methods.
