Been really impressed with Nota http://nota.md (currently in pre-release)

Got a good set of features. Not that it does anything super fancy either, it's just really _nice_.

The timeline is interesting, they've been working on earlier forms of this app for about 10 years.https://nota.md/about-us.html
The value spaces are in fact asymmetric. In Unicode jargon, UTF-8 is a "list of Unicode scalar values" while WTF-16, i.e. UTF-16 as seen in practice, is a "list of Unicode code points (except surrogate pairs)". Unicode code points are a superset of Unicode scalar values, aka "list of Unicode Code Points except surrogate code points", hence conversion from WTF-16 to UTF-8 is lossy. In WTF-16 languages, this is not a problem because the system is designed for WTF-16, but it becomes one if the value space is restricted further, here to UTF-8.

That's why, in such mixed systems, https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/ is typically used. Not UTF-8. And Wasm is such a mixed system.
I think you can also use a mac from amazon and others that reset the macs after usage.
150 presses and 51% here, just trying with my fingers on my smartphone :)

And now to 200 with 49%. Feeling not so subtley smug.

And now to 400 with 50%. Admit I'm getting bored now.

Now the question I have to answer, is that because of my professional experience and history, something inherent in my mind, or was it...just random?

edit: just consciously trying to be random, not using any deliberate or external tricks.

Second question: what percentage of the population behaves like me and is it qualitatively different from the population that doesn't?

I don't believe I actually am random, but whatever it is i'm doing the results are somewhat statistically unlikely. Is knowledge/experience with randomness itself sufficient to defeat this method?
> We all have a responsibility to discern what is valuable speech and what is corrosive.

That's not the internet I signed up for, and I don't agree with or support it. Very sad state of affairs.
It's not a problem of git, but a problem of abstraction and modularization, isn't it. In principle, this is partly doable with Wikidata (or old-school templates), e.g. some information in infoboxes and country flags are retrieved from a central location and by editing this single location, you'd change the relevant information on all pages simultaneously. However, use of such abstractions is fairly limited (especially usage of Wikidata on enwiki), basically country flags and similar are the only such usage, I'd say.

In the future, this exact problem is one the primary goals of the Abstract Wikipedia project (see https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia). But again, I don't think enwiki would use this very much, anyway.
Yes that’s what serverless is. It’s running compute jobs via a scheduling layer. That’s all it is.
Why would you use google for your domains?

Domains are important(most of the time), I use a registrar which specializes in it. If a company does less than 50% of their revenue in domains, don't use it..
Yes, you can go for a mixed approach. As you observe, it might not change that much because most of the issues aren't dependent on how many tiers you have. If you have middlemen between you and prod they're probably there anyway, regardless of architecture. And something will have to query the DB to find out who the user can email. Whether that's a DB plugin written in Python, a web server or whether it's an email microservice that connects to the DB over the network, it's going to boil down to how much you care about service isolation vs distributed systems complexity.

If you wanted isolation of an email service in this design, you'd use the DB as a task queue. The app triggers a procedure (written in SQL, Python, Java or whatever) which verifies the business logic and then does an insert to a tasks table. The email microservice wakes up and processes the queued tasks. That's a pretty common design already.
"Journalistic malpractice" is a common English phrase, I'm sure you can figure out what it means.
A couple years ago I worked as a programmer in a 1-2M SLOC enterprise Delphi codebase for 6 months (I believe Delphi is basically Object Pascal). It let me do my work. Under the hood there is the same simple machine model as C and you can access it ok, but the ecosystem around it is considerably clunkier. 90's OOP craze is very present. The various container libraries are composed of different strata of types and classes that do the same things but with different philosophies that were popular over time. Mix of 0-based and 1-based indexing in various string and array types is one of the most annoying problems that I can recall.

Syntax-wise, it was weird the we had to do a lot of "PFoo" pointer-to-foo style typedefs. Syntax has a few strange "addressing" models builtin, including out vars etc. Allocation using "SetLength" is weird, a function that takes a dynamic array can realloc it but the changes would not (or only when reallocation was required?) reflect in the caller. I resorted to plain pointers and manual memory management, because everything else was too confusing for me.

To wrap up, it has a lot of fluff built in that doesn't scale because of non-orthogonality of features, and some OOP that is hard to use IMHO because it is too implicit. As a C programmer I am biased but I find that the usable parts are the C-like parts. The syntax is considerably more clunky compared to C, with all the keywords that tire the eyes and fingers after writing a couple hundreds lines of code.

On the plus side, I'm not an ecosystem guy but I'm sure the ecosystem has a lot to offer functionality-wise, including extensive coverage of the Win32 API. And the compiler is really fast, I have good memories of it and the (Embarcadero) IDE. A big reason why it's fast is that the syntax and module system are better designed than C as far as allowing efficient implementation.
If you have seen a residential tower and an office tower being built side by side, you know why.

The residential tower is built with concrete layers separating every floor (not always every flat within the same floor unfortunately). An office building has no separation between floor, only a thin sheet of metal.

I would never live in a converted (purpose built) office building office, except perhaps if it is to live on the top floor.

I wish you the best of luck. I hope that everyone here will view this as an important lesson about relying on Google.
> but why should we pay the price when it is our natural resources being sent abroad

Because price signals are important and useful tools.

But note, I'm not suggesting you "pay" the price. I'm suggesting the "others" pay the price and then you use that money to make your life better, with greater impact than you'd get by just capping prices and using all your resources wastefully locally.

The same reason you have a job and then pay people to do various tasks that you could in theory do yourself. It makes your life richer.
Never use anything made by google if you don’t have to. They don’t care and they don’t have a support team. Your only chance to get anything is by making enough noise that their PR team gets involved or by going to court.
How much time did they take to remove the suspension?
> Dumb lists of titles are so uninteresting.

The most information-dense form of book recommendation possible is probably a “dumb” list consisting largely of books one knows and appreciates, with one or two new titles in addition. I’ll probably learn more about where a person recommending a book I haven’t read is coming from based on a list of their favorites than I will from the text of a hastily constructed review.

In any case, I wouldn’t dismiss someone out of hand for providing a “dumb” list.

Making friends as an adult is a deliberate process. You have to intentionally pursue it. Don't look for only tech people, it is important to have a diverse network of friends where each provides their own unique value to the friendship. For example -- I joined CrossFit for the sole purpose of making more friends, getting in shape was just a plus. There I can meet people of all walks of life that I typically wouldn't otherwise.
Fossil fuels largely come from the Carboniferous period. The reason for this is that during this period the trees which covered the planet's surface did not decompose, and became buried in thick layers, which became coal seams. Whatever the reason, we know that the carbon cycle was not so much of a cycle at this point--the fixed carbon was retained and not recycled back into the atmosphere, resulting in the accumulation of vast quantities of carbon.

In the current environment, breakdown is rapid and carbon is rapidly recycled. Accumulation is minimal and while some longer-term storage can occur in places such as peat bogs, these are not stable long-term stores--they can easily burn if they dry out.

There was a good talk on the same topic where the speaker gets a Redis image down to 2MB using nix/nixpkgs (see around the 1h5m mark): https://youtu.be/WP_oAmV6C2U

I think people tend to overestimate the safety of their job.

Companies can go bust entirely, they can cut entire business units or entire teams. Even within your team you may be viewed as "a good employee" but still be deemed less important than someone else, or just much less costly to let go.

Irrespective of a recession, I would look at the growth prospects of the team/business/company of a prospective employer vs. those of my current employer, and their reasons for hiring.

Right. Out of billions of people, you can always find an opinion. Even truly absurd opinions.

It's also easy to call experts until one agrees with you.
Sounds like the author realized they have a pet that they've been trying to treat like some weird franken-cattle for some time.

The note about dns is fairly orthogonal to this though. Sensible naming should be the default regardless of the physical setup. My photos are at photos.home.mydomain.com, my nas is nas.home.mydomain.com. They're the same hardware - perhaps different containers.

There are a million ways to make your life harder in this world, and a bunch of ways to make it easier. I'd put docker in the simplify category, and a bunch of the other tooling the author mentions in the complexify side. YMMV.
I remember a few years back I worked for a startup that was all bright eyed for GCP. I warned them that GCP has a history of deplatforming and removing peoples clouds if they feel like it.

They swore that Google would be a kind and just ruler. Weeks later, they were booted from GCP. Never, ever, trust, Google.

Decomposition might take a "long time" from a human perspective, but from a geological perspective it's nothing at all.

Fungi can break down wood chips in a very short time since the wood is easily accessible. A whole solid tree will take longer, but the timescale is only years, not decades or longer.
No it's a very good stat, I think they mean measure after 52 weeks, and note they exclude self published books, it's the crème and still suffers from huge Pareto (as expected)
So do you want more socializing, or are you OK with your current situation?
Hah, I’m not sure if one point of anecdata can be meaningfully drawn on but at the very least I’m hopeful that the idea of children categorically not-consuming sweet foods becomes less demonized over time. Im sure my children when older will make their own decisions but not giving ice cream to a 2 year old isn’t harmful.
I guess not. I don’t really want to push friends and family to buy things from me they don’t really want.
The production of CO2 from making a wind turbine depends mostly on how much fossil fuel is used in the rest of the economy. This is not a constant but varies as the rest of the economy is decarbonized. The current numbers are from when we're still using a lot of fossil fuels there. In that situation, displacing fossil fuel usage as quickly as possible is more important than eliminating residual inherent CO2 emission (in wind's case, the CO2 from calcination of limestone in cement manufacture.) Wind turbines can be installed more quickly than nuclear plants, so they win this racing game.

(Solar doesn't really require any cement at all, so in the ultimate non-fossil economy it will beat even nuclear on inherent CO2 production.)

String untagged unions (value types) are currently supported by Derw, e.g type Fish = "Salmon" | "Trout". I will most likely add some way of handling types composed of other types, too.
Simply unfortunate that one cannot rely on Google for critical stuff. The least one can do is compartmentalization across various Google account and keeping domain names, considering they are at the very root of the infrastructure chain, separate from other activities.

I just [literally in the past hour] had to [unsuccessfully] deal with a Google Fi mess-up while traveling (I made the mistake of running their crappy app on the iPad, which forced me to go through some “activation” steps on first run even though SIM was already active, which in turn disabled my primary SIM and moved the primary line to iPad data SIM). I had to reactivate it on my phone using their app, by deleting and reinstalling, which eventually worked, but left the data SIM on iPad inactive. Support is of no help except to suggest shipping a new data SIM to my primary address, obviously of no help while traveling.

That's likely to introduce bias because the probability of the two halves aren't equal... My initial instinct would be that the latter half would be less likely (since it has Q, X, Z), but maybe not - as a rule of thumb the most common letters are ETAOIN SHURDL - so 6 from the second half, and 6 from the first.
Ehm I am very sorry and not the greatest fan of Google by a long shot, but... who are you? Why should we trust you?

Again I am really sorry but I'm just missing street cred; I only see two new HN accounts and a Twitter account with 79 followers.

Edit: in response to all the comments and downvotes: really, I would not be that hard to convince. How about a LinkedIn page? Glassdoor? An archived version of the site? A personal webpage? A cached Bing search result? Anything, really.

Look, I don't want to sound like I'm victim blaming: you are a victim here and Google shouldn't have done this.

However, in the future, if losing your domain incurs "heavy losses by the minute", go with a provider where you can pay for real support, not $10/year on Google domains.

I think there is something to be said for having redundant domains for backend apis for an app, with redundant dns. If one was to go down have the app fall back to the other. Not much help for a web app of e-commerce business though, domains are are one single point of failure that you can’t easily fix.

But it’s one of those things that isn’t mission critical while building a business and so can easily be overlooked. I see redundancy in the backend, or at least a disaster recovery plan that covers single points of failure, the same as normal backup procedures that most of us already do.
Hm. Self posting several of your own articles in a short space of time.
I am not saying there are no applications, it's a good idea. It needs to work for the farming process though, not the crop. At a certain scale of farm, small machines are not being used.

Again, it would work sure, but it would take a lot of changes for many farms to implement it.

You cannot effectively "compartmentalize" when it comes to Google.
It actively tries to resolve you into one person, most of the time it succeeds. Or worse, you are marked with a false positive.

When you pay the company for some service and the only way to reach their support is via Twitter, hoping for the best, I'd run away from that company fast as possible. Someone once said, "you are never big enough for Google to notice you", meaning, you can't pay them enough so you can have dedicated 24/7 support by real humans.

People should learn by now that Google's bread and butter is search and ads. Everything else is a second citizen to them.

Rainforests, and the Sargasso Sea, continue to have very impressive amounts of plant biomass, despite the best efforts of all animals combined to eat them.

It's easy to imagine a current which sunk a Sargasso's worth of algae every year removing carbon. There's not enough oxygen on the bottom to support metabolizing that much sugar.
According to English letter frequencies [1] that gives a right probability of

= 48.7294 %
even though you summed 14 of the 26 letters (a 13-13 split would lower the probability to 45.7165%).

I asked myself the same question when the pandemic started. At that time, I had already been working around 4 years for the same company, and the raises I was getting were not that great. I had the opportunity to change to a new job and get around 20% of salary raise... but I didn't because of the pandemic (it was the first time in my life I saw a disease making entire countries to lockdown and what not, so it was a bit scary to me). I regret not having switched jobs at that time.

Now, I switched jobs 4 months ago. I had the same question in my head "is this the right time?". So far, I don't regret.

A post-fossil economy will have a limited quantity of reduced carbon to work with. I suspect the waste stream will have many takers. Uses that can be substituted for (like fueling stationary power plants) will fall by the wayside.
> Your typical car lead-acid battery has 8-10 kg of lead.

I didn't think so - the full lead-acid battery itself weighs less than 10kg, and it appeared to me that about half of that weight was the solution (water).

Even if true, though, still very surprised that a ~550kg EV battery has less than 10kg of lithium.
