Ask HN: Kanban board or advanced TODO tracker for Linux (desktop)
After endlessly storing TODOs in code and in txt files on my desktop on my debian workstation i'm looking for a better way to track and prioritize work on a project. I thought about trying kanban boards again but open to other ideas.

I am specifically looking for self contained monolithic desktop software for linux. So no tools that require hosting or web servers and no tools that run on Mac OSX or windows.
Wikipedia has blacklists for websites saying you can't use them, and their notability rule says if a topic isn't heavily covered by allowed sources it's not worth having an article on. Unfortunately what happens is that right wing outlets are generally banned while left-wing sources are defended, so it can be impossible to add relevant facts to articles since no left-wing source wants to talk about it and no right-wing source is allowed to publish on it.

For example, site that are allowed (all green):
BuzzFeed News,
MSNBC,
CNN,
NYT,
Washington Post,
BBC,
Anti-Defamation League,
The Guardian,
Jacobin,
Mother Jones,
Playboy,
Snopes,
SPLC,
The Daily Dot

And some site that are banned (red or fully blacklisted)
The Epoch Times,
Fox News (for science and politics),
The Federalist,
The Gateway Pundit,
Breitbart,
The New York Post,
NewsMax,
OANN,
Blaze News,
The Cato Institute,
Project Veritas,
The Post Millennial

I'm not aware of a single news source that has a pro-Trump opinion section which is still allowed on Wikipedia; the only two generally conservative outlets I saw were ReasonTV and WSJ, both of which were generally opposed to Trump. It (somehow) used to be worse although they've moved a bunch of ridiculous left-wing sources to a shade of red.

Also worth noting That ev platforms are now essentially closely engineering the power train and the battery systems to work and extract maximum juice ( similar to Apples battery/cpu control on the iPhone).

When the above is executed well, you get performance and range that are moats to car manufacturers, which reduces the incentive to partake in such efforts as well. ( Tesla, and of course the recent EGMP platform is an example of this. The latter powers 3 best selling cars in the US this year).

Do you demand that every screwmaker make aircraft-grade screws? Aircraft makers need screws and it would be very convenient to them to be able to go down to any hardware store and just buy whatever screw they want since they are all up to spec. No need to evaluate their suppliers since everybody is required to make things up to their demanding standards.

The problem with this is that not everybody needs expensive aircraft-grade screws. Most people only need hobbyist-grade screws, or construction-grade screws. The requirements depend on their usage and it is up to the consumer to correctly identify their requirements and use the appropriate product that is fit for purpose.

The problem with software today is the rampant, careless usage of hobbyist-grade dependencies in critical software. It is the fault of the entities including dependencies that are explicitly hobbyist-grade or inadequate for purpose that poses a problem. It should not be the responsibility of makers of hobbyist-grade screws to produce aircraft-grade screws because the aircraft makers want to go to Home Depot and pick out whatever screw is the cheapest.

The solution that matters today is holding the consumers of these endless software dependencies to task for the usage of substandard or even defective software components, whether open source or proprietary, like every other industry where you must use suppliers that are fit for purpose. To demand a change to the software that is explicitly marked as unfit for purpose is to solve the problem of a aircraft manufacturer using screws from Home Depot by making Home Depot required to only stock aircraft-grade screws while demanding they keep the prices the same.

From Data Parallel algorithms by Hillis and Steele conclusion:
'if the number of
lines of code is fixed and the amount of data is
allowed to grow arbitrarily, then the ratio of code to
data will necessarily approach zero. The parallelism
to be gained by concurrently operating on multiple
data elements will therefore be greater than the
parallelism to be gained by concurrently executing
lines of code'

I feel like this sums up the way of thinking one must have in this paradigm.

It's funny because when designing digital hardware, you're kind-of trained to see things under that angle, since often the commands you write will expand in that tree-like structure, but to gates/ALU instead of data.

Then managing the data-path often piggy-backs on the hardware structure you just generated.

I feel like I have a overall grasp on these concept, yet there's so much interesting results that I don't know about...
> CHERI is a much more interesting case

It would be interesting to see something like this on x86 and ARM. I could imagine Apple implementing something similar.
Two interesting observations from this article:

* I am more amazed at the quality of the scope that the shooter could place a bullet on a 8" bullseye at a distance of 7.08km. There must be something fascinating to it since, Rayleigh's criterion for resolving two points puts some physical limits to the aperture. To resolve a palm sized mark, you need a sufficiently large aperture on telescope & that's not easy to mount/operate.

* This is one of the neatest images I have seen of the effect of rifling on the bullet, in addition to the thermochemical effect on the bullet tip. The tip at that distance & time of flight goes through sustained heating & there is some evidence of rapid oxidation - much like a piece of metal exposed for few seconds to blowtorch.
So how do I use this ?

Why does that worry you?

It's trivially easy to make an air gun capable of killing someone with parts from a hardware store and a bicycle tire pump. $20 in parts, give or take, plus the cost of the pump.

Beyond that, manufacturing explosives is also easy with chemicals from a hardware store. Manufacturing stable explosives is a bit trickier, though not by much- it just limits the explosives you can make.

Really big weapons are harder to use in petty crime, because they're really, really obvious when you carry them around, and petty crime isn't worth whipping the big guns out for- the bullet is probably worth more than what you could get off of most people walking the street.

This sounds a bit odd. What is this, a hobby, or recreation? Hobbies and recreation are fine, but they are probably not an alternative to gainful employment or a profitable business.

If you want start your own company, that could be an option, but it may involve thing things that you don't enjoy, and/or wanting to punch a screen.
What’s your interpretation of easy? These types of firearms aren’t cheap. For example, a Barrett .50 BMG M82A1 is like $12,000. No website is going to ship it directly to you either. It has to go through an FFL which will perform a background check.

A non-profit with lots of talented devs like Mozilla is in a good position to do just that. I do understand it'd be at least a 5 year long effort by a talented team of 200 engineers but it's still better and more fun than iterating on Firefox.
For a specific recommendation try the 3M HF-800 series with p100 filters. The silicone is very comfortable and it has a button for self-fit-test, which allows you to loosen the straps while remaining confident that you are protected. The large amount of filter surface area results in very low breathing resistance, and the exhalation valve improves comfort for extended wear.

It may depend on what you're used to. Whenever I use Windows 10 I feel like I'm fighting a window manager which is constantly trying to eat up the whole screen, even for simple things like settings. I don't get that feeling on macOS or any of the Linux desktop environments that I use.
Coriolis deflection is a rounding error compared other sources of inaccuracy. In their press release[1] they said they didn't account for it:

> Scott made the wind and elevation call of 1,092 MOA up and 17 MOA left. (In our original release, I forgot to include that we added a 36 MOA left mechanical wind adjustment at the beginning of the day for a total of 53 MOA for the hit. Our calculation for spindrift was 93.80” right) We did not take into account the Coriolis, as much of that is lost in the weeds with respect to wind (6-9 mph), temperature rising (constantly adjusting elevation) and time of flight. The bullet’s flight path is over 2500 feet above line-of-sight and there is a lot going on up there that we are unable to predictably compensate for. If it had been an absolutely dead-calm day it definitely would be one more variable to try to address.

MOA stands for minute of angle, which is 1/60th of a degree, so a 1,092 MOA adjustment is 18.2 degrees. It's insane that they managed to hit the target.

This is an interesting result, as taking a deep breath of air and expanding your chest is a way to active the vagus nerve and cause relaxation, but it will temporarily increase your blood pressure. They give you warnings about it in descriptions of the exercise in case you have high blood pressure. This is apparently why it works. It's called the Valsalva maneuver:

In other words, if you just allow the powerful to do what they want in the name of "harmony", you will have no corruption. That the CCP experiences no corruption is laughable.

I would say that diversity without significant numbers, at least when it comes to web engines, is meaningless. If Firefox remains at ~2% marketshare, web developers will pay it no more regard than they do now. It needs to be more popular so proper support for it can't be shrugged off, and so Mozilla has a stronger hand at the web standards table to stop Google from railroading whatever they please through.

Phones are rarely plugged in unless the battery is dead.

This strategy actually works with laptops though. I know that one company set up all their laptops to stop drawing power from mains and run from the battery at peak hours, even though it was still plugged in. This was for cost savings and not for environmental ones, but the same strategy would work.
Don’t take it that I don’t agree, just that it doesn’t need to be subtle. We already had the FBI and bureaucracy cover up a scandal because they were invested in someone else winning the presidential election.

Let’s worry about the thing that already happened instead of the hypothetical.
The industry _has_ standardized, except for one hold-out (Tesla):

> CCS is the established industry standard DC fast-charging connector, and every automaker selling cars for the US market is already using it, or, in the case of Nissan, has pledged to use it going forward. Except, oh right, except for... them [Tesla].

The charger situation is quite analogous to Lightning vs. USB-C for smartphones. USB-C is the industry standard, and there's one manufacturer still using a proprietary connector. And in both cases, the hold-out manufacturer provides an adapter cable so you can use the standard connector.

(To your point about standardized batteries having approximately 0% chance of happening any time soon, I 100% agree.)
Demolition costs are easy to estimate if you can just bulldoze and landfill everything.

The problem will come if you can do that today but not in 40 years.

What specifically is Descript doing that Adobe couldn't do relatively easily, or isn't doing already in its other NLE products (Premiere, Audition, Rush, After Effects)?

Thanks! I was looking for something like that but didn't find it.
The problem is that they're trying to do too much at once, and therefore not really committing to anything at all. They want to tell the story of Celebrimbor forging the rings, but first they need to get the dwarfs' help with that forge, therefore Elrond has to make friends with Durin where they subtly hint at the balrog. Meanwhile Galadriel has to make some irrational decisions in order to end up in Numenor so we can already foreshadow the destruction of Numenor. Meanwhile there's also Orcs turning the southlands into Mordor. And all of these require Sauron, who is still absent.

What I would do instead is this:

Season 1: Galadriel founds Eregion, Celebrimbor makes friends with the dwarfs (with Elrond's help, if we really have to have him), and they get to work making that forge and whatever else Celebrimbor needs, possibly with some politics and negotiations. Numenorian ships arrive and set up some trading posts all over the coast. We probably get to see some stuff happening in the southlands, including Orcs preparing to turn it into Mordor on behalf of Sauron who we don't see there. Instead Sauron shows up in disguise and tries to persuade Gil-Galad, gets blown off, eventually succeeds with Celebrimbor, and teaches him how to forge the rings. The rings get forged. The season ends with Sauron completing Barad-Dur and forging the One Ring in Mount Doom. (Or maybe he does that in the penultimate episode and in the last one he starts his invasion?)

Season 2: Sauron attacks Eregion! This season is mostly going to be war. It's not going well for the elves. The Numenorians are doing great, but not getting involved very much yet, until the final episode when they arrive just in the nick of time to bail the elves out. Together they defeat Sauron. Everybody is happy and all is right in the world.

Season 3: The focus shifts to Numenor. They grow more powerful, their trading posts turn into forts and cities, but they also grow more jealous of the elves. Rebellion and division in Numenor. Sauron is subtly corrupting some human kings, giving them rings, and turning them into nazgul. (Or maybe they got those rings in an earlier season? When do the dwarfs actually get their rings?) This season lacks a bit of a climax. Probably something ring-wraith related. Or maybe the repentance of Tar-Palantir when he realizes how Numenor is going wrong?

Season 4: Ar-Pharazon seizes power! His expedition to capture Sauron. All the events up to the fall of Numenor. Spectacular climax assured. We've got to know Elendil and his family during this season and they escape the destruction.

Season 5: Elendil makes friends with the elves and they form the Last Alliance, fight Sauron, Elendil and Gil-Galad die, and Isildur refuses to destroy the ring.

That's epic. It's in the right order. Every story has room to be told, but keeps focus. There's plenty of room to invent more stuff in every season. You can still have Sindar in the southlands discover Orcs there, for example. Just let all the big events each have their own season.
You can buy _several_ things that are far easier to do intentional crimes with, and cheaper.

The real thing you'd probably have to worry about would be accidents, which assuming a not-complete-moron are probably also much much less likely just because the thing would be expensive and annoying to shoot.
