I adore nvALT. so much so i took a stab at making a clone in JavaScript to revel in all the subtle details you take for granted as a user but take a considerable amount of concentration to orchestrate all together as code.

Mochi is a serious killer app for me, since I use it daily to remember everything that's important to me.

Here's the why for the curious. It's just a historical quirk.

It's "AT&T syntax" because it dates to the 1978 AT&T Labs effort to port UNIX to the 8086. [1] While the 8086 did not have virtual memory or hardware protection, its memory segmentation model was still adequate to support UNIX. It was the first microprocessor practically capable of running UNIX, and this was realized before the chip was even released. The porting effort started immediately. (Though most of the energy would soon switch to the 68000 when that was released a year later.)

The AT&T folks did not wait for Intel's assembler. (Written in Fortran, to run on mainframes, or on Intel's development systems). Nor did they closely model their assembler after it. They just took the assembler they already had for the PDP-11 and adapted it with minimal changes for the 8086. Quick and dirty. Which was okay. You're not supposed to write assembly on UNIX systems, anyway. Only the poor people who had to write kernel drivers and compilers would ever have to deal with it.

Looks great! You inspired me to want to do something similar, perhaps in a photo frame on my desk with a to-do list.

I was shocked at the price of the e-ink display though. $200?! I could buy a whole Kindle for that price.
Is this just a "the means justify the means" argument or am I missing something?

Discrimination is wrong because of the harm it causes, not because it's a violation of an immutable law of fairness or whatever. There's a fucking lot to balance after all.
Thanks. And yes, we don't plan to make it for enterprises.
> Anyone reasonable would presume the machines are tested and get check up type service before their big day. Certainly they don't go from storage to stage without being thoroughly tested.

> Next, anyone reasonable would presume there's a know rate of failure and given that data an appropriate number of machines are on-hand as back ups so that the integrity of the process is maintained.

These would be reasonable thoughts if this was an industrial process that was done regularly, but it’s not. It’s done once every 2 years, and the voting machines are relatively new. There is no reason to assume they’ve done all this testing and contingency planning, and frankly they don’t need to.

A small glitch that is resolved doesn’t compromise the integrity of the process. There is absolutely no logic to that idea.
I don't know why you mention this in reply to my comment. I don't see how this is related.

Now with that said, of course we have standards. That's the bar ;)

The point I was making is that it seems that the average developer is so far below the bar, that I don't want to hire average developers.

Of course there are some juniors (and even some seniors) that will take to code review comments, pairing with them, mentoring them, giving feedback etc. and will improve. Many many don't. Like mentioned elsewhere in the threads here, I think at least some of that has to do with the fact that so many developers have entered the market but they actually aren't good at it. They're in it for the money. They pull the average so far down that hiring average developers is excruciatingly frustrating.
the 100 year time frame is completely bogus

For example women in Europe, especially east Europe, were hired to program computers back in the 50s and 60s because it was considered a job for typists, which were mainly women.

Some men were scientists, some were engineers, teachers were highly regarded, but most of them worked horrible jobs in farms where women were never seen, because the job required physical skills and also because men were through they had to provide for the family.

Nobody has ever seen a woman in the European mines, it makes sense though.

Families paid the toll watching their men dying of silicosis and other horrible diseases.

Women got more comfortable job as nurses,because society decided they are natural born caretakers, where the few men in power sometimes abused of them.

So please don't make assumptions based on some modern propaganda, things are much more complex than they look.

Unless you're from the ruling class, we are all largely in the same boat in the end.

Besides, hiring a woman this way, assuming the story is true, is not exactly morale boost material.

I started in finance and got into tech. Was a product manager. After my last lay off I decided not to go back to being employed.

I’m creating info products (ebooks, online courses, digital products) and doing micro-coaching (unstuckin15.com). I love that I own my own time and can create whatever I’m inspired by.

I highly recommend mixing with freelance work in the beginning until your projects cover your income. If you explore this, join Daniel Vassallo’s community. It’s full of solopreneurs.

With your background there’s probably tons of products you can create.
I mean, I have probably loaded and driven heavier loads than you have. This analogy is about as strained as it gets.

nvAlt != Notational. nvAlt is a significantly divergent fork of a fork of Notational.
That may be better than 100% of the work going into improving the product, taking 1/5 the speed it should.
Love NV and nvAlt! Still use multiple times daily. Set to keep things as individual files, Syncthing between machines, and to my iPhone (where I use 1Writer) via iCloud. Works great, shared notes is the only thing I miss from my prior nv/Simplenote setup.

I got both to compile for Apple Silicon and made an issue somewhere linking to my forks. May have been under the main scrot/nv repo.

Unfortunately, while I prefer nvAlt, it has continued to be intermittently buggy in other ways, so I've switched back to NV for the time being. Not good enough at C++ to debug things myself.

I’m pretty sure that the law doesn’t allow discrimination to correct diversity imbalances.

DEI initiatives are about driving recruiting efforts and targeting towards underrepresented groups (e.g. having recruiters reaching out to qualified women, running recruiting drives at colleges with high minority populations, etc.) but the ultimate hiring decision cannot exclude anyone on the basis of a protected class.
I imagine the upstart costs are astronomical (especially when weighed against the low returns) here for anything other than personal garden level? Or is that perception wrong? Is it possible to start a new farming operation and be minimally viable / profitable?
Ahh, so the only way to correct past injustices against a group of people is to unjustly punish people of other groups today.

Wow, that will fix things and won't breed animosity between groups and deepen divisions.

Intro/conceptual: "A Firehose of Rust, for busy people who know some C++"[1]. Beginner's: "Rhymu's Videos"[2] and/or "Doug Milford" videos[3], advanced: "Jon Gjengset" videos[4]. Finally, "The Little Book of Rust Books"[5].

Rust is easy to learn by studying (in order to understand its unique concepts such as the borrow checker and lifetime annotations), but Rust is hard to learn by experimentation alone (trying 100 different syntax variations to see what compiles).

I worked on a company sponsored open source project for a couple of years. We were a small team from different departments who kept it going as both a labor of love and because we used it for customer projects.

I could make necessary changes for a customer, fork it, generalize it and then after discussions with the rest of the team, I could get my changes merged after the team came to a consensus. It was a relatively painless process. We could release any time we wanted to.

Then as the project became more popular, 5 years into its life (about a year after I got involved), it became more official and transferred to another team. Then any change had to go through “the process” and any proposed change had to go through levels of approval. I still had commit rights and they didn’t take away my access.

I found myself in the same position as the Haskell developers. Either I had to hard fork the code and have a customer specific implementation or go through “the process”. It wasn’t a fun skunkworks project anymore.

Luckily, one of my last changes before the project got transitioned to another team was an officially supported extension framework where I could customize functionality without changing the base code - much like the VSCode example.
Right and the only way cryptocurrency had value was via, you guessed it, centralization.
I just saw this article that seems an interesting summary about the discipline of "contrasting ageing".

I will provide here a punctual short summary:

-- Daniel Martinez (Uni-Pomona) in 1998 discovered the hydra, the animal that does not grow older; its body is entirely made of "mother cells" ("stem cells"), which regenerate continuously. This implies avoiding differentiation into organs;

-- Shinya Yamanaka in 2006 demonstrated that adult cells can be brought back to embryonic stage [...] Yamanaka, Nobel prize winner for Medicine in 2012, pioneered "cell reprogramming": results on mice are being very promising;

-- Longevity has progressed from ~50 years of age before the '60s to a frequent territorial average of over 80; the theoretical limit was set to ~120 a few decades ago; the highest known record is that of Jeanne Calment, 122 years and 5 months;

-- María Blasco proposed in 2013 nine molecular signatures of age-related cellular decay, including genomic instability; loss of proteostasis (retention of defective proteins); shortening of telomeres (artificial lengthening of telomeres in mice lengthened their lives); failures in the systems in charge of the identification of nutrients; epigenetic alterations; cellular senescence - in terms of the state in which an irreparably damaged cell stops reproducing and becomes a liability in its tissue.

-- Current solutions tackle the above factors: there exist drugs that attack senescent cells and telomerase activators. They flank attempts that tackle the consequences of aging (e.g. through known drugs like metmorphine).
I think an important thing to keep in mind when discussing monoliths or Microservices is that you can build modular code without needing multiple binaries, processes, or server instances. If you follow best practices when creating a monolith, creating well-defined modules with clear input and output boundaries, then it should be relatively easy to split those modules into separate programs and create ways for those modules to communicate, if it later becomes necessary to move towards a micro-services architecture.
Their licensing terms are actually very confusing. I think it's just AGPL, just with extra language tacked on that changes nothing compared to AGPL, but I am really unsure.

https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/1507
> First of all, the usual suspects who rip off high quality open source projects have been known to just create a fork if the license changes (see Amazon and Elasticsearch). If you do this, you have to have the right license from the start.

It's probably not tested in court but I don't think Rui is obligated to continue to provide AGPL for old source code, just because he had before. Perhaps if you could determine when someone became a licensee, you could say that old/existing licensees can continue to use the old terms. But new licensees can be obligated to use new terms.

> I think the author should talk to the Linux foundation or the LLVM foundation and should get them to pay him a stipend or something. With this move he'll probably not help the situation much.

I doubt either of those organizations would fund Rui's work here. But it might be interesting to try and combine efforts with some of the incremental-compile/link ideas in Rust, Zig, and C++.

> Could it be that they just never even heard of mold?

This is likely the case. Maybe it would make sense to advertise it at conferences like OSSNA or similar.
broken clock is right twice a day. being skeptical on 100% of startups makes you right 90% of the time but doesnt by itself prove you have good judgment yet. you also need to know how to be nonconsensus and optimistic.
You don't think that the pandemic, the measures taken to mitigate it, the fiscal and monetary policies made in attempt to avert the disaster, the realized impact, and the hyper-political ultrapolarized interpretations of the goings-on, and the paranoia instilled at the social and individual level (and etc......) couldn't possibly manifest into the future?

This isn't an isolated thing, it had and continues to have runoff impacts. A lot of wild reactivity originated, you can see that in all the economic data. It's not a "short duration" it's borderline cataclysmic, maybe you're just too insulated to see it.
Its not just about moaning, it's about paying it forward. I'm not sure when people decided everything should be free - under a certain income sure we should be subsidized, paying for things is a way of voting for the way you want to see the world.

If you don't pay you don't have a choice. "Not using" is not enough, because you still need to support what you do use.

Another poster has already given a good recipe.

Besides such more elaborate recipes, after a little experimentation it is also possible to make bread with simplified recipes and preparation.

For example, in most days I make a bread to be eaten at breakfast, which needs less than 20 minutes for making, distributed over a duration of less than an hour.

It is baked in a microwave oven, which takes much less time than in a conventional oven and which is perfectly reproducible (the time depends on the microwave oven and on the amount of dough, so it must be found by experiments; in my oven @ 1000 W I use 13 minutes for dough made of 500 g of wheat flour, in a glass vessel covered by a lid).

Sometimes I add various spices, but even pure bread made only of wheat flour and water can be very good. I make the dough from wheat floor (with 12% proteins) + water having 75% of the mass of the floor. The dough is kneaded for a few minutes in a glass bowl, until becoming homogeneous and elastic. Then it is left 30 minutes, to become cohesive.

Then I wash for a few minutes the dough while kneading it, to remove a part of the starch, because I want to obtain a bread with high protein content, which causes more satiety than conventional bread, both due to the high protein content and by being more chewy. Then I bake it and I eat it after it cools enough. Of course, washing the dough is optional.

For softer bread, a leavening agent can be used. Nevertheless, when the dough is baked in a microwave oven, due to the internal heating, even the unleavened dough grows about 30% to 40% of what it would grow when leavened, due to the expansion of the incorporated air and water.
The potential to massively alter collective human behaviour via tiny variations in social networks is objectively interesting, and important. There's quite a lot at stake there, if you care to look - as the article does a decent job of beginning to address.

The comparison and similarities of human flocking behaviour to other complex systems are not one to one, and are poorly understood. Consider that you might simply be overestimating your understanding.
First off I have hardware transcoding so that’s not an issue. Second, all of my 1080p direct stream to my AppleTV and do not transcode. I changed no default settings for this.

As for remote users, it doesn’t seem to impact them either way.

By common sense: most of academia is monetarily less attractive than Stanford Law School. The salaries of two full professors there make the family at least wealthy, i.e., able to maintain an upper class life.
And the perks of being a full professor at Stanford Law School presumably include very attractive opportunities that can make one rich (able to amass wealth), e.g., well-paid consulting gigs and advisory roles.

But I agree, my distinction between wealthy and rich is pretty sloppy.

My understanding is that you can pull the wires your self but should not connect them without a pro for insurance reasons.

1. Focus is on problems, and process not people.

2. It is safe to report failure.

3. Failure isn’t hidden. It’s treated as institutional knowledge.

4. Experiments do not require a career making / ending bet.

5. Junior people are often doing things (successfully) they would not get to even touch in a blame culture.

6. Training is company paid.

It's the AT&T syntax because AT&T are the one who unleashed that on the world against the wishes of everyone. See the sibling comment:

> The AT&T folks did not even wait for Intel's assembler [...] Nor did they closely model their assembler after it. They just took the assembler they already had for the PDP-11 and adapted it with minimal changes for the 8086.
Related on positioning - all of the above is correct and also unless you’re going hard for the SEO marketing / growth hacker angle I’d maybe reconsider AppSumo as a partner as I very much associate them with the SEO / website takeover modal / scuzzy dark pattern side of things. AppSumo will also bring in a very specific type of customer.
Ditto. You should start with a monolith with a vision of how to break it down into microservices (if ever needed).

When my company got a contract for a new project, my colleague created a prototype, a bare-bone solution that had 9 web projects that communicated over REST, because microservices. I suggested starting with monolith. Guess whose design was accepted because it was more sexy. It never got to production for multiple reasons, but part of it was that development was awfully slow. Orchestrating changes across services when development is in flux is extremely hard.
It was actually fairly rare for people to spend their entire lives in their villages during the medieval era. People would regularly travel within their region, and it was typical for a person to undertake multiple longer journeys within their lifetime, often to religious sites.
I don't think that Theranos had a lot of traditional VC funding. Tim Draper was the first investor and apparently neighbors with Elizabeth Holmes and pretty much the only VC I saw on the list. But he was the first investor so there may have been nothing to do due diligence on at that point. But then she got money from the DeVos family, the Waltons, Rupert Murdoch, Larry Ellison, Oppenheimers, and several other huge names.

Proof that lots of money does not necessarily make one a "sophisticated" investor. But maybe the $50m-$100m that each of those investors put in wasn't enough to be worth their time to do any due diligence.
Such as the hard-earned trials that over time led to what we call civilization.
Jira is powerful for Dev teams. But I've never heard anyone say that they love using Jira.

For large teams with a complex process, I think the problem is the process itself, not the tool.
For cycling, sugar (really a mix of glucose and fructose, which sucrose or sugar is an even mix of) is a necessary component to a fueling strategy because even a marginally fit individual will burn more in an hour than can be processed by the glucose pathway alone. The goal isn’t to meet some daily allotment, but to get as much high GI carbs into the bloodstream as your gut can take, as fast as possible. This has been linked to higher performance and reduced fatigue in the literature, not to mention this is what 100% of pros do (there are no keto pros).

One benefit of this, like you say, is you develop a general disgust for sweets and have no interest in them outside of training.
