I find this message hard to get because git is dramatically easier to use and more tolerant of mistakes than previous version control packages. It's certainly true that looking at the man pages could drive almost anybody insane but working from a cookbook it is very easy. (Most of the time I think it is a mistake to "Google" for answers but rather you should learn to look things up in the official docs. Git is a counterexample)

Visual Source Safe would outright die when your repository overflowed a 32 bit file.

Changing a wrong commit message was almost impossible with CVS.

I push into the wrong branch and make other mistakes like that sometimes with git and I have no fear about it at all and little stress because I can always look in the cookbook and find the recipe to fix it.

Git also is the basis for numerous tools such as GitHub that are accessible to non-technical users. Git is the only version control system I've seen that can be used like that.
Airport security was much better when it was private security not government security. At least privately security had alignment with airport customer service. Airports just have to deal with TSA BS now.

I like to remind people, especially kids that don't know different, that the TSA was imposed on us and air travel used to be so much better.
They exist. Hard to find, but there. I found mine through a recruiter, first time doing so.

Searching through my email, "Triple Crown" and "EdgeWater" are two recruiters I had good conversations with.

The main problem with functional programming is that most programmers are too incompetent to use it. It's complicated, the way calculus and music are. While it's sort of a safe assumption that anybody outside of the actually learning disabled, with enough concentration, could buckle down and learn it, most people - so most programmers - won't. Most programmers won't advance past procedural code - that's why Java programmers love the singleton pattern and the Spring "framework" so much: it lets them write and think in simplistic procedural form but pretend they're using an object-oriented programming language. (And if you can't even comprehend OO, you definitely can't comprehend FP).
I love my ReMarkable. It does everything you listed except dictionary search. It also supports adding blank pages for notes which is super handy.

A dictionary is a feature I'd love to see added.
>Amazon informing me about winning $100 in their sweepstakes

Are you joking? Surely this is not something that exists.
1) It's been more than once that we've seen hackers completely wipe people's digital lives? I mean, how problematic will logging in to many of these services be if Google decides to lock your account?

2) As an American example, ask Trump, he really doesn't want to release that information for one reason or another. Simply put trying to figure out other peoples security and sensitivity sensibilities is not something you have all the details on and are making vast assumptions.
> Amazon thought that voice would be the next big platform

It turns out that there are many interaction models where Voice is clearly inferior. Visual discovery (contrast with music) such as for videos, as well as navigation in a UI, are poorly done via voice.
The socrates parallel has a different meaning that what caught my eye. I was struck less by the ‘lots of writing = bad’ parallel and more by the ‘lots of writing needs good filtering to find the signal in the noise.’

But now I’m realizing that might be me just coming at it from a modern angle, while the original 1894 author might have just meant ‘lots of writing = bad.’

Ever see a shitty restaurant with a big sign that says "under new management"?

Things change, can't be a retirement home for millennials while losing money indefinitely. Twitter is in San Francisco, not Portland.

There is a good chance this company will simply run out of money and go bankrupt.

You could play the speculation game of whether it has a better fighting chance with or without Elon (people who don't like his politics and personality will no doubt take the opportunity to screech uninteresting things on this matter) but here we are.

If it doesn't energize people who work there and they want to throw in the towel that's alright. But people who stay need to be clear eyed that the road ahead is uncertain and difficult. Especially in this economy.

If you work for twitter the memelord posting things you find objectionable is the least of your problems. Not to mention highly ironic.
I'm sorry, but this reads like some Qanon "drop". Why are you throwing implications at me instead of just providing the argument you've clearly already formed?

I don't believe that a conspiracy is required per se, but i don't see what other argument you could be trying to make. I can tell from your rhetorical questions that you're implying some power dynamic and allegiance between politicians and CEOs, but I don't see how that explains the peoples own propensity for voting for those same politicians.

If democracy does nothing else, it at the very least implicates the people in their own apparent suffering. You can't really decry the "elites" if you vote for them.

Isn't Notion supposed to be an internal workspace for your company?

I understand the idea of cynical marketers wanting to use GPT-3 to churn out keyword nonsense to game Google Search.

But why would you want your employees reading/writing AI generated nonsense in your company's workspace?

In any case, since GPT-3 is open to everyone now, I think if you're building an AI copywriting tool (eg. Jasper and the 1,000+ others) you're going to have a rough go of it. It's now a commodity feature, not a standalone product.

As evidenced by this move from Notion, the GPT-3 API is just going to be bolted on as a feature in whatever tool you're already using.
It's standard practice to plot independent variables on the x-axis and dependent on the y. To my knowledge, this is how learning curves are typically plotted as well, and the use of "steep" is usually a misnomer.

Is there a reason you believe people have this unintuitive plot in mind, rather than simply conflating with the difficulty of physically scaling a steep slope?
You spawn multiple teams working on very similar projects without them knowing about each other, let them grow for a while, then choose the most promising one (or with the highest traction) as your default solution and kill off the rest. Pretty normal exploration strategy.
Why would game companies want you to be able to resell their in-game cosmetics? They could make that possible now, but don't.
you probably know, but just in case - you can call for `wsl`/`wsl.exe` in your command pipes, i.e.

PS C:\Users\coolcold> netsh wlan show interfaces|wsl -- fgrep Mbps
Receive rate (Mbps) : 121.5
Transmit rate (Mbps) : 121.5
ReDoS vulnerabilities in tooling - that's the key point. The "risk" is that if you do something weird in your code, then your linter might take a long time or crash (i.e. by running out memory). The same way that doing crazy things with types can make your compiler take a long time or crash (- type system).
In the embedded space it's used quite a bit. I see a lot of handwaving about c++ and rust, but most that I encounter irl is c (with some asm sometimes).
I was recently giving Coda a look and it’s got a lot of the same or similar features.
I print once or twice a month--return labels, random home admin (taxes or city stuff), and I prefer paper boarding passes (w/ backup on my phone) because they're less fussy for a number of reasons than the phone. I also print documents that I need to carefully read or edit, because I am easily distracted when reading/editing boring stuff on a computer and can waste too much time writing about using printers on HN.
In what way? PIMs seem to be a popular product category.
I agree with everything. Notion is essentially unusable for me.

My “favourite” bug is that when you import a markdown document, if you have a piece of inline monospace text that starts with a hyphen, the hyphen will disappear. So, something like this:

Use the `-v` option to enable verbose mode.

Will render like this:

> Use the v option to enable verbose mode.

A-a-and that's how you get a lot of confused people wondering, if your documentation just sucks.
Another fascinating thing about teacher claims of working hours is how technology apparently hasn't moved the needle at all. Lots of schools have moved to more and more online assignments that can be in large part automatically graded yet the time spend grading remains constant, or so they claim.

I am just pointing out that the age of onset of sexual activity is a distribution, and that nothing nefarious needs to happen to make it so, even at the tail ends. While I would not want my kids (who are older than 4th grade) to be sexually active at their current age, it is important to note that nothing bad happened in my brother's case.

In a related issue: is banning books going to lead to fewer bad outcomes? Unlikely.

Just out of curiosity, at what age do you think it is appropriate for a human to be sexually active by choice?
Full of misinformation.

> They only verify BTC and ETH

Click the link and you see this isn't true: "ADA ADA.S BTC BTC.M DOT DOT.S DOT.P etc etc"

> they don't audit liabilities at all

All liabilities were verified by the auditors and included in the merkle tree, and as mentioned, all users can independently verify that their specific liabilities are present. What more would you expect?

> the audit they did last December was the second in 8 years

Their most recent audit was end of Q2 this year. They do audits semi-annually.
I think of it as "HN has anti-engagement algorithms to avoid single topics from getting too much front page space in a period of time."

Note that there's also a secret page of /pool ( https://news.ycombinator.com/pool ) that has articles that are considered for being given a second shot.
The concert analogy is close but not perfect because the problem is that grouping necessarily puts you into premium seats.

If they can sell aisle and window seats at a premium, you can't allow people to group for free without putting people in relatively more premium seats for free.

The scale of airline seats (on a single flight) and concert tickets is incredibly different anyway, and different forms of price discrimination are required.
This is the main reason I'm so happy when I see builds run in docker containers. I don't have to worry as much about tracking down the exact dependencies that we're used to build a specific release.

Japanese codes were transparent before and throughout the war. They were not Enigma codes.

It was well known exactly when the Japanese planned to start the Pacific War, though intercepts did not say where. Many in the Navy were sure it would be at Pearl Harbor. Notably, the militarily useless battleships were there, but not the aircraft carriers.
Is this anything else than AWS Athena with extra steps?

My team ingests petabytes of data each day in S3 that is then queriable in Athena, and it supports all the same features that are mentioned here, such as interfacing with other types of datasources like an existing PostgreSQL database.
I think I agree with the sentiment, but being overweight is a characteristic of someone’s body. A fat arse is a part of a body. You can be overweight without a fat arse and vice versa, those are not identical.

I would naïvely think that “fat arse” is vulgar or insulting enough (or at the very least way too informal) not to use it with someone you’re not familiar with. This has nothing to do with political correctness.

You can ruin some people’s day by calling them ginger. I would expect a psychologist to be sensitive to this sort of things (do no harm, indeed), but that’s not a good reason to make everyone stop using that word.
A fuel cell is a battery. It has the same fundamental efficiency as any other battery. Of course, this is not how it works in the real world, but people who cite "efficiency" are usually greatly exaggerating how it works. Most batteries cannot reach 95% efficiency, especially if they need to store energy for long periods of time. Round trip efficiency of hydrogen will beat any ICE doing the same thing, and with heat recapture will basically match a li-ion battery. In situations where li-ion is poorly suited, such as cold weather or long-term storage, hydrogen will often be more efficient.
I thought a bit more about it.

I stand by my statement that federation is not decentralization. Federation is a pre-requisite for decentralization, but not a sufficient criterion. (I said weaker form, what I meant to say was necessary condition)

Federation gives you an opportunity to develop a decentralized ecosystem...but that depends entirely on how users use the platform, or what rules the platform enforces.

Decentralized platforms are always federated, and on top of that have strong fault-tolerance, redundancy and democratic control mechanisms. This may be enforced by a protocol, or it may also be enforced by the people (the latter is highly unrealistic because human trust doesn't scale)

So I'll revise my statement to: Mastodon is not decentralized by default, but at least it is federated.
Economic predictions didn't take into account that two weeks lockdown would last a year and Fed would inject $5 trillion into stock market.
Are you using the Obsidian subscription/cloud service, or have you made a system to sync directly, e.g., Windows <-> Android platforms?

If the latter, could you share your solution (I took a quick crack at it, but the link structure seems to require nontrivial management?)

TIA
Glad to see this, since I utilize both sites (Venture v. Talent). Seen success on both, so this will at least help differentiate versus having to remember one or the other.
> What did you find appealing/unappealing?

The entire CLI is badly designed, with highly non-orthogonal commands interacting in unexpected ways. Recent versions of git has started introducing commands with a more top-down design (e.g. git switch), but that's a very novel development

Git also diverged significantly from the SVN command line, but instead of following the tasteful Darcs path of making commands clearer and cleaner it commonly:

- reused the same terms for different operations, usually less intuitive ones (e.g. the absolutely awful "git revert")

- removed clear commands to confusingly tack them onto others (e.g. "git add" to resolve commits)\

On that front, mercurial extended the existing commands-set much more cleanly and clearly.

Mercurial's CLI felt like an improved extension of SVN's, Darcs felt like a drastically different take with plenty for it, Git's felt like one of those ransom letters cut out of newspapers, full of jangly bits which make little sense, and concepts which worked fine altered for no perceivable reason.

I was visiting a space technology fair quite recently, and I was quite surprised to see how many companies are betting on RISC-V in that space (pun intended).

Do keep in mind in macOS you have `pbcopy` and `pbpaste` at the command line, though, for interoperability, and with Linux-style mere highlight, you wouldn’t then be able to type in a terminal without losing the selection.

I did read the fine print when looking into this which clearly stated the loans were high risk and you may not get back any of your money.

I have reasonable risk management and decided the returns weren't worth the risk, but it seems that many people either have worse risk management or were desperate to better their financial situation and saw a high-risk bet as the only option.

I hope we haven't raised people with such poor risk management, so I wonder if people are desperate to gamble because they don't see a better solution.
Hi, thanks for your feedback.

The names you mentioned; all have __different__ and not "better" features geared toward different target markets..
GetLiveWebsite platform gives you access to an online IDE with auto-completion of code and a pure JS framework that makes life a lot easier for programmers by enabling them to code less. It also features a Visual Editor for each page and full control over the logic of each web app. Launching a new website on it can happen under 5 minutes as you can see in the demo video.

if you read the offerings for 200$ price; it includes __the design being done by our team__. This price is competitive in North America and Europe for giving a designer the task of building a website AND hosting it.
As for "Nobody's going to pay that"; we already have customers who pay that much as they understand the value proposition for themselves.

bootstrap is available on the platform by default. You can also see what 'home-container' does by clicking on "</>" icon on Visual Editor top navbar; where you can see HTML and CSS code.

If you face any issues in your project please contact us in chat and we will be happy to assist you!

Thanks!

The problem is we have a culture that often overly accepts protectionist and defensive systems and is highly averse to any risk what-so-ever. When these sorts of systems are put in place, they become far more difficult to remove than erect, even if they're shown to be ineffective, wasteful, or actually add to risk.

You're not going to see many politicians vote against such systems because the second some incident occurs, their stance against protectionism will be crucified by opponents and gobbled up by the general public. This is one reason why the US defense budget continues to balloon. Anyone who pushes to reduce spending can easily be painted to the masses as someone who doesn't care about or want to secure your safety. This dynamic also plays into use of fear for power, so those in power drum up fears and explode risk in their own interest.
I‘d say if the letter was short it‘s pretty likely.
They also don't get paid when we have budget legislation. Who would want to work in a place like that?

I think if you’re interesting in C you’re just going to have to deal with also working with C++.

When I started out I was looking for the same thing in the embedded space but there wasn’t any jobs strictly using C.

The “best” you could find out there is old code base is in C, new code is in C++. Which there are good reasons for.

First, I humbly recommend you stop accusing others of being "programmed" in negative ways. It's presumptuious and makes me wonder if you're asking in good faith. Second, I would not end comments with "what the fuck happened" as it sounds condescending, as if you're on the "good side" looking down on the others and shaking your head.

With that out of the way, I think hard work is great. Making something cool is what gets me up and to work every day. What I think isn't great is being commanded to be "hardcore" and work at "high intensity for long hours." To me, that implies having to work for more than a typical work day and with little slack for any hiccups. Add to that the expectation that anything less than "exceptional performance" is a failing grade. Taken together it strikes me as a recipe for burnout and anxiety. At a minimum I don't see how it's possible to have any sort of work life balance in that arrangement.

Jobs with that level of intensity are fine if the rewards are there. That's been my life for a while, working on an indie game. I don't think that's the case for Twitter. I also think it's a raw deal for a boss to walk in one day and completely flip the expectations. Of course fairness has nothing to do with it, it's Elon's company. Still, that doesn't maen he's free from criticism.
That's like asking "can you name a product better at being Notion than Notion?".

Rephrase the question as "what problems do you have which Notion is trying to solve, but you think there are better solutions on the market?".

Personally, I prefer plain-text where I own the content, so Obsidian works great. When I need to collaborate on something in realtime, I usually prefer a more focused tool, like Google Sheets, Trello, Excalidraw.

Git being better than predecessors, while still being really hard to use is not a contradiction.

For me this is huge. No more random formatting on google docs from team members, notion removes this from the picture and ppl can focus on the content.
