I paid for Evernote when it had the silver/mid tier, and it was about $35/yr. Then they got rid of that tier, and now it's $80/yr. for Personal. So I switched over to Joplin[1].

Maybe divert a little money away from Israel and other assorted wars and occupations and we could fix our aging infrastructure. Just a thought.
Can you give a list of the anti-scientific nonsense they are diverting money to?

I currently donate a monthly sum, but I might reconsider that depending on what they're using the money for.
My point is that he was once very legit, but now he's just another social prattler.
I don't have any problem with the word per se (it doesn't evoke any connection with mental health, if that's where you're going with it).

But... it's a dumb and unnecessary word, in the contexts you mention. When I'm at a meeting and someone says "I'm going to propose a crazy idea" I always think "Just get on with it, man, no need to tamp down expectations."
I think there's a big difference between matching up variable names and the context of what you're working on in a file, and saying "brainstorm 5 marketing strategies for me" like in the examples here. With code, most of the context Copilot needs to do a good job is a) written down and b) parseable in very well defined formats. With business contexts most of the context won't be written down, or won't be in a structure that is useful, or won't be parseable.

Let's take the example of the marketing brainstorming. Let's say you're a super organised small business and you write down a report on every marketing experiment you try, and influencer marketing didn't work for the product, so you write a report on why TikTok creators are not a good direction for marketing.

To know not to suggest influencer marketing, Notion needs to: have all your documents, know that document is relevant, have the "idea" (let's brush past the fact this was essentially written on someone else's brainstorming list and learnt from), know that the idea is related to that other document(s), know that the conclusion was negative sentiment in the way that matters, and then know that because it's doing brainstorming, lists of ideas should probably be filtered by things that haven't worked in the past.

Maybe it's not the worst thing if it generates "influencer marketing", but if you ask it for 5 and it always gives you the 5 you've done before, then you start having to engineer your way around its stupidity – give me 10 ideas, or give me 5 ideas that don't include xyz. Is it providing value over, say, googling "small business marketing ideas" and reading an article full of ads titled "Ten things that will transform your small business marketing". That's low value content, but it seems most likely to me that this will produce largely similar results.
If you're building web apps for yourself, do you even need to do state management? Just print the results wrapped in HTML from your backend.
Yeah, the buzzwords have changed, but some version of the concept has been in the air at least since I was learning Delphi in the 90s
It's also suburban Waco, Texas. That's not exactly the epicenter of education in the US, much less even in Texas.

"The DA's role to win as many cases as they can."

When the San Francisco DA's office was run by Chesa Boudin, I spoke with an attorney there. That attorney told me that the role of the DA's office was to 'deliver justice', and he was explicit about that meaning they wouldn't pursue all cases they thought they could win, and wouldn't seek maximum sentences they thought they could achieve.

Prior to working for the DA's office, he was a public defender, so perhaps this attitude isn't universal...
This could be vaguely more tolerable if there were some good ideas or a good plan to get behind.

Innovation seems highly unlikely. The leveraged buyout has saddled the company with enormous enormous debt. It seems unlikely the product will get better or improve. Musk has already numerous times had "throwing seats out of the airplane" movements- declaring a hunt for $1B in infra savings, shutting down microservices, firing huge numbers of the experts. What about this ride would inspire people to believe, to think they are playing an important part in something good emerging? What's the carrot here, Elon?
Transmeta was an ISA emulator + JIT, and it did ship (it's used by Tegra's "Project Denver" CPU cores).

Doing an emulator/JIT at this level has some severe problems & a very sketchy security story. It's unlikely that anyone else wants to do this, and "AOT" solutions like Rosetta 2 are almost certainly the better approach to ISA flexibility.

I was home schooled all the way through til college - never went to any regular school. I have never regretted that, and never felt that I am missing out on any skills necessary for dealing with functional adults. Indeed I see the painful impacts and lasting damage those experiences had on some of my friends, and I am glad I never had to experience it.

Kids are cruel to each other because they do not yet know any better. They are still developing empathy and have not yet learned social skills. Kids in mixed-age environments can (and do) take their cues from older children and adults; kids who are isolated into the bizarre, historically nonexistent single-age environments found in the modern school system do not have that advantage, and accordingly tend to brutalize each other. Outside of prison there is nothing like it in adult life.
Can you shed some light on why something like Google Docs is able to operate this way but not experience the lag or latency that your app does?

Youtube keeps suggesting https://www.youtube.com/@AuditTheAudit to me. In many of the videos the officers just make up what they think the law is.

Just a warning, more than a few of the videos on AuditTheAudit are infuriating due to the level of arrogance, incompetence, negligence, and abuse of authority displayed. But, it is nice that there is a way to air this dirty laundry in public. As GI Joe says, "Knowing is half the battle".

You can't just say the ends justify the means, without actually working out the price you're paying. Otherwise, we should be OK with the government monitoring us 24/7 so that they don't miss any terrorists or child molesters. What proper Good Thinking citizen would possibly object to Big Brother watching them, after all?

When an organization has the power to destroy families, I think we might want to require a standard of evidence above one nosy neighbor - or at least evaluate how many kids are protected VS how many suffer in Foster care VS how many had their lives ruined because their parents had a marijuana joint.

Ah, that would be interesting to see. I wonder, where would the money coming from for this fund? Would it be real money, or magic beans money? What does it mean for a financial product to be "otherwise strong" when it is "in a liquidity crisis"?
Some people spend a lot of time locking themselves directly into these little inferno chambers. The only fire deaths I've directly seen were in cars. Naturally they are more visible than houses, but also so common that they don't make the news.
What in the hell has changed in the last few years that suddenly there’s this moral panic over “sex trafficking”? Like somehow it’s become this massive concern recently with no obvious cause - there hasn’t been any indication there’s an increase of it, or that it’s gone unreported or unrecognized before. It stinks massively of satanic panic.
Reddit kind of comments :)
This has gotten me genuinely curious, I wonder what the safest way to get a document like that onto your own device is. Printing it on a work printer doesn't seem ideal, but I don't really know what the best approach is. Maybe emailing it to an outside address or sharing it as a document via Dropbox or similar? Copying to physical storage? All of those seem fairly easy to monitor as well though.

If any infosec experts feel like chiming in I'd love to learn more.

I'm interested in an app that I can just throw a million disorganized documents (PDFs, word files, text files) at, and have it draw insights and help me write. There have allegedly been apps like this since forever but none of them ever really work. Devon Think is bad. Evernote is bad. OneNote is bad. Notion is bad. Men is bad. They all want data to be in tiny little chunks or formatted and tagged just so. Or they ignore it. All deal killers. I need to be able to just give the thing decades of emails and giant PDF folders and make sense of it.
You almost got me there.
With the data tiering feature, data moves from EBS -> S3. The database is fully aware of all the metadata and the location of any data that it manages. So a user can query any data that lives on storage managed by the Timescale database. S3 is just another storage device for the db.
Athena is not a database. Athena is query service for data lakes in S3 (e.g. load into S3 is not managed by Athena, it is not protected by any DB transactional semantics). Athena needs metadata info for the data in S3. (Timescale engineer)

If I'm on my own its audible, otherwise maybe just a middle finger in the direction of the screen, especially if its a shit ad, especially if its employing basic manipulative tricks (e.g. scarcity).

The intent of any advert is to associate the given brand with some sort of positive experience. Be that visual (pretty people), social (people having fun) or aspirational (expensive looking) or some other positive. By associating the brand with a negative reaction one can invert that intent and thereby give the advertiser the opposite outcome that they intended by catching your attention.
Are the pictures of the melted e-bikes not sufficient for you?

Nobody quoted in the article doubts that e-bike batteries caused the fires referred to by the article. They simply don't know which brands made the batteries that caught fire.

The rest of the quote: "What would be more useful, he said, would be if the fire department committed resources to testing and sharing details about which batteries were safe to use, so that workers could make more informed decisions."
Not that uncommon in my experience. Depends on the kind of microcontrollers/embedded computers. Weaker ones are closer to the bare metal and need some EE during development. More complex ones with a GUI or that run Linux are mostly application level work. And for mid-level microcontrollers (the kind I work on), once the drivers are there, it's all application work.

The problem for switching from pure software to embedded is that companies like you to have EE experience, even if the job doesn't require it at the moment, so you can use it if you need it. Of all my embedded coworkers, only one was a pure CompSci major. The rest were CompE or EE.

Personally I consider myself more SWE than EE, and half of my job titles have been "Software Engineer" instead of "Firmware Engineer" or "Embedded Engineer".
See absolutely nothing wrong with this quote. The "scientific method" is almost a meaningless term because it means different things to different branches of study - discouraging its use for more accurate terminology makes perfect sense.
The Pandas documentation has improved quite a bit. Last I checked, the only part of the reference docs with a big gap was the description of "extension arrays" and accessors.

The user guide material absolutely needs work, and the examples in the reference docs tend to be a little contrived. But I absolutely have seen worse-documented libraries, such as Gunicorn and Pydantic.
The context here of crypto bros getting jacked to the tits on nootropics and doing their best to remake civilization is key.

I don't want to pathologize people who are actually accessing beneficial treatments. I knew kids who needed and benefitted greatly from Adderall, and I knew kids who popped one now and then for a weekend or work session. The latter is the problem.

Abuse of amphetamines is bad. I imagine/guess that abuse of meth is worse, which is why I hope it's less common.
I think a lot of this (to quote the Dude) “is just like, your opinion, man”.

Haskell is great but it’s not for everybody. It really gets you thinking about software engineering in a different way.

I wrote Haskell full time for five years, with some of the best in the industry and I can tell you that there is no real religion. I will admit the language attracts ideologists, theorists and folks who like to pioneer (which I like), but everybody is just trying to make things work - these are patterns that solve problems and guidelines that avoid problems.

Now, it’s really hard to take the good parts of Haskell and bring them to a language like JavaScript and have it feel “natural” - especially to someone who isn’t a native Haskell writer! And especially a concept as reliant on higher kinded types as effects!
This is a pretty darn great perk for season ticket holders!
> it's much easier to read than it is to write

I see your point, although I'm not certain I agree. It's very easy to read what we hope to see, especially when we know the topic, rather than what the text actually says. This is why proof reading is so hard for the author to do. Copilot has a similar issue, pushing more effort from code-authoring to code-review, which I'd suggest humans are probably worse at.
> He wasn't wearing his biking helmet that day, and we had to endure a lecture about it and veiled threats -- "I could have called CPS, you know" -- and smile politely all the way to avoid escalating.

You shouldn't have had to endure a lecture or be threatened by your neighbor. If the kid is just learning to ride a bike without training wheels, it would have been worth it to go back and get his helmet. I hope the lesson isn't "you shouldn't tell people when they are doing something dangerous," but that you shouldn't be a complete prick about it.
Alexa was the absolute hotness when it was first introduced. There were so many claims how it's going to take over the entire world that I started to question my own sanity. Imagine if you joined that growing business at the time? Same here, what is AWS AI and how can you tell that apart from a hyped-up diversion? Clearly, anything "AI" is extremely overhyped currently, but how can you tell which one is real.

The sample generated blog post for Notion AI scrolls by pretty quickly, but appears to be (obviously) completely unrelated to what Notion AI actually is. How is this any more helpful than just having a template? The language model has no clue what your new product is.

I think you’re mixing metaphors. If you earn a six figure income in most of the US, you’re decidedly not in the lower class. But that lifestyle is decidedly not the same as people in the upper class. There are a lot of shades to being “rich”, and much fewer to being “poor”, but you know when you’re rich and you know when you’re poor. If you know you’re not either, you’re in the middle class. This describes a great portion of the US population.

Dividing the world into two groups, the upper and under, seems to be more about politics and power, and through that lens, many “rich” people are still in the “underclass” as well.
The new generations of "developers" do not understand Linux or anything low-level. It's very funny.
Thank you for pointing that out. I did not mean for my comment to be interpreted as being about this single instance. My intent was to comment on the general sentiment I was seeing in the comments that the US culture has turned to be an overly protective and restrictive environment for our children. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.
But it's only partially actual lock downs. A large issue was hospitals and health care workers being too busy with Covid having to delay other procedures and appointments.
It's hard for a stoic mindset to pave over the fact that you're only working a job because you have to. You'd see less of that if we have a society that gives a decent standard of living without having to work (ever), but even then, there will always be people looking to game any system for the thrill of it. That's the intrinsic satisfaction they get.
Are you referring to mounting physical disks? You can do that with wsl2:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-dis...
Interesting, sure, but WSL2 is simply much better to use as a daily driver and for production. I don't have to worry about whether stuff works or not like in WSL1, because, as you say, it's a VM so most stuff should work just fine.
Afraid this isn't really the same thing, but I've found Jon Gjengset's videos tremendously helpful. https://youtube.com/c/JonGjengset
In my unfortunately extensive experience with legal matters as a non lawyer, there really aren’t many legal terms with material reduction in meanings when used legally. For the most part, like in medicine, a less commonly used word is used instead (often in another less commonly used language, such as Latin).

For example, most people would consider a contract to be something written down that says ‘contract’. A few know it can be verbal too.

When really, it could be verbal, video, scrawled in blood on the side of a fence, or any number of other forms, and really covers any agreement that meets certain criteria (generally that there is some form of payment or consideration, an offer, and an acceptance - think ‘quid pro quo’ or something for something).

99% of the time, the public is right. The other times, something went really wrong somewhere and someone did something pretty weird and dumb for it to matter.

In engineering, physics, math, it’s not uncommon to need SOME unique identifier for the thing, and there are very specific technical needs for it to even have a conversation on the topic - and often we’ve run out of pronounceable or recognizable symbols, alternative alphabets, etc.

So down spin quark it is.
Serious question... why would anyone actually stay?

If your hours are being doubled without your salary being doubled, and you'll get three months' severance if you leave...

Who in their right mind wouldn't take the severance and go find a job elsewhere with normal hours for the same pay?

Nobody's curing cancer or inventing AI here. There's no grand noble mission to convince you to stay. It's just Twitter.

Basically everyone who stays is getting their hourly rate cut in half or something like that. And these are all qualified professionals who can find other jobs.

Why would anyone stay?
I think they mean what in lodash was _() and .values():
You could not execute map or filter on an array. Instead you needed to wrap it in a lodash object using _(arr), that you can call .filter() on. To get the filterd values out, you call .values() on its result.
You could also do _.filter(arr, …).
To me it became confusing when I needed to use .values, and when nesting it got worse.

LINQ has instead methods on its types that partially returns builders. I find that easier to use, and using C# type system it calculates the result types for me.
The main reason why I switched from Evernote to Notion like 5 years ago or so was because syncing 3 devices on Notion was free. I just checked the pricing page on Evernote and you still need to get the paid plan to sync more than 2 devices.

I don't know anything about WSL, but if it has a wayland server like you say and if 22SAS wants to use i3, they could try sway with the wayland backend.
> If/When possible, never (ever ever!!!) re-assign a local variable.

Neat rule, but, it won't work. Firstly, as an example, Scala which allows you to declare a read only val, you still see vars used. There is no way you're going to get any traction enforcing this across the developer spectrum.

The benefit of these concepts are realized when they are the only option, hence FP and why mixed paradigm languages are half-assed. Java isn't even a mixed-paradgim. You're wishing.

Evernote had multiple chances to get back on track. Its decision to rewrite its multiple apps into a single web-based one was one of them. In theory having only one codebase to fix bugs and build new features in makes a ton of sense.

Unfortunately the hard product work of simplifying the feature set and prioritizing server-side tech debt was overlooked. Therefore the new app was weighed down from the beginning because it had to support all these legacy systems.

IMO the best move for Evernote is to rethink the UX and tech architecture from first principals and have existing users opt-in to migrate their data over. It's a tough decision to make but I don't see any meaningful progress being made otherwise.
Yeah -- technically you can make the stalk active the wiper a single time -- but to adjust the speed of the wipers you need to look at the touchscreen and (at least at the time I used it), select a fairly small target during a downpour. It drove me crazy in my 20 minute test drive since the auto wipers were failing miserably.
