Hey, thanks for the anecdote. It resonates with what I have come to realize about note taking: it is a personalized activity, and whatever keeps me in the habit of taking notes may or may not work for anyone else.

Inevitably, Subconscious (our companion notebook app) will manifest some opinions that not everyone will love. But, it has some qualities that you may find appealing (given your stated preferences):

- Almost no formatting in the default note syntax: https://github.com/subconsciousnetwork/subtext

- De-emphasis on hierarchy (flat namespace for notes; no semantically meaningful nesting in note content)

- The core of the Noosphere protocol is designed to enable ergonomic linking

Noosphere will also bring end-to-end encryption for securing private notes or sharing with specific groups of others.

my cliff notes for teflon non-stick:

· Don't use high heat, ever; you will destroy the coating and release toxic gas

· Don't leave the pan to get too hot over medium/low heat either; if a teflon pan ever smokes, you have officially fucked up.

· Don't use hard/sharp utensils against the pan; you will scrape off the coating

· Don't clean the pan with abrasive scrubbers; you will scrape off the coating

· Do use soft plastic, silicone, or wood utensils; these shouldn't damage the coating

· Do wipe the pan after use, while the remnants of cooking are still hot ( honestly this is just a general tip; I always wipe out my carbon steel pan after use as well )

· Do use a soft cloth or sponge and warm / hot water to clean the pan when hand washing; just like seasoned pans, you shouldn't need to clean them with actual soap all that often, but a light once over every so often will not hurt at all and helps mitigate dust/general grime.

· Do soak the pan if you have somehow managed to carbonize food onto the pan; attempting to pry off stuck burned food can pull off parts of the coating.

Personally though I'd recommend a stainless or carbon steel ( cast iron if you don't mind the weight ) and seasoning it, or basically anything with a ceramic coating ( all cliff notes apply to ceramic as well, but due to general coating damage concerns rather than ptfe's production of toxic gas and generation of microplastic granules )

A number of "captains of industry" and other "heros" had dubious moral and political views. Henry Ford accepted a medal from Hitler. Charles Lindbergh was a fascist and racist.

Had Elon not bought Twitter he would be tens of billions richer and not widely known to be one of those "libertarians" who find authoritarians, fascists, and misogynists to be fine people.

As for "myth," the most creepy icky aspect isn't political. Elon, in an interview, claimed he held one of his children as they died. The mother of that child and an ex-wife, refutes that claim.

Dunno if I'm in the minority, but I just can't warm to [], either in lieu of or augmenting, () in SEXPRs. Just never felt they were necessary and, if anything, I find them distracting. Likely because I'm not used to them (baby duck syndrome and all), but the regularity of Lisp syntax, to me, is a boon, and the [] just mess that up for me.

It's barely a vulnerability. Many open source projects have theirs public. It might be a problem if the company's system was terrible and relied on security through obscurity; but maybe they don't care. The engineers who think it's a big deal may have tunnel vision. That can happen if you spend years in a very narrow area.
There are no comparable laptops to M[1,2] Macs, AFAIK. Linux on an M1 simply flies. It's just stupidly quick. A MacBook with Linux is the most amazing Linux machine that exists, even without the GPU acceleration.

Trade starts with bartering commodities and collectables. Metals start being used in trade. Gold, having superior stock to flow ratio, becomes the premier store of value. People hoard gold when they can, and get rid of the coins of lesser value.

This is how you end up with the US government installing a military base over a huge stash of gold, called Fort Knox. They don't do the same for silver and copper.

How often is it actually that 1 employee is exposed to all of these groups simultaneously, and all of them are technically qualified and have visibility and insight to pass the judgment about the parts of performance that were under that employee's control?

My bet is somewhere asymptotically approaching 0.

My follow-up question to this would be - how did this person even pass the interview process to get into a position where there are people under them?
Yep. Ibis are generally dirty, walk awkwardly, even take flight and land pretty awkwardly so they’re easy to dislike

But they’re pretty chill dudes. Lots of others birds will try to shove them off somewhere else and they’ll either wander away off their own accord, or they’ll completely ignore the other birds (probably a mynah) and just keep eating. They never really fight, they just mosy along

Then you see this big lump of a bird try to find a comfy spot in a big tree which isn’t the most graceful sight so it’s kinda funny. And then out of nowhere (because they’re so quiet) they’ll remind you that love a good HONK. Sometimes they’ll even HONK, HONK, HONK, EEEEK

What helps me is no caffeine after 12 (noon) and being ok with only starting work at 10, or working from home on random days where I had trouble falling asleep the night before. Of course not everybody has that luxury.

I have always been a night owl and don’t wake up early usually. Like many other people with ADHD once I’m asleep I am very hard to wake. So my problem has always been falling asleep, not staying asleep.

It sounds like your natural sleep habits are a bit different so I’m not sure what to suggest. Maybe try taking naps? I also wonder if maybe the rest of the world waking up (like the garbage truck coming, street cleaners, etc.) are waking you up at that specific time.
Cloud providers aren't guessing at demand to plan capacity, they're literally building new data centers and then wheeling new racks into them as fast as they physically can (short-term decisions are more likely made at the other end, e.g. when to retire old systems, not add new ones). AWS was born out of the fact that Amazon's own compute needs are inherently variable so to meet peak demand they had to "over-provision" compared to average demand--this in turn meant they had a lot of excess compute power most of the time. At the point when Amazon still was a dominant consumer of AWS, spot instances were actually a deliberate convenience to Amazon, since it meant AWS could monetize resources while still ensuring Amazon could claim them instantly when needed (later they added a two minute warning, but early on they could literally disappear at any moment, and regularly did).
Every Mac game I own on Steam I could have (and honestly should have) bought outside Steam. The Mac App Store, GOG, Itch, direct from the publisher. It might have been more expensive, but Steam is such a piss-poor Mac citizen I am not surprised barely anyone uses it on Mac. It's not a clear-case cut of where obviously every gamer plays on Macs.
The term to google is "durable water repellent" (DWR). In sport shops you can buy sprays or washing liquids to treat the jackets.

Also note each jacket has a different thickness of the gore-tex layer which conditions how many hours of rain it can withstand.

> a surname Hartl is more common in Germany – but Austria is still a viable contender

The maps in the link point to Bavaria as the place for the German Hartls and Upper Austria for the Austrian Hartls. I would not be surprised if most of the Bavarian Hartls were from Lower Bavaria (or migrants from there to Munich), which borders on Upper Austria. For historical dialect geography, this would be the same area.[1][2]

[1] See the Map on German dialects aprox. 1900 at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_dialects The relevant area is no. 27. "Central Bavarian". Or this map of dialects aprox. 1945 (the medium blue are no 7): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_language#/media/File:...

[2] Note that in written German there is a distinction that is lost in English spelling between the state of Bavaria ("Bayern", adj. "bayerisch") and the dialect (or some might even claim language -- it has its own ISO 639-3 code "bar") Bavarian ("Bairisch").
> Almost every couple I know who is not having kids makes good $$. It's my friends who make less and are more working class (and work longer hours at that) are the ones having kids.

Those you see making good money, if they intend to have kids, are probably holding off until they feel they're ready (I'm in this group myself). Couples who aren't earning much might feel that someday may never come and have kids since they're going to be somewhat financially stressed either way, plus some in that group have kids as a way to add some meaning and motivation to keep on with the everyday grind.

That said, the answer to population problems clearly not to make more people impoverished, but rather to bring the bar of "ready of kids" down to a level that's accessible by more people more quickly.

> Git ignores .gitignore with .gitignore in .gitignore
You can argue that it is not true P2P, since you rely on a public-facing intermediary.

A lot of p2p protocols cheat with relays, it is really hard to traverse nats otherwise.

Nostr can be used for peer discovery to bootstrap a direct p2p connection.

You could also use a client/relay hybrid application, similar to other p2p networks. That would be fun to build. :-)

Ask HN: Best alternative to BuyMeACoffee?
I feel like BuyMeACoffee is unnecessarily limiting.

$15 is the max the interface allows if I'm not mistaken, but for some products people may be willing to drop way more than that.

If I had the resources for it, I'd run a psychological study and I just have a feeling depending on the interface people are willing to give more or less, with BMAC perhaps being on the lesser side.

What's an alternative that allows people to give whatever they feel like rather than suggesting them a specific amount?
> my laptop could just make a request to Service X on AWS

I was looking for the "just" that handwaves away the complexity and I was not disappointed.

How do you imagine your laptop expressing a request in a way that it makes it through to the right machine? Doing a traceroute to amazon.com, I count 26 devices between me and it. How will those devices know which physical connection to pass the request over? Remember that some of them will be handling absurd amounts of traffic, so your scheme will need to work with custom silicon for routing as well as doing ok on the $40 Linksys home unit. What are you imagining that would be so much more efficient that it's worth the enormous switching costs?

I also have questions about your notion of "centralization". Are you saying that Google, Microsoft, and other cloud vendors should just... give up and hand their business to AWS? Is that also true for anybody who does hosting, including me running a server at home? If so, I invite you to read up on the history of antitrust law, as there are good reasons to avoid a small number of people having total control over key economic sectors.
For example, a group such as Hispanic voters can be slowly growing over decades as a result of higher fertility.

But their voting patterns may change from one election cycle to another. Hispanic voters are not so solidly Democrat as they have been. So if in 2006 you forecast that the growth of the Hispanic community would tip the scales in favor of Democrats by 2016, you'd be in for a surprise.

I used to think that the future of the US was Democrat rule due to demographics, now I'm not so sure. I think other factors will weigh heavier.

You can do a forecast assuming everything stays static, and note the point where fertility will be the deciding factor. But because fertility is such a slow process compared to most of politics, your forecast would be quite inaccurate.

I suppose the best summary I can make is that political party messaging and voter group preferences will evolve a lot faster than group sizes due to differences in fertility. Trends in turnout are more relevant in your typical political timescale. By the time fertility has had an impact, your forecast is far enough into the future that you have a lot of unknown unknowns, and so it doesn't tell you that much.

I'm sorry if that doesn't make it clearer, it's quite late on a Friday for me but I decided to leave all explanations I could think of so you can pick which ones make sense. I might be wrong too, of course. I have no relevant qualifications in the subject.

In USA perhaps, the mobile telcos are powerful there, yes. Which is why Nokia never got popular there.

If they bought it at the mobile telco; of course. I mean, they bought it from that store, not the manufacturer.

The ibises are usually located on the coast, by a beach where humans hang out. In Queensland, the council typically provide free BBQ facilities to cook your lunch. It’s often a great experience. The free BBQs are electric and on a timer, with a flat grill. I’m guessing this is the type of BBQ the hapless steak was stolen from.
It's standard practice not to serve any hidden files (starting with .) over HTTP. The fact that .gitignore is served can indicate they don't block .paths, so lots of other things could slip through (.aws for instance).
For Common Lisp, there are several free books available:

- Practical Common Lisp (aimed at people who know how to program in a more mainstream language already) [1]

- Paradigms in Artificial Intelligence Programming (my personal favorite) [2]

- Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation (aimed at absolute beginners of programming) [3]

I highly recommend the r/lisp Reddit community. Reddit as a platform has its issues, but the Common Lisp community there is very responsive and very helpful.

Typically exports are used to gather USD. It sounds like Ghana has gold. Presumably people want their gold? They could sell the gold for USD, then use that to purchase the oil.

But using the gold for currency does sound like it could be more efficient, cutting out the middleman.

Note: normally countries maitain a float of foreign reserves for this, and I'm guessing this stash of economic lubrication has run a business dry for Ghana and they don't have the luxury of rebuilding their reserves, and hoping to use gold as a more immediate solution.
Civil law as in not common law, not civil law as in not penal law.

Countries with civil law systems tend not to have contempt of court (or very limited versions). Of course, that's variable from country to country, civil and common law being more akin to trend than hard categories.

> If you have a good set of unit tests that test all observable behaviors of a system means you can optimize the logic inside and constantly rerun those tests to make sure it's not broken

This is a naïve utopian world view. The word "good" is doing all the heavy lifting for you. In the last 15 years I haven't seen a single company that had "good" unit tests. I'm inclined to believe they don't exist.

Some of the tests I saw turned out to be good. Most of them weren't.

The reality is that if you're committing to unit tests, a big chunk of your tests will be shit. And when that's the case, accelerated optimization is far from guaranteed.
I've lived in Japan for 30 years, and built several Internet based startups in that time. Three quick things the author does not seem to really consider.

1. Japan's information-dense design pre-dates the Internet. If you look at commercial fliers from the 80s (and probably before) until today, they have similar information-dense designs.

2. This design is not a result of a "critical shortage of competent IT professionals." Just because something is different doesn't mean it is wrong or the makers are incompetent. Some of these e-commerce firms have thousands of good developers. Designs are extensively A/B tested. They are common because they work.

3. Hacker News is also very info-dense and has changed little over past decade. It's not due to incompetence, but because we users like it this way. Now, imagine we had a steady steam of designers posting about how backwards we are and how they needed to "fix" the site to improve our experience. That's what it often feels like reading these articles from Japan.
Bad mainly because countries have been running a pyramid scheme like social security.

That's a broad question, to be honest.

Especially today, since Lisp rather than being a single thing, is a family of languages. I mean, there's some truth to "JavaScript being a Lisp", so you can see that it's a bit open ended.

If you're looking for an embedded Lisp, then I would concentrate on finding one that simply appeals to you. That is, find one that integrates easily, or has a particular feature that you like, or any of many things that may catch your eye.

Once you pick one, then simply "learn that". Consider GIMP originally started by integrating SIOD (Scheme in One Defun), which is a simple Scheme interpreter. They have since moved on to TinyScheme (of which I'm unfamiliar).

But, SIOD has been around forever. SIOD begot SCM which begot GUILE, which is specifically designed to be embedded. It's also pretty large.

ECL, which stands for Embedded Common Lisp is, well, a Common Lisp. Scheme and Common Lisp are both Lisps, but quite different from each other.

That's why rather than saying "pick this", simply find one you like and learn that. The landscape is wide and rich.
I would be shocked if Americans were “mentally healthier” than say Indians or Chinese. Living in a world of physical limits rather than endless possibilities has a way of focusing the mind.
