Trello boards export to JSON, would you consider it open? OneNote notebooks are also an open and well-documented specification, as well as local first and backed by a very reliable company, which makes them just as open as Obsidian by those standards.

This is awesome! I only recently started using Obsidian and have been liking it a lot, especially since there's even a (rough but usable) drawing/sketching plugin so I can kind of get the same experience as I used to have with One Note. This Canvas thing doesn't seem like it has stylus support or anything like that, but it's still super useful.

Also, I noticed that the flatpak version is currently outdated. Anyone know when that will get updated?
Overall good thing!

except

* standard 7z does not support zstandard

* 7z file extension does not explain what's inside, so if you hand .7z file with zstd inside to someone, that person will blame you for unopenable archive

well if only we could rebrand 7z-with-zstd as some new format, e.g. .zstd (no changes required) ...

The one thing I really like about the Astropy system is that it's built on PEP-593 annotations and Numpy, The former being effectively free and transparent at runtime, and the latter being a nearly universal standard for numerical and scientific computing.

The docs also reminded me of the existence of Pint, which is yet another standalone unit system that I keep forgetting to try. Do you have some kind of comparison document among Astropy, Pint, and Unyt? It would be helpful to have a sense of how Unyt differs from the others, otherwise my default behavior is to go with whatever is the most popular.
He’s not. Elon already offered him the position and he turned it down.
They were very popular for video editing, particularly by shops/studios that didn’t have the money for the SGI or Montage systems. NewTek, now known for the TriCaster, built a successful business off of Amiga, first with the Video Toaster and then with Lightwave 3D, one of the first special effects programs.

This is all before my time, but from what professional broadcast and film editors have told me, the lore of Amiga’s dominance in this field is a little bit overblown. They were popular, but it was hardly the industry standard. The high-budget places used other stuff (often proprietary or custom-built) and a lot of broadcasters used live edit bays that were probably less technically capable than a Video Toaster, but were huge and already integrated with their much more complex live camera setups. But the Amiga kicked off what wound up upending post production and live broadcast.

Amiga was definitely ahead of the curve, but Avid, then Adobe and finally Apple, took over starting in 1993 or so (the same year Commodore went bankrupt) and x86 and PowerPC machines got powerful enough that even SGI or Sun boxes weren’t that useful outside of Pixar-style edit farms.

It's not perfect, but this was after only 10 hours of development by someone who is very busy, and who told me there are ways to make it faster, but the goal for launch was to just make it work, make it accessible and keep improving.

"Stupidity" and "incompetence" is unnecessary IMO, but it's nice to know that you're enthusiastic about development.

It’s interesting though. The TX law was one of many attempts to find some loophole in Roe v. Wade that might survive long enough to get SCOTUS to reconsider Roe. When Roe was overturned in an unrelated case, a conventional abortion ban came into effect in TX. In other words, SCOTUS isn’t going to end up making abortion legal in TX even if they uphold this precedent, because TX simultaneously has the kind of law that was already upheld in Dobbs.

That's the clever thing about this setup. You can't stop it because any pushback makes you a "fascist" or any other "ist". It's shielded from any type of criticism by shame and mob justice.

The local first approach is the primary reason I use Obsidian. I trust that I can _depend_ on Obsidian because of this.

On the other hand, this has also caused some headaches around using it on mobile.. but so far this has been a worthwhile tradeoff. Thanks for all the hard work!
Did the core of Obsidian have to be changed at all to support Canvas? If so, then I don't think it is like any other plugin.

If this were just another pluigin that you could download and use if you want, I really wouldn't care. It's the fact that it's considered part of the core product that gives me bad vibes. It feels like the project, even without VC money, is doing what almost every other successful project does - expand.

Do you think Obsidian will ever be considered "done"?

What really bothers me here is that the lady wasn't even involved in a lawsuit against Radio City Music Hall, it just happens to be the case that they're connected through some billion dollar conglomerate to the restaurant that she's involved in litigation with.

> I'd like one connector I can plug into a piece of hardware (a sensor, a servo, a keypad, etc) and have it just work.

Not knowing much about hardware stuff, I'd assume there's a few different tradeoffs when designing some kind of connection. For instance, some connections might be designed to transfer more power, some might prioritize minimizing the possibility of interference, some might prioritize data transfer speed, and some might prioritize physical size. How can one connection type serve all of these kinds of competing requirements?

This is offtopic (as it has nothing to do with the linked blogpost) but it's even worse. At the tail end of 2019 I went to China for a few weeks, I created a WeChat account at home without any problems. As soon as I stepped into China it got locked and I needed someone with a WeChat account to verify me. They can only verify (I think?) 3 new accounts per year, and 6 accounts that got locked out for whatever reason. This is (from my perspective) even worse than requiring ID for SIM etc. It links people together and I'm sure it brings some repercussions to the people that verified you if you make trouble down the line.

It was very fascinating to see, a near total domination of WeChat everywhere and relatively very hard onboarding for new accounts. Contrary to the west where most of services seek to streamline onboarding as much as possible - I guess that becomes an anti feature when you have total monopoly and _everyone_ has a WeChat account. I think it's a very effective (and very dystopian) form of control.
P.S: Signal worked without any problems for me, even on a Chinese SIM (one "trick" to go around most of the GFW was buying a HK SIM in HK. Works across china and has a lot less blocks, but for various reasons I got a China SIM too).
My views on brotli are just from my experience with it.

I'm looking at my static assets now; our largest JS bundle is 6.3MB uncompressed. With brotli at level 9 it takes 400ms to compress down to 1.34mb, and with zstd at level 13 it squeezes down to 1.31mb in 300ms. If I use zstd at level 19, it takes 1.1s to compress, but size is even further reduced to 1.21mb. Decompression time is identical for both (33ms). So, for our static data the edge goes to zstd.

For dynamic data there's no contest. Most of our responses are binary and brotli is not just slow, it's so slow we have to disable it otherwise people assume our services have hung. By far most of the data that leaves our servers is dynamic, so having zstd support in browsers would be a huge win for us because we would spend less time compressing (compared to gzip) and have smaller responses.

I was looking at one particularly pathological case last month where we had a 2.7gb response that was quite sparse. We were spending 30s of server time as part of the request in gzip, the end result being 52mb. With zstd at level 12 it was 5s to compress it down to 41mb. I don't even know how long it would have taken with brotli as I stopped timing after 10 minutes.

I mean, if brotli wasn't working for people it wouldn't be supported by browsers, but I really really wish zstd was an option.

Puritanism, a tale as old as time. What's fcking weird is the religious-tinge to this. It's like a less-worse version of pro-life people, they probably 'feel' good that they are 'helping', but as soon as the baby comes out they can ignore it.

Similar to this, Stanford has a huge endowment. They could actually help poor & marginalized black n brown communities. But instead they will continue to destroy neighborhoods(e.g. University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago). Harvard will continue to put out machine economists and lawyers that incarcerate people.

People want to come together to 'help', which is cool, but I think they are fking retard#d about what real help looks like. Probably not like authoritarianism.

HN certainly has taken this seriously, which IMHO is disappointing.

1300+ comments on something that has hardly anything to do with technology. Really?

To me, this is a dumb and actually kind of funny list, due to some ridiculous notions (e.g. "stand up meeting" is ablelist?) that seem poorly put together with zero thought for context. It's as if someone got an assignment to put this together and tried to really, really stretch any possible connection they could into this. Like you said, a "bullshit time-consuming initiative".

That's all it is. I don't get why people are paying attention to it. It's not worth much thought at all.
I've loved this book since it was released. Weirdly, until The Goldfinch came out, it was a book that was at once globally popular but somehow locally unknown; very few of my acquaintances had read it, so I could never talk to anyone about it.

There's a podcast named Once Upon a Time at Bennington College that I hesitate to recommend because it has a sort of tabloid, gossipy vibe to it, but it's about Bennington College in the 80's, where Tartt, Jonathan Lethem, and Bret Easton Ellis were contemporaries. I skipped through it, but I found it interesting the extent to which the backdrop of The Secret History came from Bennington.

https://cadence13.com/once-upon-a-time-at-bennington-college...

I'd also recommend the Tartt-narrated version of the audiobook. (I believe there's another version narrated by Robert Sean Leonard.)
This! Tech influencers on YouTube are using these bad examples, to scare people into believing that ChatGPT will take over programming jobs.

The day when AI technology can fix bugs in a multi-million line codebase, make improvements to it; that's the day when I will start worrying. That day is far, far away.
> Radio City Music Hall is a private venue, they can ban or exclude anyone they want, as long as it's not due to membership in a protected class.

There are a ton of laws preventing this behavior by venues. Basically if you sell tickets to the public, you HAVE to let the ticket holders in, barring bad behavior at the gate or contraband. The idea that something is private means you can do whatever you want is very naive.

> if she doesn't like this policy she can start her own Christmas Spectacular show.

She can also just sue and demand hearings about licenses that further prevent this kind of behavior (i.e. public venue, hospitality, zoning, liquor, food and beverage, etc...). From a social/business standpoint, punishing lawyers for working for an opposing firm is very small minded.

Also facial recognition telling gate agents who a member of the public works for is scummy.
> most common reason for using static typing is to allow the codebase to be a monolith like it's still the 90s

This is so true. Static typing shines when you have a very complicated deeply nested system. And that's what most teams are naturally end up creating.

But how about not building the complicated system in the first place? Most of complexity in modern software is accidental.
This is most likely targeted at the onlyfans kinda "internet sex worker" who sell zip archives or lewd images and videos.

It's a corporation, which blurs the notion of what it means to be "private." To assert its rights as a private entity, the venue could restructure itself as a Sole Proprietorship or Partnership.
Sure but this whole “being principled” thing is so weird when people focus exclusively on the laws.

Sure they can do this without anyone getting sued, but they can still face consequences for doing it (like people not going to see the Rockettes).

People like the OP seem to forget that legality is not the ultimate moral code.
Nah, that's a popular myth. I too was told it as a child but I understand the real reason is much more mundane... it's easier to sculpt. Creating realistic looking legs out straight requires under-cutting and they still look kinda "off" so crossing the legs was a bit of hack to improve realism without delicate work.

AFAIK state-of-the-art is requesting a signed URL with a timestamp from whatever system can verify you paid, then presenting that to the file server, which validates the signature and can also elect not to serve links with a too-old timestamp (limiting the damage a leaked URL can do).
We need better representation, and for instance designate Senators from random draw from the voters pool to make it a proposition force.

Also we need to dismantle most of the constitutional changes of the past 30 years, which created several layers of pretend democratic assemblies (city, metropolis, department, region) that nobody understands nor care about, and are only useful to feed a large crowd of professional politicians.

And most important, we must dismantle the rampant control of these by the state through the nationalisation of taxes. Almost all local taxation which used to be defined and voted by the city councils, departmental assemblies etc have been taken over by the state, which nominally redistributes the money but keeps control of it, effectively killing all local democratic processes and politics.

Show HN: Lunni – a no-nonsense container management tool
A lot of interesting Obsidian videos both for beginners and more advanced users: https://www.youtube.com/@nicolevdh/videos
I thought masters degree was just a trick/glide path to get a visa?

My own experience is that masters is for people who need to immigrate to the US for work and can afford a masters degree. When I was in school, the masters level CS students weren’t expected to know CS well going in, so it was kind of like cramming a full CS degree into a two year window… with not amazing results. Obviously that depends on the student. Also lots of students who just didn’t want to work professionally yet, and you can get student loans to keep working on a masters degree.

All that is to say I’m extremely surprised by the people saying the degree is valuable on the merits and not for some other instrumental reason.

P.S. regardless of education level, programming, at least in software companies, is an extremely privileged career regardless of pay. Hours, work environment, remote availability, treatment of labor by management are all better than I can imagine even comparably-paid trades positions, especially if you’ve already invested in the bachelors. I think people in the software engineering bubble can, sometimes, fail to appreciate how good they have it relative to others (especially if you get caught up comparing between FAANG or have ever complained about an equity package).
sorry you're so ignorant! you can email me if you want to learn. it's in my bio.

The masters might help you better explore why this is not a realistic concern :) I got a lot of value from mine.

The risk in CS that I worry about right now is suppressed wages as more folks enter the field and the large companies get better at paying us less.
The Canvas JSON is not an export format, it is the file that the app actually reads and edits. Being explicitly MIT licensed also gives permission to other people/companies to build their own tools using that format.
Hey HN!

I've been self-hosting web apps with Docker Swarm and Traefik for a few years now, and used Portainer to manage all that. Although this setup was pretty robust and the UI was way better than fiddling with Compose files over SSH (and don't even get me started with Kubernetes), I kept thinking the UI could be better.

So I decided to rebuild it from ground up! I'm focusing on the parts I've been using myself – deploying apps a single node Docker Swarm. No Kubernetes, no managing Raspberry PIs, no bullshit. It is best suited for web apps, but anything with a docker-compose.yml file should work. Lunni is still in early stages (roughly around a dozen evenings of work, spread around a couple months of procrastination), but I hope this might help other folks who are looking for a quick and easy way to deploy stuff!
