I'm the creator of this site. It's a very nice surprise to see it appear here!

I created it a few years ago and recently added the ability to create multiple notes and to sync your notes to the server.

Interested to hear your feedback, please keep it coming!

EDIT:

Just adding that there are two secret features that you can enable via the browser's JavaScript console:

1. Change locale to change the number format used in the answer column:

localStorage['locale'] = 'en-US'

2. Dark mode:

localStorage['darkMode'] = 'true'

After running either of the above commands, refresh the tab for the change to take effect.
Well I agree, this was poorly developed. Maybe I am getting old too
I see. When I think of a covering index, I think of a covered query, where all query data can be fetched from the index itself. Doesn't the rowid btree just point to an offset on disk where the actual row is? Or is the row itself in the index?
They will serve them concurrently. I’d be surprised if he gets 20. Something in the 11-15 range sound probable.
I second this. Institutions come and go but the people and connections you make throughout your working life is what counts and transcend your workplace. This is especially true for technical people, if you are middle management/executive your skills are far less transferable.
That is only part of the issue, not every airline is 100% hub system alot most are a pretty big mix.

Further alot of major Hubs where imacted by the Storm, yet those airlines where able to transition. Why?

Well most airlines have mobile apps, and web portals and other techonology so their crews can be reassigned in almost real time, (just like I would get auto booked on a new flight before I even knew my flight was canceled via the mobile app)

Instead Southwest has systems from the 80's they require crews and customers to call and talk to an actual live human...
It's good to see that the billions of dollars in federal bailouts they received during the pandemic was put to good use and not given to executives with salaries already in the millions of dollars and stakeholder dividends... oh wait...
I’ve worked at small startups and dev shops with low hiring hiring bars and I find way more “princesses” than I have working at Tier 2 companies with leetcode interviews.

“Princess” - people that don’t take feedback, are extremely opinionated about their work, and act irrationally in regards to career or business decisions.
Really cool, love the idea of managing background services for your dev environment, without having to use Docker Compose.

We’ve been working on a similar workflow with Devbox (https://jetpack.io/devbox), using Nix to install and run dev env services
Maybe to take care for grandkids if their daughter dies in childbirth. The chance of that happening is very high when you have many kids and each daughter have many kids, so having old people around to care for their orphan grandkids seems like a very advantageous evolution.
Yes. We had a nice home grown B2B helpdesk/ticket system that worked really well for our customers but we decided to ditch it for HelpScout and it has been a big mistake. It just doesn't work for b2b and charges like $20/Agent when our home grown solution could be hosted on a $10 VPS with hundreds of customers on it and unlimited team members. It wasn't perfect but far better than us switching to Helpscout.

I am almost reconsidering going back to the home grown solution even though it will require a bit of work since we haven't touched that code for 2+ years and almost retired that tool.
I do a lot of LaTeX note taking in Vim. Consider this a hyper-local optimization. ^_^
None of this actually explains what happened. Okay they have an off-the-shelf product called SkySolver that they use to manage their flights and it’s old (I guess the traveling salesman problem
has really changed since 1930) and it couldn’t handle the sudden change in resource availability and flight constraints.

But… why? What actually happened?
How to build an AWS-like on-demand billing system
> Maybe the computer systems are well-thought out and efficient

They're not. Far from it. Not the systems implemented for the states, and not the systems implemented by the federal government. At the end of the day it is enterprise software written to specs created by state and federal government. In most cases the new system has improvements over the previous one (better UI, more secure), but that's just because the federal government helped pay the bill for a shiny new system.

> what you're missing is that DMVs are terribly time-wasting, and nobody wants to go to one until it's absolutely necessary

That's a fair point. When a state/territory switches over to a new REAL ID system there is definitely a significant increase in per-customer processing time. After a few weeks the staff is better equipped and a lot of the software issues have been ironed out and they get faster but it may always take a bit more time than before. I've seen cases where a customer had to come back multiple times over the course of a week (due to no fault of their own) to get their license and I've seen cases where they are in and out in a few minutes with license in hand (some states print at their offices, some do factory printing and mail out.)

> Until the federal government makes it a priority to clean up customer-facing bureaucracies at all levels of government they interact with, these sorts of migrations will remain quagmires.

The customer-facing side is the state/territory-run DMVs though. The states have to collect a bit more information to comply with REAL ID but they have nearly all the control over the customer experience. Maybe the federal government could withhold funds for future updates to the systems if states don't meet some criteria for fast processing and better customer service but I won't hold my breath (though that would be great.)

Thanks for posting that. I clicked through a bunch of pages and read a decent portion of your journey.

I really want to try the van thing but there are a few hard factors preventing it for me. So, I live vicariously through such accounts from time to time.
Both are great points. Thanks!
Makes sense! I've had mine out and I'd consider my immune system the bad end of normal.

Although, I suppose if my immune system was so good before the appendicitis I wouldn't have gotten it in the first place?
For sheer entertainment value: I've just finished KC Alexander's two "SINless" books - Necrotech and Nanoshock. Both were excellent reads. Nothing heavy, just some extremely filthy and brutal transhumanist SciFi with a hint of cyberpunk in there too (not enough to make it that genre). Fast, frantic, gritty.

Great writing by a young bi-polar feminist writer with a great future.

Also, the introduction and the first few chapters of "Letters from the Desert" by Carlo Carretto.
Trouble with the free market here is that starting a new airline is all but impossible. Only so many slots available at airports and they’re all taken.

Yes, you can choose a more expensive airline but let’s not pretend Delta, United etc don’t also have huge delays and failures from time to time. Up until now Southwest’s reputation really hasn’t been bad, they’re no Frontier. No matter, there should be avenues for compensation.
I would assume that a statistically significant increase of accidents in an area is due to road design failure and not to lack of driver information. The obvious answer is to fix the road, not add more automated distractions to a drivers attention load.
First off, I was upfront about my ignorance. Secondly, copper is way more expensive than stainless steel, unless I’m missing something. More than 8x according to random websites on Google.

I’m sure there is a reason copper is used, but if the industry has to find an alternative, it would likely be cheaper.
https://vkguide.dev/ Might be a better alternative for 2022
Well, the issue unfortunately is that we know that but a thirty y-o hiring manager doesn't. A few years back I saw folks commenting on YouTube about the "good old days" of 2013 and had good sensible chuckle.

That's the way to get pretty good at something. Perhaps even master. But I don't think that is so likely to result in genius, at least how most people think of genius.
Using your own company's database application that is meant for managing physical objects in the field of cultural heritage and shoehorning it into a CRM and project management software is not a good idea IMO. One of the reasons given by the engineering leads was that this way, the software is tested internally before it ships to customers. It did break multiple times, even corrupting some records. Would not recommend. Do proper QA testing before upgrading your internal tools at least.

My manager shared this opinion and said, we can't sell our software with the argument that users need specialized software and do the exact opposite ourselves by using software that wasn't even remotely designed and fit for project management and the like. Custom solutions do also have certain advantages. But you get like 80% of what you want with common software, usually for a reasonable price and without the headache.

are all big players supporting it? is there a good document.

while this is all about graphics, I wonder how GPGPU will end up in the future. OpenCL did not get much love, CUDA still rules the market(leaves Intel's OneAPI and AMD's ROCm and the legendary OpenMP etc in the dust). Apple's Metal does both graphics and GPGPU, Vulkan is also said to do both graphics and GPGPU, not sure about Microsoft's, does it even have a GPGPU API considering it is the only player without its own hardware.

The value of the rowid btree is the row.
My ISP is Digi, which if I'm not mistaken is Romanian! Occasionally IP geolocators think I'm in Romania, even though doing a traceroute shows none of my traffic actually goes through Romania. I'm guessing they re-assigned some blocks of IPs over to their Spanish subsidiary and the geolocation databases haven't caught up yet.

I definitely don't have any way to take advantage of 10g, that's for sure. I guess WiFi 6 might be able to make some use of 2.5G. I'd upgrade for 1 euro more if I was you.

While this has been the prevailing sentiment for Germany, I wouldn't be so sure after the Volkswagen emission fiasco. At least Volkswagen seems pretty eager to work around QA laws...
I was laid off 3 times in my almost 30 years career. Every time it was difficult experiences, but I got some lessons from that.

I still member of two active "ex-..." communities. Those are most helpful and useful, especially when other people are getting there after me and it was a perfect cause to get back in touch, meet for drinks or get back on track with common hobby.

After first one I always open my piggy bank and do the things I wanted for a long time but had no time to do. Like getting a sailboat skipper licence and do a couple of gigs like deckhand on a voyage, repair or long haul. Or travel for a distant destination for a month.

Time between jobs is always great to get in touch with own body and mind, like doing a health checkup or visit short-term psychology group.

And of course it is a perfect time to spend more time with parents, relatives and friends.
I know several people who see the news about crime at the moment and think the police need larger budgets and that the recent lawsuits about police brutality in the news means police are hamstrung when it comes to apprehending anyone. They also make jokes like "How do you expect a social worker to stop a bank robbery"
But, but since we started the rewrite 123123 better JavaScript frameworks were released... we should rewrite the rewrite.
Yes, looking for link about history of emacs.
As memory serves, EMACs was written using the common 80's approach (from scratch, in non-device independent ways because predates c 89 standard & modular libraries didn't exist).
Currently, this is causing lots of headaches when trying to use/add/move things over to modern gui / standard modularized to avoid/minimize device dependence / leverage other projects useful to expand emacs)

Smaller project note: make was written as one shot thing with intend of about 5 people using it, hence decision to go with 'tab' and not space(s) at start of line.
This person doesn’t sounds neither professional nor very talented, no wonder it took them a year to get back on tracks.
The baggage of the defund language is that the rest of the government has already been defunded without complaint.

Calling it defund is an extra critique of funding police instead of social services
> The technology has been heralded for saving lives

The problems faced by emergency ski services are niche. If this technology doesn't give false positives outside of that niche I'd say it's pretty worth it. And fixing it for that niche is probably not that hard.

In general I'd say spend more resources if it meant saving more lives; inverse need not apply?
What do you think should happen to non-violent criminals? How would you enforce laws pertaining to non-violent crimes or are such acts by definition non-crimes under your worldview?
Seems like we can still ask for a fine, since having those things paid for doesn’t resolve massive headaches for all those people
Bra Theory was a startup in this space that gathered a lot of interesting experience. They had some good blog posts about their process, including resources for after their shutdown: https://web.archive.org/web/20200416224020/https://bratheory...

The US was an early example of the idea of a democratically elected government, and just so happened to come about by fighting, then winning a war against not only a monarchy, but arguably the most powerful monarchy that has ever existed. Before that, democracy seemed perhaps a good idea, but you're going to have naysayers who want to see a proven example. Proven track records are why anyone listens to anybody when it comes to influence.
The underlying belief to this is, is that more hours = more results = better results. I highly doubt that this is the truth.
Thanks for the explanation! I always knew that WSL1 was implemented on the Windows kernel and thought it was quite ambitious - props to them! I didn't know they moved to the VM model for WSL2.
I don't think it's entirely khronos support as basically each vendor what's to embrace, extend and extinguish it constantly.

CUDA is kind of winning it for nvidea.

If you do flight simulation, iPads can be good glass-cockpit displays.
Infrastructure automation tools like Pulumi or AWS CDK make this relatively straightforward... just deploy a new stack (or use the APIs to automate a deploy/test/destroy cycle.)

It's even possible with good old Terraform, used correctly.
By UI I meant that they're capable of creating beautiful user interfaces throught strong command of CSS on their own. This implies that they have a good eye for what looks good vs not. I guess this what we commonly refer to as graphic design but is implemented for real instead of living in a figma file.

They also have good design sense (UX). So they know what makes an intuitive UI and where to put things. They also can fill in on the designer's blind spots when doing the implementation of a design.
I did the same challenge this year, though I didn't use as “esoteric” languages (TeX… I love it :D), but I've made it more difficult than necessary by using the languages I'm familiar with first, before realizing this might be a mistake… I've written on my learnings on the AoC subreddit[0] and if you'd like to see my code, it's of course on GitHub[1].

I thought its pretty normal to reschedule a canceled flight by phone.
When I said "historical text", I meant "text from history", not "text of history". And, a text (religious or not) which makes factual claims, is itself evidence for those factual claims, although how strong evidence it is depends on factors such as the inherent plausibility of those claims, whether they contradict any other evidence we may have, etc.

Religious literature is a form of historical evidence. The LDS scriptures (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price) is historical evidence for the thinking of Joseph Smith and the early Mormons. The Quran and Hadith are historical evidence for early Islam and the life of Muhammad. The Scientology scriptures are historical evidence for L. Ron Hubbard. And, in the exact same way, Christian religious literature is historical evidence for the history of Christianity. Accepting all of this as historical evidence, doesn't mean we have to uncritically accept all of their claims – we can compare them to other sources (when they exist, they don't always do); we can judge the inherent plausibility of each claim, and justifiably be open to accepting the more historically probable claims of these texts while rejecting the miraculous elements of them. Of course, if one has a faith commitment to one of these religions, that might predispose one to accept rather than reject some of those miraculous claims, but then one isn't playing the language-game (Sprachspiel) of "secular history of religions" any more, one is playing a different language-game instead.
That was the inspiration for this site a few years back. I wasn't a Mac user at the time so couldn't even try Soulver myself but thought it was a cool idea.
Insane that the US has put all its eggs into one basket. One bad event and interregional passenger travel completely breaks down. Looks like it would be wise to invest in a more resilient mode of transportation.
On the other hand, I could see ChatGPT as a pretty useful study tool. “What are some essay prompts for XYZ class?” could be great to study from, especially if you also get the answers.

In any case, the author gives a great solution to the problem: oral exams. For humanities classes (for which ChatGPT is the biggest threat) it’s a more realistic measure of what you’ll actually want students to take away from the class. Oral skills are extremely underrated in academia, so maybe this can serve as a corrective measure.
Developers should want a system that actually renders text well. Windows and Linux have never done that.

The common mistake I see people make is presuming that the "buy" will deliver on their end of the deal. When they don't, that engineer making $100k is spending a lot of time (i.e., and money) writing support tickets, desperately trying to get it escalated to someone on the vendor's side who can actually do something, as inevitably you have to first peel away the layers and layer of customer support, account managers, "solution" people who aren't actually capable of fixing anything. (Even for some inanely simple questions, sometimes, things that I think "wow, a support rep. should actually be able to answer this, it's not a highly technical problem for once" and then, nope, it has to get escalated to eng., inevitably.)

The amount of my own salary that has gone towards "Azure support ticket monkey" is frankly frightening. And I have never once seen that included in the estimate for "buy".

Many of the "build" solutions I have run require <1 engineer to maintain. When they require maintenance (whether due to something needing an upgrade, new feature request, etc.), yeah, there's maybe a two or three week piece of work, but then there are months long spans where it just sort of hums along in the background.

Even outside of "support", I still end up having to dedicate eng time to "buy" solutions, to fill in gaps in their implementation. (E.g., an artifact store having read-your-writes bugs. Heck, Github Actions ("buy" of CI) has so many bugs in it that we hit in the course of adopting it…)

If they can manage the grid granularly enough and isolate critical environments like hospitals, nursing homes, etc., I really don't see a good reason for us to overbuild to handle the third standard deviation of electricity demand. It makes a lot more sense to set the expectation that on the coldest days of the year, your house may spend a few hours disconnected from the grid in order to shed load. Not only does the avoid overbuilding, but it also contributes to less overall fragility in society, because black swan events that happen once every 50 or 100 years are the sorts of things we can't build for anyway, so it's better if people are prepared to endure the unexpected from time to time anyway.
At two companies I recently (within 3 years) worked (one fortune 500, the other eternal hopeful start-up), developers used Linux (Debian, Ubuntu respectively) on their desktops. On a third company developers had laptops running a mixture of Windows and MacOS (given preference), but development was done within (remote) VMs sporting Linux. All US based (HQ in Silicon Valley), for all product/production servers were running Linux. Frankly, unless you explicitly write desktop applications for Windows or MacOS, I'd be surprised if you're not using Linux.
As far as I know you can't get out of it by saying "this definitely isn't a Disney product", no matter how clearly.
