These Wysiwyg MD editors are either very popular to make or use though. I don’t know why.
I think there is use for good WYSIWYG-Markdown integration. Can't really speak for others but, when writing longer forms of content (technical blog posts, docs, etc.) Markdown becomes a bit more difficult for me to navigate. I always fallback to a visual editor (even if it's just StackEdit) and then try to somehow convert that content back to Markdown destination (which can sometimes be hard).

Vrite's primary format is JSON, but with MD shortcuts, parsing on paste and parsers converting JSON to MD, I think it integrates quite nicely in most cases.

As a windows power user using OSX for work, does your tool allow you to cycle through open windows by repeating the button?

While I do love cmd+` for window switching in OSX, I still prefer Win+#### (repeated taps of the same number like Win+1,1,1) to cycle through my chrome windows in a known order. (So Win+1,1 always opens my second chrome window).

Also for anyone else in this situation, is there a way to click on an app in the OSX dock and have it not surface every single window all at once? 2 years of OSX and I still struggle when all 6 chrome windows are surfaced and drown out my perfectly arranged other work.
What makes them tourists and not explorers? I get the 19 year went along to spend time with his dad, but the others had some affiliation.

His father had apparent been fascinated with the Titanic since he was young.

The pilot and founder of Oceangate had built his own submersible.

One of the men was nick named “Mr Titanic” due his studying of the Titanic.
My company followed the lead of big tech when it came to stuff like remote work and layoffs, and I'm desperately waiting for them to do the same with this one. We currently have one EM and one PM for 4-6 engineers, plus more project managers, directors, VPs. This group of 30-40 managers in every division has nothing to do but set up meetings and create more useless work for everyone. Everything is stuck in a dozen committees. We haven't shipped anything of note in years, and yet people keep patting each other on the back for a job well done and getting promoted.

There is a lot more backstory here.

When James Cameron designed Deepsea Challenger with Ron Allum (his sub designed to go to the deepest known point on earth) he was competing against another team. For structural integrity under repeated compression/decompression, he used steel for the hull of his vessel. The other team was using a composite hull like OceanGate was using. James Cameron raised strong engineering concerns against using a composite hull and told the competing team that they would die if they used that technology due the the risk of the hull shattering under repeated compression/decompression cycles. In the end, Cameron won the challenge by diving to the lowest known point on earth and the other sub was never used. He went much, much deeper in his sub than the Titantic site (which he has also explored many times).

So when OceanGate lost their vehicle, it was basically (in Cameron's view) confirming what Cameron had said all along. It would be like if you had been warning for years that building houses out of straw was a fire risk and then someone's straw theater burned down.

James Cameron's point was that there has been over 70 years of engineering work done on deep sea subs to make them safe and that the OceanGate team was ignoring that knowledge and taking unnecessary risks.
That's particularly egregious—what percentage of people with an HSA or similar is likely to be spending money from it more than once every few months??

This is just you presenting your preexisting beliefs.

We saw a widely publicized and long career of false data in biology over the past couple of years following roughly the same structure (just sticking garbage data into excel spreadsheets). Methodological errors and publication bias are also widespread in CS. When I was in grad school, the method I was told to use to choose tools was to choose the second best tool in a paper, since the authors' tool was invariably the best but their evaluations were inherently less likely to transition into my work.

Drawing a further conclusion that whole entire fields of research are simply untrustworthy based on media coverage of bad actors, especially as a nonexpert, is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The field that is actually tackling the reproducibility crisis even in a small way is Psychology. This is one reason why there are so many "X doesn't actually replicate" headlines. Yes, replication studies should be even more common. But it is hard to conclude that the social sciences are uniquely horrible when Psychology is actually ahead of the curve here.
> So, what would voters hope to get out of the deal?

Well, if teacher total comp has been declining (health insurance getting worse without getting cheaper, and often while getting more expensive; wages not keeping up with inflation, especially post-Covid) and the headline says "scores decline again..." (emphasis mine) I'd think, scores going back to what they were when teacher compensation was better, is what the voters might hope to get out of the deal. I think some other things might also need to change, but I don't see a path to that outcome that doesn't involve significantly higher pay.

But, maybe the US doesn't need stronger public education. Maybe it's not as important to democracy as some suppose. Maybe it's not as important to having a strong developed-world economy as some suppose. We aren't the most-educated place on Earth, but it's still possible it's true that we don't need to educate our children any better than we are now.
Dense? Who's the one who missed the joke, and then doubled down on missing the point?

The parent is excited because the game they like to play is so baroque and complicated, that full participation requires external data processing (yes I know you don't have to use Excel or anything else, but amongst the dozen or so regular EVE Online players I know, including one former EO QA tester, every single one uses Excel to some extent to track their game, so YMMV). The point is not every game needs visibility at the API level, so why should the game developers waste time providing it. My grandma's casino sim games don't need an API; wins and losses are tracked quite easily in the app. If you need an API and an external tool to play Farmville or some such, I think you're missing the point just a touch. Does my city building sim need an API? I guess I can think of a few things that an API could provide. Would I use it? Why, it's just a game.

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If the game you like needs an API, everything need an API. Same mentality.
What a poor take.

Tyson talks about science, and works to popularize it. The better analogy here would be after a space shuttle accident they ask a former NASA astronaut for their opinion and to share their own personal experience traveling to space.

From Wikipedia:

In 2011, Cameron became a National Geographic explorer-in-residence.[132] In his role on March 7, 2012, he dived five miles deep to the bottom of the New Britain Trench with the Deepsea Challenger.[133] 19 days later, Cameron reached the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.[134][135][136] He spent more than three hours exploring the ocean floor, becoming the first to accomplish the trip alone.[134][137]
Reading the terms of service is the most important thing; almost everything else is immaterial.

I am working from information derived from the terms of service: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

For a small example of what I mean:

> GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you. GitHub will protect the contents of private repositories from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care.

When talking about confidentiality, GitHub is specific to mention unauthorised access, implication is here that GitHub has the authority to authorise themselves.

The next section talks about how they will grant access to third-parties, but it's clear that as a first party they exclude themselves from the moniker of "unauthorised".
Jon Bentley notes in Programming Pearls that performance is secondary to correctness.

I thought he'd included an anecdote about a consultant tasked with solving an optimisation problem at an industrial concern who unveils his solution. A complaint is raised: yes, the method finds the correct solution, but it is slower than the old method (which didn't achieve the correct solution).

The consultant, perhaps something of a novice when it came to client relationships communications, responded that if he didn't have to find the correct answer to the problem, he could make his system much faster.

I don't find that in either PP or More Programming Pearls, however. Unfaithful memory.
Where was the “courage” to quote this article while it was happening? This was exactly what I was saying but it was drowned it by people saying it was for the “little guys” which was lies.

Hydraulics don't get hot while in use unless you introduce air into the system, in which case they do get hot and explosive. This is called hydraulic dieseling and microdieseling. The passengers would have been surrounded by oxygen and CO2 gas, and the oxygen tank would rupture as soon as the capsule imploded.
Forgot to mention underlying ProseMirror (https://prosemirror.net/) as well. It's doing "even-heavier" lifting and is necessary for implementing more complex mechanisms like the code editor integration or various side-menus.
Using the equals sign (=) for assignment is unfortunate. Mathematically, a=a+5 is confusing. Algol 60 (and its grandchild Pascal) are a bit better and represent this as a:=a+5, but this is an odd notation too. A left pointing arrow would be a better notation for the common assignment statement, at least to me.

Does this mean I'm ready to embrace the use of mathematical notation via unicode glyphs in programming? No. I have a math degree and after dozens of university courses on math I've seen a lot of math notation. This notation uses a dizzying number of symbols across various mathematical disciples. LaTeX allows one to use any of 75 distinct kinds of arrows alone! Left, right, doubled, up, down, diagonal to the upper right, looped, long, bidirectional, harpooned, wiggly, maps-to, and so forth. That's just the arrows. Why does LaTeX allow typesetting with so many distinct arrows? Because mathematicians use them as distinct concepts.

I count 160 relational symbols available for use with standard LaTeX: less-than, equal, equivalent, congruent, subset, parallel, similar, approximate, the list goes on and on. See [1].

Mathematicians don't even use these symbols consistently. Consider the ubiquitous lambda, appearing all over in functional programming. Surely, the use of a lower-case greek lambda is prettier than spelling out the word 'lambda', but it may in many contexts not stand for an anonymous function. It's use as a symbol can also mean: wavelength of any wave, number of offspring, radioactive decay constant, occurrence density within a time interval, eigenvalues, charge density, Lagrange multiplier, empty string, and so forth. Wikipedia lists 24 distinct uses for lambda, [2].

Why do mathematicians, engineers, and scientists use so many different symbols? Because they are doing something fundamentally different with them than programmers. They use the symbols as abbreviations that will be understood by their audience, which might be students watching a lecture, readers of a technical article, or even themselves at some time in the future. The context in all of these uses is very different than the context of a program. The program must be precise and unambiguous, and the program may be one hundred times longer than a published math paper. For this reason, spelled out identifiers and keywords using standard ASCII glyphs are wordier and less "pretty" but are far more practical.

Planes get grounded when they have missing or nonfunctional parts. E.g., commercial jets can't fly if the toilets don't work, even though the toilet is not critical to aviation safety.

Imagine you have four multimillion dollar aircraft that can't fly because some small part that is out of production broke. You need those planes to fly missions. How much would you pay to put them back into service?
Kinda why I like embedded development for my hobby. Can still understand all or most of the stack and tinker with it.
That explanation doesn’t hold water.

The issue in government contracting is very simple. You need competitive procurement to ensure reasonableness of price. Period. In the 90s, we allowed major defense contractors to consolidate at the prime level and diversify at the subcontractor level.

So Lockheed Martin has some component of every system in 300 congressional districts - some little company is fabricating magical bolts to get congressional support.

So now these giant companies are all sole source vendors. Guess what happened to price?
"accuses" seems like the wrong word here when it feels like OceanGate was pretty open about cutting corners.
I didnt say "if and only if" -- this is a conceptual analysis condition which applies only under deductive analysis.

> banks and payment processors

OTOH, I doubt the banks themselves are doing it for personal moral reasons, rather because of outside pressure. They're doing it out of fear of the power that picketers have over their actual livelihood.
It was relatively cheap to hedge the interest rate risk. Most banks did that. SVB didn’t.
It would be great if there was a mode that allows you to see the full markdown syntax (while still applying formatting implied by the markdown). I personally find it strange to remove / add invisible characters.
Because they know the speed of light and the distance between nodes so they can account for the propagation delays of light due to distance.

You also have requirements that are very different than other industries. Make a part for Boeing? All the plans, production records, testing and certifications, need to be kept for 50 years
> I'm less likely to text something I'll regret because it is so hard to text.

Heh. I picked up a feature phone about 8 years ago and used it a lot. At first, I thought that the only way to enter text was one letter at a time, multiple keypresses, you know, 4-4-4, 7-7, 3-3-3, etc.

And then I discovered T9 input mode, and I was off to the races. I got in an SMS-argument with a colleague and I was sending multi-line rants thanks to T9. I was soon sorry that I ever figured that out.

The feature phone was really nice, though; it ran KaiOS, and it was theoretically integrated with Google services, such as Calendar, Contacts, and Gmail. The integration was extraordinarily poor, though, especially once MFA was enabled on the account, and I quit using the integrations, which was especially painful with a Calendar which was now blank and never reminded me of anything while I was out and about.

The web browser was super and I loved the ability to just go on the web and see a page. That is the point where I discovered weather.gov is the best weather forecast site ever, because that was the only site that worked with the mobile browser without spamming ads all over the page.
I’d strongly urge you to watch an interview with him or one of the many documentaries he’s been a part of.

Personally I think he knew the outcome earlier this week and waited to speak to the media out of respect for the families. His first interview was hours after the implosion announcement.

As he says, it’s a very tight knit community in which he is a part of and has been for almost 30 years. I think he’s trying to use his voice to ensure that collateral damage does not occur to other less reckless submersible makers, who in turn tried to warn OceanGate.
Thawed. Scientists thawed rat organs.
> I wish we had more open APIs!

Do you mean in Path of Exile or in games in general? Afaik most of the economy stuff in PoE is behind an API that's relatively open(you have to request access, but you pretty much always get it).

The complexity in Path of Exile is less in the economy and more in build creation though. With tools like Path of Building that you can spend almost as many hours in as you're playing the actual game(or you just copy what someone else did like most people).
Astronomers discover new link between dark matter and clumpiness of the universe
Most of it, probably. These sort of contracts operate on a cost plus basis where the profit margin that Boeing takes home is fixed ahead of time. I hear from people doing software for defense contractors that they spend a lot of time being bored not doing anything productive, but by collecting their salaries they increase the cost of the software, which is the only way for the defense contractor to increase its profit.
Off topic, but damn! Richard Garriott is on that list!! I love the guy, man I remember playing Tabula Rasa all those years ago... And kind of crazy now that I know Gabe Newell own one of the very few subs that can do this kind of depth... And that the Titan was piloted with a gaming controller...
Idk, that isn't the sense I got from "It is absolutely trivial to show Hyp2 is false", but sure, I agree with you that this evidence certainly ought to tip the scales one way and not the other.
What makes an explorer an explorer? To me, and to most people, I would think it means to find something previously undiscovered.

Nobody was calling the passengers on the MIR submersibles that have been visiting the titanic since the 90's "explorers" because it was already discovered and heavily documented.

At some point it ceases to be considered "exploration". Also, most explorers have been paid to do the exploration, not the other way around.
And they can also repurpose your data for ML, or otherwise illicitly pilfer your data, without you turning a random dependency visualization on. There seems to be an idea here that turning it off will change something, like how there are people adamant that Windows 10 has secret tracking features, yet believe they can defeat them using regedit. I'm afraid this is the technical equivalent of "swiper no swiping!"

And to be clear I'm not saying Github or Windows is doing this, I'm just saying either you trust them to keep their word or you don't

>Until 2010, Boeing charged an average of $300 for a trash container used in the E-3 Sentry, a surveillance and radar plane based on the 707 civilian airliner. When the 707 fell out of use in the United States, the trash can was no longer a “commercial” item, meaning that Boeing was not obligated to keep its price at previous levels, according to a weapons industry source who spoke to RS.

That's the 2nd paragraph of the article that you apparently didn't read.
I think that only applies to variations of “non stick” or grease repellant paper bags, which is often used by fast food joints to avoid the food sticking to the paper.
OceanGate Was Warned of Potential for Catastrophic Problems with Titanic Mission
Yeah from what I understand the Pentagon was going to retire the A-10 at some point due to airframe hours. Instead they just paid another company to build new wings for it. Although they obviously had to be similar to the original ones, the new wings were basically a totally separate R&D effort followed by a manufacturing contract for them.
Nice. I have been on the lookout for a collaboration platform to keep docs + help plan dev, will give Vrite a look as well.
npr had an article about one nsa operation.

https://www.npr.org/2019/09/26/763545811/how-the-u-s-hacked-...

Ransomware attacks bother me enough that sometimes I fantasize that this sort of thing was the standard response. Sure go ahead and hit a US company with a ransomware attack. But be aware that there is a good chance it puts you in the crosshairs of a nsa battalion whose whole mission is to ruin your day. Perhaps not the smartest team but they are motivated, have incredible resources and the ability to operate while legally protected by the us government.

Then I sober up and realize why this is a terrible idea.
Reflog is data local to a git node, not part of the repository. In particular reflogs are never transmitted between remotes. so “clearing the reflog” (presumably of your local machine) has nothing to do with removing any data at GitHub. You need to contact support for that which the docs advise you to do if you’ve force pushed over something you want to be fully deleted.
"On the startup bailout. It is claimed that the startups who put all their cash in SVB will now be forced to close, so get going with the bailout now. It is not startups who lose money, it is their venture capital investors, and it is they who benefit from the bailout.

Let us presume they don't suffer sunk cost fallacy. You have a great company, worth investing $10 million. The company loses $5 million of your cash before they had a chance to spend it. That loss obviously has nothing to do with the company's prospects. What do you do? Obviously, pony up another $5 million and get it going again. And tell them to put their cash in a real bank this time."
