In my experience, the model is very useful when writing a single doc. For questions like "Should we include x", the response can be "No, this is a guide not a tutorial, so the user needs to learn about x somewhere else", or whatever.

I've seen several companies try to follow it pedantically as a structure for their docs (like literally having a sidebar with the four categories) and I've never seen that work out well, for the reasons explained in the article and the other comments here.
True! Vega did experience quite some trouble in the past too.
Not too far off. I got 5 quotes recently. Most are from $17,500 for $19,000 for a 3.5 ton Mitsubishi heat pump, with an outdoor condenser unit and an indoor fan+coil unit. Permit and inspection from the city add another $1,000.
Absolutely agree regarding ISPs and Intuit/TurboTax but Boring is not a good example.
Actually the Nim wrapper use none of the above, instead compiles and links the static library per project, recompiling only when the C source files has changed. Allows for the best flexibility if you are using nim.
I think part of the problem, but also reason for existing, of the growth whatever it takes mindset is, that as long as there is growth, no matter how artificial or not, you can keep up make-belief, that the business is viable and investors are going to belive either just that, or that they can enter now and exit before the bubble bursts. It does not matter to most investors, whether the business is actually viable in the long run, or makes any sense, as long as they see or believe there to be an opportunity to extract money out of the bubble.

A bit like trying to extract energy out of vacuum, except, that due to our believe system of economics, it can actually work for them.
"If it's the latter, what you're really struggling with is not the library, but the domain it's trying to represent."

But this doesn't change anything of the programmers problem. If I stumble on a bug in a physics libary I am using for a game, I cannot just jump right into there and go fixing things. I mean I can start doing it, but at the cost of not getting anything else done for quite some time.

There are lots of hard domains in programming. Cryptography is hard. Networking is hard. Fast rendering is hard. Efficient DBs are hard. OS are hard. Drivers are hard.

You can maybe fix a trivial error in such libaries, but everything else is usually a (big) project on its own.
I don’t think recording and hacking are equivalent.

Recording is a passive act that entirely takes place entirely within the territory of the person doing the recording.

Whereas hacking involves accessing a computer system that is in a different jurisdiction, which necessarily involves actively communicating with it and sending it commands.

Recording a call is more like listening to a radio station. Countries may make it illegal to listen to certain communications, but as soon as those radio waves leave that jurisdiction then they are fair game for anyone who wants to listen to them.

Pretty much everybody should be cautious about entering the US!
Absolutely - I've been rediscovering books lately. Although it is hard - the years of interneting did a number on my attention span and habits.

I used to be a voracious reader when I was a kid. That book I mentioned - the Royal Road to Romance - I remember how smitten I was by that book when I was 14. Now it felt really slow (compared to YouTube shorts) and I had trouble getting into it. But once I did, the sparks of the old excitement appeared again. Completely different feeling than after 2 hours of YouTube shorts.

Books are great but I am sure that there is a lot of content on the internet written because someone genuinely wanted to say something (and BTW, not that books written as products are that rare either). It's just harder and harder to find it.
> How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about

There are great note-taking apps that only a few people work on. Tana, Obsidian, Bear, UpNote come to mind, but there are many more. So it's definitely not a problem. It sucks for the old Evernote staff, but it doesn't have to suck for users, it might even be what Evernote needs, since it's pretty ancient in its feature set compared to the competition.

Hi there! I wrote in the above comment that it's planned. We'll support arbitrary folder (switch from DB), develop our mobile up (switch from QWidgets to Qt Quick), and develop our own built-in sync option.

Currently, you can change the database location to your synced folder (Dropbox, etc...) in the settings, but some users reported data conflicts while others said it works fine. You can try this but I'll wait till we officially switch from DB.
Thanks! (:
I read it was another employee, so maybe their impression got miscommunicated and the CEO assumed the worst - except without any evidence. Which is still bad behavior given that he hasn't addressed the recording evidence publicly. IIRC he Kafkaesquely accused the very act of recording as evidence of aggression/blackmailing, which is just totally out to lunch IMO.
I have a small vps as one of my syncthing nodes, and every device syncs with that central server in addition to syncing with eachother. This removes the need to keep everything online at the same time as the vps is always online, receiving and propagating changes from any device.

> Whether due to unfamiliarity or genuine opacity, some of the shorter solutions will be incomprehensible to some (most?) people. So while technically more expressive, what good is that if you can't read the solution, let alone write it?

How many people can read advanced math formulas? Mostly none. So what good is it that they are used?

The answer is, it doesn't really matter if outsiders can't read it. Yes, it increases the hurdle to enter the field, but the benefits drastically outweight the initial learning in the long term.

Same is true (even more so, I would say) for programming languages.
It's an overstatement that people "can decide for themselves". For starters, nobody asked them if they agree with the system, people are just born into it. Same for their initial starting point in the system (e.g. born into poverty, born black, etc), which largely determines their fate and position it. Sure, some can overcome their unequal starting point, but only by working much harder than people who didnd't have to overcome theirs. That's not only not an equal game, it's not even a meritocratic one.
"How did you gain this confidence to take the first step from being a tinkerer to being a skilled craftman?"

With the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan recovering rapidly, there is a growing movement among railway companies to introduce a new simultaneous translation system in order to facilitate smooth exchanges at counters.

Seibu Railway will introduce a new system of simultaneous translation on a trial basis from the 10th of this month at the window of Seibu Shinjuku Station.

The system supports 12 languages including English and Chinese.

Why isn't there a single mention of the reason Poland wants nukes in this multi-paragraph tirade?.

Belarus now has a number of Russian controlled nuclear weapons on its territory bordering Poland.

This is a direct escalation by Russia against Poland.

> To prevent even the possibility of a hostile alliance placing missiles on its doorstep, the USA would have acted militarily the same way much sooner than Russia, wouldn’t wait 8 years trying to reason with diplomacy. And many people around the world would understand that. And they did (eg in Cuban missile crisis).

But its literally hasn't happened in over 60 years, your example of Cuba is old at this point it would be a in a retirement home.

> As for nukes — the US has broken every promise it ever made about NATO expansion.

No one ever made promises about NATO expansion that once again, as is a large majority of your opinions straight from the Kremlins playbook and Russian propaganda.

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/did-nato-promise-not-to-e...

>> The interviewer asked why Gorbachev did not “insist that the promises made to you [Gorbachev]—particularly U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s promise that NATO would not expand into the East—be legally encoded?” Gorbachev replied: “The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. … Another issue we brought up was discussed: making sure that NATO’s military structures would not advance and that additional armed forces would not be deployed on the territory of the then-GDR after German reunification.

> Why would any country ever trust the US when it says it won’t expand or place nukes somewhere? Nuclear Sharing is already very widespread.

You're telling me one of the NATO policies that helps defend a country against further Russian aggression is widespread and popular, I for one am shocked.

> And they already started building an “anti-nuclear” battery in Poland, ever closer to Russia’s borders, which conveniently could also double as a “nuclear” launch facility.

What kind of propaganda rubbish is this even, what does this sentence even mean?.

> it caused Russia to pull out of its nuclear treaties with USA, making the world less safe for everyone. And for what?

Thats not what Putin said though.

>> President Vladimir Putin has said Russia is suspending participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty with the United States after accusing the West of being directly involved in attempts to attack its strategic air bases.

> Oh and 5 days ago: Poland wants USA to give it NUCLEAR WARHEADS FOR ITS PLANES. Well, that didn’t take long:

Yeah sounds like Poland wants to defend itself from a Russian invasion via Belarus that involves nuclear weapons.

Which is looking more likely now that Russia has established PMC bases in Belarus and is placing nuclear weapons in Belarus.

Russia needs to respect Polands legitimate security needs.

Thanks for making this. I look forward to trying it tonight. A few thoughts:

1. Any chance for a mobile version with cloud sync? Qt compiles for mobile too, after all. I access my notes from my phone all the time so this is a must for me.

2. How come so many indie devs are off making their own notes app instead of pooling their efforts? For example off the top of my head QOwnNotes is a Qt widget note app, and a QML-based one I think is called Noter but which I can't find anymore now.

3. Judging from the UI I take it you're an Evernote user, or used to be? There was a post today about all the Evernote staff being laid off, so I feel pressured to move away ASAP. Other than Joplin do you have any recommendations that work on mobile?

> And the nuclear clock moves ever closer to midnight…

It started moving before this article, in fact Poland wanting nukes is a direct response to a nuclear escalation by Russia.

That is Russia placing Russian nuclear weapons on Polands border in Belarus, so now Russia has multiple nuclear weapons likely pointing at areas in Europe or Poland on two of its borders.

IMO: Consumers will adapt to the reality, as humans always do. Once people adjust to the fact that popular brands are generally strip-mined for profit, brand loyalty will drop and keep dropping, consumers will become warier of lock-in, and the enshittification playbook will be less and less effective.
Metis Optimized Queries Executed by Sequelize – Part 2
We continue our journey into how Metis can prevent, monitor, and troubleshoot our databases. In previous part we started playing with Sequelize, a feature-rich ORM for TypeScript. This time we’re going to see more challenging examples. We are going to see actual insights provided by Metis and how they improve the query performance.
But wait you are making my argument:

1) progress was stopped due to regulation which is what we are talking about is needed

2) that was done after a few deaths

3) we agree that self driving can be done but its currently stalled. Likewise we do not disagree that AGI is possible right?

We do not have the luxury to have a few deaths from a rogue AI because it may be the end.
Steve or not doesn't improve anything about the situation, even worse, since it wouldn't even hurt his ego to apologize on behalf of employee he chose radio silence instead, it just shows the intent is to make third party devs fuck off the platform by whatever means necessary

At my company we're working on building smart boilers, where what's actually heating the water is servers. We then send customers computation to those boilers.

My main confidence boost was a senior developer that answered every question even if it was the most stupid one that you could imagine. He would sit down and explaine it to you like you were three years old. Sometimes he at first would say to look for solution by yourselfe or just give you a hint that was enoughe to figure it out by yourselfe.

At the first company that I worked for I quit after a week because everyone took a task and worked for themselfe. None developer had time to explaine something to you and no documentation.
Moreover the most important thing people that deny risk is the following:

It doesn't matter at all if experts disagree. Even a 30% chance we all die is enough to treat it as 100%. We should not care at all if 51% think it's a non issue.

As someone who grew up with evap cooling in the desert - it's effectiveness really falls off quickly > 90 degrees f or so. I have no citations, this is just my experience, but 95+ degree days I was dropping bags of ice into the evap coolers basin and spraying it with (cool) well pumped water to help cool down the air as it came into the home.

So, while maybe you could continuously cycle cool water into it, most places where it's getting that hot don't have abundant supplies of fresh cool water. In my experience.

I have little faith. FB degenerated year after year, in a blazing arc of self-destruction that almost everyone understood was going to kill the app. Yet these user-hostile changes were continually justified internally as 'increasing views and clicks', which must have required an unbelievable degree of institutional obtuseness.

I can already see similarities in Threads, and it's only just begun:

1. Threads is app-only, there is no desktop version.

2. Your feed is populated by algorithmically sourced content, not just the posts of the accounts you follow.

3. You can't delete threads without deleting the Instagram account it's coupled with.

I would also argue:

4. You can't make a threads account without signing up to Instagram.

All four are attempts to increase company metrics, but which are clearly user-hostile, and will ultimately backfire. I actually find (1) to be inexplicably stupid.

It was a different employee than Steve on the call that apparently perpetuated the misunderstanding despite it being cleared up immediately and the employee apologizing; however, Steve continued to repeat the claim after Apollo Dev had refuted and proved the claim false, which the media (such as The Verge) had picked up.

So though it was not originated from Steve, Steve perpetuated it when he should have known better.
I think it's completely reasonable to describe the user-perceived degradation of a feature, regardless of its importance, for the purpose of benefit to the business and its profits, as "enshittification". Your opinion differs, but my opinion is not "false". I mean, believe what you want, but you're trying to invalidate my opinion by simply sharing your own, which I'm not sure has much purpose at all in a conversation.
