>Evernote CEO Phil Libin announced at the recent Le Web London conference that the company will soon set up a protected fund and include a legally binding guaratee that users’ data will be maintained for 100 years

That almost sounds like a threat to commit a crime in certain jurisdictions. A lot has changed regarding how we talk about data in the last decade.
I've been doing the same for the past few years, but have yet to figure out a good way to sync things between my devices. Not that it bothers me too much, but sometimes I'd like to have that convenience.
Not sure if it's a bit over-priced, however, we replaced a gas furnace without A/C. The variable speed air-handler is amazing for constant low speed circulation and the energy savings with moderate temperature for 60-75 degree weather is incredible.

Also, I have 15k BTU available for one or two additional head units. I opted for this approach instead of under-sizing the heat pump or assuming we'd need the extra head unit and buying them during initial install. Half of our basement has no ducting so we thought a unit for heat would be nice. Also considered adding another unit in second floor landing for additional capacity. Not sure yet if we will.

My only complaint is the Kumo cloud is terrible.
I still can't view any content without signing in.
> Twitter is all about politics, current events, thought influencers, and work networking.

This is a rather narrow view of what the site is used for. It's also about media, art, and live music -- things that overlap heavily with Instagram.

For example, I've found that you unfortunately can't avoid Twitter when keeping up with the underground electronic music scene in the US. Discord and Reddit have made some strides in replacing it, but not much.
What have you tried? I'm not doubting your efforts. I think there's a very real wall people working to improve their working memory are bound to hit eventually, but I haven't explored things specifically designed to improve working memory.

I play video games, I play instruments, I write programs, and I have to imagine that all of it helps, but I haven't tried "brain training" or used tools marketed as improving working memory. I'm not even really sure what's on offer in that space, so if you've found some I'm curious to know about them.
Trademark dilution can have deadly consequences!
At the cost of having to lookup the validity of the reference token AND its claims on every request.

People use bearer tokens (with bearer claims) to improve system performance and availability … at the cost of increased complexity as now bearer tokens need both expiration and revocation mechanisms.

We do government contracts. Usually 8 figures. All waterfall (with JIRA and sprints, but it's still waterfall).

Agile makes it really difficult to get paid by milestones, and unless you have enough cash to float the entire development team's salaries until the project is finished, agile is not exactly conducive to those types of contracts.

I'm not against Agile, btw... I just get fed up with fanboys who are dogmatic about agile being the only, best way to develop software, and yet they have no real-world experience with large projects that must interact with other systems. Agile is great for when you don't know what you want to build. It's pointless when what you need to build is already well-understood and specified by contract.
I can understand them making it more difficult to accidentally cancel your membership, because that's how they make money. An "are you sure" or "please don't go" message doesn't annoy me.

Intentionally (?) breaking the site so that you can't cancel is another story.

Yeah and now we only really have OneNote, the web version of which still really sucks. You can't even search a whole notebook, just a section. And it needs to reload every day.
I think now Apple’s Notes app does this right now.
One trade-off is that you have a certain level of physical stickiness over software, especially if you have a large fleet of distributed hardware. Tearing out and replacing hardware is expensive and time consuming, that's assuming you can find the right people do it and they are available.
California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Washington, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, Montana, and Delaware need to get with the picture.

As you suggest it won’t show him. It should, however, show us what an absurdity it is that a man can lose $44 billion and not have it affect his life in any material way. The distribution of resources/wealth is grossly unfair. One person should not have so much while others have so little.
Blazor Server and WASM both have issues that make them non-starters for me, namely latency quickly gets out of hand for the former and the latter is far too heavy. The (unfortunate?) reality is that Javascript is unavoidable if you want good bundle sizes and client-side interactivity.

I find HTMX is a better alternative if I'm trying to write as little JS as possible, I find it smooths over the latency issue better and just lets me write normal web app code that feels like a SPA to use.
> you could probably put the obsidian vault directory inside of dropbox

I've done this and it seems to work fine.

In theory I guess you could end up with sync conflicts if you are literally editing the same note on two devices at the same time, in which case Dropbox will create a "Conflicted Copy" which will pop up in Obsidian so you can resolve it manually.

But in practice, because Obsidian saves pretty much constantly, and Dropbox syncs pretty much constantly, in a typical connected office use case you don't run into this much. If you work offline a lot, you might need to think about a more structured workflow (i.e. using Git). But for me it wasn't worth the hassle to commit/push every time I wanted to switch devices. Dropbox (and presumably the many Dropbox-like folder-sync tools) worked fine when I was testing it out.
Apple stores these unencrypted with government access by default, FYI. Opt into e2ee to disable that.

Originally, that function was just called "inlinePerformIO", with the relatively tame warning of:

> Just like unsafePerformIO, but we inline it. Big performance gains as it exposes lots of things to further inlining. Very unsafe. In particular, you should do no memory allocation inside an inlinePerformIO block. On Hugs this is just unsafePerformIO

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-0.9/docs/Data...

At some point, this function was moved to the newly created "Deprecated and unmentionable" group of functions with the comment

> Deprecated: If you think you know what you are doing, use unsafePerformIO. If you are sure you know what you are doing, use unsafeDupablePerformIO. If you enjoy sharing an address space with a malevolent agent of chaos, try accursedUnutterablePerformIO.

At this point, the two depreciated and unmentionable functions were actually just aliases of each other, with InlinePerformIO being depreciated, and accursedUnutterablePerformIO being merely unmentionable.

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-0.10.10.1/doc...

It wasn't until version 0.11.0.0 that the friendly sounding name was finally removed.
Another article from a media source that doesn't let the facts get in the way of collecting their share of advertising revenue from drug companies.

There is an old adage that is often repeated because it is so often true... "Follow the money". Simply put, many of the most outspoken members of the "Scientific Community" that "debunk" claims about vaccine safety are documented to be collecting paychecks from big pharma.

If we stop and listen to the skeptics view with an open mind - we might conclude that it's not such an open and shut case after all.

Why would anyone choose to blindly follow without question? Are we going to echo the words we hear from biased news sources with no attempt at engaging our own critical thought process?
I use dropbox to sync.
Git? Syncthing?
I think you need both.

If you teach maths in a JIT fashion, when do you learn "basic facts" like 3+4=7?

If you don't teach that stuff systematically, how do students get to the point where they feel they can apply maths reliably - e.g. adding prices together in their head?

So you need both - a solid foundation, plus applications using that foundation plus a bit more.
Most companies I have seen that do "agile" are doing waterfall. They have months long roadmaps (no agility). Ideas that are created by management, then they are estimated, scheduled, then designed, then user tested, then developed and tested (they press this into Scrumban to look agile and not be laughed at).

Rarely do I see a company that iterates over a feature until they get it right (See XP). Rarely do I see a company without a roadmap and people discovering and developing a feature together at the same time.

(Shameless Plug: It's so sad that I wrote about it in "Why we always end up with waterfall" [0])

No. Please, no!

For some reason, I get screenshots of text regularly from technical people. Log files, error messages, everything. It is like they forget Slack can send anything more than images and emojis.

No, I'm not typing out keywords from 3 pages of Java exception, nor am I typing an encoded AWS authorization message.
David Young's answer seems to give a precise mathematical criterion for deciding whether a language feature is mere syntactic sugar or more fundamental. Neat!

Threads hits 5M signups in the first four hours
Google says public data is fair game for training its AIs
Globally, annually, there is roughly 850 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) worth of containerized goods handled at ports worldwide.

Aside from container shipping there is raw bulk material shipping, eg: Western Australia ships > 800 million tonnes of raw ores to China annually (not local, not light).

Looking at just container shipping and the major major routes; there is

* 42 million TEU's intra asia (within asia, 'local' but not necc. 'short')

* 42 million TEU's 'far east' to Europe + North America.

and then a long tail of lesser volume routes, many quite lengthy (asia -> south americas, north | south americas, etc.)

Point being by "vast majority" are you talking raw ship numbers (there are many small ships) or cargo volumes | weights?

There is a truly vast amount of heavy tonnages being moved long distances and these consume the majority of shipping energy.

If this is your line of argument then it deserves some refining to move past a handwave.

Say it was possible to sit in a large public park and record every conversation within it. Would this decision mean that the state would be unable to ban the use of such technology?

If so, it strikes me as a dumb decision.
Strongly disagree. There are so many situations in which abusive people (employers, romantic partners, politicians) need to be caught unaware or they won't be caught at all.

Obviously there are lines to be drawn when we are talking about the government recording citizens. Warrants are an important check on power for this. But any individual should be able to record (mostly) anything. At the very least, it can save you money when a customer service rep claims they never said something. At most, it can keep you out of prison.
burntsushi, the code example after "we can also increase it by decreasing the size of our regex by disabling Unicode mode:" seems to be the same as the previous code example. Copy-paste mistake?
Vaults are workspaces and you can open multiple vaults simultaneously. You can also copy the .obsidian folder over so you don’t have to rebuild from scratch. But you do have to maintain manually.

I was 12-13 at the time. When I started programming it seemed really difficult. I didn't have access to the Internet back then.

But I saw it like me against the machine. Since I was youn I wanted to be an inventor. This tool allowed anyone to "invent" any software coming out of the inventor's imagination. It just required a computer, and the inventor not giving up and using his brain. I could do that. I liked the challenge.

Be a tinkerer, have fun! Discover things on your own. Dare to be stupid and do whatever stupid thing feels right. You don't need to follow some pre-programmed plan.

Programming is all about problem solving. You solve one problem, good. Now you will have another problem. No one guarantees you will solve it nor how much effort it will require specifically for you to solve it. And maybe it's the wrong problem to solve. But you will end up figuring all that out, and then you will feel accomplished and willingly hunt the next problem.
Notion is markdown formatted text only right?

Big difference with a full wysiwyg notebook with attachments. Afaik notion only does images. Devs love markdown but regular users don't.

If you're willing assume a Linux platform and a Python installation, you can do something like:

The problem with Twitter competitors was/is the very thing you mention - lack of accounts to follow. Threads solves this I think sufficiently.

What will keep me from using it at least as of today is that I can’t tell it to only show content (plus ads I guess) of accounts that I follow. I never ever ever want to see posts from some influencer or something - if they pay to advertise then fine, but otherwise hell no.

So far Twitter has the staying power for me but I’m excited to see what develops here.

The private high school in my small NZ town costs half of the before tax salary of someone on minimum wage. For a good IT job in this town, probably still 1/2 to 1/3 of your after tax salary. Private schools here are very much a minority option.

Even on my bigger-city tech salary, putting both of my kids through private high school would be about 1/3 to 1/2 my after tax income.

Yes it's an option, but it's a big sacrifice.

(TL;DR: Cory Doctorow)
I expect this to go over like a lame Internet Dad joke...

In the mid 1990s it was all about modems and dialups. 'Dial-Up-Networking' often forced people to type in passwords even after it was told to remember them. Discovering why required an investigation of files and registry and a meticulous tech support session. Not surprisingly most people just shrugged it off and kept typing passwords.

But CAPSLOCK kept tripping them (I remove the keycap and put black tape over the switch). Be they neophytes or drunks, we were getting 20-50 cant-log-in calls a day with this simple remedy. And it seemed they didn't learn, but that was just a stream of new people. I had decided * characters masking the password field was evil and inhuman. This may not sound like a big number but some of the calls got you out of bed at 3am and aside from that everything was going smoothly.

Our Ascend MAXes made RADIUS calls to assign connection profiles from user/pw pairs. Our usernames were already case insensitive. I delved into the RADIUS source code and added a step to the password process: If "mYpASSWORD123" failed, it would immediately flip the case and try "MyPassword123" and let them in if it worked, logging the username as 'caps-corrected'. Within a month we had over 1000 corrections. This was not like ignoring case which is definitely bad practice. The case flip trick only decreased alpha password space by half.
Do you like the idea of OpenAI logging all of your private notes for all time (and receiving a copyright sublicense for them from Evernote)?
Maybe my comment wasn't clear. That figure isn't great - we just divided the total amount of freshwater diverted to some kind of use by the population. That even includes letting water flow past hydropower turbines. It's obviously too big.

But not counting the water used to put food on your table is too small. So this establishes some bounds.
