My six-year-old rant still mostly applies (there've been some improvements to tag editing, and there's now in-article search for the Android app), but Pocket still massively underdelivers, increasingly as one relies on it more.

Most recently, I found I had to revert to a six-month-old version of the app in order to have both paginated navigation and to be able to open the "web view" in app ... which is where occasionally useful things such as tag editors live. Thread here: <https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/110680672833582286>

That said ... I've largely given up on Pocket delivering what I would like to see, and if I can steer discussion here, I'd really like to know what Android-specific and/or e-ink tablet tools people have for managing large article repositories on device.

I'm familiar with Zotero and Calibre, though both are desktop only, as well as Wallabag.

About 20 years ago, they were called Rangers, modeled after the Army Rangers, soldiers who could venture out into enemy territory with no support and accomplish missions out there.

About 15 years ago, the program evolved into Microsoft Certified Masters, and it included both internal staff and specialized outside consultants. (I was one of about 200 MCMs worldwide for SQL Server.)
From 2013-2017, Japan had a site, Daisuki.net, which looked like a pirate site, but was funded by the Cool Japan Fund, a venture fund run by the government and some of the big banks.[1] The government's goal was to promote Japanese culture; they were worried abut competition from K-pop.

Sadly, that site is gone.

I’m a casual racing fan. I enjoy it, but typically don’t follow it or go out of my way to put it on.

For me, constantly seeing /r/formula1 in my feed was an inciting factor for me. F1 also did well to adjust race durations to make them short and sweet.

Lastly, the variety of locations is extremely interesting to me. F1 is one of the few global sports.
Having a clear value proposition and developing a unique insight is almost certainly not enough for securing funding. Doubly so in this environment (exceptions like Mistral AI exist, but I wouldn't bet on that). Build an MVP, get some traction (aka paying customers), prove out your value prop. I don't want to be too negative (trying to do something similar in fact!), but there's definitely some real upfront work and hustle required before you can start even thinking about measuring successes.
tl;dr: If you build a website that includes part of the URL in the output, someone can get your whole site taken down by submitting a takedown request citing a URL with something illegal in it. E.g. www.example.com/?echo=09+F9+...
Right but the earlier you catch your mistake the more time you'll save in total.

Generally people use 10x on cost at every subsequent step. Andy Grove famously talked about how this made the FDIV pentium bug cost Intel untold millions instead of pennies.

He said when the mistakes and decisions seemed free early on, that's actually when they were the most expensive.

As more commitments were made towards the design, it became costlier to back out. Then they discovered it after production and shipping, and by then it became so costly and famous people still remember it 30 years later.

To be more direct, if someone doesn't know how to do it right they Shouldn't Be Doing It. If someone can't fly a plane, they shouldn't be flying planes. If someone can't operate a construction crane, they shouldn't be operating one.

Same thing here. If they're doing it wrong because that's all they know, they are unqualified. They should not be given the responsibilities.

So that method of doing what you're familiar with is the cost of incompetency. Planes and cars crash under incompetent hands and software doesn't fare much better.
I discovered the other day that WhatsApp (on Android at least) will not let you start a conversation with someone without selecting them from your contacts.
>but it just has a huge culture around piracy and fansubs

Simulcasting killed most of the culture around fansubs since pirate groups could now just steal both the video and subs from crunchyroll, amazon, hidive, etc. There is no longer a point in taking a Japanese release and packaging it up for English audiences when the English release happens at pretty much the same time.
It's really concerning to me, young people today seem to get stuck in these content ghettos and a lot of them don't even seem to be aware of it. If it's not in the streaming catalogue, they probably haven't heard of it. And when they hear about something they might initially be interested, but then all interest evaporates once you tell them they'll have to pirate it. It almost feels like media companies are erasing the past so that their modern slop doesn't have to compete with the portion of past content that was good (I'm not saying that all old anime was good of course. I just want to say this before somebody trots out the "ackshully, most old stuff was bad and you just don't hear about it anymore" argument.)

Piracy lets you watch the best content of past eras, which gives you context to evaluate modern content. And a lot of modern content doesn't come out looking very good once you have this context. Fortunately classic literature is still easy to get, but with anime/movies it's becoming difficult.
> whereas even HN does not accept emoji in comments.

This isn't due to a technical barrier, it's an aesthetic decision. dang has at least once edited a submission title to include an emoji, and I'd assume comments could just as easily include them, it's just not in line with HN's style.
No idea what gives an arbitrary vegetable "flavor" relative to another in the same genus. Given how much of the industry is trial-and-error breeding to objectively target certain characteristics, it's unclear that practicing experts do either.

Come now, how many people compile python to use it?

How many people will be surprised / upset that they have to do that once `--disable-gil` is mainlined into the default builds on python.org?

How long before 'build it yourself and use --disable-gil' becomes 'we've enabled --disable-gil by default for Great Victory for Most Users'?

I think it's very very naive to think that the flag will remain an obscure 'use if you want to build python yourself' if the PEP is successful.

> The global interpreter lock will remain the default for CPython builds and python.org downloads.

Is a joke. It means, for now. For the work in this PEP.

I mean, you've literally got the folk from numpy saying:

> Coordinating on APIs and design decisions to control parallelism is still a major amount of work, and one of the harder challenges across the PyData ecosystem. It would have looked a lot different (better, easier) without a GIL.

That isn't 'for a few people who are vaguely interested in obscure technical stuff'; this is the entire python data ecosystem, saying "this will be the default in the future because the GIL is a massive pain in the ass".

> If it doesn't work for you, use the GIL enabled.

Sure, it can be opt-out; but you're fooling yourself if you think this is going to be 'opt-in'.

It will be the default once it's completed, sooner or later, imo.

...and when the 'default' build of python breaks c-extensions, that is a breaking change, even if technically you can build your own copy of python with different compile flags.
Oh, right. I always miss these puns.

> in moral terms the issue is a bit more complicated, because the rest of NATO is a signatory to the CCM

This is not entirely true a large amount of NATO is a signatory to the CCM but there are a few members that aren't outside of the US, they are.

- Poland
- Finland
- Lativa
- Estonia
- Romania
- Turkey
- Greece

> So if we were to refactor the statement as "The US is supplying Kyiv with munitions that would be a war crime for its NATO partners to use" -- then it does have validity.

Outside of the 7 countries in NATO outside of the US that aren't a signatory to the CCM.

And outside the fact that war crimes are strongly defined and using a weapon that is banned by the CCM even if you have signed it doesn't make it a war crime.

This is entirely a moot anyway, Ukraine is already littered with UXO from both Russia and from it defending itself.

I cant imagine that the DCIPM that the US provided will make a real difference in the UXO compared to whats already been going on.

As you sad, it was an attempt. We need more attempts.
In practice, reviewing your own code in a different context really makes a difference, at least for me. Not sure why, but I always notice things I wouldn't before. The same effects holds true even for regular text - as much as I try, proofreading my writing in editor yields subpar results compared to reading a submitted message, I simply fail to notice even the most blatant mistakes. I wonder if this effect has a name.

One fallback I've considered in all seriousness is simply an email address to which I submit articles, and access through a full-featured email tool such as mutt.

The main challenge there is that it's difficult to reorganise information once it's captured, but search tools, the ability to reply to threads, and the automatic capture of basic metadata (sender, subject, date) are useful.

Mutt specifically has a highly robust threading algorithm. I'm not sure what happens if this becomes rentrant, that is, a given child node might have multiple parents from different threads. Mutt as given presumes that any given parent reference (indicated through headers) is either parent to, or a child of, other referenced emails. I'm picturing a web rather than a tree.

Email is also extensible with regard to headers, and with mutt it's trivial to write hooks and tools to work with those.

And once email is stored in a standard format (say, maildir), there are other tools such as mh which can operate on the corpus at the shell level.
We are currently in a slow-motion traffic accident of our own making that we are only just starting to notice the effects of. But the "accident" has already happened, the rest is now just the physics playing out.

> The ice caps still exist, half the world's countries aren't underwater

Is your understanding of climate collapse is limited to the one issue, the melting of the ice-caps, and concomitant sea-level rises?

That's a narrow view that doesn't remotely cover the complexity and scale of the problem. However, addressing that one, single issue:

> Arctic sea ice area (SIA) has been declining rapidly throughout the year during recent decades with a steeper decline since 2000

> Our observationally-constrained projections based on attribution results also suggest that we may experience an unprecedented ice-free Arctic climate in the next decade or two, irrespective of emission scenarios. This would affect human society and the ecosystem both within and outside the Arctic, through changing Arctic marine activities as well as further accelerating the Arctic warming and thereby altering Arctic carbon cycling.[1]

(emphasis mine)

[1] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-38511-8

But as I said, it's a bigger problem than the polar ice melting. It's about the ocean absorbing CO2 and acidifying, inhibiting the growth of the shells of molluscs that live there; it's about over-fishing; it's about coral bleaching; it's about the ocean temperature spiking; the jet-stream; ecosystem encroachment; 200 species a day going extinct -- we're on day 189 of this year, so that's ... 37,800 since January 1st; it's about the increase rate of catastrophic fires.

Even if it "feels" relatively normal today, it's just the water temperature rising so slowly the lobster doesn't realise it's being cooked ...

And you seem to be worried about paying taxes...?
There has been admitted theft of literally hundreds of billions from the pandemic relief measures, but there has been no followup, no pressure from the public, no punishments.

The measures have hollowed out the middle class, bolstered the land-owning class, and destituted the lower class.

Anyone who owned any assets - stocks, land, crypto - has seen their net worth increase 50-200%. Meanwhile the waging class has been priced out of ever owning houses or land - first through sheer asset appreciation, then through unaffordable interest rates.

The worst part of it all is that no one even cares to seek accountability. The working class has been led to believe that fighting about gender and race and identity are way more important than the economic war being systematically waged against them.

The energy is not coming from the light or the algae, despite the fact that they tried to test it by blocking the light and trying it without algae.

The energy is coming from oxidizing the aluminum, and the algae are oxidizing it. Specifically the algae is making oxygen, which is reacting with the aluminum.

I would like to see them do with experiment using gold next time (i.e. non reactive metal) and I bet there will be no electricity.

I can confidently say only 6 out of 16 years of math education (elementary through undergrad math degree) were "good". Contrarily for example, most science classes were good in my experience.

Math is down there with the worst average teachers. I learned more from YouTube than the textbook+teacher for some classes (Hello Professor Leonard anyone?). Without some YouTube professors I probably would have failed several classes.

My gripes: Most teachers suck, no one teaches you how to actually study math along the way, the word problems/applications need to stop being almost always about physics ffs, too many classes have inadequate or poor technology, the big picture concepts/threads are lost by most math teachers, and some textbooks are AWFUL, the eTextbook push has made some even worse (too many examples of why to list), and finally there needs to be sometime in those 16 years where foundations and philosophical issues are broached at least passingly.

The good math classes are amazing, and that's what kept me interested. But I just had to vent about the wasted potential. I'm not giving a nuanced opinion, I'm pointing out some glaring issues. Also if you get a teacher who says they regularly attend some national conference for math educators to structure their class, transfer out.
Can you offer any evidence or reasoning as to why I should believe this? It would seem to assert that somehow student success/failure currently sits entirely in the hands of teachers: they know what is needed and could do it if only they were marginally more motivated. I'm not a teacher myself but have been involved in the system my entire life and this doesn't ring true at all. Even if it were possible it would almost certainly result in teachers focusing all of their efforts on the best students and none of it on those who are struggling. Which seems to run counter to the goals of public education.
You can easily underpower your better laptop on demand for a specific task. And also you can do it in more controlled ways: what happens if the process gets less memory, fewer cores, lower cpu speed, worse network, etc. Getting an underpowered laptop to do both development and testing is not the only, or even best way to do this.
It will probably be something like:

Right but not everywhere did that. I was in Georgia and schools did close for 2 months, but other than that there was no type of lockdown or anything.

I much prefer an “operating system” model.

The away teams should be writing “userland” code within the home teams well defined guardrails. The home teams act as OS devs for their service mostly write “kernel” code for their service that empower the away teams.

Usually the “home team” are functional specialists. They are working on some piece of infrastructure or maintaining a service. The “away” team OTOH is building a feature and needs to touch a few dozen codebases

It should be obvious which code is kernel and maintained by the service team, and which by the away “app” team. The away teams should be maintaining, on-call, and responsible for their code running within the context of the home teams service. Which hosts many such “apps”

This isn't really a Rust problem. Even Java forces you to reckon with heap vs. stack allocation with its boxed types, and you'll get annoying warnings when you use Integer when int would do.

This is just programming culture; given two ways of doing something, with one being harder but more performant, we gravitate to the harder one at all costs.
