I've personally found that I was "holding it wrong" when it comes to TODO apps. I think everyone likely has a slightly different approach to personal productivity that works best for them, but here are some insights that helped me:

1. Finding the right time scale: some people plan out their entire day, some their week, etc. For me, planning at a monthly timescale is more appropriate.
2. Don't use TODOs for chores and habit tracking. At first, I tried using todo apps to also track stuff like chores or hobbies I wanted to pursue daily. For me, this had the negative effects of making my chores take up even more brain space (now I not only have to do the chore but I actually have to mark it as done etc) and turning hobbies into a deadening "do it because you must" sort of obligation instead of a fun pursuit. It turns out I was getting these things done anyway so they weren't a good fit for a todo app which in this case just increased overhead for no reason.
3. It's important to recognize what counts as a concrete task and what sort of projects are more general, free form creative endeavors that it may not be worth it to squeeze into an itemized todo list. For me, many of the actual todos I have are temporal events, so what I really needed was a calendar. For my creative projects, I do a lot better when I actually don't constrain myself with a todo list.

So, in the end, I've settled on using a calendar to track important tasks I need to do each month (usually "life admin" type stuff) and that's it. I found that everything else was way too fine grained to be useful.

And? Maybe it is every 2nd or 10th flight, that does not make it much more practical. Cost for operating F35 is astronomical. Old Soviet airplanes we had could take of from grassy fields!
I liked the movie and enjoyed the visual pretext of the communication, although it always felt not very credible to me from a logical standpoint.

I stay at a lot of hotels. I never use a third party portal. It’s hard to make last minute changes if not impossible and dealing with the hotel directly about any issues is much easier.

Last year, I was in San Francisco for a hybrid business/personal trip where I extended my stay on both ends, brought my wife and of course I paid the difference.

I booked the week at the Hilton San Francisco Financial District. We got there and it was a dump. It was late, we stayed one night, checked out the next night and moved to the Parc 55. That would be nearly impossible if I booked through a third party.

On top of that, you don’t get hotel status benefits or points booking through a third party. We were upgraded free to the “fitness room” with a gym inside the room as a Diamond member of Hilton and the points went toward free hotel stays.
Well if you ignore damage caused to the target you hit no wonder.

Most people still think Hotels.com, Vrbo, Travelocity, Hotwire.com, Orbitz, Ebookers, CheapTickets, CarRentals.com, Wotif, and Trivago are separate companies, yet they are just Expedia brands and sell Expedia inventory. For the most part, all of them exist only as marketing brands and use the Expedia backend. I used to work for one of those brands and when we were all laid off during the transition, we were not allowed to tell our customers the brand was becoming Expedia.
I just searched for N100 on Amazon and I could find ones for 160$ with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd. What an incredible value. Compared to this I’ve spent well over 80$ on my raspberry pi 4gb (cases ssd cooling charger etc). Sure a pi4 is low power. But I find it less appealing for those wanting simple cheap home servers now that things like these consume less power and are much faster with much better I/O and cooling. Not to mention upgradable memory.
This is the top-voted comment but as many of the other replies have pointed out, it's totally wrong outrage-bait. J&J, the parent company, is still ultimately liable for the full amount. The bankruptcy process just allows the courts to manage all of the claims together under the authority of one judge, instead of having different courts in every state issue incompatible damages awards in a race to judgment.
hmm.. but you also spent a lot of time to learn programming. Why not invest some time in the use of professional tools?
If you master an editor like vim, you'll never need to spend time to learn additional IDEs. In the past i needed to learn VSCode, Eclipse, IntelliJ, XCode, Visual Studio and some other niche IDEs. All have very different menu structures and keybinds. Just to unify that was worth the time learning vim.
> But that isn't the case here. When the debt causes you to be bailed out by the government, is is an issue, wouldn't you agree?

EDF's current situation is an issue. My point, however, is that this is not related to electricity pricing, nuclear or not.

> Since the organisation is nationalised, that money will come from the taxpayers.

Yes, so what? France's general budget received tens of billions in dividends from EDF in recent years, would you say EDF saved as much for the taxpayer?

> Which decommissioned reactor are you thinking of?

maine Yankee, for instance.

> Apart from that, the "end result" for decommissioning projects are always "and then the federal government takes over from here".

That's unrelated to dismantling. This issue is about waste storage in the US.

> “in 2008 the EU’s economy was somewhat larger than America’s: $16.2 trillion versus $14.7 trillion. By 2022, the US economy had grown to $25tn, whereas the EU and the UK together had only reached $19.8 trillion.”

2008 was the peak of conventional oil, which affects Europe more than the US (who managed to postpone the peak with fracking, I guess?).

One can say that this was a great choice by the US, maybe. I would say that this is short-sighted. Anyway, there will be a peak for fossil fuels, so we need to go away from them. At the same time, fossil fuels are the cause for climate change, which is getting us in a very, very, very bad situation. The only way would be for every country to lower their fossil consumption. But of course, that would not make for a great "we beat the neighbour" article.

At the end of the day, we are all living on the same planet. That the US beats the EU at the race for destroying it faster is, in my opinion, not a great achievement.

Todo apps are good for repetitive tasks. Just show one task at a time to avoid decision fatigue.

For one-off tasks, just quickly write a note, then when you have time, review notes and rank them in terms of urgency. The higher ranked notes should be seen first and more frequently.

The cynicism never seems to subside here. Moodle was and is a great OPEN-SOURCE (FREE) learning management system that works on just about any web server. It is highly customizable and very easy to install and manage.

I've managed a Moodle install for my university for many years without any hiccups. I've trained lots of teachers on how to use it BUT usually they would just figure it out by themselves because it's quite intuitive.

A little optimism and positivity doesn't hurt now and again.
Okay. There is zero chance that the corporate lawyers are doing this to ensure that the next people killed by J&J can collect.

“We can’t pay out for these deaths because then we will be out of money to pay out for the other deaths.”

This is only a compelling argument if J&J agrees to dissolve their entire company and work with the courts to distribute 100% of their wealth to aggrieved parties. Let’s see how much they cooperate with that.
Insofar as modelling is a 'predictive' activity in the engineering sense of useful estimates of observables -- it tends to end in pseudoscience.

Originally the idea of spheres was a good one (and not obtainable via any compression of measurements) -- it was obtained through reasoning by analogy. but when epicycles were added over-and-over, you effectively were using a universal functional approximator to match observable data.

Since the solar system doesn't change much, the epicycle approach works (by coincidence) -- but it's pseudoscience.

A model of gravity which can account for any possible solar system is an explanation, even if it's so hard to use we cannot actually do predictions with it (the status of much science).
This is true in the US and Canada as well.

Show HN: PrepForDeal – AI-powered funding preparation for startups
Helps startup founders to prepare for investor interviews, term sheet negotiations and due diligence.
I get the sentiment, but if I stop and think about it, I don't understand the math. I'm not intending to criticize since I struggle with this myself.

Try on this hypothetical. Imagine that ten people in a giant company called ACME made some decisions that led to 50,000 people getting hurt. ACME also employs 100,000 hard working people, representing perhaps 0.3-0.4 million family members dependent upon that income. Imagine further that ACME's other products have dramatically improved the lives of hundreds of millions of other people.

Given that scenario, does the ethical math really work for ACME to be completely destroyed? It is easy to see how the 10 decision makers should be punished. It is also easy to see how the people who were hurt should be compensated in some way. Destroying ACME entirely will harm lots of other people so it is not clear how to justify that. It is a very frustrating domain because we think of these companies as monoliths, but they are really just a large collection of mostly very decent people.
Another thing that separates Japanese from other languages is the fact that it's a pitch-accent language. I'm currently learning the language and it's the part I'm struggling with the most. I struggled less while learning a tonal language like Mandarin.

Both pitches and tones in those languages are picked up by native speakers naturally, while language learners have to actively adapt from all the habits they've formed in their native languages.
Hi,
getting funded is quite the challenge for startups founders. There are a many, many guides out there on how to get funding and prepare. I felt this can be made more intuitively by using Open AI and Pinecone (and several WP plugins), so I came up with PrepForDeal.com.

It offers “AI Tools”, i.e. AI chatbots and vectorized content (term sheets, investor criteria etc.) for the following categories of founders’ challenges:
- Investor interviews / due diligence
- Defensibility analysis
- Term sheets

The first two allow users to get the view of potential investors (VC and angels) on their inputs (e.g. founders’ characteristics, problem, market size, moats, financials and more). It’s also a way to self-analyze one’s startup.
The Term Sheets section is meant to enhance term sheet understanding and consequences of the major provisions in an interactive way.

Would love to get some feedback on it. Thank you.
I never said what you're claiming. You're just deluding yourself at this point with FUD, and so I'll let you be to save my sanity, with this question you still haven't answered for the third time in a row:

Why aren't you (or any other western EU country) leaving the EU if you feel like it's so bad for you and those lazy poor Eastern Europeans are dragging you down? Because it seems like you're the only one with this opinion so you must know some secret of prosperity the others haven't found out, including the UK.

Hey there!

As a backend dev who's been nosing around frontend land for my side projects, I'm curious to know how you approach your CSS

I don't think your reasoning about this—especially the following part—is especially sound:

> The only reason it would make sense compared to self-hosting or decentralized hosting of applications, is if you are primarily concerned with allowing proprietary apps to do things to your data without your ability to inspect or monitor them.

(One word comes to mind: wat.)

I disagree with your conclusion ("Solid is an inherently bad idea"). Solid—in the abstract, at least—is an example of a great idea, but terrible execution—and the company (Inrupt) has not been a good steward for the project.

I’m not sure what this tells us. Base clock is 1Ghz, turbo 3.7Ghz, but somewhere (hopefully between the two, but technically it could be less than 1Ghz) there’s a clock speed that the chip can run that produces less heat than the passive cooling solution can dissipate.

A bit of a tangent but I've been paying for Spotify for years and I love it (although I do miss the old UI) but I've got to admit I'm not happy when I read about the amount the artists get paid. $120 per year is a great bargain for me and I understand that Spotify is going to lose subscribers if they start putting the price up but really it's not fair to musicians who's entire back catalog is just sitting there available to me whenever I feel like playing it.
All-in-one JMAP, IMAP and SMTP server written in Rust
Same with laptops. I feel like every review should always lead with a picture showing both the power supply and the device.

I recently got a couple of Asus Deskmini X300s. Great little machines. But the power supply is 1/3 of the size of the machine and has really long cables on both sides.
Hi HN!

I'm excited to announce the release of Stalwart Mail Server, a single binary solution that combines the Stalwart JMAP, Stalwart IMAP, and Stalwart SMTP servers into one easy-to-install package.

In response to your feedback, some key enhancements were made. Stalwart Mail Server now supports LDAP and SQL authentication, providing seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.
For single node setups, RocksDB has been replaced with SQLite with the option of using LiteStream for replication. For larger, distributed setups, support for FoundationDB was added, letting you scale to millions of users without sacrificing performance. Additionally, it is now also possible to store your emails in an S3-compatible storage solution such as MinIO, Amazon S3, or Google Cloud Storage.

Other notable updates include support for disk quota, subaddressing (or plus addressing) and catch-all addresses.

Check it out here: https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server

I look forward to your feedback and questions!
Yes. Catering for extreme edge cases is a waste of time, just pay your ticket dumbass, how the fuck you even "lose" a helmet and why the fuck you didn't bring a phone charger?

Given the chance of the story being fabricated close to 100% catering for it is unreasonable.
I had very good experience with Protecli (https://protectli.com), for both products and customer support.

Seems to me both are for similar use cases. I'm using mine as firewall appliances for example.
I would strongly prefer this as well.

The downside for the company is that they'll have to field complaints from people who use underpowered power supplies. Although I suppose that could mostly be prevented by shipping an approved power supply with the computer.
Oh, my bad. Sorry. From the focus on education and the name I assumed it was an lms

Apparently SSRIs and SNRIs. Drugs that act on similar brain circuits.

If you control the deploying process and the web server (at least with Nginx), you can disable gzip for the small files (like the article has), and avoid on-the-fly compressing for the larger files.

location /js/small {
gzip off;
}
location /js/ {
gzip on;
# Use the .gz file if it exists
gzip_static on;
}
These brands are impossible to find though, at least in my part of the world.

It's always amusing when someone discovers DNS TXT records. ClamAV has been using them to announce the latest versions for more years than I care to remember.

$ dig +short -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net
"0.103.8:62:26972:1689593340:1:90:49192:334"

For anyone interested, Freshclam interprets this as:

Latest ClamAV version: 0.103.8
Latest Main DB version: 62
Latest Daily DB version: 26972
UNIX Timestamp 1689593340

...and then some other version numbers and things I don't remember, one is probably a bytecode DB version 334, f-level 90 maybe.

Anyway, nothing new, works as designed. You can do all kinds of neat tricks with it. DNS has a lot going on that most people don't (ab)use.
Ask HN: Any software to manage team rotations?
I'm looking for a software that will let me handle different kinds of rotations in a team, like:

I would like it to be able to trigger actions based on those schedules as well.

Any idea of a tool that could do something like this ?
Strange, the only thing I need to do to get everything I need these days for a new language is install the right LSP provider and point vim to it. It used to be much harder, now it's closer to trivial.
As I understand it, using this scheme, the company is avoiding punishment for their wrongdoings when it could be larger than they're willing to pay. They bankrupt some minor part of their budget instead of bankrupting the entire company.

When a serial killer gets the electric chair, most people consider that a fair punishment. No? So tell me, if a judge wanted to apply capital punishment to a company, which is not even a living thing, it's just money and stamped papers. How could it do that, when the company can use this scheme to escape?
