Really nice execution of a simple but compelling idea. And the presentation on the site is solid too - I get what this is immediately, and I could see how it would be useful to me. A replacement for that Sublime text window I keep around where I paste stuff to keep for later, or to examine some JSON I just grabbed from somewhere!

I do find myself wanting more features, but of course the beauty of this is how simple it is, so you definitely need to strongly resist the urge to add and add as people suggest ways to 'improve' it. Apply the old 'every feature starts with -100 points' mindset (attributable to Anders Hjelsberg, I think?).

But that said, I'm going to give you some feature requests anyway :D

The thing I feel like I most immediately want from a tool like this is something close to the common SQL notebook behavior where you can select a few lines of text and hit F5 to run just the selection. Obviously only makes sense in language blocks which have a script engine associated. But the ability to write a chunk of JS or Python or shell and instantly execute it might be powerful. Where does it run, what happens to the output, etc? All good questions. No idea.

I'd love to see markdown blocks get formatted in place (still monospaced, just some bold and italic and stuff) - probably whenever the cursor is not focused in the block... though the potential shift in line wrap that would cause might be annoying. Maybe just have an edit/display toggle on markdown blocks to flip them into formatted mode. Additionally, making markdown-formatted tables elastically align in place while editing them would be a huge quality of life boost....

... Which (since formatting markdown tables correctly amounts to the same thing) makes me think this could be an opportunity to implement a classic 'elastic tabstops' plain text mode... the fact that the tab key only increases line indent is... an interesting choice that reduces the need to indulge any tabs vs spaces discussions - though obviously it's possible to paste in text that contains tabs even if you can't type them. Coming up with something better to do with inline tabs than just 'snap to next multiple of tab width' is tricky, but I would suggest maybe enabling 'elastic tab' rules: https://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/ - because this is a place that's meant to handle copy/pasted text and stuff natively typed in, NOT a place that is expected to open and correctly format files.
I just upgraded my whole mailserver recently and the Elastic theme is growing on me. I had the usual gripes about everything moving around for no reason but the theme seems a lot nicer for modern displays and (my) aging eyeballs.
Oh, I haven't seen orgmode before, so I don't know what its features are. I'm not planning to add evaluation of code blocks (apart from Math blocks that is) due to the complexity it would add.
It's almost paradoxical, but it seems like as the quality of life increases, the reproduction rate decreases.

In that case, I would say this even more suggests bending like a willow.

But I would suggest putting your finger in the air every year or two. The creep of bureaucratic garbage in the university system has been monotonic in the past several decades, sadly.

I'm not advising anything I don't do myself; frankly I advise everyone to have their finger in the air every year or two. Places change. I've been where I am for quite a while, actually, I'm not a job hopper at all, but only because my job keeps proving itself to me, not mere inertia.

In the meantime, enjoy it as much as you can! I may sound really cynical here, but I actually don't mean it that way. This is a long-term strategy designed to maximize my chances of enjoying my job on a succession of short-term bases. Once you have that enjoyable job by all means enjoy it, and hope it will continue... just don't count on it continuing.

compensation for what?

paint me ignorant but you read dozens of articles linked on HN daily. I do too, how many times have you compensated them?

people who blog for fun, or have a hobby or whatever. tomorrow they start streaming or recording and whatever so why should i compensate them?

why are we normalizing the idea that someone can suddenly start a youtube channel and now its the "responsibility" of subscribers to feed them?

its not a zero sum game. i understand that but the current model works or not, i dont know because i do not contribute.

Does your lifetime extend to before 1970? We had reusable launch vehicles at that time. We had propulsive rocket landings in the 80's. Electric cars have existed for longer than gas-powered cars.

Sadly, if true, it's a low bar. Too many people have horribly unsafe driving habits and contribute to the bulk of carnage on the road. Skill levels vary a lot, even for "professional" drivers. (I'm looking at you, semi driver, who tailgated me at 60 mph and had the gall to honk because I left a reasonable distance between my vehicle and the semi in front of me. This in traffic too heavy to do anything but go with the flow.)

Also, I'd find the statistics more believable if they were published by an unbiased third party.

Matches the last half well but still a completely different first half meaning. You can't just take any titles on a site, mash them together based on your takeaway, and call that the original title.
The skills I try to instill in my kids are things like: empathy, self-regulation, effective communication, personal boundaries, autonomous decision making, high-level planning, and the basics of adulting. The biggest one I think is adapting to change, because their world will be even more mercurial than the one we are navigating now.

I’m an expert software developer but have not spent time teaching these skills to my 10 year old son. He can get that from literally a hundred other places, and while I am a decent teacher, I’d rather spend our time together focusing on the things I place value on that I don’t think he is likely to get through other sources. I sometimes feel like a full-time therapist for my 12 year old daughter, what good is another A on her middle school report card when she is doing herself in trying to mold herself to meet others’ expectations? She needs an advocate more than a trade skill.
The Topping MX3 is also pretty good in my opinion and about half the price. That’s probably next down on the pareto frontier.
Love this idea. Almost like a vscode "go to definition" functionality. Pair that with a "go back to previous location" feature and you can get a surprisingly nice and flexible workflow.
> As soon as traffic becomes reasonable because of extensive public transportation...

City councils can start doing the inverse of what they’ve been doing. Traffic increases, so roads are widened, more parking is created, leading to more cars, and traffic increases.

As traffic decreases, roads can be changed to reduce the focus on cars, and increase the focus on other forms of transport / pedestrians / additional commerce, which then serves to discourage further traffic because … there’s nowhere to create more space for cars anymore.

See various European major cities (e.g. London, or less so, Madrid) for examples of this happening in real time.

You can’t zip in and park next to work if there’s only a single lane of one way traffic permitted on each road, and there’s only 100 parking spaces within a 5 min walk of your office (and about 10,000 people working in that area)

Oh, it is Scott's problem. I got the references and I still found them to be too much.
Have you ever lived in a city or country with a well-functioning public transportation network? It doesn't sound like it. In such a context, the only reasons 99% of people prefer cars / vans is: 1) cost, 2) if you need to transport big stuff, 3) if you need the flexibility

2) and 3) are only true for a small subset of people, e.g. for handymen or people who transport stuff regularly

1) cost is the big one, and currently a big reason that trains are sometimes more expensive than cars, at least in Germany, is subsidies and external costs. Also, that people underestimate what owning and operating a car costs, and just compare the train ticket price to the gas price for a specific trip.
Especially considering how power-hungry it is to mill/finish the phone chassis, plus the cost of cutting-edge lithography and low-yield wastage.
Sorry, brain fart. I meant Tibet.

> feels like you're assuming that the American solution is necessary or the only way

No. I think a regional solution would be better. But Riyadh and Abu Dhabi are constrained by domestic politics, and everyone else with militaries in the region is an ally who would expect America to take lead or a competing oil exporter.
Passkeys work, password managers with autofill should also work. You can override password managers, but "why can't I find my credentials" makes you look at the URL again at least once.

For Bitwarden, this will be the hostname, and as such, will tell you that you don't have any passwords for moc.margatsni.nl

There are design issues at play here, but mitigations for most types of phishing are already available. Websites need to implement Passkey support, but any username+password website should work perfectly fine with password managers.

I don't understand -- you can purchase your own router instead of renting one from your ISP, which usually works out cheaper in the end too, and port forward.

NAT was a necessity when it was being introduced, so I don't understand the complaints. Sure it's annoying, but what was the alternative?

I don't think anyone was dissuaded from IT because of NAT. Heck, if anything, learning how to configure it might have been some people's first step into learning about networking and then getting into it as a career!

And let's not forget that NAT served as a default firewall that did more than any anti-virus to protect PC's from malware.

Where climate change is concerned, there's not a cycle, just a massive decline. The problems and solutions have been known since the 1970s.

Here's an example: a 1977 report detailing how the UK could satisfy its energy needs with no (or considerably less) oil[0]. That's the kind of solution (wind, solar, insulation, heat pumps) which would've solved the crisis we're facing now _years_ ago and robbed the petrostates of their power. Again, this is not a cycle: it is a trajectory. We know the solutions, as well as the problems.

Yeah. He proposed an alternative idea that would cost ten times less and would be much faster. And said from the start he would not build it himself. I don't see where it contradicts what I wrote.

Spent a lot of hours trying to debug a bug and it was "k8s DNS would eventually expose pods though DNS, but it could take 30 seconds" (or time till pod becomes ready + 30 seconds, because coredns caches negative DNS responses).

I am feeling that caching all DNS responses for 30 seconds is not always the solution for all kind of usage patterns... Ah, generic solutions are for generic problems (which are usually not your problems).

Love this. This is exactly what I need. I have been using a WhatsApp group with just me, for this purpose, until now.

Feature requests:
- arch package

- would really like the results of the math to be in buffer.txt and in Ctrl+a and copy.

- changing font and color theme(I like the Nord one right now though!) Please keep it minimally colored as it is now so that changing color is just a simple matter of configuring a handful of colors as opposed to custom css. That would make it too complicated.

- support for images and media in markdown blocks would be nice to whatever extent possible. I would love it if you could copy the way vscode markdown works. Ctrl+v an image in the editor and it inserts the markdown for it and saves the image to a file. Markdown preview would be nice but I understand if you think that's out of scope.

- timestamp for blocks. especially would be nice if you could store createdAt updatedAt in the line with the infinity symbols in buffer.txt to make it easily extractable using grep and cut.

- saw that you mentioned downthread that you're working on reloading the file so that we can back it up with git or whatever. Would love that!

- is mobile possible? Through Cordova or something

Thanks for making this!
Sometimes if they hate your client and ip they put you into a captcha tar pit that you only think you could get out of. Only a bot would keep trying but a human will die in there too even if they have the tenacity of a bot.
Tesla is a public company and under the same umbrella as Twitter. Screams market manipulation imo but I’m not a lawyer.
You said "tesla was already built" before Musk came along.

He joined in 2004. First car in 2008. Path to profitability starting in 2015.

I'm inserting the opinion that maybe some of that stuff since 2004 was highly relevant to "building" Tesla.

I agree the rules can be a bit confusing but, in general, if you feel something needs the title edited it's probably better to just use a different source instead of put your wording onto it. Alternatively, specifically for titles which you don't think need to be edited because they are clickbaity, you can always make a text comment with what you feel the main point is/your reasoning behind posting the document. That way your takeaway on the article is on equal footing with anyone else's.

This looks fantastic. I will definitely give it a spin. I've been tracking what I call "computational scratchpad" apps for a while now but haven't found one that fits my environment/workflow yet. Maybe Heynote will. Here are some others that I've looked at:

* https://soulver.app Granddad of them all, Mac-only, proprietary, expensive

* https://numi.app Mac-only, proprietary, semi-expensive. Has a Github and claims to be MIT-licensed but I don't see how you could build a working application with what's in the repo.

* https://calca.io Windows- and Mac-only, proprietary, not expensive, nice docs.

* https://notepadcalculator.com Web-based, not open source, hosted but uses local storage. You can optionally create an account to sign in and have your notes saved in plaintext on his server.

* https://github.com/bbodi/notecalc3 Web-based, open source, self-hostable. But it seems to save your document in the URL string itself, which means the URL gets updated with almost every keystroke. Worth it for quick calculations and very small notes, I guess.

* https://numpad.io Web-based, hosted, not open source. Also stores entire doc in URL, but doesn't update the URL bar the whole time you're typing.

* https://numbr.dev/ Web-based, hosted. Has a Github but is not open source and the repo does not have all the bits needed to self-host it. Stores entire doc in URL.

* https://github.com/metakirby5/codi.vim Vim/NeoVim plugin that is less like a "smart notepad" and more like Jupyter but with results printed on the right side of the screen instead of in a cell below. Supports lots of programming languages.
> I had the advantage of being 18 when the internet was still pretty open

There is no doubt that is an extreme advantage. When I started college in the late 90s an upperclassman was in my dorm for a party and saw a trophy i had from a USFirst robotics competition in HS, he invited me to join an organization he was in that built autonomous robots (we called them "vehicles") for a competition. In that lab, we had network drops and static IPs on the schools inet connection. The lab's admin knew the DNS guys and so we could run whatever we wanted on a fast internet connection with access to our own hostnames. At this time Linux, Apache, PHP and MySQL were just starting to take off. That lab and inet opportunity convinced me to change my major to CS and kickstarted my whole career.

edit: that "lab" was really just an unused room in a random building with some desks and hand tools like screwdrivers and stuff to work on our robots. ..but it had rj45 plugs :)
Of course not; most 16-year-olds are enjoying their teenage years instead. (as they should) And build social skills.
It doesn’t need to be perfect to be useful.
I first attempted this 7 years ago, after I graduated college. I got through the first 2 chapters. It was extremely rewarding. But regrettably, I abandoned it for other side projects.

I picked it up again 3 months ago, and it’s been a blast. I’m on chapter 8, having completed the logic gates, ALU, CPU, assembler, and half of the virtual machine.

Every chapter is overwhelming — in a good way. I keep thinking to myself, “how the hell is this going to work?” And when it does, it’s so satisfying.

As a side project, purely for educational purposes, it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve done. I’ve learned so much. It’s a damn good project. And I’m damn proud of myself for sticking with it.

Highly recommended.
Cut your list of goals down to 1-2, tops. Focus entirely on those until you achieve them. It's very easy to waste a lot of time doing 10 different things at once, but making real progress on none of them.
