I find it really hard to understand how people will continually go against their own self interests to align with their beliefs, without question.

Things can be different, things do change and we're not always right.

Data has shown we could all be spending considerably less on Healthcare with single player [1] and not be at the mercy of our employment for it... But it's still shunned because it's socialism or some other reason.

The equation of time would be in there! But the largest that gets is about 16 minutes, corresponding to a 4-degree error in position, and there are much bigger sources of error. But thanks for the link to the Clock of the Long Now!
Looks a lot like Draw.io.

What is the difference? Besides AI.
I am the same. I am searching for a career or job that will reward people like us. There is value in having a breadth of experience, knowledge, and network, but it seems harder to pitch yourself this way.
There's also unalias.
I am confused about htmx because if it is about AJAX, they don't replace the window URL as user clicks about and around unless you explicitly tell HTMX to do so.

And if you step into that realm of keeping the window URL in sync with where exactly the user is in the app, then you're almost already into realm of SPAs but without having the full set of tools that go with SPA.

Any open source project done in HTMX that has gone beyond TODO/LLM front ends etc could be interesting to look at

OK.

> It seems like a perfectly reasonable time period to pick, because the analysis is about migrating to other systems, like Threads.

I would say that the demographics of people migrating to other systems in December 2022 — most prominently to Mastodon, since neither Bluesky nor Threads was available at the time — was significantly different from those migrating in July 2023.

> Also, Threads was famous for a steep initial adoption curve.

That's because Threads was pushed on Instagram users. Indeed, there wasn't even a separate way to sign up for Threads.
The answer is no.

What you propose is teaching to the lowest common denominator, which is precisely what happens in the public (grade) school system in America, and is also precisely why our high school students are falling behind their global contemporaries.

A bachelor's in computer engineering indicates a certain minimum bar of proficiency. Those who cannot meet the bar will not earn the degree. A typical semester has twelve weeks of instruction, three hours per week. Spending time on remedial algebra comes at the cost of not covering a relevant curriculum topic. If each course did this, engineers would graduate with major gaps in knowledge.

This is why catering to the lowest common denominator can only lower the bar, and would result in engineers that can't problem-solve their way out of a paper bag, let alone compete globally.
> A magnitude of difference, yes. Even a printing press will be limited by natural resources, which require humans to procure.
A computer server can do a lot more with a lot less. And is much easier to scale than a printing press.

AI runs on some of the most power hungry and expensive silicon on the planet. Comparing a GPU cluster and a printing press then staring the GPU cluster not limited by natural resources is just silly. Where does the materials come from to make the processors?

> When the AI can be argued to be stealing human's work, yes. A printing press didn't need to copy Shakespeare to be useful. And it'd benefit Shakespeare anyways because more people get to read about his works.

The same can be true for AI as well. I could see a picture and then ask AI whose style it is. Then I could go look up more work by that artist, increasing their visibility.

- they can make commissions faster? To begin with commissions aren't a sustainable business. Even if they 5x the labor and somehow kept the same prices they aren't living well. But in reality, they will get less business as people will AI their "good enough" art and probably won't pay as much for something not fully hand drawn

Is this a complaint that something got cheaper to make? This one affects more than just artists. For instance, code quality output from LLM is quite high. So, wages across the board will decrease yet capabilities will increase. This is a problem external to AI.

> Until someone conceptualizes a proper UBI scheme, pointlessly toiling is how most of the non-elite live. I have yet to hear of a real alternative for these misplaced artists to move towards.

Again, not just artists and the path forward is the same as it’s always been with technological advancements, increase your skill level to above the median created by the new technology.
No, I said "This is just one illustration of how in fact they don't have everything", not the only illustration.
My RAV4 prime with "42 miles of range" hits 0 in 22 miles of freeway driving with the temps around 10F outside right now.
that's even easier to do in react though. If I say, update the cart, and update my cart state in redux, then every component rendering the cart (say, header, checkout component, shipping progress bar) will update seamlessly.

To me htmx seems weird in its mixing of logic / API separation layer with the UI separation layer. I can see it making sense on single/small team projects and appreciate the lack of bundling and async communication and all the issues JS entails, but composability is not the argument that makes sense to me.
For sure. I did say ‘if it had happened to me’, though. And I do happen to have SSH enabled on both of my machines.
The stations are just not designed for checking out a lot of non-barcoded/awkward etc. items.
From what I heard, a lot of those chargers weren't broken. What happened in Chicago was that Tesla drivers plugged in, and the car didn't immediately start charging because it had to warm the battery first. So they did the universal signal for a broken charger and left the cord dangling rather than hooking it. It then froze.

IIRC on a Tesla the car screen displays that it's warming the battery, but the app on the phone doesn't. The phone screen just says that it's charging with 0 amps.
Unfortunately some professions work like meat grinders. If you're not tough enough to take the grinder's teeth you get chewed out and spat out the other end, and replaced by someone else, of which there is an inexhaustible supply. Suggesting to use softer teeth just gets you replaced before you're ground out.
I own a switch and I am excited to be able to continue playing games I bought even if my Switch die. These are pretty fragile machines.

if you are looking for something similar to ipfs but a bit more minimalistic and performance oriented, check out iroh https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh .

It is a set of open source libraries for peer to peer networking and content-addressed storage. It is written in rust, but we have bindings to many languages.

One part of iroh is a work in progress implementation of the willow spec. The lower layers include a networking library similar to libp2p and a library for content-addressed storage and replication based on blake3 verified streaming.

Most iroh developers have been active in the ipfs community for many years and have shared similar frustrations... See this talk from me in 2019 :-)

This is the news that came out last week, but as a person entirely outside of this industry - where do you all follow for updates on this sort of thing? I don't want to parse every single paper that mentions superconductors, but I'd be glad to follow news around this specific material. I'm glad to see less mass hysteria than with LK-99, I just personally am interested and would love to stay close to it for updates!
That's again, largely choice.

Sure, some folks have a hard time choosing where to live, I get it. If we're honest, most folks just live by default wherever. They don't want to change.

And you vastly overestimate the cost of living outside major cities. It's a tiny fraction of what you might imagine.

I think I agree, if we recast it as 'inertia', it captures most of the working population of the US.
Misogynists choose to be misogynists and can stop at any time they choose. Not paraplegics. Or do you disagree because you have personal first hand experience being a misogynist who is incapable of changing?
Let's also remember something else: Console DRM is actually, finally, becoming strong enough to be unbreakable.

The PS5 has never had a public exploit. The PS4 was broken, but only on certain firmwares.

The Xbox One has not been cracked in 12 years. And no, the lack of exclusives or the addition of Dev Mode is only a small part of the reason.

The Switch OS (Horizon) is a microkernel, and according to people who have observed it, extremely secure. It's more intrinsically secure than the Xbox and PlayStation OSs. NVIDIA screwed up - not Nintendo. SciresM (an Atmosphere developer) has publicly stated that he believes the Switch 2 will have no useful software exploits, ever. Even on the current Switch, we've not had any kernel or useful software exploits in the last five years.
They're required by law to follow their corporate charters, and those almost always require maximizing shareholder value. They don't typically restrict that to short-term value though, so long-term growth strategies aren't ruled out by this.
The Acorn Electron is a very different design, and the BBC Micro runs measurably faster (particularly in this case due to the high res graphics). The bbcmic.ro emulation will almost certainly be pretty much exactly the same speed as real BBC Micro.

The Firefox profiler suggests it's spending most of its time doing nothing, waiting for the next Window.requestAnimationFrame.
It depends on what you mean with 'a lot of places', but coding up healthcare data systems or firmware for devices where you'll have no interaction with patients or hospital, it's the company that's liable.

Them hiring only people with degrees is almost certainly orthogonal to legal requirements in such cases.

Any sort of professional interaction with patients, sure, whole different ballgame.
> htmldocs is different from other tools like Wkhtmltopdf and Weasyprint in that it uses Chromium to generate PDFs, meaning that it supports the most modern CSS features and there's minimal drift between the rendered HTML document and PDF.

WeasyPrint is implemented as a from-scratch and specific-purpose rendering engine, so yeah, it’s different. But wkhtmltopdf uses WebKit, meaning it’s much the same as htmldocs, just backed by a different browser engine.

It’s important to realise, though, that using an existing browser engine doesn’t mean everything’s hunky-dory: in fact, when it comes to some of the things you care about with producing PDFs, some things will be worse, and the WeasyPrint approach has significant advantages. Because browsers don’t care about your use case at all. From time to time they’ll improve things incidentally, but all browsers are missing things like a lot of CSS Paged Media stuff, stuff that’s often been specified for a decade or more, where things like WeasyPrint have had them for years and years.
> HTMX as Configuration

Bam, there you are, can't make programs with just configuration, that's a wet dream.

The article also mentions IoC configuration, which is a horrible way to program, another thing that is only good on paper.
Let me start by saying I like the goal and would like to see org mode accessible to everyone, but I do have some thoughts/reservations.

> For the little code I do write, I find having AI assistance (via CoPilot or Cody) to be tremendously helpful. So helpful, in fact, that I now tend to jump into VSCode for actual coding,

Aren't there both copilot and Cody plugins available in emacs?

edit, yes and the Cody one has first-party support:

Cody: https://github.com/sourcegraph/emacs-cody (first party)

copilot: https://github.com/copilot-emacs/copilot.el

> Use VSCode for everything. For me, this requires a full-featured org mode implementation. I currently feel stuck in Emacs just because of how great org mode is.

This seems much more difficult than creating plugins you need in emacs and with the downside that customization will be much worse in vscode, especially customization of behavior with things like hooks.

> Letting go of bug-for-bug compatibility with Emacs as a goal. Let's let the quirky behavior die off and move forward with a more cohesive program, even if it looks a little bit different.

If you don't have compatibility, then you aren't really implementing org-mode... you are starting fresh. Perhaps you should take inspiration from commonmark which is a spec for markdown?

Also, there is some existing work in making a spec for org-mode in orgdown:

https://karl-voit.at/2021/11/27/orgdown/

That's okay, but you'll likely annoy org-mode users and developers as documents ending in `.org` start not working the same.

Also there are languages besides Rust and Haskell that have an org parser implementation. For instance one written in Javascript already has a spec as you explain it and is used in production for organice[0]:

> Why is this project useful / Rationale

> Org mode in Emacs is implemented in org-element.el (API documentation). The spec for the Org syntax is written in prose. - https://github.com/200ok-ch/org-parser

> Portable. It should not be difficult to get this integrated into any editor.

This tells me you already have a language in mind such as Lua (can't think of any other easy to integrate languages)? I'd argue that's not very popular either though.

> Well, they definitely drag their feet on keeping Safari up to date, not unlike what Microsoft did with Internet Explorer 20 years ago.

It’s entirely different. After Microsoft killed the competition and gained >90% market share, they disbanded the Internet Explorer developer team for five entire years.

Apple releases a new major version of Safari every year like clockwork and pushes people hard to update.

> What I do remember very clearly is that the common consensus, as reflected in data from app developers, is that people just don't know (or don't want to use) the "pin to home screen" feature.

What data? The internal data I’ve seen across ~500 community apps is that when given a choice, two thirds of people use the iOS app, a quarter of people use the Android app, and about 10% use the PWA. And that’s across all users, including desktop.

“Don’t know” and “don’t want to use” are two entirely different things.

If people preferred PWAs and it was just down to Apple holding them back, there wouldn’t be any such thing as an Android app; people would just use PWAs on that platform instead. People don’t install PWAs because they don’t want to.
My favorite is when the system says "help is on the way" and then very obviously does nothing whatsoever to notify the attendant. I have to catch their eye myself every single time.

> Honestly, I don't know how Nintendo survives as an independent console maker in the years to come. They ceded the traditional home console, and now everyone is making portables. Valve's portable can play the entire retail Nintendo line for "free".

I mean the switch has outsold the PS5. Your entire conjecture is wrong that they ceded the home console market.

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/456387/ps5-vs-switch-sales-...

Switch games have also outsold PS5 and XBox games 4 out of the last 5 years.

Nintendo is also profitable in a way the other 2 console manufacturers can only dream of.

Maybe opening a can of worms here, but no... actually they/we didn't.

19th century scholars were happy to declare that the Sami were the original inhabitants of the north, but that had more with the fact that they preferred seeing themselves as the superior, colonizing culture, than with archeological and linguistic evidence. Being a native was not cool at all. It was awkward for these scholars to become gradually aware of Sami's relationship to Hungarian and languages from further east, and even more such things as the -anger names core Sami areas Porsanger, Varanger, Malangen etc.

Angr is a proto-Nordic word that means bay. -Angr names are common all over Norway. We know that the word went out of use before 800 though, because around that time Icleand got settled, and there are no -angr names in Iceland.

There are even proto-Norse words preserved in Sami place names such as Máhkarávju - Avju is a proto-Nordic/proto-Germanic word for island. Máhkarávju is quite clearly related to the modern Norwegian name for the island, Magerøya, but that means they must have borrowed the name more than thousand years ago.

It may seem that the many proto-Norse borrowings in Sami may come from that in at least some parts of the country some of the time, it wasn't Norse culture and language that supplanted the Sami, but vice versa! Very awkward for scholars who would rather stake their nationalistic claims on manifest destiny than being first.

Now, Sami activists say any of this doesn't matter, because the Sami were a minority people with their own established culture and languages who were around when the formal borders of Norway were drawn up (as late as 1750 in Finnmark). And that's the ILO 169 definition.

This is completely true. It's also true that Sami activists were actively involved in writing that definition so that it would include them. I totally respect why they did that piece of lobbying work - the Sami certainly have legitimate interest to defend, and for that purpose being classed with native Americans is much more useful than to be seen as just another quarrelsome European linguistic minority like Welsh, Basque or Catalan people - or, say, people who use Nynorsk! (just see the hate they get in this very thread).

They had one of those in a larger supermarket I visited last summer. (EDIT: In Norway) They also had those mobile bar code scanners you bring with you and dock in your trolley, and app payment (including receipt storage), so the entire process was pretty smooth.

I live in a city so I don't use those large supermarkets, so I don't know if this is something new or not.

I did not, but I have my doubts as to whether he was made to do it or if he truly meant it.

OP here. Absolutely! I didn't want to go too in-depth into plugins because I wanted to emphasise Obsidian's basic features but DataView is also a plugin that I love!
Logseq is more opinionated than Obsidian:
- It's an outliner, meaning you don't have paragraph but collapsible block.
- It's focused on journaling. The default view when you open the app is a journal that's internally a list of all `<date>.md` (today's file is automatically created).
- Backlink are built-in instead of being a plugin (albeit an official one). It's automatically displayed at the bottom of the page, meaning I can have a [[SecretProject]] page and have a list of all relevant blocks/page in one go (in LogSeq, all tags are regular pages, so I put a #SecretProject page in the top of my page)
- Obsidian ecosystem is massively bigger
- LogSeq is FOSS (AGPL), Obsidian is not. I cannot (or rather, should not) use Obsidian at work (but nothing mechanically prevents you), so I'm using LogSeq.
- I'm not clear about LogSeq funding
