For Android, you can use trilium as a PWA currently, I do that and it's not bad at all, but offline isn't supported yet. I would say that the UX through the PWA isn't worse than that of Obsidian.
If offline on your phone is a requirement, you should be able to run trilium server there (haven't tried): https://github.com/Nriver/awesome-trilium#-android

There is managed hosting too, at a very fair price I'd say (compared to the alternatives): https://trilium.cc/
ah there's a solution to this: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/our-open-plan-office-fai...
Data warehouse, data lake, data lakehouse. The data world has some terrible terminology.
I'm confused too.

Their posts brought up two points:

1. Y might be for yellow than axe.

-- I agree but that remains a theory.

2. The designer likely used a clipart of axe by searching "axe" in Chinese ("斧头"). The exact image was found.

-- ..OK? Not sure how this means anything, let alone "solved".

To be fair, other comments in that 2017 threads confused me too, e.g.

> 1. The letter 'A' and an upside down Y-shaped character share the same key on a Chinese/English key board

I have no idea what's that "upside down Y-shaped character" is about, as a native-Chinese speaker.
It's an EU project in the sense that it has received a grant from the EU research program, not in the sense that what they're doing is EU policy.
I am writing a complicated website - the typical single page application and, so far, htmx is working wonders (and removing a lot of frontend work which I find duplicating data models already done on the server)

One problem I did face is trying to put together a large json to a POST request. I did experiment if I could do this all in the 'htmx way' of using input=hidden but was not working. With this, it was best to store this as a JS variable, or call a JS function to return json, which was all specified in htmx (in html)

Point is there are some exceptions that I have to do some javascript but the amount is much less when using other popular frameworks.

Overall, I am doing most work using htmx and odd exceptions with simple javascript functions to returns text or json.. or javascript to compliment my css.
Model railways versus video games:

Decades(!) ago I read an essay wondering: What's the deal with model railroading ? What's the attraction ? Why are people compelled to build these little worlds and be their masters ?

But then, heh, along came Sid Meyer's Civilization and scads of other world-building video games.

So who's feeling compulsion nowadays ? Sitting on your duff in front of a video game for hours on end could seem somewhat inferior to actually using your hands to make and do things.

I think a key to keeping the hobby alive might be to play up the modelling aspects. How often does one get to build a mountain ? Or a multimodal transportation system ?
No it's not. GNU Taler doesn't use a blockchain, as a blockchain cannot implement digital cash: in a blockchain, transactions are necessarily centralized — on a distributed ledger, but still account-based —, so they are effectively equivalent to wire transfer, i.e., just accounting entries: they cannot take place between two offline parties like you can do with actual cash. Also, blockchain-based digital "money" (quotes because there is no such thing, "cryptocurrencies" are purely speculative securities and that's it) need to be at the same time the currency, the long-term storage, and the transaction system.

On the contrary, GNU Taler is only a transaction system, and uses advanced cryptography and infrastructure that allow it to be bearer-based, i.e., actually decentralized transactions between two offline parties can take place. It can actually do digital cash, with buyers privacy, and all.

That said, I'm not saying we need such a technology. Only that it's clearly not cryptobro bullshit.
You really don't want me doing that sort of thing. There are far more capable people keeping our network running, and far more people writing the software.
Sure, though you can have kids and be unmarried, or be married to one person and have kids with another, for that matter.
You can save a ton of battery using things like this.

I created a similar app using mac's afplay 11 (yikes) years ago https://github.com/andion/gramola

I don't use it anymore but at the time it made my battery last longer, you can see a battery consumption comparison on the repo.
Whatever you say might be true, but it doesn't change the fact that say on Tinder, 95% of women go after 5% of men. It might not be physical looks as such, but whatever the metric is, women want the top, at least for casual relationship.

(There's gender imbalance on tinder but it's not enough to explain 20:1 difference).
I can't say that comment about regular expressions is particularly good -- it isn't even true.

(Some variants of regular expressions can implement arbitrary context-free grammars).
People should know that

1. it's not based on any kind of blockchain,

2. it's not a currency, it's a payment system which you could use to transfer other currencies (euro, dollar, ...) and

3. unlike most blockchain-based currencies it offers anonymity (only for buyers, not for sellers, though)
Offtopic, but I built a 486 PC, to remind me my first computer. 16MB FPM SIMMs, AMD Am5x86 133MHz CPU, Matrox Millenium + 3dfx Voodoo II. Win95. And a fkn external modem. But there is no dial-up ISP left in AU :)
I agree but I wish it were finally open sourced. At this point the community and paying users must be plenty anyway.
The main disadvantage of sqlite compared to these other formats is that sqlite is designed for single machine processing. This can be problematic for huge datasets or complex queries.

These other formats easily support using clusters to process your data.
My question is: How does the average Jane and Joe benefits compared to Debit and Credit Cards? Privacy, they do not care. Being anonymous, they do not care.

So a dead initiative?
Which always made me think it was odd South America didn't get more attention. I worked for Auth0 for a long time and they were started by a guy in Argentina and one in the US - the lack of time difference came up as a major benefit despite the geographical separation.
ReScript 11.0
The linked site starts sentences with "djgpp 1.05" and "djgpp 1.06", so maybe the software name has a different irregular capitalization than version names, which stay lowercase no matter what.
Hey Lars. Thanks for sharing your story, so many of us are in a similar situations but dealing with it in isolation. After more than a decade of being a carer I can offer you the following:

Take care of yourself and your partner. Get some outside help if you can so you can take some breaks.

Find things that bring you joy, treat yourself.

Try and help your daughters process things and come away better people for the experience.

Treat your son with love and dignity.

Find some things in your life to be grateful for and dwell on them, it is impossible to feel sorrow and gratitude at the same time.

Sending the hugs back to you and yours.
Visual C++ has been available for free, for at least 20 years now, first with the language specific express editions, and now with full community edition.

My understanding here is that the main objective is to break up the MasterCard/Visa duopoly. I guess breaking up duopolies is always a win for the general public, no?
> The initial investment into the required infrastructure is low and the payment mechanism operates more cost efficiently than existing payment solutions, with lower transaction fees - a benefit that will be shared by consumers and merchants.

They did the same with Google Play Music, but the YouTube Music app was so much of a worse experience for me that I just switched to Apple Music.

So I do think moves like this still fit into some category of “killed by Google” lists.
I don't know about productivity but the quality of my work is better, and I am a much more sociable person when I am happy and awake than when I am draggy my ass, still sleepy to an office.

I think that should be enough for any company.
I love remote work but I don't know if I'd call it morally evil to have people on site. There's something to be said for being in the same physical space as your peers and the social bonds that form, etc.

But the only way I commute now is by train and/or bike, most commutes to some godawful office park hellscape in San Jose are agony.
I guess you can put your wanted songs in a “playlist” directory and define it in the config?

If by "interested" you mean point out your gender, call you slurs, and ask you for pics, then... sure?
A hard disagree on "companies that need them more than they need the company". A headless company can still run, a company-less CEO is nothing. But this is the culture we're in, paying the friends of the board millions regardless of their performance, because the board knows they get their backs rubbed as well.
> it made it a nightmare to rearrange the tracks.

This is where sectional track is a godsend. Easy to rearrange before worrying about tacking it down. For example, Märklin C-track. Ballasted roadbed. Clicky connectors that stay connected. Metal bits for attaching power+control leads.

And for tacking it all down, Homasote makes it easy to detach+reattach and deadens sound.
>as a blockchain cannot implement digital cash

I guess Satoshi would disagree with the notion since the initial promise of Bitcoin was that it was in fact "electronic cash".
> While allowed due to backward compatibility to XHTML, they have never been specified, do nothing, and browsers ignore them so it is pointless to put them there.

What do you mean by "never been specified"? They are in the spec: https://www.w3.org/html/wg/spec/syntax.html#start-tags

> Then, if the element is one of the void elements, or if the element is a foreign element, then there may be a single U+002F SOLIDUS character (/). This character has no effect on void elements, but on foreign elements it marks the start tag as self-closing.
This is nominally true but when I was looking for a place to rent I needed to be sure it had a space for remote work, which made it more expensive. I tried working from a desk in a wide part of my hallway or in my room (shared with my spouse) and it really didn't work. If you have young kids a separate room is pretty much a must, and ideally, a separate structure (like a small backyard office).

I dont think open source people are against open source models. Most are against work being used without their licensing respected. If models trained by companies on open source data would be open source that would be a win. But they arent. Furthermore, software people are heavily opposed to stealing artist’s work.
But the Rust project isn't exactly known for moving fast.

I looked up a basic function I needed for a project and it has been stuck in nightly since 2017. Golang added the same function in a dot-n release.
I have some months ago messed around with writing a plugin that allows collaborative editing in some sense.

Basically, I realized that my notes are in nextcloud and nextcloud already has a collaborative markdown editor based on Y.js.

So my goal was to open a file from nextcloud in obsidian as a participant to the collaborative editor session of that file. Right now I'm a bit busy with exams but it was working pretty well and I may finish it sometime.
To add another idea, perhaps suggest him to do first, as a trial, a physical version of it (a board game). Tell him that is a good approach to explore the design space, playability, etc.

It adds a different set of constraints, but it is like 10000X more manageable and pretty fun to build together, because the kid can actually do most of the prototype by himself. Quicker to test, iterate, etc.

Then maybe he is satisfied with this and will just want to make another different game :)
Doesn't that system of interviewers just bring different biases? Even if they use a standardized scoring method or something, the bias would be built into that. And everyone would indeed be held to the same, biased, standard.

> Depends on who you ask. What’s the region in question? What counts as a standard? Is Nynorsk codified by ISO? Et cetera.

A government regulating it by teaching it in school and actively using it in public would be a strong criteria. Alternatively, an established body of literature that serves as a model (that's how written Italian evolved).

Yes, that's also what I said. However, any official announcements or documents are quite unlikely to use it.
Not just KDE, any Linux desktop should be able to do this. It certainly works perfectly well in Linux Mint Cinnamon and Xfce. It's a long time since I used Windows but I think it works there too.
If you ever competed in the IMO, then you know those geometry problems are really hard.

It's odd that for me, and I guess most people, the non-geometry problems are easier. Yet it is the geometry that seems to fall first.

Not unless you actually got hired directly by Google. TVCs don’t have the same level of access/responsibility as FTEs. Also, iirc, your contract should state that it’s a breach to represent yourself as a Google employee.
What you are describing is a TUI, not a CLI.
"The absolute top end Android processors get about 76% of the performance of Apple's processors" isn't the strong argument you may think it is tbh. Per clock performance is uninteresting (it's not like performance is linear with clock speed anyway, and target clock speed is a huge part of the CPU, so I don't even understand why you'd want to adjust for it even in principle in this comparison).
Fabulous, guess that's the other part of productizing: a paying customer!

While I cannot fault them for this decision, it is also antithetical to the decision I'd want made for me.

Nowadays there's GPL-licensed one-size-fits-all digital control software called RocRail. I haven't tried it myself but it looks good.

On the other hands this is interesting for sys/cloud admins/ops workers.

With colleagues in different timezones you can say goodbye to on-call shifts and being woken up in the middle of the night for issues. An indian or euro colleague can do maintenance stuff on infra used by US developers and customers and the US ones can do the same for indian/euro facing ones. All this without the fatigue and risk of mistakes that comes with working very late into the night or early in the morning.

I've worked in a team with indian, euro and us workers and we could find a way to get meetings because indian people do not usually know how to say No. So they tend to stay later than us euro guys and we would have most of our meetings in a short window in early evening (India) / afternoon (Europe) / morning (USA). Actually that was a good thing because it meant most of our calls would be concentrated in that same time window so you could focus on actual work the rest of the day instead of having calls spread out over a full day of work and lots of interruptions / context switches.
I think that’s only part of the equation. There also must be many people who hear about a product or service on some media and then sign up later without remembering the code (or that the podcast was the reason they are doing it). You could have a “how did you hear about us” question, but those are annoying.
Biased in what way? The authors provide solid arguments for why they think Hudi is a good tool.
Im driving 2018 Skoda Octavia (3rd generation). No internet, no anti-theft, no subs. It has touchscreen radio, but basically everything have a dedicated button still (whole clima control, including heating seats, front/rear glass etc). I touch it like twice a year. You can get it AWD and my avg is around 8-9 L/100km (I drive rather energetic and short trips, it can do 6 L/100km when I try).

4th generation is where the mess began. Colleague is driving one and I wouldn't want it for free. Stuff like simulating motor sound inside cabin (has a dedicated speaker/rumbler under windshield) can only be turned off trough 4 clicks on touchscreen (which is basically non-responsive for 2 minutes after starting), and have to be disabled everytime ignition starts. And so much more its pitiful.

Overworking doctors and understaffing to save money and any cutting corners being done is something that should be outlawed, rigorously inspected and investigated constantly. At every single hospital system I've been at in the last 10 years, which is several due to chronic health issues, there definitely needed to be at a minimum 2x as many working staff as there are. There's really not excuse other than corporate greed going on here. Profit margins should not be the bottom line in a life saving institution. It is destroying society from the inside out.
No, serious question, how/when would I even notice that? I rarely do resource intensive stuff on my phone
I think any given job is neither interesting nor boring- it the attitude that makes it so. For example I am the person who don't like doing the stuff if I know how to do it - it boring for me, while my colleague is happily dingo stuff that is clean while skipping obscured tasks. Following this you cannot give someone interesting task, you can only guide person to choose the right perspective
If it’s equally convenient and cheaper, people could easily use this. It may even be their bank who sets it up for them when they pay for something.

I picked up LOGO when I was 6 and leant Pascal and C later.

I didn't program for a few years because I wasn't interested in competitions. So I think interest is the most important, otherwise it will be easy to get lost and give up.

Later, I became very interested in programming, mainly because I came into contact with music technology.

I think since your child is interested in game development, it is a good choice to start step by step. For example, starting with threejs. I also recommend learning Rust and Bevy so you learn the underlying layers and ECS.

Last but not least, although it's not related to games dev but I sincerely invite you and your son to try Glicol (https://glicol.org), a music programming project that I am developing.
This is fascinating and inspiring progress! What's crazy to me is how many people are looking to put stakes in the ground in front of this, claiming breathlessly before anyone can speak, that this isn't real AI progress or this isn't actually doing it how humans supposedly do, and implying that therefore it's not a big deal. I'm sorry to break to you folks, this is just another sign post moment. One more event to mark our place in history as we sail on. And when we look back on it, there isn't going to be all the disclaimers people are trying to throw down now. We had imagenet and deep blue, we had alphazero, alphago, GPT4, alphafold, and now we have AlphaGeometry.As DJ Khaled likes to point out, this is.. Another one
I did follow iFixit and replaced the battery and SSD. Battery life is still terrible compared to a modern laptop. It's just a limitation of 14 year old tech.
The US not only has SWIFT, the US government basically controls it; they’re the ones who cut off Russia. In my experience the US was probably slightly ahead of the UK in terms of cards being accepted everywhere rather than needing cash. All of my utility bills have been on electronic autopay for years along with all of my other bills and I write a paper check probably less than once a year.

I don’t know what a “physical email” is. I occasionally receive bills in the postal mail (mixed in with all the spam our postal service likes to deliver every day as some sort of sick and twisted jobs program) but they usually have a QR code I can scan to pay them online.

Social security numbers are de facto national identification numbers. The US is a federation of fifty states so photo ID cards are issued at the state level, similar to how your national ID in Europe will be issued by Spain or Estonia rather than the EU itself. But you can use a passport or even get a passport card instead if you really want to.

“E-government” is a broad subject. In some use cases (internet voting) I don’t trust it one bit. In other use cases (filing and paying taxes or instant background checks), we have it covered. And in yet other use cases (buying health insurance), it was actually easier to do online before the government took it over, at least in my experience. My previous state set up an online system to file for unemployment during COVID but then lost millions of taxpayer dollars to overseas scammers who would steal the identities of residents at random and file for unemployment in their names; a better system probably could have been implemented if it wasn’t done at the last minute and with zero verification.

You might need to be a bit flexible on the "modern" requirement in order to get what you want/need.

Being familiar with fairly recent models(in the EU), if you sacrifice the AWD/4WD requirement, you can find some low-end minis/hatches that will do - if you would consider them. Likely the case in the US, too.

Going "up" comes with at least some of these undesirable(for you) features for all new cars I can think of.

AFAIK the only candidates that meet these requirements are older model cars.
As an aside, the taler (or thaler) is an old German-and-surrounding-regions coin that’s the root etymology for the word “dollar”.
