To save on disk you must use Chrome or Edge because only they support necessary APIs.

Initial note storage is in localStorage. To switch to disk: right-click for context menu, `Notes storage` / `Move notes from browser to directory`.

Then choose a directory on disk and we will do one time migration from localStorage => disk.

You can then switch to another directory (some apps call it a "workspace"). Because why not.

Encryption is probably the next feature I'll add because I want to store secrets in my notes and I'll feel better if those notes are encrypted.

Multiple notes is pretty big addition. I loved the concept and implementation of blocks in Heynote but a single note was a deal breaker for me.

I've also added some UI like right-click context menu for discoverability, ability to enable spell checking.

And I'm really trying to optimize for speed of use, including speed of switching between notes.

For example you can assign Alt + 0 .. Alt + 9 as note quick access shortcuts.

By default I create 3 notes: scratchpad, daily journal and inbox and they get Alt + 1, Alt + 2, Alt + 3 quick access shortcuts but you can assign them to any page you want.
I'm wondering if it may actually be more related to the rumored M* Series servers they've been building for internal use. Would make sense they would want the connectivity / backbone for their AI farm.

I have a question.

What if there was a place that you and a few colleagues could go where you could have your living space and office space provided, basic food served, and basic amenities.

Such a place would probably be somewhat isolated and probably not in your own county. If such a place existed that catered to founders in exchange for minimal equity, is that something that would interest you, theoretically?
I like how there is a constant stream of people realizing and writing blog posts about this.
It does not accomplish that though. If you want to limit concentration of powrr actually use the antitrust laws and break these oligopolists and monopolists up. If you want to be fairrealizethat a dividend or capital gain was corporate income that was yaxed once already and to keep it equivalent to personal income it needs to be taxed substantially less when it becomes personal income (atleast up here in canada, fairness would involve cutting taxes on capital gains and dividends to makeit equivalent again).

if anything, this accomplishes theopposite of what you want because the aspiring rich will het taxed to death and the old money will avoid most of this, calcifying the rich and everyone else divide.

Interesting reason. But I guess everyone's different.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of most romances unless it's a central point. They just feel so superfluous because you need to rely on very strong charaterization to make it work. Hard to do if you also need to focus on making a good core game.

This shouldn't be necessary with a well-designed menu interface. Firstly the whole thing should be indexed anyway, allowing easy jumping between categories. And if something looks good you should be able to favourite it with a single tap, or at least add it to your order with a single tap. (If you end up with too many items in you order, consider it a short-list, reviewing the items and narrowing it down from the final order review page).
So was Apollo. If I assert that each Apollo mission had a 1 in 4 chance of killing astronauts they didn't do enough flights to prove me wrong.

NASA aims for a 1 in 400 chance. You'd need thousands of flight to prove that level of risk. They have to rely on risk modelling.
I mean, I guess? I don't know how many people base their choice in AI model or application on the voice, but maybe I'm just not privy to that.

I wouldn't want my terminal to even have code that can try to access the network. It doesn't need it, it's superfluous, and bugs in it (or even in the code that determines whether or not it should try to access the network) could open me up to security issues.

And I'm not even like other commenters who have strict security needs around their work where things that can access the network need to be vetted before being approved for use.

I think some of it is backlash against AI though; you're probably right about that.

Would it help if you thought of Anti-Zionism as a social justice movement rather than a foreign policy ideology?

The goal here is social justice for Palestinians, as of now, they don’t have civil rights, political recognition, nor any non-violent avenues of resistance. So I get your sense that, yes, these are urgent issues which needs addressed. But the anti-Zionist will not stop until full justice is achieved. Maybe you are looking at an anti-racist while slavery is still a thing, or a land-back activist during the trial of tears. Perhaps you are a reformist being presented with a radical (i.e. looking at the root of the issue) solution.

For me the root of the issue is the settler colonial prospect of Israel, while Israel wants to maintain any ethnocratic policies (i.e. zionism) it will have to come at the cost of civil rights for Palestinians. My solution is to not grant Israel the right of ethnocratic policies.

Do your research before embarking on the journey to create another Typeform alternative or Typeform with a twist. There are robust form builders that serve multiple form use cases like Joyfill.io, Tally.so, Fillout.com, just to name a few. I've spent 10+ years in this space and just about every product needs forms of some kind, so definitely a ton of validation for it right now. I just don't want you to start on this endeavor if the problem has already been well solved.

Honestly, you are on the right track to focus on a specific niche or market regardless of the product you build.

>Any links using those schemes when clicked, would open the MacOS terminal to perform the corresponding action.

I'm unclear which of these are being described:

1: when printed and clicked, they may be handled by the terminal, and the terminal's handling allows more behaviors than it should, allowing code execution

2: when printed, these urls are automatically executed by the shell, allowing code execution

Neither are good of course, but they're different levels of badness, and I feel like I must be missing a single critical word somewhere to be able to figure out which it is.

That said, oh boy I do not want this:

>Most terminal emulators these days allow using Osc 8 to directly generate hyperlinks from arbitrary text.

Is there a standard way to disable it? That sounds awful, terminals don't have even a small fraction of browsers' malicious-link-defense mechanisms (as demonstrated). I always want to see the full url in a terminal.
No? Apollo ran more than a dozen times and failed one time.

When prices rise, we'd expect revenues to rise, which is not necessarily given back to workers in the form of buying power. (See grocery stores having record profits as prices have rised, for instance - that increase in profits is probably in part the gap between prices and wages showing up.)

However, no company is going to do that the other way around - if their revenues fall, they will either cut wages or fire people in order to still be profitable, so deflation should show up faster in loss of buying power too. Companies don't generally just accept lower profits, and shareholders especially do not accept this.
> Are we talking about AI/ML?

No, I was speaking to the usual single-core and multi-core benchmarks. Though you should buy based on what performance metrics you value most.

While I have a basic understanding of TOPS metrics I don’t have a good enough understanding to speak much about it — especially when I’m not sure of what exact AI/ML workloads will be used on such platforms. I mean, how many tokens/sec and what wattage does that equate to?

> Also, as far I know, Elite does match M3.

I would disagree from what I’ve seen.

> Actually, Qualcomm promise that even X Plus is able to match it, as they say Elite is better than M3.

The real world benchmarks will tell. I am super curious about the performance-per-watt which is something that really matters to me (heat, battery life, etc).

Can the Elite outperform Apple’s chips? Can it do it at comparable wattage, or is it going to burn your lap doing so? Can’t wait to see.
> ... Coupled with the west's military equipment establishment being disastrously optimized for sort-term profits.

A couple of years ago, I would have agreed that the Western military procurement system is so corrupt, that this was the main fault.

However, what we just saw happen due to Ukrainian ingenuity and desperation was almost a phase change level event, at the infantry level.

Only 2 years ago, it was US supplied Javelins killing Russian tanks at a cost of $176k a shot. Today, it is a $500 drone with a spare RPG round killing those Russian tanks. That's around a 20x reduction in cost. The delivery method is better in many ways, and can be manufactured in a thousand bedrooms, simultaneously.

Not only could Russian procurement not adapt at this rate, but neither could Western procurement. Both sides still have no idea what to do about FPV/RPG drones.

I think that the pace of change may have outpaced even our own mutual corruption, as our main fault. This might only be the beginning of that asymmetrical ability curve.
> Who's morals are they using for the "correct" response?[...]There's too much subjectivity in a question and response for this.

Except we don't even know if the question was about morals, if there is a "correct" answer.

In particular, as it's an online form there's a myriad of things that can be gained from this that aren't directly related to the content (from the top of my head, how long it takes the candidate to answer, how much back and forth happens etc). Coupled with follow up questions, this could tell a lot about how the person comes to a decision, does it incrementally or not, deals confusing situations etc.

I mean, that's basically what we do in our field with whiteboard sessions. Throw a potentially random question and work with the candidate to see how they handle it.

PS:
> it's about guaranteed that someone will get hurt/offended/feel like a fool

Taking your correction on them applying for an admin related role, if they're offended by seemingly absurd question, I think they'll have a hard time dealing with many of the checklists they'll have to fill in their role.

Otherwise if a candidate isn't comfortable with a test or question I'd expect them to discuss it with the interviewer. If that exchange can't happen, the relationship is already in a bad place and I see that application as dead (whoever's fault it is). Imagine entering salary discussion when you can't even ask what an interview question is about.
> same reason that every recipe you find online has 2 pages of drivel

I think HN fits the standard definition of a social media site:

> Social media are interactive technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual communities and networks.

Hacknews is one virtual community. The whole point of visiting the site is to aggregate content and read and make comments about that content.

Reddit and slashdot are also both social media sites.

What? Those aren't equivalent at all.

Where are you expecting an AttributeError to come from? Why are you comfortable catching them from anything inside of the baz(...) invocation?

The traditional method would be to just bind it and check for a null outside the expression.

foo = bar()
if foo is not None:
baz(foo)

I don't know why people insisted on pretending binding variables before using them was such a difficulty that it was worth altering the language. Lazy and bad programmers aren't going to stop being lazy and bad when you hand them the ability to name things willy nilly. They'll just use that badly as well.
>Consumers don't want pornography in their games,

I kinda do. I just want them to be more than a fade to black implication or awkward not even colliding meshes with low res genetalia.

It's a landmine, so no AAA dev is doing any of that, and it's really high tech to do convincingly so few indies can pull it off. That's why 2d works like VN's tend to be the best compromise. a gif loop or a few still frames and a seductive voice can be just enough to sell the scene.

> they're completely different products: visual novels are closer to a slideshow than a game

most western ones. They're "expensive" to westerners, but if you ever buy a decent Japanese VN you can understand the appeal. full voice acting, multiple different scenes and poses, an actual attempt at a narrative (we can argue all day if it's good, but so many western ones have shifted to "haha quirky meta" as a substitute for substance), good music, etc. Some even have some surprisingly addicting gameplay, which makes you question why it's categorized as a "visual novel". But that's marketing for you.

I don't blame you for your opinion, but I assure you it can be done right.

You answered the question yourself..can you at least edit your comment so you won’t confuse otherwise correctly oriented computer science practitioners?

The commutative property is fundamental to understanding algebraic structures and fast parallel processing. If a binary operation is commutative over a given set then, yes, a proper compiler will parallelize it. No, it will not necessarily use OS threads directly one to one, that’s usually not a consideration even for a naive approach.

In the context of Java, by "module", I really mean "class" or "object".

> but DI means that the dependencies are defined externally to the actual business logic, which kinda contradicts this "fetch them for themselves".

Yes, that is what I am saying, DI is an alternative to patterns like the singleton class.

For example if you have a singleton for a database connection, and a bunch of services that use it.
The services have a direct reference to the singleton, they "fetch the db connection for themselves".

Compared to DI, a singleton makes it more difficult to mock the connection for tests, also running tests in parallel is more difficult.
If you get a requirement to make the app multi-tenant, refactoring the application to talk to multiple databases is more difficult.
Yeah, that was what I meant (mea culpa). I often appreciate the use of native languages when all members are expected to understand that, but a public code base would have to be written in English. The exact dialect of English is not as important.

I think the phrase you are looking for is that LLMs/GPTs are "a solution in search of a problem". They suffer from the exact same that every neural network has in that their behaviour is unpredictable in corner cases. That's not something one can trust their business to. There have been enough legal issues created by simple chat bots agreeing to deals with customers that I don't see how one can build trustworthy automation on top of LLMs/GPTs without a human in the loop to catch the failures. Of course, there will be plenty of people that will do that regardless.
Israel was financing Gaza but not providing Gazan Palestinians political representation. Germans and Japanese were "given" a state where they had full rights as citizens. Political representation is an important way to defuse tensions and provide political legitimacy to a new regime. Even autocratic governments like China or Iran are beholden to the whims of their people, even if they can afford to ignore some. Israelis don't have to care about Palestinians at all. They can turn the strip into a tourist destination and no matter how much the Palestinians protest they have no representation to affect the government's course.

Gazan Palestinians don't even have limited local rule the way Chinese autonomous regions or Puerto Rico do.

Note that despite aid and the occupation, Japan had significant unrest following the war. The Communist Party of Japan's candidate Inejirou Asanuma was assassinated by an imperial revanchist on Oct 12, 1960 [1].

The taskbar change is a symbolic thing. The company that spent decades pushing "we don't break the customer's workflow" has decided that's no longer a high priority.

They are playing at a unique scale: even a "narrow interest" feature with .1% take rate is millions of people they snub if they break it. That's a huge responsibility and they used to be very good and respecting it.

The fact they backpedaled some of the changes shows that it wasn't actually a difficult technical limitation, or necessary to enable some new vision. So we can either give them the benefit of the doubt and say they lacked the resources to prioritize these features (on a trillion dollar company?) or we can figure it's a mindset of "if we break people's existing workflow, it steers them into something we prefer" (see, any excuse they can find to monkey with people's default browsers and home pages).

My work sent me a Win11 laptop. I dislike it because of an obvious trifling thing (I miss being able to click on the clock and get a pop-up month calendar), but there are other nuisances:

* Rounded window corners. I don't know who is begging for them, because it's the trend in several newer Wayland desktops, MacOS, and now Win11. It might work well with exclusively new software designed assuming there are keep-out areas, but right now we still have the occasional legacy program with some trim in the corner that's being unceremoniously cut off. This seems like something that would be a themable option, but the ability to style Windows with built-in tools seems to have peaked years ago and is crumbling with every new version. The overall look just felt off, like someone was trying to convince their elderly Grandma that a KDE desktop with Firefox was the Windows XP + IE6 he was used to.

* The constant unasked-for changes. This last week, my machine started displaying a bunch of weather and sports boxes on the lock-screen. I didn't ask for that. I assume it's an extension of the earlier "let's put a bunch of random dialog on the lock screen about the random wallpaper, which happened to of course link back to Bing" feature I didn't ask for. I don't know how to be rid of it offhand, and can't be bothered trying to find out. (It's a work machine, so I'm not going to put that much effort into making it 'mine'.) But I shouldn't have to be going in and making changes to keep the machine I use for work purposes in a predictable steady state (modulo security fixes).
