As someone else mentioned, this is how Org mode works on Emacs, not only that, but by setting:

(setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)

You can hide the markers (*, /, _, etc.) by default, and toggle them with:

M-x visible-mode

It also has many other features that integrate well with Emacs.
You're right, that is a good simplification of that option to make it less tech dependent:

* Generate addresses with that process (that can be done in the head)

* Programmatically verify the incoming addresses to filter junk/not (hopefully not difficult with postfix, just use the “standard” config-in-db setup with a stored procedure to do the mapping instead of a simple SELECT so you can check the checksum (in fact, it should be possible with a SELECT but I expect the syntax will be more messy that way))

* Still have a whitelist for addresses previously used, unless using a new sub-domain for this setup

* Still send mismatches to a junk folder not /dev/null in case of mistakes

I might go that way when I finally get around to rebuilding & migrating my mail server(s)…
Is a happy life a good life? I'm really not sure, but pursuit of the former is more of a modern conception of value as far as I can tell.

Living a happy life and living a meaningful life aren't entirely the same thing. Not that you claimed they were, but I personally find it fruitful to cognate on the different lifestyles implied by optimizing for different values and how they fit together.

In particular, as we get older I think we also get more skillful at handling our own internal and external conditions to create a comfortable-like happiness. However, one of those skills is filtering out potentials for discomfort from unexpected events. Well made plans and expertly crafted systems of comfort also function as barriers between you and the larger world in a sense. Is that desirable?

In my experience, negative-valence emotions like non-panic fear, confusion, dissatisfaction, et al necessarily invoke an associated underlying value, providing a creative and productive impetus to produce said value(s). How desirable is that?

Republicans are saying that immigrants are literally bringing fentanyl in (as in they have fentanyl in their backpacks when crossing the border). That they are the cause of the fentanyl problem. Stop them to solve the fentanyl problem.

To believe this, you have to assume that the reporting on fentanyl smuggling by the DEA and CBP and the fentanyl convictions data from the USSC that all point to US citizen being responsible for bringing in fentanyl in to the US is insufficient because "we don't know the undetected trafficking rate is in each location". It's possible that we missed this one immigrant carrying by themself 51% of the fentanyl brought into the US, so lets put the blame on immigrants.

Renewables don't do reliable baseload _yet_, that is true. But not being able to completely replace gas does not equate not competing at all. That is a fallacy. For example, we are a laggard on renewables (Netherlands), but are catching up nicely:

https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2024/10/nearly-half-the-electr...

If you look at the chart it is clear that as renewables are rising (both wind and solar), fossil based electricity declines (including gas).

This is easily understood when you consider that gas is used to generate way more than the baseload. When solar energy is producing, it is more often than not cheaper than gas, and when it isn't it is easy enough to supplement with gas. That means solar competes, but doesn't replace.

There are lots of problems with the transition we are making, some are real, some are due to stupidity and others to greed and malice. It doesn't help that the solutions have become so politicized. I'm convinced that at the end of the transition we'll have an abundant amount of cheap, renewable and clean energy.
I also use GraphenOS and the regular google camera app, everything except the AI features works , and the camera quality is on par with what I got while using the Stock OS for a day (it was also one of my biggest fears, that the Camera quality would be worse, that's why I compared it).

I've tried the Graphene Camera app, but to be honest the UX is a bit janky, but I think the image quality is basically the same.

It's honestly getting tiresome reading about yet another company that rides on the wave of open source for popularity and growth, but only for as long as it suits their own bottom line. Just like every other example, the page is filled to the brim with borderline unparsable marketing speak and, excuse my french, pure bullshit. Here's an example:

> we are updating our licensing model to better serve our diverse community of users

One could hope that whoever wrote this at least had the decency to blush while doing so. So here's what's actually happening, as I understand it at least:

CockroachDB used to be split into "Core" and "Enterprise". Core was Apache 2.0 licensed (open source), Enterprise was BSL (fake open source, "source available", bullshit). After three years, BSL code becomes real open source. This setup that they are sunsetting is already pretty restrictive, and is by no means uncontroversially "open source".

The New And Improved(tm) idea they have to "better serve" their "diverse community of users" is even worse: it's free as in beer to use, but other than that it's completely proprietary, and it also includes *mandatory telemetry* for non-paying users. Any reference to "open" in regards to this product is a complete lie, because being able to read the source code does not make a product open source -- Microsoft allows you to read their code too, if you sign a piece of paper with them.

I've never used CockroachDB, but I'm glad I saw this, because now I know there's a 0% chance I will ever consider using it.

The overwhelming public support for marijuana is the main marker to consider when psychoanalyzing why someone is willing to break one law but maybe/maybe-not others.

The dominant perception among tech talent is the law hasn’t kept up with the times.

Drawing conclusions about one’s choice to use or try marijuana is perceived as unacceptable cultural behavior that is not currently within the modern scope of what we could refer to as "Overton’s window".

It discredits them. Imagine the modern version – a privileged upper-middle class person with an expensive upbringing and education talking about stoicism ala Ryan Holiday and hard work. Their version of stoicism is most likely about not worrying of the fluctuations of stock values. An economically disenfranchised man's stoicism is about seeing their health degrade.
It's interesting that you use Paul Graham as an example. Another comment in this thread shows him using the outline technique for one of his essays: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41149003

Yes, he didn't come up with the ideas from scratch as he was writing them. It took years to gain the experience and expertise. Yet he still saw the value in outlining when the time came to write it down.

> Filling out an outline like this produces an uninspired, boring, formulaic trash

So write a better outline. George R. R. Martin and Agatha Christie both used extensive notes and outlines as part of their writing process.

> She made endless notes in dozens of notebooks, jotting down erratic ideas and potential plots and characters as they came to her “I usually have about half a dozen (notebooks) on hand and I used to make notes in them of ideas that struck me, or about some poison or drug, or a clever little bit of swindling that I had read about in the paper”.

> She spent the majority of time with each book working out all the plot details and clues in her head or her notebooks before she actually started writing.

I think the main confusion is about the speedrunning aspect. You don't speedrun gathering thoughts, you speedrun turning those thoughts (that took weeks, months, or years to develop) into writing. You may not struggle with writing, but a lot of people absolutely are.

I really don't see western elites caring about freedom, lol.
The teach who was put in charge of updating and design our new computer lab and educational material, back in the late 80s, was heavily into Amigas. The Amiga had a pretty large market share in Northern Europe, but our teacher wasn't naive or blind sighted by his own preference, so he opted to equip the schools lab with Macs. Now that was not common at all, the obvious choice would have been PCs running Windows 3.0, but I think that might have come out exactly to late, so he would have been looking at Windows 2 or 2.1 when starting out, and coming from the Amiga, that would probably have been unacceptable.

Still the Mac wasn't big in Denmark at that point, but in the late 80s, early 90s our school had an insane amount of Macintosh computers. Had the teacher in charge been a DOS guy, that lab might have looked very different.

When you're talking about "evil" and percentages of life spent in jail, I'm going to ask for a more direct causal link to harm than just "demonstration is trivial and left to the reader".

Something changed recently though because yes there are those MBA types but the engineer in the room used to be not a sales type person.

That being said, this was a bug in the code. All of us write bugs, and so we should maybe not be as harsh to other people who do. Was it a convenient bug? Yes it was, it helped push a narrative around video and provided more videos for people on FB. Was that intentional? Almost certainly not, although they should've fixed it much, much quicker.
>There's nothing like a team sitting together working towards a common goal. WFH can't duplicate it.

They're gonna need to put up more money to get people back in the office then. Maybe even get rid of the open office bullshit. Remember when everyone actually had offices with actual doors?

Not only are people choosing the WFH job over the in office job given the same salary and benefits, but they'll likely choose a less-paying WFH job. Your in-office job pay needs to overcome both the convenience and getting-people-to-change-jobs taxes now. Otherwise you are getting people desperate for a job or that aren't skilled enough to land a WFH job.

So it's simple: you ask for more, you pay more. We know Schmidt's comment "Google decided that work life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning." is just trying to get more out of workers for no additional pay. Convincing people to work harder with words only costs time.

But companies aren't doing that. They're going the opposite direction and making return to office a threatening and oppressive response. Then they are also turning around and doing layoffs on top of it. Those who are good can go find a WFH job.

None of what the CEOs are doing coincide with what they are saying, and no one trusts them. Why would you actually want to do good work for a company/CEO like that? You'd just be saving them from themselves for no additional pay and a lot more driving to work!
Ah sorry, I always make the assumption I'm talking to parent comments.

Parent comment is claiming the cold war was won through liberal democratic means. I claim that the tools employed by the US were violent incursions. I'm not claiming the US was violent for violence's sake. They were calculated actions with the intent of smothering any left leaning movement in the third world. Specifically the Indonesian case is egregious because their communist party was about as left wing as Bernie Sanders, and still a US-backed genocide was carried out against (suspected) leftists in Indonesia. Similar with the case in Chile. This was a democratically elected center left president, and the US-backed coup installed a violent dictatorship for the next 15 years.

And that is where the leadership issue lies. Either because they can’t identify them, or can’t motivate them, or can’t fire them. Who is responsible for doing that? I don’t think it is the janitors. It is the leadership, very much.

Not at all, Epicurus

asserted that philosophy's purpose is to attain as well as to help others attain happy (eudaimonic), tranquil lives characterized by ataraxia (peace and freedom from fear) and aponia (the absence of pain).

He advocated that people were best able to pursue philosophy by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends.

He taught that the root of all human neuroses is denial of death and the tendency for human beings to assume that death will be horrific and painful, which he claimed causes unnecessary anxiety, selfish self-protective behaviors, and hypocrisy.

Steam is a way better product than the appstore. Appstore is full of toxic games with gambling monetization and in app purchases, steam is full of games you buy upfront and dlc is clearly labeled with dollar signs in the app store instead of premium gems etc.

I blame the apple appstore for creating that toxic ecosystem that made phonegames suck so hard. If there were alternatives things would be so much better, like you have in pc gaming. Steam launching game stores in the phones would be a massive win for everyone.

That's not what these people care about. Someone like Schmidt or Musk would be perfectly happy in a CCP-like regime, as long as they can be at the top.

They were fine investing money in China when they thought the country was going to be a complete free market they could rule. That's also why they hate the EU so much, because sometimes the EU is bothering their corps a bit.

KeepassXC can sync changes between your opened database and the (modified) file on your storage. However, you need to make sure your sync tool doesn’t see conflicts and renames the file, i.e. don’t save the database on multiple systems at nearly the same time.
I did this for a class on compilers and interpreters where we wrote our own, each week expanding on functionality but keeping the 2 in feature parity. I wrote Python to auto generate test cases. I vaguely recall that the test was if the two operated the same (given the simplicity of the interpreter I viewed it as a "gold standard"). See [1] for his it worked. Among the bugs in my code I found 2 things through that exercise:

1. Functional programmers often write slow code. It turned out that my compiler was spending most of its time in my professor's code that while I'm sure was very mathematically pure, was a large consumer of immutable, short lifetime objects. Meaning under the hood mallocs. I should've valgrinded it but I'm certain it would've overflowed the counters (jokes)

2. If a comment spanned multiple lines in the resulting assembly, I could escape the comment and operate outside the bounds the professor setup, letting me use more assembly directives to solve the problems way easier. Ultimately we worked to fix that because usually it just means the student will try to compile part of a comment as assembly and that can be very confusing for the less assembler-error inclined. I used it for having a constant before a variable for type tagging. A 1 line solution. I believe the class's preferred way was putting the tag in a register and yadda yadda something that took a lot more finagling and effort. I did that maybe once before using my knowledge of the comment escape to do the arbitrary code injection.

[1] interpreted was written in the language we were interpreting, so as long as there were no typos or logic errors, the functionally was perfect vs running the code in the programming language. The compiler would return back a series of objects that wrapped assembly. For example, Add(R2, R2, R3). Usually pretty transparent. The framework we were given would then write out the .s file, I believe it would call some gcc or other thing, and we'd run the binary to make sure it worked.
