I also used Logseq for a couple of years during my PostDoc and it is an excellent product. I also got into the habit of writing everything in the daily journal (with things like [[emacs]] in each top-level bullet so that I could read it under the Emacs page). I tried replicating this workflow in other system, including Obsidian and Org Roam and Denote which all support back links and journals – it works but it wasn’t as smooth as Logseq’s transclusion.

Currently, I’m using Howm, and am quite happy with that. Its motto is “write fragmentarily and read collectively”, which summarizes well what I liked about Logseq.

It’s however a slightly different workflow: I launch “howm-list-all” (I bind it to F12) to see a list of all notes, which I use similarly to Logseq’s journal. To read recent entries, use arrow keys or n/p to move between recent notes (which I use like top-level bullets in the Logseq journal), which are instantly previewed in a pane below. Or press “c” (create) to create a new note, which is automatically date stamped. Whenever I in Logseq would create a new top-level journal bullet, I in Howm create a new datestamped Org file. For sub-bullets I use Org outlining. But it largely has the same feel to me as Logseq’s journal system although it maps to different files on disk.

Instead of Logseq hashtags, I use Howm’s comefrom links. So say I am working on a project called “Foo Bar”. In Logseq, I’d type [[Foo Bar]] in my journal every time I think about that project. In Howm, I’d make a new note that contains a Howm link of the form “<<< Foo Bar”. Now, whenever I write the exact phrase “Foo Bar” (without any link syntax!) in another note, it automatically becomes a clickable link pointing to my Foo Bar page! I find this more efficient actually than Logseq’s approach since “typing the backlink instead of the link” feels like less cognitive overhead and less work. (Logseq has “unlinked mentions” but it somehow felt less reliable.)

Note that Howm supports any text format (it’s a minor mode), and thus doesn’t mind if you import your existing Logseq Markdown files but write new content in Org-mode, for example. It also supports searching multiple folders, so that you can link from new Howm notes to old Logseq notes without “importing” them.

I hope this helps, and would encourage you to give Howm a try. It doesn’t help with templates and queries, but as the sibling post touched upon you could try using org-capture for templates and either org-ql or org-super-agenda for queries. Howm and Org work well together, so there’s no reason you can’t use different packages to replace different parts of Logseq in Emacs. (Logseq itself is a great product, but I prefer Org-mode for the keybindings and export.)

Nope, it does not, but Apple is miles ahead of MS in this implementation, so it works almost as intended (not really sleeping while not preheating your lunch in your backpack).

> a change that enterprise customers have asked for

"enterprise customers" have proper security policies and tooling to enforce them in place.

My employer has a "small" utility that periodically checks for version of installed software and will warn me if I don't install the necessary updates. If I don't install updates for more then x days I'm cut off every network access to the corporate network, and I must first install the updates and then ask my manager to let me back in the corporate network (again, there's automated tooling for that).

So this push for "always on" bullshit is not what enterprises asked for.

Microsoft wants mac/ios/android-like experience, but just can't deliver such thing due to hardware fragmentation.

I never understood why microsoft doesn't go full apple and only allows certain top-tier features on surface laptops or other hardware they own from top to bottom.

If you're serious about software you can't underrate the role of hardware: Apple has clearly got this incredibly right, and it's a fundamental part of their value proposition.

> The pensions people receive every month are literally paid by the taxes which are collected from everybody and every company during that month.

That might be how your pension works.

Other pension schemes; eg Singapores and some other former and current commonwealth countries pay pension from the returns from 60 odd years of compulsary investment and additional supplementary investment.

"Returns from an investment fund" are not the same as "taxes collected monthly", money, being fungible, can make it seem that way.

Their economic impact is to deprive opportunities from Americans just like the people walking in from Mexico.

There is a strong equivalency there.

More people graduated in computer science in the United States in the last few years than ever before and they can't find jobs.

Doesn't it beg the question...if they're so good for the economy in America why aren't they good for the economy in their own country?
No not really. Maybe in Ellis Island days.

Most born Americans certainly have no fainest clue how hard it is to legally immigrate to the USA already.

For me, it was the best part of 4 months of mornings, evenings and weekends - and roughly 40% of my sanity (quaternions took the other 60% a few years ago). And the work is nowhere near finished. Knowing that I still need to find a proper fix for CJK punctuation brings me out in hives. I've also developed a special hatred of Thai fonts.

As for styling a single Arabic glyph within a word ... has anyone in the world managed to do that? It's when I failed to achieve that idea I decided to throw in the towel and release the work as Good Enough because I've Had Enough!

Still - it was an adventure[1].

Varnish is not better in any shape or form than nginx for static content.
Varnish has one single usecase, php-sites. - For everything else it will just add a layer of complexity that give no gains. And since varnish is essentially built on apache there is some issues with how it handles connections above about 50k/sec - where it gets complicated to configure, something that nginx does not have.
Solar panels have a pretty low albedo compared to most surfaces: they will contribute to warming of the planet to some degree because less light gets reflected back into space. It's just much, much less than the warming from fossil fuels for the same amount of energy.

We've had a have a few issues related to the move to modern sleep - in that "shutdown" is now hibernate (with fast boot enabled) - so any issues that would be fixed with a restart remain.

With some machines, the modern sleep where it stays connected to the network can sometimes cause connection issues that aren't as obvious to the end user.

In a lot of cases we disable fast boot, and disable modern sleep and the problem goes away - but having the ability to select which parts should be enabled and disabled, like how you get the option with PS5's rest mode, would be very useful - especially if controllable by GPO / Intune.
I notice that many of the tools (at least in the repos linked) seem to have stopped development since a couple of years.

As some of these are wrappers for tools or use APIs that could mean that they do not work any more, or without special configuration. Or that things are stable, and the tools are "done".

> In Vue you can just change a property deep inside the model layer and the view updates

I never used vue for production apps, but my feeling tells me this could be a problem when the app becomes big.
If you change a prop deep inside the model layer the chances of triggering an unintentional view update are higher? By using setters, you're essentially creating a more structured and controlled way of updating your application's state. But I have the react googles on, maybe I am missing something :)

I've used this many times myself and it works great.

However, as I mentioned below, I read something recently that says local account options are being removed in an upcoming version (I can't find the article now).

It's not about mutable memory attacks, it's about not understanding the purpose of argv[0]. argv[0] is an argument, you are supposed to be able to set it to whatever you want. You are not supposed to rely on an argument to identify a program, that is nonsensical.

The problem here isn't argv[0], the problem is security software not understanding what argv[0] is and if you want security software to better be able to identify processes, the solution isnt changing argv[0], it's implementing an actual process ID checking.

The fact that it has worked for a decade+ over hardware revisions and OS updates is the key thing here.

Windows worked for a while, then didn't, then it worked again.

I actually destroyed a Windows laptop with a faulty lid suspend. Closed the lid, put it in a laptop bag and drove 3 hours. Got there and it was 100% dead, cooked itself alive pretty much by overheating in the bag.

Linux sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. Depends on hardware and software versions. It might work at first, then you update the OS and it breaks again.

Completely my feelings as well. I have an old desktop app I wrote a few years back in Vue2. The NodeJS version and all related libraries are outdated. But I can’t bring myself to update it to Vue 3. Every time I sit down, I am left wondering why such a rewrite is even necessary. So it’s still chugging along with contributions from others for the old code. When GitHub actions stops building the binary packages, I will have to eventually update I think.

Wouldn't this open up for manipulating LLMs?

You have a site, but the crawlers looks at the llms.txt and uses that, except the content is all wrong and bares no resemblance to the actual content of the page.

If you really care about your content being picked up by the scrapers, why not structure it better? Most of the LLMs are pretty much black boxes, so we don't really know what a better structure would look like, but I would make the guess that involves simplifying your HTML and removing irrelevant tokens.

I am just here to thank HN for introducing me to Neal Stephenson. My life has been made better by reading his books.

It's so nice that someone writes books for smart people.

All and every book I read before were for the lowest common denominator level of people. Sure, smart, educated, cultured, wise people could get more out of some of them (like Anna Karenina), but the books were written to be made accessible to each and every human.

Getting to know Neal's works has brought in a paradigm shift in my reading and thinking, and now I read other authors like Greg Egan, too.

Thanks to Neal for being himself. And thanks to HN for suggesting his works on books threads.

I am reading Quicksilver right now, and read Anathem, Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, Diamond Age before. Loved each one.

If you are reading this comment, feel free to suggest me other authors or works, although not from Neal, as I will read ALL of his works, anyway.
