I feel that it’s a different type of simplicity: Denote is simple and well-designed, but I personally found it a hassle to actually organize things in it. For instance, to actually find again my content when I need it, I find that it’s important to design a good set of tags and actively apply them. Howm is more designed around making it as hassle-free as possible to input notes, and then let the notes surface in a “self-organizing” way. For instance, it’s easy to discover “sibling notes” that link to the same thing as this one (just click any link in the current note and all siblings pop up in a search buffer, below the note that you’re actually linking to).

Or you can use “comefrom links”, where you in some other file type “<<< foo bar”, and every time you mention “foo bar” in another note it becomes a magic link back to this spot. That serves kinda the same need as tags, but you don’t have to explicitly tag future notes or think about a system of tags, you just wrote normally and automatically get relevant links when you use consistent language. As a user, I feel this is much simpler to use, even though you’re right that Denote itself is implemented in a simple way.

Regarding the GTD system, I’ve also just ignored it ;). If I want a digital GTD I have had a great experience using Org, but these days I prefer a physical bullet journal as it seems to help me ignore unimportant tasks (I’ve always struggled with deleting unimportant tasks - not for technical reasons but for irrational reasons). And since it’s always in front of me on the desk, it’s harder to ignore than the agenda buffer.
Thanks so much for sharing that. It sounds familiar.

But unit size does have other considerations outside the project size. For example provisioning capacity for maintenance downtime. Too big units make it quite hard to get enough capacity for the grid to stay up while maintaining hard.

For example OL3 in Finland has to limit its max power because if it trips, the grid needs to shed enough load to stay up: (in finnish) https://www.fingrid.fi/kantaverkko/sahkonsiirto/olkiluoto-3-...

That doesn’t change the fact that every month there are people putting money into that fund and people getting money out of that fund. The money you put in, is not the same money you get out of it. It’s still money that people working at that time, put into that fund. Nobody has their own personal savings account inside that fund. You only have a legal claim to a share of that fund once you retire, but that’s not the money from your paychecks and it’s not saved somewhere for you. A pension fund is not a collection of private pensions and it’s better that way. Because with inflation, your pension can increase, even though you didn’t "put in" that amount of money when you were still working. The government is able to increase pensions by shifting money from other parts of its balance sheet or by increasing debts or taxes to meet the pension demand. I’m sorry for Singapore if their state system works more like a private pension, because you don’t know how long you’ll live past retirement age, so you either take too much or too little out of that fund once you have retired and there is no adjustment for inflation. Yes, there are bad private pension systems. That doesn’t change the fact that you benefit more working in a worker-owned compay than in a solely-owned company.

Adding Varnish makes it more than just a web server for static files, it also caches content created by the web server. This can be very useful for things like on-the-fly image resizing, which some blogs seem to do (requesting paths like /images/image.jpg/100x40/... based on the reader's device size).

Still not really a CDN, though.
Great effort!

I'm a fan of the NYT Mini, too. The art of that puzzle, I think, is in the clues, which are usually not straight synonyms or dictionary-type definitions. Some examples from recent puzzles:

Name tag heading: HELLO

Word shouted during a defibrillator scene in a hospital drama: CLEAR

Kind of orange with a "belly button": NAVEL

"I'm not a ____" (online affirmation next to a checkbox): ROBOT

What breweries might creatively repurpose as seats: KEGS

I haven’t tried [1], but it might be hard to get an LLM to produce such clues consistently. I’m not sure how well I would do at it myself.

Another feature of the NYT Mini is that the creators seem to limit the number of pop-culture facts to at most one per puzzle. I’m bad at names of actors, cartoon characters, pop stars, etc., but I’m usually able to solve the puzzles even when they have clues and answers like

Ogre who asks "What are you doing in my swamp?!": SHREK

because I can get the answers in the other direction.

[1] A few minutes later: I did try. I gave Claude 3.5 Sonnet the above clues and answers as examples and asked it to produce clues for today’s NYT Mini answers. Here are the results:

Not as clever as the NYT’s clues, but not terrible, either.
A person in the US founding a startup has access and exposure to the deepest capital markets in the world, the largest domestic market in the world, a stable legal and political environment, and a phenomenal talent pool. A person doing the same in e.g. Vietnam has access to almost 0 VC funding, tiny domestic market, his efforts are hindered by a capricious and restrictive legal and political environment and a very low skilled talent pool. Someone with the same competency as say Bill Gates has an infinitely lower chance of making it big.

People do not risk their lives and leave their families behind because they really love going to Cheesecake Factory everday in the US, it's because opportunities often flat out do not exist in their country for what they want to do.

Hello! Author of the article here. Thanks for the comments, and appreciate the discusssion. I'll start off by pointing out that I'm not left wing, and I have an economics degree so my old lecturers would be disappointed if I was still described as 'economically ignorant.' And I completely agree that PE isn't perfect and I completely agree that PE isn't a bogeyman of any sort. Like any kind of business, I'm sure there are good PE firms and not-so-good PE firms, and firms at every point along that spectrum.

I don't intend to at all imply that Center Parcs would be better off as a public company, or in the hands of a private individual. I'm pointing out that the surface level commentary of "bloody hell Center Parcs is expensive" is misleading, and the reality is much more nuanced than that, hence the need for a deep dive into the financials. Points I make in the article:

1) Center Parcs makes great gross margins on accommodation and food & drink, and EBITDA looks great, but that's a misleading way to look at the business precisely because it's capital-intensive, and the owners -- whether PE, public, or a private individual -- have to continue to reinvest maintenance or growth capex to keep it that way. And that requires either cash or debt, there's no way around that.

2) I contrasted it with a couple of capital-light businesses to show the difference in P&L and balance sheet dynamics, precisely because people often misunderstand capital intensity and the impacts on the business model.

3) I gave a restated measure of profitability (EBDAT), and show the normalised free cash flow which show that Center Parcs is a fairly normal performing business with decent but unspectactular returns. It's definitely not the case that the PE owners are simply pricing things high and raking in the cash.

4) I showed that the expected valuation of £4.5-5bn might be difficult to achieve at a time of rising interest rates, because both capital intense businesses and large PE deals require lots of debt. I make no value judgment on the use of debt -- debt is a tool to use in any business, and just like a surgeon's scalpel, it can be used for good or for harm.

Again, this is much more nuanced than 'PE bad, high prices bad' which is the surface-level analysis that I'm poking fun at in the title and in the piece.
I think the whole idea of extra instructions required for LLMs is unnecessary. A decent LLM should be able to handle browsing the site, if needed it can use the sitemap. It can hopefully also figure out what the various sections are about.

You are really wanting this to only be about code quality, whatever that means, and not product quality, which is something that can be measured from outside the organization by people with no understanding of your skills. I can repeat all day that it’s not about what you or other developers want but I somehow suspect you will circle back to code quality and goodness because those are important to you. That is why I claimed the prior comment misses the point. The complete inability for developers to accept, on any level, that it’s not about what they want, I believe, is why non developers stereotype developers as autistic. They aren’t wrong.

The RIEC isn't just charged with finding evidence to prosecute people. It's also charge with doing "interventions", which are really broadly defined as actions carried out by a group (It's partners, police, council, tax department, mental heath organisation and more) to achieve a certain result. The means by which is left entirely to them.

There are some broad rules, like a cilian cannot be used for obsessive observation for more than a year, without a contract and they are not allowed to commit any crimes. But they harrassed me and my family for more than 10 years (Because I complained and thus in their eyes I deserved it). They don't give a shit about the laws, these are thus just for theater. Every single organisation I approached would not help and not journalist responded. No willingness to print the story.

> Sub-second Latency

> Broadcast Box uses WebRTC for broadcast and playback. By using WebRTC instead of RTMP and HLS you get the fastest experience possible.

Nothing in RTMP prevents you from achieving low latency; it's the software stack around it that determines latency for both RTMP and WebRTC. Only HLS does have some built-in deficiencies that cause extra latency.
Try the following

- port something you know well into a different language

- your own react implementation
- your own npm/yarn implementation
- a free code minifier/formatter or a pastebin

Whether you do image resizing (or other CPU-bound tasks) ahead-of-time or just-in-time is an extremely important design decision, that needs to consider the needs of the application, available hardware resources, traffic patterns, etc - you shouldn't leave it to what is essentially random chance (maybe it's in the cache, maybe it isn't) without considering all of the above - unless you have a low-traffic blog that can get away with anything.

The main issue with LLM powered learning is you need to have at least a surface level understanding of the topic to recognise if the output is wrong.

That requires some basic knowledge, a specific mental model for interacting with LLM’s, and a modicum of good taste in code to be able to correct for the code smells that LLM’s fall victim to.

You can never let the LLM take the wheel, you need to be the driver knowing what you want. This works if for example you know how to something in language x but need it in language Y, but it doesn’t work if you have never been able to solve the problem before.

For something like leetcode however which is far from novel, there are that many correct answers in the training data that the risk is low.
Are you seriously willing to volunteer, or is this expecting that others step up where you’d fail?

No US prisoner is forced to work in any meaningful sense of the word "forced". They can just not work, they won't get beaten for it, they won't get killed for it. In some states, they are required to work. It's not the same as being forced to work. Being a criminal does not entitled them to free room and board on the taxpayer dime, in fact in a just world, society would be entitled to restitution from the criminal.

There is no better time and place to be a criminal in the US than today. Criminals are being coddled, which is why most Democrat cities are so crime-ridden.

> My advice: find the best paying SWE job you can find.
> At the same time minimize your expense.

Some people frame this as first accumulating savings, then quitting the job & depleting those savings to buy time while taking a holiday / switching to a new career. That's valid, but it glosses over that you can put your savings to work to generate income.

Another perspective is the FIRE (financial independence / retire early) angle, where you accumulate savings and invest them, then when you pass the point where your passive income from investment returns exceeds your living expenses, you achieve "escape velocity" and no longer need to perform income-generating work. indefinitely. You need to accumulate investments worth roughly 25x your annual expenses to hit this point (assuming a 4% return on investment, net of inflation).

One way to do this is to achieve an after-tax savings rate of 75% for about 8 years. Suppose after tax, for each $100 you earn, you consume at most $25 of it on annual living expenses, and invest the remaining $75 surplus in the stock market. If you can repeat this for 8 years, and you've been holding your annual living expenses to a sustainable level (not artificially low) then there's a very good chance you'll be financially independent and the "long period of rest" can be indefinite.

A simple tool to visualise this and help build intuition around the relationship between savings rate and years to financial independence is https://networthify.com/calculator/earlyretirement
