Are you just... never using them? I've owned 3DS and DS's and the screens just absolutely get scratched to all hell through use. Every one of them. It's not like it makes the screen unusable, but it's certainly visible. And it's inevitable; you're using a plastic stylus to press on ... plastic.

There was an edit. The topic reads much differently now.
Hey, thanks for sharing! I used it before and it is indeed useful for that kind of use case.

Like you said, there seems to be a gap between people who can use Comfy as a development tool and workflows' target users. The idea is to develop a set of tools to help bridge that gap.
Of course, all of this pales next to the invention of the actual human brain, which was not driven by humans or AI.

> I think this shows in their product.

I really don't. Notion is one of those tools that entrepreneurs gravitate towards for it's simplicity, and then engineers rip out for being a parasite. At the end of the day it's an overpriced CMS that can very easily be replaced by any number of different alternatives. Their "taste" is just as overrated and overpriced as Apple's is.
Hey, I wrote about this once! I use it a ton. Thanks for your work. I can’t wait to dig into 1.0.
> Kinda is, and it’s all Elon’s fault.

Not sure what you mean by that. Are you suggesting that Elon/SpaceX sabotaged Boeing Starliner program? Because it seems pretty obvious that Boeing did that all on their own.

I've often thought that, looking historically, Notion only exists because product innovation in Google Docs is decoupled from revenue growth for Google Workspace. Putting a draggable handle, at the user's election, alongside every paragraph in Docs, and adding a customizable shortcut for search across docs, would go a long way towards Docs being 90% of what Notion's value proposition was as of a few years ago. But most startups using Notion already had Google Workspace for email anyways, so there was no growth story there for Google to invest in this mandate.

Now, Notion's done a lot since then. If you want a knowledge base that can also have semi-structured tabular data, and portability in that data, it's hard to beat. Notion AI, pulling from disparate sources with the context of the current planning document, is really neat, too! But not every company will want to pay the per-head cost for this, unless it can replace other existing tools.

And when it comes to spaces like CRM in that context, looking at https://www.google.com/search?q=notion+crm&udm=14 ... there's a lot that could be said about Notion's (lack of) SEO/advertising there, but more concretely, a CRM solution nowadays has to bring a wealth of integrations as a near-prerequisite, and Notion doesn't have a mature story there - nor can they easily, because different customers will have different data models that make it hard to have a standardized notion of "what fields can I count on to be present for an Account."

Notion is a really powerful system. If it didn't already have a $10B valuation, it would be in tremendously good shape. But it has a long way to go to find the areas of growth it needs to grow beyond $10B.
we will keep you posted, thanks for the comment
Sadly, I can understand why Discord doesn't have a lot of incentive to do this. Maybe the community should popularize an open-source free/low-costing bot and hosting solution for exported chat? (I couldn't find one in a few minutes of searching).
I remember rolling my eyes at Technopoly a lot more than I did at Amusing Ourselves, but actually...I read Technopoly maybe 15 years ago, when the Internet had a lot more promise and less downside. Maybe if I read it now it would seem a lot more correct.

Amusing Ourselves, on the other hand, was brilliant when I first read it, but now we seem to be living in a world that is both Orwell and Huxley. The free market provides endless pap, AND governments/political figures have learned to use new media to provide endless misinformation designed to keep us fearful. So maybe if I read it today it would not seem as relevant.

I have stared into the abyss and seen the eyes of cthulu. I am much happier writing embedded drivers than I was trying to make sense of why previous devs thought it was a good idea to move bounded tunable server side api calls to the client, allowing it to effectively write arbitrary sql calls across multiple databases.
Thanks for the Anytype rec. I have similarly been looking for a good alternative since they turned on AI features you can’t easily opt out of. And I’m not some anti-LLM zealot — I use them every day.

I’m not even worried about them training on user data. The more immediate problem is that if you accidentally type something in the Ask AI box (which is very easy to do because it looks like search), the page you’re on and god know what else is sent to god knows where. When I use LLMs, I like to know which one I’m using and exactly what I’m sending them.

I felt their AI integration was very cavalier and it completely changed my opinion of them as a company. On top of that, the YouTube and Tik Tok productivity grifters thrive on the ecosystem of template BS that Notion seems very happy to encourage. I guess they can’t help it but it is not my vibe. I also want something more stripped down and programmable. Obviously a programmer is not a typical consumer.
Honestly, it's not hard. Just buy a pair of wider toe box shoes, nothing too extreme or minimalist, and start wearing them for normal everyday tasks like going to the grocery store, then build from there. I recommend Lems (I like the Primal Zen) or Altras (I like the Lone Peak style).

After a little while you'll have more foot strength and can start working out in them and/or transition to wearing barefoot shoes 100% of the time. It takes some time to build the foot strength so I wouldn't go too minimalist to start.
Thanks for the very comprehensive reply!

For snapping, I was missing being able to drag the side of an object (not on a corner or midpoint) and have it snap to any parallel line it encounters. You're right that using a corner or midpoint does work very well, but you just have to be more conscious about the action you're making.

For the point about a boolean operation, I was only thinking that if I drag one object on top of another, it would be a timesaver to have icons quickly pop up as a shortcut to the different boolean operations. But probably not a big gain.

RE: the subscription, agree that unlocking projects, downloads, and maybe folders might suit people that are mostly into designing things for themselves. Also, have you considered allowing read-only access to the pro templates within the editor? There are a few that I have no interest in making, but I'd like to learn the more advanced techniques of Cuttle by viewing.

Lastly, one other suggestion; you may already to thinking of this, but given the proliferation of selling 3D/CNC designs online (e.g. Printables, Etsy) have you thought about allowing creators to sell their designs directly from your site?

> Is the situation normal, or common?

They went up on an experimental spacecraft on its shakedown cruise. They’re coming down on a different spacecraft than planned — a different make of spacecraft, even. That’s never happened before, and is neither normal nor common. The spacecraft type they flew up will almost certainly never fly again because of how badly the shakedown went. That’s never happened before to a manned design to my knowledge — certainly not normal or common.
Frankly I don't see the point of complaining that libc is not useful for non-C consumers. Sure, there are some ancillary functions in libc you'll likely never call. But what's the issue with making syscalls through libc? Again, the only difference is what the very last call instruction is. If your runtime can marshal arguments for the kernel, then it surely can marshal arguments for libc. They are almost always practically the same ABI.

And you can avoid the need for VDSO-like hacks which is basically the kernel exposing a mini-libc to userspace.
I get that; I am surprised to find my own software running 7 years later, let alone ~60 and given the context.
Simply changing `ROOT` doesn't magically enable us to have `emerge` update our normal `ROOT=/`. There's extra steps here (the syncing, the bind mounting, etc) for the `emerge` with a custom `ROOT` to do an update to `/` itself.

And that's if we have a `ROOT` that allows us to source dependencies (libraries to link against, includes, etc). Currently it's unclear to me how exactly `ROOT` works, probably meaning there needs to be a bit more documentation there and potentially indicating that it might not be used much right now.

That makes sense. It sounds like the good parts of TikTok are getting little slices of life from interesting people, and of course, jokes and entertaining stuff, and the misaligned parts are accounts that purport to be "informational" about news or politics. TikTok is probably just as bad a source for that as TV is.

I happen to stumble upon [this Engineering Salary Formula][1], and I am not sure if it is good or bad. What do you think about this?

Here is gist what I could make:

1. If you took 4 performance reviews, and gets promoted in last review, you compensation formulates to be - New Base + Last 3 Raises (Meets Expectation) + 1 New Raise (Exceeds Expectation)
2. If you are doing just fine and get meets expectation, you only effectively get 3.6% increment yearly (using the $180,000 example)
3. I still cannot see how people get compensated for their long tenure.

Adobe renders fonts much better on a 4k monitor. Way more expensive but way better rendering fonts.
I've never heard of such a thing. Businesses maybe and not residential? Businesses getting a carve-out for their network would be pretty standard.

Interesting though, I'll ask around.

Nahhhh that's not how that works at all. Real users are now not getting security updates or features that they had expected before they invested in the WP ecosystem. There's literally no way for a user to pay for API access. Instead, the onus is on the company they're paying for servers from to pay tens of millions of dollars (with no rhyme or reason for that amount). There's no passive "well we never guaranteed this!" from WordPress, they're actively going out of their way to break installations.

This wasn't an issue of "it's abusive traffic"—and how could it be, being the code that Automattic wrote!—it's an issue of Matt Mullenweg throwing a temper tantrum and turning unsuspecting WordPress users into collateral damage. There's no way to operate these features without WordPress infrastructure (you might even argue that it's not feasible, as it's never been done before by someone other than Automattic!). WordPress isn't just "not providing updates", they're actively blocking these users for purely political reasons. The users have been turned into cannon fodder.
Notion was clearly made by people who do not use or understand keyboard shortcuts; you can't even properly select text without using the mouse.

It's been somewhat maddening switching from Confluence.
I started as an Obsidian user, and generally I like the fact that it's just Markdown, but markdown tables really suck, to the point that I simply ended up avoiding them at all costs, and I used OnlyOffice's Excel equivalent in parallel to Obsidian for a while.

But Notion has good tables by default, so I can have both good tables (and tableviews) and normal text files in the same app.

I could have tried Obsidian plugins, but I suspect that it would have been a time sink, and Notion offered everything in a neat package, so in the end, it won.
And I got two replies recorded after making an edit to expand on my question.

Notions kinda funny. It has this stickiness among a college aged, tech savvy demographic that’s not generating any revenue for them but has garnered a massive valuation relative to their revenue.

They want business from me, a tech savvy technical leader in an enterprise who mostly doesn’t care about what they offer. I want all my docs to live in Git, the way it does in Google’s g3doc.

We use Notion and, while it seems better than Confluence, I’ve never actually authored a single thing in it. It has no overlap with my goals. The world should be accessible from my IDE, and if I were them that’s where I’d really focus: a bi-directional sync and a first class VS Code plugin for whatever their file format looks like.

I’ve gotten out of the habit but I could definitely see how in a set of dependent code reviews one might want to be able to update a sequence of statuses in a matter of minutes to land a bunch of changes back to back to back, plowing through using a CLI or keyboard shortcuts.
How am I supposed to code if I can't listen to John Summit??
To check my understanding: say your current position is "unemployed." You would think that the expectation for you is to "get a job", but to get a job is extremely difficult. You have to navigate an almost adversarial job market and recruiting process, often for months. It's essentially a massive negative incentive, considering all of the effort and grief involved. So, the incentives aren't aligned with the desired outcome; the skittishness of each individual hiring company to make sure that they don't get screwed by a bad hire has warped the entire dynamic. Is this a good example?
Yes. Not all H5N1 is created equal, but several strains have shown a frighteningly high severity.

The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones. When people cheat in any arena, they diminish themselves-they threaten their own self-esteem and their relationships with others by undermining the trust they have in their ability to succeed and in their ability to be true. Cheating is the most disrespectful thing one human being can do to another. If you aren’t happy in a relationship, end it before starting another one. respect a person who is loyal in a relationship, by cheating on him or her. If you succeed in cheating on someone, don’t think that the person is a fool, realize that the person trusted you much more than you deserve. If you notice any suspicious act on your partner if he or she is cheating.

No, I definitely use tmux for that stuff instead of whatever my terminal app has built-in - but usually I only have a single iTerm2 terminal open for my local tmux session, and any new windows or tabs are either meant for remoting into other servers, or are quickie one-offs that I explicitly don't want to connect to my "main" tmux session.

So when I hit CMD-T or CMD-N on my local machine, I don't _want_ to be connected to my tmux session, since I'd just have to hit `D every time to disconnect, and then run "ssh elsewhere" and connect to tmux there.
Besides being written in Rust, the big difference is the decentralized approach. With iceoryx1 a central daemon is required but with iceoryx2 this in not the case anymore. Furthermore, more fine grained control over the resources like memory and endpoints like publisher. Overall the architecture is more modular and it should be easier to port iceoryx2 to even more platforms and customize it with 3rd party extension.

With this release we have initial support for C and C++. Not all features of the Rust version are supported yet, but the plan is to finish the bindings with the next release. Furthermore, with an upcoming release we will make it trivial to communicate between Rust, C and C++ applications and all the other language bindings we are going to provide, with Python being probably the next one.
No, what rini17 pointed out is a problem here, and I think my previous comments that setting ROOT might be "part of a solution" are less accurate (as it seems `ROOT` is even less of a complete solution here).

Lets consider this hypothetical representation of the 64-bit time issue:

In `ROOT=/`, we have a `libA.so` with 32-bit time_t, and a `libB.so` with 32-bit time_t that depends on `libA` (ie: `libB.so` -> `libA.so`).

We rebuild package `A` with a special root (`ROOT=/tmp/new`) which has 64-bit time_t. We now have a `/tmp/new` with `libA.so` built for 64-bit time_t. We now want to build `B` for `ROOT=/tmp/new` with 64-bit time_t and have it link against the new `/tmp/new/lib/libA.so`.

But setting `ROOT=/tmp/new` doesn't cause us to use the `/tmp/new` to as our source to link against things. So (as it currently stands) we'll end up trying to link `libB.so` (64-bit time_t) against `/lib/libA.so` (32-bit time_t), and things just won't work.

If gentoo changes/extends ROOT (or adds something else like ROOT but used to locate dependencies for linking), then it could be a piece of a solution. But it sounds like it's pretty far from that in intention/practice right now.

I'm very curious how and why to use Obsidian well. It's so confusing I've given up multiple times.
I think that's exactly right.

When I began studying jazz drumming I was working from a DVD by John Riley. At one point he makes this statement about what it means to be 'gifted' at drumming (but it applies to anything).

He says the 'gift' is less about a physical attribute, and more about a disposition or temperament. I.e., you're so passionate about something that you're willing to spend countless hours, days, years learning to do something you can't do, simply because you find that process the most enjoyable.

I appreciated that perspective so much I snipped it.

I just migrated everything out of Notion into Ibsidian. Notion was unusable after more than a few hundred items in a DB. I migrated to using dataview and lists in Obsidian and haven't had a problem since. And it works offline.

I use it for my workout logbook and cooking/recipe log with hundreds of entries.
Looks like it has significantly lower latency.

> want to stick to C++ if possible

The answer to that concern is in the title of the submission.
In general you’re correct. But this is a political matter. Putting intellectual principles above common sense is just naive.

That's not usually the issue. Glibc is used by 90% of main distros, notable exception is alpine used in docker images.

The problem is Linux ecosystem's fixation on "build environment = runtime environment" idea, making it incredibly difficult to build against older versions of glibc (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04) if you're using something new such as latest Arch. This is not a problem on macOS, you can use an SDK for a particular OS version on any other recent version.
Yeah, I would guess that a spoofed signal wouldn't be that hard to detect - though you'd presumably need the GPS receiver to be capable of this. A spoofed signal would have to be stronger than the real thing in order to drown it out, no? So as a first guess - if a signal is unreasonably strong, the signal is probably spoofed, so warn the operator.

For a given size, they are aero optimized. While a Honda Fit is more efficient than an Suburban for almost all people in almost all driving situations, few people want to buy a Fit relative to bigger SUVs. The car companies can only sell what people will buy, while also having meet the CAFE (or similar regs in other countries). While some people love to bag on car companies for building trucks and SUVs, they only do that because a huge segment of the culture has decided those are the desirable vehicles to have. If that wasn't true, the F150 would be as popular as a Blackberry. Given that market constraint, the car companies have to optimize the fuel mileage on the oversized vehicles.
