Well if you're trying to sell me "compatibility" you've got to do better than that. As I said in another thread, TrunkVer is not even guaranteeing a proper order for package versions, much less anything about the relationship between them. Your sales pitch is like trying to sell a USB 1.1 cable to someone who only has USB 4 devices or something. Can it fit? Maybe if you try hard enough. Will it do what you need? Nope.
Why is it a problem? It's not like people are somehow special. We eat and shit like every other mammal but without us the water and land would not be full of synthetic chemicals and plastics. Seems very obvious to me that human industries change the baseline to a polluted state vs what it would have been without industrial activities. But even without industrial activity the historical record is very clear on the effect that human populations have on the surrounding flora and fauna.

Show HN: Mindapp – open-source thought organizer
Hi HN, I built my own note taking app that I've been using for several months at this point.

Before I used Apple Notes, but the search became really slow after adding too many notes. Then I used VSCode with Markdown and that worked for a couple years, but there was no streamlined way to share notes and I realized often times I would have a note that could be categorized under multiple files.

To solve this I made Mindapp. It has a tagging system that allows tags to be subsets of other tags so for example the "San Francisco" tag is a subset of the "Bay Area" and "City" tags - both of which branch out into their own subtags. It also has different spaces that you can store notes in so they can be public or private. Another cool feature is it uses public/private keys to publish under different personas and verify posts.

A demo of how I use it can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7263871...

and the source code at https://github.com/mileung/mindapp

I made it for my own needs first but I think it would be cool if I had other users. The main problem is in order to get all the features, the setup process requires the command line and I don't have the bandwidth to streamline that process atm.

Lastly, if you'd like to see more improvements to Mindapp, I submitted it to a hackathon and would appreciate it if you voted for it at https://hack.solidjs.com/submissions

Let me know if you have any questions!

I suspect that OP is describing the official IO Board which is a lot bigger than a credit card.

There are carriers that are smaller than a credit card such as the Ether Board and Wavlink BiCool mini board.
I don’t find that to be all that impressive.

I’m immediately saving money with the server I built out of mostly used parts and threw in my closet compared to VPS solutions.

The only reason it’s near 100% utilization is because $5 VPS instances have barely any computing power assigned to them.

For the same price as one game server I’m running something like 5-8 VMs at once. I can utilize 128GB of RAM and 6/12 real CPU cores (Ryzen 3600).
It's now more expensive for bandwidth than Digital Ocean, completely destroying what was its value proposition previously.
I mean, other countries would kill to preserve such long-lasting heritage, especially one that's in active use and very much a part of the city.

But the English of late are exceptionally good at bending over and showing their rear-ends to new foreign overlords for paltry sums of coin.
Yeah, I had to look closely as well to figure out what this was saying. The core reasoning seems to be this one sentence: "Printed books are a zone of resistance against the neon god of the algorithm since tinkering with code can’t delete their contents, as hackers recently did with the Internet Archive."

But you don't have to retreat from software entirely. You can read offline to keep someone over the network from tampering with contents. You can advocate for and obtain DRM-free experiences so tampering is easier to spot. You can make many copies of the bits for yourself, leaning into one of software's great strengths. So I think there are many ways to resist the "neon god" here. But we do each of us have to think for ourselves about the consequences of our choices.

I recently just started using psst which is a Spotify GUI that's much lighter. When you right click a song and go to show similar tracks u get an array of sliders corresponding to the audio analysis/features like valence, danceability, energy, etc to tweak the recommendations.

It made a light and day difference for music discoverability for me, while the default spotify radio keeps giving me songs i skip instantly multiple times along with songs I've listened to a hundred times, doing this through the API, is 100x better. I've discovered 30 new songs that I love this past week while that number has been steadily dwindling for the past 6 months using Spotify.

Of course it does.

I don't have any reason to leave my taps open all the time, and my water is metered so I would pay for such profligacy in money I could put to some useful purpose.

But I can certainly do it without creating any meaningful environmental stress. This would just briefly divert it from its destiny in the Atlantic.

I remember Jitsi being awesome, but as far as I can remember, you need to have a Jitsi server running, right? I wanted it to be as independent as possible of servers or orgs, so that when I get rolled over by a bus and stop paying for services, it still continues to work for everyone.

This isn't the type of market you pop down to and buy your weekly shop, this is wholesale. It's largely where restaurants will go to to buy their meat for the day/week. Smithfields opens at midnight and closes at 7am. You can walk past at mid-day and it's just a fairly run-down part of london in the middle of other much nicer parts of London. This is nothing to do with walkable cities.
I mean, that brute-forceability was a reason for the newer v3 addresses; the v2 ones just weren't long enough.

They did the first 8 characters of the v3.
Our horror to the capitalist economic calculus of this world does absolutly nothing to make the world less ruthlessly capitalistic. In fact, we've seen that all attempts to overthrow capitalism (i.e. communism or SJW liberal wokism) have done nothing but entrench and strengthen capitalism and indeed, strengthen its uniquely worst parts of it.

You should look into Mark Fischer as an example of someone who tried to see just how evil it is in its full glory. Look at what happened to him afterwards. That's what happens when you think about it too much.

I think if everyone in the country could easily afford a 5 bedroom house on one person's salary, and they deeply felt like their kids would grow up safe and healthy environment, we'd have a population explosion. The decline is caused by a population that cannot afford enough and is constantly panicked over global events. Everyone is presented with terror of doom constantly, and squeezed by a major shift of resources from labor to capital holders. The rich get richer, everyone else gets poorer.

A family of rabbits without enough quiet, food, shelter, etc will have hardly any babies. The mother will also eat any babies.

Do you think that's a response to what I said?

From Weavers, Scribes, and Kings:

> "Shearing" is actually a misnomer. The Akkadian term was "plucking." Before the end of the Bronze Age, domestic sheep did not continuously grow wool, and the wool could be combed or plucked when their coats shed in the spring.

Why would you think modern sheep make a relevant comparison point after I explicitly point out that they don't?

Can't you just concat a random number to their hash at the time of hashing? Like userId-1 to userId-100. Doesn't matter what hashing algorithm you use then. Then just divide the number by the number of buckets. < 49 goes to A, > 49 goes to B. The larger number just means you can split them into more buckets later if needed.

The idea with market driven progress is that products and services that meet demands will by competition for consumer money win out. One problem here is the lack of clear metrics or authorities for comparing performance and security. Another problem is that consumers tend to prefer extremely cheap solutions even if they do not work well. None of this necessarily blocks good solutions. It is important to acknowledge just how relatively young the market for consumer network storage peripherals is.

> What does the developer's experience with incremental parsing feel like?

It's essentially the experience most of us already have when using Visual Studio, IntelliJ, or any modern IDE on a daily basis.

The term "incremental parsing" might be a bit misleading. A more accurate (though wordier) term would be a "stateful parser capable of reparsing the text in parts". The core idea is that you can write text seamlessly while the editor dynamically updates local fragments of its internal representation (usually a syntax tree) in real time around the characters you're typing.

An incremental parser is one of the key components that enable modern code editors to stay responsive. It allows the editor to keep its internal syntax tree synchronized with the user's edits without needing to reparse the entire project on every keystroke. This stateful approach contrasts with stateless compilers that reparse the entire project from scratch.

This continuous (or incremental) patching of the syntax tree is what enables modern IDEs to provide features like real-time code completion, semantic highlighting, and error detection. Essentially, while you focus on writing code, the editor is constantly maintaining and updating a structural representation of your program behind the scenes.

The article's author suggests an alternative idea: instead of reparsing the syntax tree incrementally, the programmer would directly edit the syntax tree itself. In other words, you would be working with the program's structure rather than its raw textual representation.

This approach could simplify the development of code editors. The editor would primarily need to offer a GUI for tree structure editing, which might still appear as flat text for usability but would fundamentally involve structural interactions.

Whether this approach improves the end-user experience is hard to say. It feels akin to graphical programming languages, which already have a niche (e.g., visual scripting in game engines). However, the challenge lies in the interface.

The input device (keyboard) designed for natural text input and have limitations when it comes to efficiently interacting with structural data. In theory, these hurdles could be overcome with time, but for now, the bottleneck is mostly a question of UI/UX design. And as of today, we lack a clear, efficient approach to tackle this problem.

From the City of London wiki:

In December 2012, following criticism that it was insufficiently transparent about its finances, the City of London Corporation revealed that its "City's Cash" account – an endowment fund built up over the past 800 years that it says is used "for the benefit of London as a whole"[51] – holds more than £1.3bn. As of March 2016, it had net assets of £2.3bn.[52] The fund collects money made from the corporation's property and investment earnings.[53]
This one is crazy. I made up a silly topology problem which I guessed wouldn't be in a textbook (given X create a shape with Euler characteristic X) and set it to work. Its first effort was a program that randomly generated shapes, calculated X and hoped it was right. I went and figured out a solution and gave it a clue.

Watching it "think" through the answer is surreal and something I haven't felt since watching GPT-2 write punchlines for jokes.

Here's the lightbulb moment it "realizes" what the clue meant:

> For example, if you have a covering space of degree n, then the Euler characteristic of the covering space is n times the Euler characteristic of the base space.

> But I'm not sure how that relates here.

> Alternatively, perhaps it's about considering the Euler characteristic of a quotient space.

> But again, that might be too advanced for this problem.

> Maybe I'm overcomplicating things.

> Let me go back to the beginning.

> The problem says: "Consider the Euler characteristic of the tetrahemihexahedron and of a genus g torus. Then consider the additive property of the Euler characteristic. Then try again."

> So, perhaps it's simply about adding their Euler characteristics together.

I'm under no illusions about how LLMs are built and operate, but this really feels somehow more "real" and person-y than previous generations, even when you coax them into an answer.

I'm going to go and try having GPT-4o roleplay a student solving the problem and see if it's genuinely different. I've been getting impressive answers from o1, but just coldly getting the result is much more robot than human.
