TooSmugToFail··on Obsidian: Understanding its Core Design Principles (2022)
Obsidian is one of a very few pieces of software I feel very passionate about. The devs are incredibly dedicated, and the community is awesome.

Amazing product.

Fair enough. Went over my head. :)
TooSmugToFail··on Moscow's Stray Dogs (2016)
Correction: the article was actually published in 2010. Apologies.
TooSmugToFail··on Lagrange points could become battlegrounds in a new space race
How precisely you need to ‘park’ on a Lagrange point?

There’s obviously a singular, ideal Lagrange point, but I would assume there’s something like a practically viable sphere around it where you would benefit from the advantages.

Given the vast distances, I would assume that this viable sphere is sufficiently large to accommodate more than enough man-made space infrastructure.

TooSmugToFail··on Cut rounded corners into your travel documents and medicine blister packs
Corner cutter tool is a cool thing, but doing it to save weight? I re-read the post to find traces of irony, but I failed.
TooSmugToFail··on Technical Overview of AV1 Spec
Are there any FPGA implementations of the AV1 codec, and if so, how do the resource requirements compare to HEVC?

I hope to find some time in the future to do it myself.

Could you please link that TOF array?
TooSmugToFail··on Ask HN: How do you handle underperforming remotes at your company?
Assuming you have objective performance metrics, and consistent criteria, the appropriate course of action would be to warn them, re-evaluate after a trial period, and fire if nothing changes.
TooSmugToFail··on Show HN: Investment Tracker
Looks sleek. Looking forward to giving it a spin.
TooSmugToFail··on Does anyone have a spare lobste.rs invite?
I don’t know anything about Lobste.rs except what I read in this thread: from what I’ve read in one of the comments it sounds like it’s an online community with a membership approval process designed to appear selective in order to project an elite image. The fact that you’d come to HN to ask for an invite to such a community, and get it in the third comment tells you just how awesome HN community actually is.
TooSmugToFail··on Europe's problem? It's too attractive
What would be those interests, an why?
TooSmugToFail··on Trackless trams could help revitalize city suburbs
Well, the argument that article provides relating to advantages over buses is compelling at the fave value: “Until recently, the options for this mid-range transportation (we call it 'mid-tier transit') were limited to light rail, which is very expensive, and bus rapid transit, which is rarely electrified and is often stuck in traffic. The mid-tier transit we need is trackless tram technology: less costly than light rail, faster and sleeker than buses, carbon-neutral and flexible. Installing trackless trams in the middle suburbs can improve access to public transport, reduce emissions, increase land value and encourage more people to move to these areas. “

I’d imagine it’s easier to automate it too…

Is Musk going to fund his legal bill, sue, and be extremely loud, or this does not apply to his shareholders?
TooSmugToFail··on Quantum entanglement of photons captured in real-time
Yeah, I was excited too, but apparently it turns out the yin-yang is not a natural shape, but contrived. Can’t remember the source for this, but I’m sure it can be found.

Wait. So bank employees cannot use IM of any kind? Or they need a special kind of IM with audit log style integrity safeguarding mechanisms?
