I'd point out that OP posted a link to a science fiction site

This should be the 'New Deal' of the 21st century.

I too am feeling somewhat optimistic about this direction in technology, and for approximately similar reasons, though I don't think I feel so strongly about it as to craft a blog post on the topic.

Screw paywall journalism.

LET ME JUST SAY, a pox on these things that depend on VSCode. I don't use VSCode, I never have, and I don't anticipate doing so any time soon for coding, much less taking notes.

EDIT:

I did not say a pox on such applications; on the contrary. I'm actually trying to find one that does everything I want, and am being brought up short on the VSCode dependency just about every time I come up on a good candidate.

The right to say what you will is absolute, and protected from the federal government by the first amendment.

However, nothing protects you from the consequences of harmful speech, and those consequences do not approximate a violation of your rights.

Search is shit because of advertising influence on algorythm design and tuning.

...for Linus anyway heh.

Malpractice insurance and touchy premiums, fuck up, and you can't afford to be a cop and a dept can't afford to hire you.

Don't underestimate the usefulness of basic instrumentation with print statements; it's just a simple (simplest?) form of logging.

I'd love to use pycharm, but my current project involves about 85% work on a raspi 4 and while it is quite impressive in many respects, it's just a little less than what pycharm requires in terms of resources.

This is wicked af, thank you so much!

There is no constitutional edge or corner case. The language, for once, is unambiguous.

Their advertisers are not operating from the office of the chief executive of one of the largest and most successful of nations.

Thank you.

Can you say 'Dumbass'? I knew ya could :D

Pretty much everything. Godot is where it's at.

Really it's kind of a minimalist linux distro with the capacity to coexist harmonically and/or parasitically with another operating system. Don't try to say 'oh it's like arch' or 'yeah it's a bit like Ubuntu', because no, it isn't, and by design. It seems that as much as design meant to go a particular way, there it went.

It does pretty well directly on the hardware, but seems to want to live (like it is) in a container, though that might just be it's style ;) it certainly seems to be convenient for containers.

It has a certain otaku appeal and ninjatsu stealth. I'll probably like it a lot some day soon but at the moment it just screams 'exotic' in my ears while I'm asleep at night.

This probably isn't helping so I'll just stop now.

Bogus, does not build on raspian/pi4...

This extension (Memex) flies wide of the mark. I won't elaborate beyond saying that as a tool it suffers technically from the constraints imposed by the operational context of browser extensions and as a business enterprise it's focus on revenue generation cripples it as an effective tool in the technical sense. Additionally, it lacks much of the functionality one anticipates in the most simple of tools of any abstraction, such as the ability to directly and conveniently edit previously committed atomic text.

Also you guys' successful use of pdfs for offline preservation is intriguing and I find it interesting that it satisfies your needs, but I think it only half a solution. I need something that can periodically and passively digest my annotated bookmarks semantically, producing a pool of 'hot terms', deep search the web for them in the background, and bring to my attention things that meet a configurable 'level of interest'. Additionally I'd want such a system to be a core part of a personal research management tool that would integrate any content I might drop on it in the deliberate, overt sense as well.

There used to be java applet embedded in altavista.com's website that could be run against search results. It would do semantic processing on the results and present a list of generated terms, each with a checkbox. Checking a box would pull any returns which contained the topic from the remaining search results.

This was fire. If a topic were being discussed on the web, you could find it with this tool. Unfortunately, it did not fit the vision of the parasitic overlords who bred us to produce and consume for their benefit.

Is there a search engine that actually combines selective search logic with reductive logic, so that can be used to actually search topically?

So much stuff. New raspberry pi 4, that and.. ...Exploring Alpine Linux ...Exploring NixOS ...Exploring Lightweight Linux Containers/VMs ...Writing a Hacker News Crawler ...Continuing my sometimes-paying (wx)python work

pretty much the usual, actually...

Thanks, I'll be staying the hell away from this...

While I do agree with the central tenets of the article, the author lost me in quoting someone as saying that neostoicism is '...based on the shallowness of the internet.'

I was around long before the internet, and I can promise you that so-called neostoicism was alive and well long before the internet was an idea, much less technically possible.

I stick out my hand and say "Hi I'm James."

If it's someone I've anticipated meeting, I might do the same but with more than just casual enthusiasm.

This is really just the tip of the iceberg :)

It seems to be workin' well enough for the folks over at mastodon.social, JS.

I've never really been a huge fan of twitter, and I got rid of failbook years ago, but masto fills the void without all the pain of the aforementioned other 'platforms'.

Love this guy. I was a singlehand live-aboard sailor on a motorless boat for seven years. Most of them blended into one long endless sunset on the bay. If not for having met my wife...
