pps··on Appflowy – open-source Notion Alternative
You can do that, but Logseq is definitely not optimized for longer pages and you will quite quickly start to feel that. But putting everything in one note might be a good starting point to learn new workflows with these kind of outliners.
pps··on How I Use Notion
It never happened to me, there's always default page icon unless I click at this icon to change it. I write in polish, maybe they're trying to deduce from the title what the note is about and this works only for english?
pps··on Ask HN: I keep forgetting the new habits I'm trying to form
Two scientifically proven methods:

pps··on macOS Monterey
Yes, it's the same build version
pps··on Ask HN: M1 MacBook Pro or Lenovo X1 Carbon with Ubuntu
I have Macbook Air M1 16GB for web dev (including docker and all that plus occasional Adobe Illustrator) and it's absolutely perfect machine for me, nothing hangs or lags with 50+ browser tabs and multiple electron apps open. It's completely quiet (doesn't have fans) and cold, weights nothing, and typing on it is super smooth. I'm super happy I didn't buy MBP this time.
pps··on Tab Unloading in Firefox 93
Opera has a nice way to deal with this problem - contexts (similar to tabs groups in other browsers, but it completely removes unneeded stuff from tab bar) and recently they also introduced pinboards. I recently came back to Opera and I'm quite impressed of how this works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2FbCCCmV9U

Oh, and "Flow" which is something like personal chat app, you can send links and notes and have access to them from Opera on mobile too. It's achievable in other ways obviously, but the workflow here is smoother, because it's built in and sharing link to website is done with one click.

pps··on I don't have crippling Anxiety, but Anxiety is crippling me
Meditation (just focus on your internal state - breath, discomfort, feeling on skin, etc - for 15min a day, one day with eyes closed, one day with open), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (read a workbook and do this by yourself everyday - Mind Over Mood by Padesky, Greenberger, would be my advice), breath work to help yourself quickly in the worst moments (look for Huberman Lab podcast videos on Youtube for things that are scientifically proven), and sleep, sleep, sleep as long as you need
pps··on What will programming look like in 2020? (2012)
I do, it's helpful most of the time, mostly because it behaves like intelligent text expander, and couple of times a day I'm consciously aware how it helped me in even more "intelligent" way. There were also situations when it was distracting/confusing, but I can deal with it. I'm working as web dev, with TS, JS and PHP, and in my case there is no place for some great solutions that I wouldn't thought about myself (less than 5 times I've used something generated with comment), it's simply predicting what I want to do next in the line and instead of writing 50 chars to end that, I can hit tab. Honestly, I don't want to work without it anymore.

EDIT. regarding these situations when it doesn't predict what I wanted, I feel that my brain is getting better at not focusing at that and moving on. At first it was distracting, now I subconsciously know that the provided solution might be wrong and I'm deciding faster if it's something I should choose or skip. Your tool is adapting to you and you're adapting to your tool to find the right balance :)

pps··on MDMA reopens child-like “critical periods” in the brain
> a definite change in the clarity and volume of my inner voice and mental imagery

It's normal that these things varies, depending on the state you're in. Any kind of dopamine rush (thinking positively about future endeavours, thinking about something you would like to have, etc.) will make your inner voice louder and faster and you'll be imagining things more easily. I guess cannabis is somehow doing this for you, but you can also learn to do this without it (The Molecule of More by Daniel Z. Lieberman is great if you want to understand how one can do this).

pps··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and Notion in one
I can't use letters from Polish alphabet: ó, ą, ę, etc. Doesn't look like for example option/alt+o doing something, but I can't type "ó" anyway. Chrome on MacOS

I totally agree, even though I'm not using that, Mochi is really well thought-out and maintained app. I'm testing it from time to time and it's always better, I'm pretty sure some day I'll switch to them. They allow for hierarchical structure of your notes/cards and also you can easily link between them with [[wikilinks]] (with auto backlinks).
pps··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and Notion in one
Mochi, Remnote, recently Logseq, plus Obsidian and Roam with community plugins. Also Notion with Leitner algo hacked into database. All of these are note-taking apps and have flashcards. I would say it's not that bad :)
pps··on How to Remember What You Read
There is also good website on this topic, with free guides https://www.retrievalpractice.org/
pps··on The Zettelkasten Method (2019)
You can see the process on videos from zettelkasten.de guy: entire playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHwtkAtdkx1IZoI7FZf1X... and something new that I didn't watch yet, but it looks like it's also walkthrough, from the other guy from zk.de: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_MJYtWr1vE
pps··on Apple is suing smartphone emulation software startup Corellium
You are not wrong, I'm using Vivaldi on Android and it has built-in ad blocker. On this page though are two big dialogs: for cookies on top and "2 free stories remaining" on bottom, so even with ad blocker only 1/3 of the screen is visible until you manually remove these annoyances.

pps··on The Galileo Project: Daring to Look Through New Telescopes
All right. For some reason they didn't use that before - maybe it wasn't available at the time, or maybe they are using that, but they deliberately want to spread disinformation. Anyway, we'll see how it will go with this linked project, it's privately funded and it will require new research, so there is no harm in doing that, only new opportunities.
pps··on Is Norway the New East India Company?
I live in Poland, our government love coal ("our black gold" as they call it) and I never heard anything from Norwegian government about this. I don't listen/watch our government radios/tv, so the message should come to me as any other related to climate catastrophe. I'm not saying that you're lying or anything, but I would love to see some examples of this shaming.

There will be more on this in Brian Keatings (he's a cosmologist) podcast this Monday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3tBDJk6rgc
pps··on The Galileo Project: Daring to Look Through New Telescopes
If that's true, that's another reason to not believe in US army engagement into that topic. Some of the released videos are easy to debunk (like the "pyramid ufo" which in reality is bokeh effect as proven by Mick West https://www.youtube.com/c/MickWest/videos and others) and are still being considered as unexplained by US army or whoever did this recent UFO report.
pps··on The Galileo Project: Daring to Look Through New Telescopes
No I wouldn't expect that. Assuming these things could be real (the only thing I could even imagine would be some form of a probe without live being on board) how many of them could be flying here? There are only a couple of thousands reported sightings a year - even if some of them would be real (which I don't believe) it's obvious to me that the chance that a real alien spaceship is captured on high-quality image/video is super small and this is not an argument for them not being real, there are much better and honest ways to disbelieve that (mainly knowing some physics and how big are the distances between star systems).
pps··on The Galileo Project: Daring to Look Through New Telescopes
It's quite the opposite https://www.statista.com/chart/8452/ufo-sightings-are-at-rec...
pps··on The Galileo Project: Daring to Look Through New Telescopes
I'm from Mick West "camp" ( https://www.youtube.com/c/MickWest/videos ) - you don't need to try argue with me that UFOs are not aliens, BUT "there are billions of phone cameras" is simply a bad argument IMO. My phone is quite old now, but still is way above what most people in the world have, and I know that I wouldn't be able to make good photo of something on the sky, because I tried (wasn't supposed to be UFOs of course). I'm sure there are ways to do good photos for objects from distance with this and even weaker phones, but I, like most people, didn't invest my time into it. Also - let's be honest - you see your supersharp, ideal photo/video of weird spaceship-like object from some random human with great camera: would you really believe it's real? I know I wouldn't, it's just to easy to fake things.
pps··on The Galileo Project: Daring to Look Through New Telescopes
I, on the other hand, don't understand why people assume that all photos should be great looking. I own Samsung Galaxy S9+ and the quick close photos it takes are very good, but when I want to focus on something that is 20 meters apart it looks bad. Pictures taken at night are super bad. I know that there are some magnificent smartphones in the wild, but I doubt most people have them... Obviously people want to believe and will post grainy looking things as UFOs, but in reality it's also not that easy to make good, sharp photo or video for objects from further away.
