It’s $4 a month to sync Obsidian notes, for anyone wondering.

What did it for me was disabling my history (a setting). Consequently your YT homepage is blank and it doesn’t suggest any shorts. You can maintain a kind of history by liking videos or just via the browser itself.

A SINGLE roll of Portra 400 120 here in the UK is £15 or about $19. I remember when you could buy 5 rolls for that. It's insane

Talking to myself but... I just don't understand the downvotes on my comment. Saying cheap film is shit offends people? It's still shit. Get over it.

Film photography just became prohibitively costly for me around ~2018. When a roll of 120 was costing £20/25 in the UK. A lot of the good labs over here (Peak Imaging for example) went bust too.

I poke fun at film shooters today who heap praise on e.g. Kodak Gold or the cheap Fuji equivalents because it's all they can really afford/get their hands on. I wouldn't have even considered shooting it 10 years ago

What's RAG?

I'm working on a more general purpose programming language called "Pear", rather than the DSL I wrote before called "runny" (a Make/Just equivalent).

I want it to have a more concise syntax (no keywords, fewer characters) but feel familiar to most programmers. All definitions use square brackets in combination with some other set of characters.

e.g.

``` [myFunc](arg1,arg2){ ?(true){ #do something }{ #do something else } } ```

I'm 6'7" (with corresponding hand size) and prefer the mini too

Spain was considerably more exploitative than Britain at first, in the South American gold & silver mining trade, to name one example.

- the artifact is likely to be seen by significantly more people and serves a much greater purpose to expose/educate those people (from other cultures) to/about the culture from which it came

Which is probably not a good reason to upvote.

Love the site dude! Feel glad to have been part of this transient joke with a bunch of strangers on the internet

I really hope Bob picks up that milk

This strikes me as really dumb. An efficiency that the diner would never notice and he wants to make his staff work harder to prove a point. Way to make people resent their work.

What's your username (if you don't mind me asking)?

> A lot of people hate rote learning - but elementary math classes, meaning all the way up to calculus (or prior to more rigorous proof based classes), do require a bunch of memorization

A lot of people still think reading and re-reading textbooks is the way to memorise theorems but recall (attempting to remember them without the book) is much better.

I cannot recommend the book "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley enough - it put me on a journey to re-learning Maths as an adult.

Yes, many

I recently read and enjoyed "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley, full of lots of techniques for learning maths and science

Thank you :)

I agree. I find myself disengaged as soon as someone makes fun of the hard work of others. Intelligent people don't typically do this.

Years ago I worked on a calendar application with recurrence. After lots of research I settled on using RRules to represent this, which I was very pleased with. That initial work was when I was at an agency.

Later I joined the company full time and discovered to my amazement that a contractor from a different company had removed the RRules in favour of creating and destroying instances of events on the fly. It had no/little fault tolerance so sometimes the script (which did other things that would sometimes fail) would fail to create new events. You'd have monthly recurring events with missing months.

I found it so frustrating that (after going through a lot of thought and research) that someone hadn't put anywhere near as much effort into removing mine. It took just a few weeks at that company to realise that the CEO expected the Engineering team to pump out features (that nobody used) at his will and, in the uncertainty of the job market, sadly I stayed there for 2 years.

Unrelated footnote: After Googling them, it's really sad to see what are blatantly fake reviews by the CEO on Glassdoor all written in the same style with nothing bad to say. I (and a bunch of other people I know who worked there) hated him, but the silver lining is that I wrote some of my best essays there. The CTO was hopeless too.

What is BEAM?

Link?

Because most people aspire to do the right thing?

Not sure why my previous comment got flagged. HN doesn't seem to allow you to appeal a flagging. How is other people's judgement of what constitutes a rules-break better than mine?

It's sad that Elon's waves of fans come to his side, even after the incredibly offensive "pedo diver" episode. He is not the "man of the people" he'd like you to believe. It surprises me that hackers think Big Tech CEOs are on their side

Gah. So it looks and functions more or less like the last one, albeit a bit faster? Consumer tech is so boring - Nobody dares do something even a little different

Thanks! I'll check that out

Edit: Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for
