yangcheng··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
For people who use a personal notes tool like obsidian, how would you deal with notes that turned to work related later? I always find myself end up with half-finished notes in multiple different places. First versions in personal notebook and refined ones in company's google doc/etc. Thanks

yangcheng··on Ask HN: Companies of one, what is your tech stack?
I have a wide tech foot print but boring stack.

website+e-commence: shopify liquid, later moved to typescript+hydrogen

embedded Android: Kotlin

mobile app: Flutter

Backend: go + postgres on heroku, with some lambdas for periodical work.

The thing surprised me most is the amount of downtime Github and heroku had in past year.

Completion of the transaction is expected to take place in approximately 18 months."
yangcheng··on Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B
I am surprised that no one has mentioned China will very likely block this deal.
yangcheng··on TikTok’s Chinese owner offers to forego stake to clinch U.S. deal – sources
It's easy to create those apps when there is no external competition. China created every major internet service U.S has. EU can easily do the same. The point is FB pay tax to US, and a EU-based FB will pay tax to EU. EU actually want to copy GFW , see https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2020/6487...

yangcheng··on The new Dropbox
I don't get why I would save a google doc in Dropbox. I just tried that, and the Dropbox's search can't search content on my google doc. The google doc also takes five more seconds to load compared to if I just create a google doc on google, and it's not available offline either. So what're the real benefits users get?
