You should break up with web based front ends and write them in Rust. :-)

That killed my interest instantly.

That language predates Jassy, it was there back around 2012 at least.

Predates Jassy? He has literally worked at Amazon for decades and most of that on Amazon Web Services.

I'm almost ready to sell my DIY Windows framework and go back to mac. It won't go to sleep-- fans always spin unless I shut down completely. Forums aren't any help. Anyone have this issue? Other commenters have similar complaints here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31433556

I really wanted to support this company because I believe in repairability! But repairability is meaningless the software doesn't work... I'm not a 16 year old enthusiast anymore, I don't have the time or patience to troubleshoot drivers, firmware, devices etc. etc. :(

I returned my 12th gen Framework and purchased an M1 Pro MBP. It was absolutely the right decision. I just wasn’t ready to accept the lower quality product for such a premium price as much as I wanted to support the company.

Small correction the headline reads: "PC Sales Hit Nearly 350 Million Units in 2020"

Not 2021 - will be interesting to see 2022!

rawrenstein · 3 years ago
I actually think the title is wrong. The URL slug actually states 2021, and later in the article: "The industry shipped 348.8 million PCs in 2021..."

Nope. Works on local files. Open source.

It’s one of the main reasons I went with it.

rawrenstein · 3 years ago
Wait. Is Obsidian open source? Any links to their code?

A fake Rolex produces up to 4.5x less greenhouse gas emissions than a real one.

Would that matter for collectors?

PS. I don't care about watches at all, btw.

rawrenstein · 3 years ago
Is there some sort of milk collectors guild I don’t know about?

I'm dumbfounded by the downvotes your perfectly legitimate question is getting. I think these enterprising ladies just found a way to beat YouTube's AI identifiers of NSFW content, and deserve to rake in the add revenue while it lasts.
rawrenstein · 5 years ago
Channels can't monetize "Adult Content" according to "Advertiser-friendly content guidelines" from YouTube [1]. Each video I encountered was clearly marked by AI for such content. It requires human intervention to successfully verify a claim that the content is educational. I doubt most of these spam YouTube accounts are doing this. (I'm claiming spam because separate accounts are copying and pasting the same video descriptions.) It's sad to see really. Naked yoga is really great outside of this exploitation. Videos with no verbal instructions and non-instructional shots of genitalia kill the spirit of the practice. Such a shame.

There are already free / free-ish clones of Roam:

  * org-roam: https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam
  * Obsidian: https://obsidian.md/
  * Athens: https://github.com/athensresearch/athens

+1 for Obsidian. Lots of refinement in such a young product. It has been my main driver recently. I picked it up primarily to keep things local rather than rely on an internet connection. Even so, took only a few minutes to add encrypted backups to S3 debounced on file change.

Unless you're getting all of your Amazon stuff in a single box in the weekly option, it's not really better. Driving 3 miles once a week to get everything from a store is better than 7 boxes a week + delivery increased truck load.
rawrenstein · 5 years ago
Don't forget that that delivery truck isn't just delivering boxes for you.
