Tenobrus··on Show HN: Google Drive as a file system
How does this compare to `rclone`?
Tenobrus··on MacOS 10.14 Wishlist
Same setup, 10.13.3, preview 10.0 (944.4). Unless I'm blind, no issue.

15 inch MBP.

Tenobrus··on Gitea: Open source, self-hosted GitHub alternative
What's the value add of this over GitLab?
Tenobrus··on Adult Neurogenesis – A Pointed Review
You didn't read the second half of the article.
Tenobrus··on Ask HN: What tools have most helped your day-to-day productivity?
Emacs, Org mode, magit, Alfred.
Tenobrus··on Reach for Markdown, not LaTeX
This is why I reach for Org mode.
Tenobrus··on Ask HN: Have you successfully done a career do-over, and how did you do it?
That's explicitly what this question is about though, the OP specifically says they want to know about lateral moves in the same industry.
Tenobrus··on Telegram Remote Code Execution Zero-Day Vulnerability
The "exploit" doesn't even have anything to do with Telegram specifically (except presumably that there's some known real world use on that platform). I'm surprised at this kind of article coming from Kaspersky.
Tenobrus··on Inventor Claims to Have Solved Floating Point Error Problem
Under a different system that doesn't incentivize holding back global progress for small amounts of individual enrichment.

There's a reason Linux and GNU utilities are so massively widely used, and overall they've probably provided billions in economic value. They do that freely, for any human to use, and in fact that's part of their main value proposition. Both were born out of the legal nightmare that was UNIX at the time.

How should he get paid for this? In a very-ideal world, people and corporations that used his idea and had spare capital would voluntarily give him donations. In a better-than-this world, governments (or some other entity) would pay bounties to inventories out of a pool of tax money, based on both perceived usefulness of the invention and how widespread its use came to be.

Tenobrus··on Losing Faith in the State, Some Mexican Towns Quietly Break Away
One relevant detail was a town driving out the police force along with cartels, and replacing them with a militia.
Tenobrus··on Germany vs. Elsevier: universities win temporary free journal access
Just like nearly all parts of human society.
Tenobrus··on Citadel's Ken Griffin Says Bitcoin ‘Bubble’ May End in Tears
Literally the same line about tulips has been repeated for the last 4 years. It's probably true, but at this point I'm curious why anyone is interested in yet another article saying exactly the same thing with no new information, content, evidence, anything.
Tenobrus··on On the Reception and Detection of Pseudo-Profound Bullshit [pdf]
"Suspect"? Chopra has been used as a prime example of pure bullshit for decades, since his 1990's publication which helped popularize using the word "quantum" to sell tripe to the general public.
Tenobrus··on “Startup” asks internship applicant to build their app before phone screen
The CTO's LinkedIn says he's still in undergrad. It seems like this is effectively a vanity startup and one of the founders has rich family members. Not rich enough, apparently.
Tenobrus··on [dead]
I'm not necessarily disparaging it, rather pointing out there are clear and legitimate features of the category "religion" that ideologies like atheism don't share.
Tenobrus··on [dead]
You're using the fact that all are ideologies to attempt to smuggle in the connotations we have with "religion" and apply those to atheism and materialism. Examine those connotations directly and you'll see they don't sensically apply. For example: religion requires faith without evidence, materialism and atheism do not. Almost all religions make demands on the actions of their adherents, atheism almost by definition does not, except as in that as a category defined by lack of belief, those in that category won't believe in supernatural powers. There are legitimate semantic boundaries here, and attempting to blur them is only useful if you're trying to wage a war of connotation and emotion, not if you're trying to argue in good faith or build a good model of the world.
Tenobrus··on Mastodon 2.0
Have you considered IRC?
Tenobrus··on The Last Invention of Man
Poor Satoshi Nakamoto. One day it will come back.
Tenobrus··on Git, Graphs and Software Engineering
For clarity, Tarsius is not the original creator of Magit, that would be Marius Vollmer (https://github.com/mvollmer). Tarsius is "just" the current maintainer and most prolific contributor. I'd strongly recommend contributing to the kickstarter if you use Magit, however. I donated $100 and felt that was not near what it's actually been worth to me. Don't think that just because it's fully funded you shouldn't bother, there's good reason to keep contributing: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/71viq3/the_magit_kic...
Tenobrus··on Infinitely many twin primes
Well, a purely heuristic evaluation: this appears to be written in Word rather than LaTeX, it seems to be this person's first publication, it seems they're not affiliated with any institution, and it reads like an undergrad's homework rather than a paper. So I'm pretty skeptical.
Tenobrus··on What should follow the web?
Seems like Urbit ticks at least some of these boxes
Tenobrus··on MacOS High Sierra
LaTeX and Org mode are much better and more usable than either Office or OpenOffice for me. I haven't needed to do more than copy-paste into Office documents for the last 4 years. Of course, that's not at all relevant for general market share, but there are viable alternatives depending on how technical you are and your exact needs/restrictions/use-cases.
Tenobrus··on Magic Sudoku – Solve Sudoku with the power of AR
Check out Dr. Fill and maybe Cruciform.
Tenobrus··on Magic Sudoku – Solve Sudoku with the power of AR
Shouldn't you be able to generate a lot of synthetic "printed-looking" digits very easily? Just get say 20 common fonts and render each digit with random rotations and scaling etc.
Tenobrus··on Technical Interview Performance by Editor, OS, and Language
Anyone using "default" Emacs is entirely missing the point (or has only just started getting it).
Tenobrus··on Artificial intelligence pioneer says we need to start over
What you've described for unsupervised learning is really closer to reinforcement learning, where you get rewards without any information. True unsupervised learning is more like "figure out the clusters of these n-dimensional vectors".
Tenobrus··on Show HN: Nulis – Open Source Tree Editor for Writers
Best and most general option that I know of is Org mode (Emacs). But regardless, I'm glad more people are picking up on the power of hierarchical text editing (and interfaces more friendly to non-programmers are a reasonably good thing). But if you really want to go all the way, and get arbitrary directed graphs of text content, check out org-brain.
Tenobrus··on Introducing Atom-IDE
The same reason thousands of programmers use Vim or Emacs with various extensions as their development environment. It allows the same editing experience across multiple languages. A consistent interface, lack of need for learning many (often very different) IDEs, less proprietary annoyance, many many more options for customization, much easier to port your setup to various platforms, etc.

Admittedly I don't think Atom is a very worthwhile text editor, but using an augmented text editor as an IDE is a very common practice.

Tenobrus··on Tell me what your company does
To be fair, those tools (videos and descriptions) are directly below that paragraph. Which makes it many times clearer and more direct than the majority of the websites discussed in the article.
Tenobrus··on Hy – A Lisp-flavored Python
I think the problem is, then constructs such as yield (the behavior of which depends on the current function scope), would no longer work correctly.
