This is just an insane level of censorship, I don't care if they are literally for-real Nazis. It's not the place of corporations to pick and choose who should have Freedom of Speech.

I think if two weeks notice is fine for quitting, a month is more than fine for nearly any real change.

I wonder if he's going to spin up a more libertarian friendly incubator?

Nope, although I haven't really used them much outside. Just walking around, or sitting, or at the gym at a treadmill.

I've had my airpods for about two months now and I really like them a lot. They are small enough in their case that I usually carry them in my pocket, which I didn't normally do with other earbuds, and so I've found I get to listen to music in more situations, unexpectedly waiting in long lines or what have you, which is nice.

I don't like them as much as my good aviator style headphones, but for earbuds their sound quality is good.

I'm a white guy. I'm a software engineer. I'm totally cool with hiring people who aren't white guys (assuming they can do the job.) It seems that Denise Young Smith understands that, but there's a weird fringe of the extreme left that only sees headcounts by color and gender, and only sees me as "a white guy", and only sees others as "an <enthnicity> <gender>", and it's sad that a black woman got fired for being reasonable instead of having a specific and idiotic political agenda.

I actually really like the old hand sketched design drawings quite a bit, there's a really cool look to them, and while it's purely useful, sometimes there's some real artistic merit there.

Your calendrical fallacy is ... not just using unix timestamps.

Nope, purely chronological. I do a short index in the back, that's as close as I get to subjects.

That's not it, but I like that one too. That's the right brand though.

It's this one:

I'll occasionally take a scan (actually usually a photo with my iphone) as a super quick way to share a diagram. I'd love to get them all scanned in and indexed somehow. That would be the best of both worlds.

I keep it paper for various reasons. I've played around with digital notes, the main problem is it's hard to sketch stuff quickly, even though I have a nice wacom tablet, and it's horrible with just a mouse or trackpad. And there's always a need it seems to try to edit existing stuff. That's why I use ink. I can't erase and "fix" it.

Get better pens. There are waterproof ones that I use, they are the anti-fraud ones that they market for use with paper checks.

I'll start with the date and a big horizontal line.

For meetings I'll put the start time and a quick header, then some quick notes, usually not even complete sentences, I'm just scribbling things down to remember.

In deep coding, debugging, or infrastructure stuff: I'll keep short notes on infrastructure stuff, URLs, hostnames, ports, function names, file names, lots of breadcrumbs basically. This is often great the next day, where I might not really remember how I got from A to B, but all of a sudden need to make a document describing it for other people to repeat. This is the part that is most like a "lab notebook."

If I'm designing something new or exploring something, I'll often sketch system diagrams or the like. I'll maybe try to diagram flow between components, user steps, basic algorithm steps, etc. Think design document, version -1.

I'll often intersperse TODOs as well, which I'll try to quickly migrate to something real (Jira here at work, or my iPhone tasks list.) I don't use it for task tracking, although I used to do that.

I'm using one from Fiorentina, it's hardbound with a dragon and a griffin on the cover, I've been using them for a while now. They are really well made, but I mostly like them for the cover :)

I've been keeping a paper notebook since I started my MS in computer science, which I graduated from about 10 years ago. It's something that really helps in software development work too. It's amazing how often the same stuff comes up over and over again, and keeping it all written down really helps. I've got them all going back to 2004 except for one which I seem to have misplaced.

Some things I'd recommend:

- Keep it chronological, don't try to keep a half dozen notebooks for different subjects or projects (unless you have to for privacy/secrecy/etc. reasons.)

- Number and/or date all of your pages. I date at the start of each day, and number all pages, although I don't date all the pages.

- Number your pages sequentially across multiple notebooks. This is nice for when you want to write a reference to a previous page, even when it's in an older notebook it's not a problem. I started doing that about 3 years ago, before that I'd start back at page 1 for each notebook. I'm at page 1947 right now, I think I'll be lucky to get to more than 20,000 pages before I die.

- A few pages in the back for a simple index is nice.

- Use ink, not pencil, and don't actually scribble out or erase, just a simple line through is good. Sometimes you want those wrong ideas after all.

- Put a Tile or similar tracker on your notebook. They are pretty cheap now, and losing your notebook can really suck.

I live in Emacs too. I thought you could get one with real buttons? Did they drop that?

I hate the keyboard on the 2015 era ones too though, I'm always using my giant Microsoft hump style keyboard instad. I only use the built-in keyboard in hotel rooms/conferences/etc.

Boeing supposedly had a fully double-decker variant of the 747 in the works back in the late 1970's or early 1980's but abandoned it early on because there wasn't a market.

Wow, I'm amazed they were even still around.

That's what I'm using at work, and what I've got for my personal laptop too. Are the new ones that much worse? They don't seem like there at all worse to me, I've been thinking about getting one.

The US Space Corps is in the budget for 2018.

By handful I mean < 5. Probably usually just one. Because no others would get a chance to evolve, with all the habitable planets quickly being occupied by whichever species figures out interstellar travel first.

I have trouble believing there's more than a handful of spacefaring species per galaxy. Even without FTL travel, one species could fill up all of the habitable planets in a galaxy the size of ours in a few million years or less, thanks to the fact that we breed exponentially. And there's been Sun-like stars for a while now in our galaxy, presumably with Earth-like planets orbiting them. So it's a matter of getting there first.

The answer they don't want to touch? The media, NYT included, has been attacking the very concept of marriage for decades. It's not a matter of "privilege", it's a matter of those that are more capable of ignoring poor advice from channels like TV, or the New York Times, or your dumb roommate in college, are more likely to be successful in general.

But they aren't that's the point, this is some of the worst turnouts for movies ever.

I think more than anything what we need is more movies made by low-budget places. I really don't want to see another sequel, redo, or comic book movie. It's just lazy on the part of the movie companies.

Fundamentally, I think this is an issue with DNS itself. It assumes trust, it assumes central control, and it assumes nobody is trying to screw with you on a higher level. In the long run it'll probably need to be replaced with something that works more like public keys.

Heaven forbid his favorite lost. Don't worry, they'll censor it next time around.

I wonder if this will make it crash to $8,000?
