ie21··on Notion releases offline mode
I have my obsidian vault saved in local Google Drive folder. Saved changes are synced with Google Drive windows app.

I use DriveSync on Android to sync selected Gdrive folder to my phone.

It works.

ie21··on Oracle engineers caused five days software outage at U.S. hospitals
Same.

I work with engineers and technical managers with 25+ years of experience, building and maintaining serious business software 'you could run a country with' - people here build react web apps or do scientific research, or work for a SaaS provider - completely different view than building highly complex, regulated, mission critical software that supposed to run for decades and be supported at this level.

Curious what you've had in mind here regarding auto generated content and using SEO? How is this supposed to make money?

They make a great database?
ie21··on Long Covid is associated with cognitive slowing
I hear you. Consistency is key. Scheduling a race few months in the future can clarify the immediate 'why' - the big picture is not the race but health. The path is the goal, really. This becomes clearer with consistent training. Like with anything, progressive overload comes naturally as consistent training builds endurance and an/aerobic capacity. You just operate at the increasing levels of effort your body and mind can handle. Consult your doctor if any health concerns arise as you progress and observe your body. Good luck, I'm off to my morning run!
ie21··on Long Covid is associated with cognitive slowing
Hey, to chip in: try cardio, especially running. Men loose muscle mass with age, as you are already aware, resistance training is important, but cardio should be on top of your list.

I was there with you in terms of brain fog, general mental slowdown, what is called cognitive decline, and mind you, I presume we are healthy, without cognitive degeneration or serius injuries or conditions.

Running 3 times per week should get you on track in about a month. Try it and notice the difference. We are made for movement. If you're healthy and don't feel like running, in my case, i immediately know i should be doing the thing I don't feel like doing. Running. 1x interval training, 1x hill repeats, 1, long run in cardio zone 2. If you can, get s Garmin watch. Stats will help you maintain focus on the big picture. Streaks can help reframe for consistency.

I started training when corona hit, this is the best I've felt ever. Slowly progressed to cycling on off days for better recovery. Bought smart watches for friends, now we keep each other in check, we sometimes even meet at the pool at 6 am for a quick swim session. I now do some kind of activity 6 times per week. If i ever stop working on software, I'll help others train and get better to feel good and feel healthy - that's how much it gave me and i absolutely love it.

hint: optimize for training the next 20-30 years (I'm 39) which means injury prevention, recovery activities, everything else as nutrition and rest follows as you observe your own body and get in tune with what it needs. Honest good luck to you, I'm excited for you!

ie21··on My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
Perhaps more facts surface in this case.
ie21··on My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
What about those cases when they don't get away? How is that established? Hearsay?
ie21··on My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
Same with Galileo, and many others.

There's power in number, but not in this particular case and context.

Thanks for sharing your story.

ie21··on My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
Basically, you're saying Galileo was wrong?

Edit: as I see some people have trouble connecting the dots.

You should strive for evidence and truth.

ie21··on My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
what does this have to do with Scala community? she was harassed by many people who use Scala?

Did they all wear Nike?

What mobile phones were they using, iphone, huawei?

Clickbait, trying to ruin a reputation?

To what effect is this article written is the central question.

Woman, use your head and learn from experience.

Unbelievable, the times we are living in. I wouldn't speak to this woman ever, who knows what she might write about it years later. This is insane to go public like this about your private life, and again, to what effect? You don't have to be above average intelligence to understand the whys of this drama.

Jesus...

This stands no chance with Tim Dillon's audience - the ads he does are better than the show!

Would love to read if anyone has it mirrored? Looks like the original article isn't available for EU market.
ie21··on Billionaires Want People Back to Work. Employees Aren’t So Sure
Then I'm living your dream - my office is right-next-to-my-house. I use the door in my garden to cross over. More often I take the main front yard door just so I get to walk a bit (<100m door to door).

Right now, nobody is coming in, everyone's remote. I prefer to go to the office now. Tho it's only six of us developers (company is 17 people) sharing a pretty nice office in a modern building owned by the company, I prefer to work over the wire. Unusual, huh? I realized for me it's about flexibility, not distance.

I wish you get to live the way you want. Good luck, sir.

ie21··on Microsoft Access: The Database Software That Won't Die
This. Its interesting to read this thread mentioning DB and systems issues that are solves in Oracle APEX. We built an ERP system for a oil&gas client, including in the requirements, apps for monitoring gas values at the plant, by simply connecting to the mesurment equipment API. All that on Oracle XE, free version that comes with APEX. Three weeks to build apps, five months to implement in the company. I'm thinking software is not the problem, its people, politics in the company, resistance to change, really everthing but tech. We're solving business problems, helping the company cut costs, increase speed and streamline processes. Tech is a tool - there are so many other obstacles to solving problems other then tech. Thanks for mentioning Apex, and Oracle, in a thread about DB-s that fails to mention the company building databases for 40 years, that run for instance at CERN, to name but one.

:) The video from 30+ years ago was recorded in Vancouver, in front of a class of English speaking students. His answers on Croatian national TV were broadcasted to a Croatian audience.
ie21··on Show HN: HeyFromTheFuture – Advice people wish they had at your age
Interesting concept in this regard - Croatian artist Dalibor Martinis interviewed his future self, asking questions in 1978 and answering in 2010 on national TV.

Has english subtitles.
