my ulterior motive: I use some of Nori skills, and also toad, ampcode, codex, kilocode, and... I want to reduce my tool noise. ;-)

On the flicker free console as well as agent agnostic front, also see BatrachianAI's Toad (https://github.com/batrachianai/toad). Maybe you two should/could collaborate.

Ouch. Relative to myself and all those I'm in IRL contact with, I expect all 230 of them are extremely well compensated, so no tears, but also: that sucks, and those 'leaders' are assholes. No decency or professionalism at all.

Ditto. I've spent a few hours with Kilo Code over last few days. It seems to have something solid to work with. Zed feels really nice, but I haven't quite found the entry angle for working with my stuff just yet.

It's published on GitHub under license ELv2 - Elastic License v2. This does not meet the open source definition, so indeed it's not Open Source. ELv2 is an open source sibling though, closer than many other openish licenses: https://www.elastic.co/pricing/faq/licensing

Still, Amphi should not claim to be 'Open Source'.

@ezst I've come across a couple of your comments noting the benefits and shortfalls of the current crop of PKMS. Lots of head nodding going on over here on the "sure you can define your tags/categories/types, but after page/note creation you're on your own for management" theme. That had me jumping with enthusiam towards Trilium, only to see it's gone into maybe-discontinued mode (https://github.com/zadam/trilium/issues/4620). What are your thoughts on it's viability for someone who is not a current user but thinks they might want to be?

(if there's a better place to have this conversation than (ab)using this thread feel free to point the way. Assuming you wish to indulge me at all that is. ;-)

Try reading the article without an adblocker. It's basically one long ad for packing machines and extras. "Build cool thing with cardboard" is to get people in the door.

Using gvim to automatically edit and re-path thousands of ArcView 3 project files across our network shares in the early 2000s was one my "Behold! I am mighty and a god!" highlight moments.

Before that the project was "work with these 25 people and help them open each project and fix the broken paths interactively" (because servers changed).

The script ran at night and everyone's things "just worked" the next morning. It was glorious.

Thanks Bram.

What do you mean? Pinboard is working fine for me.

Mind you I only signed up a few weeks ago so can't speak to reliability over time.

Would be awesome if the menu can be bound to numpad. Press center key to pop-up, then whatever key around that to select and activate.

Upvoted for the 1st sentence.

A primary software at work is $1,500 to $10,000 a seat (depending on extensions) plus 10% annual maintenance. Our department annual fee is ~$70,000. I have a long list of "vote up this enhancement request or bug to get it fixed" that goes back almost two decades. (It's hard to identify the oldest because the vendor has switched tracking platforms twice.)

The temperature equalizing sounds interesting. I'd try Joeveo out if one happened to be offered by a friend or something, but it'd have to be pretty special to displace my Thermos travel mug. I've been using the same one for 15 years and it still keeps my drink warm for hours.

Lid is tight and leak proof. I trust it inside my pack. The handle and carabiner are essential components too. Handle hangs over bike handlebars, side of canoe or seat, belt. Carabiner does, well it does what carabiners do!

Maybe try drawing the key points instead of text cards. Idea sparked by the below, which is awesome but requires someone else who already understands to create the learning material first.

"Each 5-minute video, or 'cartoon', is the equivalent of 50 minutes of a university-level computer graphics class. ... there was no statistically significant difference in learning effectiveness between [cartoons & lectures] as measured by exam, homework, and project scores. In other words, the cartoons were just as effective as traditional classrooms for teaching the material."

Yes, actually I do. Not often, but with increasing frequency.

My pet theory is that editors aren't as good as they used to be. Market pressure to publish faster and faster in a vain attempt to keep up with the internet means that fewer of them are given the time and support to get really skilled. Thus resulting in ham fisted edits that jar me out of reading flow, and thence to analysing why.

(This pressure operates the other way too. Many authors' works are pushed out the door when they should have had more editing. )

I surmise those kids had near complete freedom to do whatever they wanted with those tablets. No parental helicoptering.

What you say is true, our neighbourhood streets are more crowded and no longer suitable for kick the can and soccer and what have you, but I don't think it's the driving factor.*

It is a concern for safety, or at least usually couched that way, but what I hear voiced most often is fear of other humans. From older bullying kids, to hoodlums, to drugs, to predators. In short, Stranger Danger. The "don't talk to strangers" refrain I remember hearing occasionally when I was kid in the 70s didn't seem to have much effect. We just kind of shrugged. Looking around today, I see it took deep root.

((Oh yes, pun intended. It's a beautiful thing when they also perfectly express the thought.))

I love the idea, and from the overview implementation looks like a great start. For me though it's not something I will explore. Uploading our documents to a 3rd party is not something we can do.

I have made a few runs at adopting spaced repetition learning via Anki into my life. The failure point each time so far has been making cards that are worth anything.

Fossil Source Code Management (fossil-scm.org/) ticks all these boxes. It's amazing in every way except the ones most relevant to this thread: it's not for web development! (Except as a means of version control for your web-dev project. And managing tickets, and discussion and other project management things.)

The reason I bring it up is that in spite of this apparent misfit-to-topic is that it's a superb exemplar of what a local-first application can operate like. It does not sacrifice network presence and utility. I wish for more projects to work like Fossil does, only tackling different problem domains. (My personal vote is for blog or CMS.)

Nothing, however they've had a couple decades to do that and haven't.

...just adding my voice for an on-premise option

I have the install files for Resolver One cached somewhere. If there's interest I'll dig them out and post publicly.

I was very sorry to see the project go insolvent. I didn't become an active user due to accident of time not discovering it until the final months.

Some countries don't have Public Domain, and that can be a problem. I didn't know that. SQLite's response (from that transcript):

""" “We’ll sell you a license for SQLite.”

We do our best to talk them out of it and explain they don’t need this, but for a lot of people it’s cheaper to pay the fee and get the license than it is to convince their lawyers that they don’t need one. """

Priceless! Except that it's not. LoL.

Makes me think of what something like Datasette fused with Fossil SCM could accomplish.

Followed the 1st link in post, used GitHub sign-up button, allowed pop-up, signed in to GH, authorized app, ended up on white page with message about missing session status or something (sorry, I didn't capture verbatim message).

Went back to 1st page and tried again. No GH login prompt, white page with coloured progress bar at top, ended up back on initial page with message "Unable to establish a connection with the popup. It may have been blocked by the browser".

Firefox on Android. (Btw, perhaps it's on purpose, but I can't select and copy text on that page.)

Are these examples just different locations on the same canvas?

How do these people pay for their necessities? (Honest question)

We call many things Buddhism now as a fuzzy shorthand for a plethora of culture and practices that share a heritage and resemble each other. The reason the passage in [1] exists in the canon is because at Buddha's time both extreme indulgence and asceticism were in vogue. As the article makes clear they've continued past his time as well. (Gautama's not yet succeeded in persuading everyone on the wisdom of the middle way.)

I'm reasonably certain you're quite well aware of this. I just wanted to ensure a between the lines meaning was made explicit in the thread. To remind that Buddhism is nested inside a larger contingent, and that this story lies more in that outer part than in.

Yep, same thing happened in my brain. Maybe Timer Train instead? And play with the double meaning of train as in practice and get better, and train as in when all the cars are hooked up and going in the same direction on the same track you can move a heck of a lot of freight and people.
