I guess though with Obsidian, even if you get locked out or they dry up tomorrow, you don’t lose anything in your knowledge base because it works on top of your existing directory structure The only thing you could get locked out of is the

I’ve found that obsidian and Jekyll play pretty nice together. Not perfect but not bad

The key value of Obsidian is that your “website” (linked documents) is a WYSIWYG text editor (and even has native vim keybindings) It may not be “new” but it’s extremely useful, and better than any existing alternatives that I’ve personally

Society's aren't individuals. They are collections of many individuals. I don't think society "chooses" to do or not do things in the same way we assume humans "choose" to do or not do things. I don't

there is an interview with a person from India involved in a caste discrimination lawsuit that people should watch: https://youtu.be/XhGZUE1ABuo?si=r9DVUDAoexoS0-aB they make similar arguments about why they feel the bill i

it could just be that freeing humanity from the need to work takes longer than we thought are we worse off than we were before industrial automation? I thought the economics said the opposite (even if we exclude the eastern nations that ben

well said. It might seem like semantics but I think getting people to think of science using the way you defined it would resolve a lot of these debates (plus many other other fashionably nonsensical ideas)

Some people have argued that the fuzziness of the legal system can be a good feature for some reason, but you could always have a machine execute the law and a human make the final call. So you wouldn't need judges, juries, or lawyers,

I suppose a formalized legal language could: - help in quickly testing whether newly drafted laws contradict existing laws(without needing to memorize the existing legal code) - check for redundancies - checking whether removing one law aff

As a consumer of these products, one central webapp / native app is extremely appealing (relative to having 8 apps open when I start my workday). Is there a way we could prevent anti-competitive practices while _also_ encouraging servi

seems like a cool, intuitive library. surprised how much discussion time on here was spent on "the name" relative to the framework itself

I think it'll be a long time before something replaces emacs given that emacs is extremely niche and most text editors don't seem to be after the vim/emacs market

I've never needed to use anything beyond pip in my 9 years of programming (science, ML, back-end web development). But maybe things get bad when you move beyond those things. But we'll agree python's dep management is leagues

I wouldnt say "never", but it certainly isn't now but the community is allowed to be excited in growth, albeit small, right?

I wonder if the frequent dropping of features (the primary reason Ive seen people give for their gnome hatred) is part of why it currently looks so amazing. Less features means less to maintain (which is important for an open source, free p

"It confuses us in ways" could be framed: "it makes us rethink and expand our definition of intelligence and human cognition in very interesting ways". Even if it's far from "true human" level (whatever th

I also like brew. The whole UX pipeline is smooth, and I don't mind if it takes an extra 30 seconds to install packages (which doesn't happen often). The brewfile (as someone mentioned) is super convenient, and the fact that I can

So either (a) we're dumb and pathetic, or (b) these issues are more complicated than we give them credit for. For example, even though my personal opinion is that royalty is an abomination, how can I be so sure that the evolution of hu
