Although a big selling point for Anytype is that it is local-first. My main gripe with Evernote now, is that in its effort to be a collaborative app, there is a lot of network latency for edits on my mobile device. By comparison, NotesNook

I like the Notion and Confluence UIs. Are there tools for importing from Evernote? Does this have mobile apps? And I assume, if I want to back it up somewhere, I can set up a peer that would sync from my devices? A UI specific for journals

Let me see if I understand this. By loading source / internal values, do you mean that the Rebol command substitution works with the AST directly?
634.
by hosh 3y ago
Rebol reminds me a lot of Tcl/Tk, but I can’t tell if that is because there’s a dialect that resembles it, or that it takes inspiration from tcl’s command substitution.

A study of the formalism called Promise Theory will quickly show how that is not true. Autonomous agents -- humans or otherwise -- base their decision on the imperfect information they have. No one has a global, perfect view of everything,

There may not be data to support this, but on the other hand, informal perceptions -- even if unsupported by data -- matters a great deal with products and systems. But I would ask the people living there what they perceive, not just relyin

Well, I can tell you even with beliefs that consciousness (or at least awareness) persists as pure awareness without form can still leave the body with deep, existential dread. With the bees, it’s not necessarily a coping, but also recogniz

There was a HN thread about this within the past three months. Sit outside regularly at the front yard and just start waving hi to everyone.

Just some initial thoughts: - Lots of examples from the regenerative world, including ideas like plant guilds in permaculture - What would resource sharing like this look like in Kubernetes? Going beyond resource limits, but a way for pod t

Compositions of blocks of state may not end up with a more reliable software. Each of state management are controlled by independent processes that may interact with each other (example: horizontal pod autoscalers are not directly aware of

by hosh 3y ago
You don’t use kubernetes. You’re defining desired states for various processes that are collectively called “Kubernetes”. These automated processes maintain things at the desired state, and take action to move things back to the desired sta

I learned k8s the hard way so I am not sure I can point those out. That mindset of not doing anything directly comes from understanding that you are not setting up pods up, but rather, you are setting automated processes up. These processes

> That said, K8s is a very good way to build an "API" between infrastructure and application "teams". It can work very well if the people involved set things and processes up correctly. It can be a nightmare if botche

Until you want to scale and optimize resources. I enjoy working with Kubernetes, but forcing a complex domain into something legible is a recipe for catastrophe. There are quirks, across cloud providers, and this is just another day in Ops,

by hosh 3y ago
I’ve done smaller deployments on GKE and another on EKS, and I can tell you, they are different enough. It’s when you start having to autoscale, optimize resources by instance types, and manage network ingress that these quirks start really

by hosh 3y ago
The essential ideas that Kubernetes exposes concretely are invariant across cloud providers. There absolutely are nuances and quirks that are different for each cloud provider, and unique for the workload you have. However, those same ideas
647.
by hosh 3y ago
I think being able to abstract the cloud providers is secondary to k8s’s ability to self-heal and its modularity. But I think most developers don’t care, and instead, should interact with a platform built with Kubernetes as a foundation.
648.
by hosh 3y ago
K8S is not that complicated. Once you know the big ideas behind it, and how to reason with it, it becomes a very versatile platform substrate. Probably the biggest one is understanding you don’t ever do anything directly with Kubernetes.

How does this compare with NoteNook? (Open-source, local-first)

It is less about productivity and more that AIs have the potential as the ideal employees. No time off. No health care. Operate 24/7. No unions. No work safety concerns. No lawsuits over being unfairly fired. Control over exactly how s

I think crypto was an echo chamber. AI though, struck a nerve because people intuit a killer app. Or more precisely, AI could potentially be applied in many different places. The last time we had something that felt like this was probably t

If authorizations can be described as a policy graph, what about logic programming languages such as Prolog or Datalog? Would Datalog be performant enough at scale? I think one neat thing about logic programming languages is that you can as

Remote work and collaboration requires a very different skillset in order to be effective. So if a company clearly wants to do that (both leadership and staff trying to make things work), it is probably time to bring in a consultant — maybe

To add to that about Slack — speaking is a distinct skill from writing, engaging in different part of the brain. The skills you use for speaking in person does not automatically translates to writing, let alone the various social nuances th

You have to work it even within tech companies. I have been working remote for years before the pandemic made it mainstream. In one of the companies I worked for, I was not the first remote worker. The first person in the company pioneered

Agreed. People have all sorts of reasons to work remote, and it is not always because of walkability: - proximity to family and community support - quality of schools for kids - some people want to live out in the boonies, with a hobby farm

I guess Docker's fuse fs on native is still too slow. I remember one of the options was filesyncing in some way, such as with rsync triggered by inotify.

This goes right to the discussion in the first couple chapters of _Promise Theory_, laying out the difference between a promise and an obligation. An obligation requires global knowledge, whereas a promise is local in scope, necessarily vol
