I don't know if it's bad form to do feature requests on HN but having gone through a lot of these note clients (see list [here]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13642527) ) the three-ish features that I'd

I actually saw it but forgot to add it to the list. To be honest nvAlt and Quiver are my two favorite and make me sad that I am on Windows and can't use them. They really don't have any good equivalent on other OS.

I was recently looking for something to replace my Evernote, and this was the list of things I have found during my search: - Any text editor + Syncthing https://syncthing.net/ + TagSpaces https://www.tagspaces.o

If you're ok with Google storing your stuff, I have recently switched from Evernote to simply using the Save to Google Drive chrome extension, and it's very good. It doesn't do the whole "remove the fluff" thing but

You're right, I got the bad habit of skipping blog posts and going directly to the main website when the announcement was the actual news.

Pardon my cynicism, but I don't like the idea of choosing a patient you're going to "spend your money on" as a replacement for a basic universal healthcare. Healthcare shouldn't be a popularity contest. As an additi

Turtl would be great if not for the reliance on a server. I think they do some caching (their settings page has "erase local data") but since it relies on a login anyway it still requires an "always on" connection. I ag

You might be interested by [Laverna]( https://laverna.cc/ ). It's not as full-featured as Google keep but it does work offline and let you encrypt and sync your notes via dropbox, which I find to be more important than p

Change job and relocate, even if temporarily! Devs jobs are plenty, and you should take advantage of it while it's still the case. Working abroad for instance is a good way to get out of your comfort zone and keep on learning.

From experience, Lyon, Toulouse and Montpellier are all around much better places to live & work in than Paris (especially if you are just relocating from another country).

I used to also filter them out to a folder with no unread tag until I realized that I missed quite a few free ebooks that O'Reilly was offering. Since then I still have them in a folder but I go mark it read once a day to make sure I d

We have the same in France, called "alternance" degrees. It's either like you describe 6 months studying, 6 months working or something more short term. You can get into something like that from your third year to your master

Thank you for this. I have been wanting to build something like this for a long time, and never got around to do it, and you made it better than I would have done anyway. As for the import, could you link it to Google Scholar profiles?

It depends on how you define "programmers' fault". In this case it would more a case of needing more training data to correct the mistake, which may or may not be the programmer's fault.

It contains way more fat and carbs than protein. Fat and carbs are already cheap and plenty (just pick up a bag of crisps) everywhere around us, so if you try to replace one of your meals by something like this you might as well go for some

But the micronutrient selection is only relevant if you only consume Soylent, and most people here seem to be saying that they only consume some Soylent products in replacement of a couple of meals/when they don't have time. So if

I am as puzzled as you, especially if the taste is as bad as you say. There is one industry that has already been focusing on making "healthy" stuff taste good for the past decades: the fitness industry. Why not just go for a good

But why not go for a protein bar then? Quest bars for instance are delicious (I'd even prefer them to a candy bar), and pack a far more interesting macro profile than the Soylent ones.

But being able to hold a conversation (and thus passing the Turing test) does not make anyone or anything capable of "infinite" self-improvement. As a matter of fact, we don't know what does, and I doubt that it's just a

That doesn't make any sense. Just because a bot can pass for a human doesn't make it capable of improving itself into a superintelligence. Evidence: 6+ billion humans who are capable of improving themselves but are not a superinte

The fact that you seem to think that having a company facebook + twitter + medium + instagram pages is more important than describing your product and making me want to try it is a bit worrying.

That's certainly my biggest disappointment so far with the Google Assistant, even though I understand that they will improve it with time. I wish it was at least better integrated within the Google ecosystem, so that I can interrogate

I don't know if making replication a "grad student chore" that you need to get through is a good way to remove the stigma behind "wasting" time replicating other's people scientific results instead of building

Not only battery life, I would really like for my laptops to not potentially start a fire because I decided to run something CPU intensive and some dust got into it.

I agree with you, while they are far from the optimal to consume something there is always some need for alternative ways of learning, if only to address the variety of people who would like to learn. I find that I retain content better whe

I hope you plan to have an API or release datasets, as this kind of data would be very appreciated by researchers working on news information retrieval and processing.

Is the server part very important? It would be great as a self-contained javascript app that I can store on dropbox and sync between devices.
