0xbadf00d | 5 years ago | on: Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method
So there does seem to be a recent Hype-train around improved note taking and Zettelkasten in particular.
I would 100% echo the timesink/tarpit comments insofar as unless you have a specific learning or knowledge management goal devoting time to this can be a fun procrastination game.
Many of the sources rate the book "How to Take Smart Notes" by Sönke Ahrens as a starting point (ISBN10 1542866502 , ISBN13 9781542866507)
There are a plethora of youtube channels and Productivity websites to be found so YMMV, I liked:
Bryan Jenks' - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5fd4SsfvECy0zzf8Cyo2...
Justin (Effective Remote work )- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkzyo69rqBoBJUyQ9jo53Bw/vid...

Project is here:
https://github.com/gamozolabs/chocolate_milk
I found it pretty fun and educational to watch as a Rust N00b.

I’m trying to understand the alternative - let contagion continue unchecked and overwhelm medical services?
0xbadf00d | 7 years ago | on: Using rope physics to simulate cabling a data center in VR
That was uncomfortable watching - having been responsible for data centers in a past life my nightmares were haunted by those with no, or worse, little knowledge re-patching critical infrastructure.
0xbadf00d | 7 years ago | on: Beans Were an Ancient Egyptian Emblem of Death
This reminded me of an article I read about the "Pythagorean" diet which not only excluded meat but also beans. Can't find the exact citation but summary with https://brooklynbrainery.com/blog/pythagoras-the-superior-ve... content here:
0xbadf00d | 8 years ago | on: The History of Video Synthesizers
On the subject of Video Synths - Teenage Engineering have a preview of their OP-Z:
https://www.teenageengineering.com/products/op-z
Based on their previous offerings I am very excited to see how this turns out (and a little worried for my bank balance)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Ants?
0xbadf00d | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are your favorite podcasts?
http://packetpushers.net/ - great podcast for network-related industry news & opinion.
Nice mix of useful information and personality bombast.
0xbadf00d | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What language-agnostic programming books should I read?
I would recommend "Sorting and Searching" Volume 3 from Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming". Fantastic, in-depth read.
0xbadf00d | 8 years ago | on: The Algorithms Behind Moana’s Animated Ocean
Along similar lines there was a fascinating video about modelling different types of snow for Frozen which goes into some detail about the Material Point Method (MPM) algorithms:
0xbadf00d | 9 years ago | on: CRISPR used to genetically modify viable human embryos for the first time
I would agree that this is a significant milestone - however I would have thought that there's still a large amount of randomness in protein expression meaning you would still be painting in "broad strokes" as opposed to granular detail of traits.
0xbadf00d | 9 years ago | on: User-space networking with Snabb
Very exciting topic - I would be really interested to see how various features such as Link aggregation (LACP) and Spanning tree protocol would be implemented within the framework.
0xbadf00d | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What're the best-designed things you've ever used?
Minaal Backpack - https://www.minaal.com/
I got the version 1.0 with kickstarter and have used it almost daily ever since. Lovely bag with thoughtful design for daily work use or as a weekend bag.

Very Nice Video - One of my favourite sub 5 minute explanations is Oliver Humpage's @ Ignite Bristol circa 2011:

Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
0xbadf00d | 9 years ago | on: Amazon and Google fight crucial battle over voice recognition
Without having any "hands on" (or off) with either of these devices - Can anyone tell me if there is any training data held locally on either of these or do all voice commands get sent to Amazon/Goolge for parsing centrally?
0xbadf00d | 9 years ago | on: Bootstrapping a SaaS Startup from Scratch
What a refreshing read, it came across as authentic advice with actionable points - I feel that the "value your own time above all else" and "prepare to be wrong" are all too often missed in the more glitzy & glamorous "I make n$$$ per month" posts.
0xbadf00d | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is the best Hackintosh laptop for ios app developers?
I would say a good start is tonymacx86 - Hugely valuable resource fro all things hackintosh:
0xbadf00d | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is the best email you got from a recruiter?
You're hired at the market rate you specified :)

Not sure about an army, but I think the point is that they are actively consuming a public service more often because they have cut their own costs, instead of paying for a deterrent themselves.
