And whoever posted it put a second slash at the end of the URL, apparently to trick the HN system into allowing it to be posted again. I’m not saying I care, I’m just pointing out that it seems like that’s what was done, because I believe you can only post a link again after a certain time has passed.
I think one reason Dendron (and generally PKM topics) resonates on HN is because fundamentally, we haven't figured out "information architecture for humans"
I would complement your knowledge management platform with a passive way to reference previous content. Save every paragraph of text that is being read/written and implement semantic similarity search. For example you could use a Hugging Face model and an Approximate Nearest Neighbor index.
Then integrate this search with an extension on top of your regular search engine, such as Google. Bonus if it logs across all apps, not just the web browser, and if it implements semantic and source based blacklisting to control what is being logged, for privacy.
This is complementary to your approach because manual logging is hard and slow while passive logging + semantic search can follow everything. It will be like an external memory.
I can only assume, but I'd think of cases where you write a workaround for a specific library or environment and then comment with something along the lines of
// Have to do this because of other-project#122
workaround();
Once that issue is resolved you'd see this as a warning/error notifying you that this workaround is no longer necessary. This would be helpful as often these workarounds just get forgotten over time and no-one really knows if they're still necessary or not.
Again, I'm assuming here, the npm page doesn't give much info.
I'm French but have everything in English (system, browser & YouTube). I've seen a lot of French YouTube videos with their title auto-translated in English a couple of weeks after their diffusion.
(Bad for two reasons: (1) badly translated titles, sometimes hilariously so, and (2) the algorithm recommends me videos I have already watched. I guess (2) is because I don't usually watch the last 20 seconds, the static "my last video was", whatever it's called, so YouTube must think I haven't watched the video. Most times, the red gauge below the video thumbnail shows half-full even though I've watched the video minus these 20 seconds. There's still room for improvements...)
My personal use case does not evolve around the metadata that is usually present in the file itself. I'm aware that this exists and that Plex pulls information from there too (see the footnote[1] in the section about Plex). I don't think it makes sense to try and mirror all the metadata in the file metadata, but in the spirit of being configurable and for portability reasons it would make sense.
I planned for adding a provider that would read certain metadata from the file (just like any other tool) as well as possibly also pushing edits back if wanted. Not sure when I get around to that.
I've been working on this project here and there now about 2 1/2 years: Vima. I needed a replacement for Plex as it doesn't serve my needs very well since I wanted to search for more specific data that Plex doesn't allow me to. So in Vima, you can effectively search for any kind of metadata one can assign to a video, automatically creates playlists from these searches and let the system prefill certain metadata for each video. The user is in complete control of what metadata a video can hold and what types they are.
One use case could personal video "asset" management (which is what I am doing) to more easily find certain kinds of videos not by their name, but rather their actual content represented as metadata. This could be for video lectures, youtube channel backups or similar cases where there's a bunch of loosely connected videos. Alternatively it can be used like Plex for movies and shows but it would be lacking the data providers and doesn't have a concept of videos belonging to another.
This is a state that I'd consider V1.0 given the features it has right now are sufficient and it works. There are obviously several additions that can be done (and I hope I can get around doing them) and the design could be polished in many places. But I wanted to get it out there.
Some technical info: I decided to use rails+mongodb for this project because of the dynamic nature of the data. One can add and remove metadata at will, which can be of varying types which makes it ideal for a dynamic language and a document store. I think it worked out pretty well even though I had to leave my familiar lands. I also implemented a stripped down version of the apache lucene query language to allow for proper searching of all the different metadata (internally it gets translated into a mongodb query to execute). I initially didn't want it to be an SPA but over time it is becoming more clear that it would make several aspects easier to use and some workflows faster, but for now I'll just stick to normal templates.
I've been trying this for the last few days so here are my thoughts.
Let me preface that I just came back to iOS after two years android, used iOS 10 for a couple of weeks and now iOS 11. I like the design a lot and specifically the dark theme (as well as the dark icon). The creation process was something that was a little weird on my first try but works pretty good now and I like the presets for time based reminders.
What I would've liked would be some alert or note that told me what would happen with the stock reminders once I allow the required permissions. Because once I allowed access to my reminders from this app I would obviously like for the stock reminders app to no longer notify me since this app now does it. So maybe some heads up for the user once he enabled both access to reminders and notifications to disable the notifications of the stock app to avoid duplicate notificaitions. Nothing big, but something that I had to figure out myself that would've been nice to just be told in the app.
What seemed to be possible in iOS 10 was that you could mark a reminder as done from the notification, which doesn't seem to be possible here. Not sure if that's a limitation of iOS 11 or I've set up something wrong but it's rather annoying to go into the app to mark something as done. At least for how I use the reminders, I just want a quick notification to tell me that I need to go into my standup meeting or that I don't forget to order lunch. Right now I only have the option of "Open" (swipe to right), "View" & "Clear" (swipe to left) while all of them leave the reminder untouched. I would just want the notification to be shown, mark it off from the lockscreen and then go to the meeting or whatever. Again, as far as I can tell, the stock reminders behave the same in iOS11, but would be nice if this could be improved upon somehow.
An idea that I had in my head that I would like to have would be to combine time based and location based reminders into one. For example: "Remind me every weekday at 1PM if I'm at work to grab lunch". It's mostly just a quality of life improvement for me, I don't think it'd be that useful apart from these narrow scenarios so I'll probably just stick with time based for now and just tick them off even I'm not at the location.
Thanks for all the feedback! That’s a good point about turning off the stock Reminders app notifications, I’ll see what I can do.
As for iOS 11 Notifications, you can actually complete reminders from the notification. You can either force touch the notification (on an iPhone 6s or newer), or click View to see the actions for the notification. Complete is one of them, as well as “remind me in 15 minutes”.
That’s an interesting idea about filtering time alerts by location, but as of right now, iOS does not allow that granular of triggers. It’s only location or time for now, but maybe iOS 12 will be different.
I hope you continue to enjoy the app, and please let me know if you have any other suggestions!
Well if the specs get implemented (which they're in the process of) this _is_ valid HTML. Any browser that does not implement these specs just reads them as unknown elements and does nothing.
- Owned by Facebook, I don't want to lose even more personal data than I already have to them
- They made several promises that they did not hold (Stock availability for preordern, price range, controllers)
- The controllers aren't even available yet and kinda make the oculus useless (Vive has great controllers)
- Vive has better room-scale tracking of movement
- Requires at least a 970 (same as for the Vive) and I'm not really wanting to buy a new one since my 780 still holds damn well otherwise
- Already mentioned: Windows only
However my biggest issue with the Oculus is that they want to "VR-lock" games specifically for the Oculus and I think that's the shittiest move they could've pulled. This alone is a no-go for me.
What's the definition of "older browser" here? As far as I know, polymer also uses a polyfill [1] to provide the web components functionality to older browsers.
Polymer 1.0 doesn't use shadow DOM (unless you ask it to). Instead it uses this thing called 'shady DOM', which is roughly equivalent but requires accesses to the DOM to go through APIs.
