it's all already known
Revolut refused to help with a dispute. They rejected it after like 2 hours, first claiming they contacted the seller, which it turns out they did not.
Then they claimed my evidence was incorrect, without any opportunity to correct.
And finally in their complaint system they completely refused to look at any of the evidence and sent me a generic refusal letter that referred to me by the wrong name.
All this despite other banks successfully handling chargebacks for the thing in question. Sad.
I'm less afraid of people using LLMs for coding well than I am of people not caring to and just shipping slop.
This is the browser engine I was alluding to in the post: https://github.com/wilsonzlin/fastrender
The future you describe seems closer to the "Carol from Accounting" future I am hoping for in the blog post. My worry is that cost of everything goes down just enough to price out of existence all of the artists the 0.1% used to commission, without actually letting all of humanity do the same.

Pro 1x also has pretty solid Droidian compatibility, so it can run a full on Linux.
Every tech CEO loves to cosplay as "announcing the iPhone" 2007 Steve Jobs but nobody ever tries to cosplay as the "pulling Apple back from the brink by focusing on core competencies" 1997 Steve Jobs.

Update - YES. Misaka26, enabling Stage Manager through it enables external display support on my non-pro iPad.
Has to be software, given that the non-Pro iPads can mirror the internal display or play video full screen.
Would there even be a Pebble reboot if there wasn't a community around the watch and projects like Rebble?
Can this be used to enable multiple display support on iPhones/non-pro iPads? Would be pretty damn cool if so.
This website is called Hacker News.
Nice, glad they're actually adding more fox and not less fox. I remember that foxless rebrand they had to walk back a little, it was lame.
>In October 22, the sumobot was introduced to Japanese KB articles. I cannot accept its behavior and no words. [...] It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications.
How exactly did you manage to place the blame for no communication on Japanese contributors here given the actual complaint in question?
Specifically from a HOBBYIST perspective, what bothers me about the App Store is not even the 30% thing, but just... the pain of it all. The rejection horror stories, the "Apple told me to change my app's entire model" stories, the "I can't put this little gadget specifically for me and my family on the App Store" problem, and so on and so on. There's really no home but the web for silly little things.
It's so frustrating that most man pages explicitly go out of their way to avoid having examples or answering "how do I X" questions.
YouTube recommendations are always so rage-baity for me to the point where I blocked them entirely.
Can't look up a movie or a gadget without getting a thumbnail with big red letters saying that the thing sucks, this despite me avoiding review/reaction content like the plague.
Your Claude Code actually respects CLAUDE.md?
Japanese Amazon shipped me a fake copy of a book once, with terrible print quality to the point of having overlapping text. They did refund me, but my review calling it out as fake was removed.
It's an interesting idea - sadly the problem with it is that there's no way to add these tags to other kinds of files that don't have frontmatter. Not sure how to best to deal with it. Right now I'm leaning towards having some vault-specific storage for it.
Hmm... Not a fan of that approach. Would mess things up for my personal use case, at least, making the names less nice. I'm leaning on having some sort of a vault-specific database tracking existing codes across renames as an addition to the existing mechanism. I actually do like the idea of adding tags in the frontmatter, but then it'd become impossible to tag files and folders.
If only we had resource forks.
As for inspiration, I'm not really much of a note-taking system person. My system is just hyperlinking lots of notes together: https://ezhik.jp/hypertext-maximalism/ - this little plugin just helps with that outside of my vault.

Let me know how your version goes - would love to see it.
I keep a paper journal and refer to my Obsidian notes once in a while.
That's a good point. I'll consider it for the next version.
Being too lazy to write out the whole file name :)

Thanks for the feedback! I guess this plugin is a bit specific to how I use Obsidian [1], as I don't rename my notes quite as often as others do.
As I mentioned in the post, my main use case is being able to quickly reference notes in my hand-written journal. I've also used it a few times in some personal shell scripts.
Probably not a very useful plugin if you already live entirely in your Obsidian vault, though - in there good old [[wiki links]] are much more useful.
I've left a few comments so far on the rename problem, but yeah, it's a hard one to solve. I'll try to think of ways to improve it.

I specifically tried to make this mostly Obsidian-agnostic - the algorithm to generate these note codes is very simple and only requires the note's path relative to the vault.
Here's the whole algorithm in Python:
import hashlib
def hash_string(s):
h = hashlib.sha256(s.encode()).digest()
n = ((h[0] << 16) | (h[1] << 8) | h[2]) % (32**4)
a = '0123456789ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRSTVWXYZ'
r = ''.join(a[n // 32**(3-i) % 32] for i in range(4))
return f"{r[:2]}-{r[2:]}"
