I recently learned that open burning of plastic waste produces lots of soot that might have a non-negligible effect on capturing heat from sunlight. So there's some causality between plastic waste and global warming.
Re:Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services? on Thursday June 23, 2022 @05:03PM (#31855125)
I'm running a bookmarking site with a specific set of features at kntm.org and am using it since 2014, please join!

I also use OneTab (or similar) to clear up open tabs. I use Pocket just for sending articles to my kobo reader and Instapaper for read-it-later. Also using Materialistic app to quickly save HN articles.

I think the basic functionality of bookmarking will never be obsolete.

Re:Ask HN: How do you keep track of your creative thoughts? on Sunday January 06, 2019 @07:33AM (#18838014)
Index cards, often i want to do a small sketch so pen and paper are best. Make sure to put a date on the cards.

For rewiewing they can be easily clustered and amended.

What's even worse is that even today Belgium fails to realize what a great cultural heritage they have in Paul Otlet's work. The remainders of his collection are dumped in a museum in the city of Mons which completely misses the chance to explain the originality and reach of Otlet's work and ideas.
Yes, .attribute syntax is much nicer than brackets, especially on German keyboard layouts (needs "Alt Graph"). Why can't dicts just support both? Because of the Zen? Also this is an old issue, see Alex Martelli's bunch class recipe on ActiveState http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52308-the-simple-but-han...

The mutate-on-get makes it very similar to how Matlab does its "structs", I'm mostly undecided on that but at times it can be nice.

How does it compare to http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net/ ? Apart from the delta copying the feature list sounds similar. I find the FreeFileSync UI quite usable.
