Trello along with Airtable are invaluable to keeping my life organized.


How do you use airtable? I keep coming across it in comments but would like to hear some personal use cases.


I don't use it any more, I liked but I was using it as a CRM in a role I'm no longer in. At the time there was a consultant running an airtable youtube channel that I found helpful. He has videos titled things like "planning a party using airtable" and also has personal use case examples in some videos with names that don't make that clear eg. the "Using Views in Airtable to Improve Workflows" video is about a system he and his partner use to plan meals and then make shopping lists for them. I recommend poking around his stuff for ideas.

Brilliant, thanks so much for that link!


A couple of big ones I have are:

Video games, movies, books, tv shows I've watched/played or want to watch/play, what platform they are on, if I've bought them already

Brands and blends of tea I've tried, want to try, tasting notes, preferences for brewing amounts and times

Some are just super fancy spreadsheets like serial numbers for expensive electronics I own and when I purchased them.


The "tiger mom" phenomenon was every bit as much in force, as far as I know, during my time in high school during the early to mid aughts.

Honestly, if you're going to be so overly organized (which some people are) this at least sounds like a better way to do it. Might as well have your calendar online and your messages in one place so everyone knows what's going on.


Yeah, I'm a big fan of using work productivity tools for personal stuff too. I personally use Notion and Monday.com lately.


Semi-off topic but is there a curated "best of" list for systems papers like this that anyone knows about, from Google or otherwise?


If you find this, please let me know.


It's funny you mention that, I came here just to post another wonderful remix, "Erlang The Movie II: The Sequel".

That is f'ing brilliant! And I'm no sock puppet.


I am a sock puppet, it blew my sock off


(Psst: That’s the second link I posted.)


Windows has ReFS. From the looks of it, it has some modern features. But I doubt that’ll ever be readable on a Mac.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFS


> The ability to create ReFS volumes was removed in Windows 10's 2017 Fall Creators Update for all editions except Enterprise and Pro for Workstations,[4] which would seem to indicate Microsoft is no longer intending ReFS as a general replacement for NTFS, at least in the near future.


ReFS isn't meant as a mainstream FS. It's a pure storage FS that is meant to specifically work with backup applications for space saving purposes and with Hyper V. You can't even boot an OS off it, and the overhead from the block cloning technology simply cannot be compatible with normal OS usage.


What's the best introduction out there for someone who's never touched M4 before?


Michael Breen has a nice introduction to m4.

http://mbreen.com/m4.html


The GNU manual is pretty good. You can run `info m4` or read it from the links here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/index.html


The default info pager is pretty horrible. I would recommend installing pinfo (usually available in official repos) which is an info pager with user interace similiar to lynx.


I really like the model of Feedbin[1],

Up front no BS business model of "you give us money, we track your rss feeds"

They are even open source too (MIT) [2].

On mobile I didn’t even notice the features page hidden behind that hamburger menu.


On iPad, portrait, the CSS on the features page needs fixing. Things flow incorrectly.


It's very frustrating having all of these tools only support Windows.

Despite all the wonderful work Microsoft has done with CoreCLR, the "IDE" debugger is still only available under a license that only permits use with Visual Studio and VSCode [1] and mdbg is still nowhere to be found for CoreCLR [2].

From what I've gathered, the best you have right now for doing command line debugging is the "SOS" plugin for lldb, which seems to require building the lldb plugin and sometimes even lldb (!!) yourself [3][4].

Not very fun if you're not using Windows.


The “IDE” debugging library fuss was mistaken. CoreCLR supports the same COM ICorDebug API as mainstream .NET but Microsoft have their own private C# bindings library for using it with VS/VSCode. Anybody can generate their own C# bindings, JetBrains already did.

I say this as someone who was using ICorDebug 13 years ago.


Why would they support anything but Windows? Unless it's a bleeding edge tool, it predates .NET Core, and .net Core is still immature.


how does jetbrains rider ide provide debugging then


Jetbrains was using a package provided by Microsoft and blogged that they would soon have to disable debugging of CoreCLR

Read “The Bad News” https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2017/02/15/rider-eap-17-nu...

Also the licensing issue https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/505

Then a week later with the licensing issue still in place Jetbrains implemented their own debugger, on the comments it reads "This is our own debugger implementation." https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2017/02/23/rider-eap-18-co...
