It has always seemed obvious to me that high level scripting languages like Python and Lua should be used to configure data structures to manipulate high performance program behavior, not be load bearing.

This is awesome, but my excitement is dramatically dampened by the use of YAML as the query syntax. Gross.
Introducing Bases, a new core plugin that lets you turn any set of notes into a powerful database. With Bases you can organize everything from projects to travel plans, reading lists, and more.
Bases are now available in Obsidian 1.9.0 for early access users.

Every so often I get really sad that I don't, and never have, lived in a tech hub. The internet is a really big place and you can easily forget that there's things happening in the real world that you're excluded from by nature of where you live.
Seattle Tailscale users,

The amount of disinformation in this thread is astounding.
There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?

You know, the email model is pretty good for... a lot of things. Part of me wants to build an instant messaging platform that is (transparently) email, though I suspect email itself is too slow.

And everyone will know that if you're in this round of layoffs, you were probably in the bottom 5%. I would most likely throw out the resume of someone who matched that profile tbh.

Hard to believe that ~2 years ago, Meta had not done any mass layoffs throughout its entire history (2004-2022)
Now it looks to become an annual tradition. What a change.

ADHD executive dysfunction is like those last minute video game patches where they nerf overpowered characters by adding the most random limitations. "You can master any skill you want, but require heroic doses of pharmaceutical grade meth in order to perform the basic tasks needed for survival"
