Agreed, even something like "coding" notebooks if brandname usage is a concern would help. It took more time than I'd like to admit to understand that they weren't talking about physical notebooks...
What do you mean there is survivorship bias? That the only image used is the one that survived? Or it survived because it was used?
Something I noticed was that all other jpgs in this site have a lager number in the filename, for example: www.hobbytownoshkosh.com/Dsc00348.jpg
So maybe the crawler that saved this webpage had a limit on how many suburls it would capture and it sorted by name and then stopped at around Dsc00161.jpg, which is the name of the image in question.
Though there is a Dsc00164 that is lost so it seems kind of unlikely...
The filename for sure comes from the camera. My point was that the crawler stopped there and did not pick up the other images on the page because all of them have a higher number in the name and it stopped at an artificial number of sub urls
Posts like these make me wish I could be consistant and keep a single notebook until its done and then move to the next. I always end up starting a project or scibbling down a thought on random scraps of paper. I try to organize and consolidate but really there is not much point after the fact since, if the note is made, transfering it is just busywork.
I leaned into it last couple of years, I have a 2 corkboards (a bit larger than A4 sized) on the back wall of my desk and I actually mounted a stationary clamp under one to have blank papers (A6) handy. It works pretty well until I fill them and move on to another notebook scrap paper etc.
I wish I could stick to a notebook and have everything from each time period but I have too hectic thought process I think. Maybe I could somehow combine them...
I bought a Supernote recently as a note-taking device, and that's worked out really well. It's almost like pen on paper to write on, but I can open new documents freely to make notes in, then consolidate them later because they're all already in one place. The stuff that's just working out or temporary diagrams I can delete later, and the rest I can archive.
On the other hand, I have gone from having a clutter of paper on my desk to having a clutter of notes on my Supernote, so maybe I've just moved the clutter from one place to another. But at least it's now less visible!
Digital notes are not for me, they seem to put up a mental barrier and have tradeoffs that I am not thrilled about. The epaper/e-ink ones have the best battery life, best feeling when writing but the delay when the display changes just halts my thinkin. When changing documents to reference especially. Also the process of changing implements (e.g. from pen to highlighter) in tablets in general just annoys me.
They are awesome for pdf annotation though, If they ever get to be a bit more affordable I would enjoy having one of these just for that purpose (maybe even in color! probably in about 10 yrs).
As i said on another comment: I tried to keep a physical notebook/common-place book, several times, but after a while i just stopped. I like handwriting but since i started using obsidian i don't believe i will return. I'm thinking perhaps of using papers as first draft or impromptu writing, and then final drafts will be stored or transferred to Obsidian.
I already wrote and deleted 3 opening lines to this comment so I think I get where the conclusion is coming from. Maybe it has to do a bit with how much of the piece of writing is finalized or I guess put in order in your head before starting writing it.
I tend to have an abstract, unfinished thought on a subject and just start working it out while typing. Maybe I'm thinking linearly I dont know. But at some point I may hit a roadblock or change my mind and then go back and rewrite most of the previous material. It's why I rarely comment, it takes me a while.
So if this time is included in the writing, when it really is idea formulation and research then the time required to get to 300 words skyrockets.
In the context of a blog, especially if you aim for a certain style,flow etc I guess this is even more prominent. The more time you spent writing for the specific goal the better (an faster) you will get at it I suppose, but still I think some people just have a way of thinking that more robustly tranlates to text.
In the sense that you can link sentences like you link thoughts and get to a conclusion rather via a well articulated piece rather than what I (and possibly the op) get which is a mess of sentences referencing different points in the cognitive process that may just get to a dead end.
Truly an inspired design if that is the case. Also the fact that the rear doors either do not have an emergency release or you have to lift the carpet to get to it is a marvel.
Donald Norman very early in his book "The Design of Everyday Things" discusses door design in modern buildings focusing on the lack and/or ambiguity of signifiers. These vehicles solve the problem just by removing the ability to open them.
"Truly an inspired design if that is the case" - it's not the case.
"Rear doors either do not have an emergency release" - you mean like every coupé ever built? Since when were you protesting coupés? Rear doors not only do not have to have manual releases, but don't even have to exist.
"lack and/or ambiguity of signifiers" - the front manual release handle is not only not ambiguous, but is far more prominent than the electric release button, so most people with no experience with the car pull it instead of the button.
It's also, in all this, noting that modern cars have crash sequences. A crash is detected either (ideally) immediately before, or during its occurrence. A wide range of events are triggered, such as brakes, airbags, etc... and among the things triggered is *unlatching all the doors for easy egress* (the specific details depends on the door design - you want the door easy to open but not to pop out during the crash itself). Now, things can go wrong - the prime characteristic of a crash is that it mangles your car, and this can jam doors shut or cause other problems. This is why the Jaws of Life exists. But prepping the doors for egress is something that cars at least try to do during a crash.
> "Truly an inspired design if that is the case" - it's not the case.
I only read the article and some commenters here saying the windows break. The commenter above provides a reason for it that you say is not true. I stand by my comment, that if it is the case the design is "inspired"
>"Rear doors either do not have an emergency release" - you mean like every coupé ever built? Since when were you protesting coupés? Rear doors not only do not have to have manual releases, but don't even have to exist.
Don't most (all ?) of these cars have rear doors? What do coupés have to do with this? Convertibles don't have a roof but I would expect it in a sedan. If the doors exist there sould be a release that works in the case of this electrcal malfunction.
>"lack and/or ambiguity of signifiers" - the front manual release handle is not only not ambiguous, but is far more prominent than the electric release button, so most people with no experience with the car pull it instead of the button.
I expect this is the case for one model? The article has 2 cases of people that own these cars (a model y I think) and could not find the manual release without reading the manual or calling someone. Moreover the confusion you are describing (using the emergency rather than the regular release button) is exactly what ambiguous signifiers result in. This is a design failure as well.
I agree that unlatching the doors in a crash is a part of the crash sequence in many modern cars but these cases are not about crashes.
Sudden power loss or an electrical malfunction should trigger the unlatching of doors and they seem to not. Jaws of life would not be a prudent way to get out of your car in these occasions.
Did you created this account just to post this dumbass comment ?
2-3 door cars are supposed to be left via moving the front seat. 4-5 door cars DON'T HAVE THAT FUNCTION, THAT'S WHY LACK OF EMERGENCY RELEASE ON THEM IS SO BAD.
There are bios chips on the controller board than need to be transfered to the new one. In a reasonably modern drive that would be pretty challenging and rewuire a hot air station.
I really don't buy it. There is considerably more interest in google trends for ChatGPT compared to StackOverflow. But I dont see one replacing the other. At least for me.
I do not believe the google trend graphs,like "the scariest graph", in this post accurately reflect a decline of SO.
There is a place for AI tools and StackOverflow is not the friendliest of places but the quality disparity between the answers you get when comparing the two is very clear to me.
> This year, overall, we’re seeing an average of ~5% less traffic compared to 2022. Stack Overflow remains a trusted resource for millions of developers and technologists.
[...]
Conversely, in April of this year, we saw an above average traffic decrease (~14%), which we can likely attribute to developers trying GPT-4 after it was released in March.
The Google Trends graph stuck out to me. You're comparing something that didn't exist before December and had broad appeal, to something that people arrive at generally by searching a question. They aren't at all comparable. (I imagine you'd see the same graph if you compared ChatGPT with Facebook. Doesn't mean ChatGPT is replacing social media.)
Agreed. ChatGPT might overtake StackOverflow, but that first graph does not suggest it, because StackOverflow itself remains constant, it doesn't decline in that graph.
