I really want to like Org mode, but I just can't. The syntax feels too out of place. With markdown it's just a few extra symbols, but using Org mode feels like writing LaTeX in a way.

Same thing with MediaWiki - I love the wiki system but WikiText is just so bad.


Looking at the description, it seems to require purchasing a premium version for the ability to add and modify items on Android, not sure if that's something I would want.


This is true if you download it from Google Play. If you sideload the GitHub APK, you get all premium features for free.


Go for it if ineducable.


i do agree, especially when adding several notes in quick succession the delay is rather bad.


after taking a look at the src[0] it looks like you can share sequences by adding a hash.

the format appears to be a letter A-Z to notate the position, followed by a sequence of numbers for the sounds. ex:

  https://martinwecke.de/108/#A1B2C3D4G123I4
  gives [[1], [2], [3], [4], [], [], [1, 2, 3], [], [4]] where each array is a note and the subarray is the list of sounds played

Rather ironic, although I don't understand why you would want to drink/legalize raw milk.


Because raw milk shouldn't be a controlled substance like cocaine.


Is it Schedule I on the DEA list? If not then I don't understand the comparison.


Milk that enters the food supply from a diary farm to retailers should absolutely be pasteurized, but farms shouldn't be raided by state police if someone wants to accept the risks and come purchase raw milk for whatever reason.


When it comes to getting sick yourself, sure that's reasonable enough. Right now though we have H1N1 in the milk supply, so no I'm not really willing to accept another pandemic. Your freedoms and my freedoms are balanced in tension against each other, and something like a pandemic virus that you can get from raw milk and then spread tips the scales away from your freedoms.

Simple.


It's a fad from those wanting to eat like ancient man.

But because it is a regulation, it has also become a call for "FREEEEEeeeeeddoooomm".

Who cares about germs? Really, people are free to not wash their hands either, but it isn't the smartest thing to do.

100 Years ago when the lack of food safety was killing a lot of people, there was an outcry for laws. Now, laws are viewed as bad, just let me kill myself if I want to.


> it has also become a call for "FREEEEEeeeeeddoooomm"

it's also become a call for "us smart people must outlaw the stupid people"

> Now, laws are viewed as bad, just let me kill myself if I want to

on the other hand, isn't europe sophisticated and progressive for legalizing suicide?


Guess it's intention. If you 'choose' to die. Fine.

Drinking raw milk is more like walking into traffic without looking, maybe you get hit, maybe not, maybe you are injured, maybe dead, maybe your ok.

Yes, a lot of regulations are about protecting stupid people. But also to save some time, not everyone is going to have testing kits laying around and analyzing everything they eat. That would be horribly inefficient to make everyone do their own food testing before they can eat. Sure, smart people can be extra careful, but do you want to have to be extra careful with everything, just in case you are grabbing a grenade every time you open the fridge.


> Drinking raw milk is more like walking into traffic without looking, maybe you get hit, maybe not, maybe you are injured, maybe dead, maybe your ok.

The risk is so vanishingly small compared to traffic deaths that what you’re saying is nothing more than anti-science misinformation.

What’s the rate of deaths or injury?


I'm sure you can find 'pro' studies, there are benefits, and of course there are 'con's, like heaving your guts out.

But to say the risk is 'vanishingly' small is the true 'anti-science' here. Are you anti-vax also? Measles is just a natural process?

""This review describes why pasteurization of milk was introduced more than 100 years ago, how pasteurization helped to reduce the incidence of illnesses associated with raw milk consumption, and the prevalence of pathogens in raw milk. In some studies, up to a third of all raw milk samples contained pathogens, even when sourced from clinically healthy animals or from milk that appeared to be of good quality.""

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4890836/


You've cited whether there's pathogens detected, you could do that with many things and it matters less whether there's pathogens and more whether the food itself is dangerous to eat in practice. It seems to me that you're trying to propagandize and stigmatize rather than seek out relevant numbers: how many deaths have we observed? Illnesses? Severity?

It turns out over 30 years of surveillance, there's been 3 deaths attributed to raw milk and 33 hospitalizations. Compared to any other danger that risk seems minuscule, for proportion, usage is estimated to be 1-2% of the adult population weekly. Has sushi killed more?

> During 1998–2018, health departments reported 21919 foodborne outbreaks and 423 595 outbreak-associated illnesses to FDOSS. Of these, 202 outbreaks (0.9%) and 2645 illnesses (0.6%) were linked to unpasteurised milk (Table 1), including 228 hospitalisations and three deaths. During the same time period, 9 outbreaks (0.04%) and 2133 illnesses (0.5%) linked to pasteurised milk were reported, including 33 hospitalisations and three deaths.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-inf...


Scale? Those using raw milk are a very small percentage of total milk drinkers, and already there are deaths at all? I'll have to go look for total numbers, I do not believe at all that 1-2% of adult population is drinking raw milk.

Perhaps I'm biased. I work in the food industry, and know that corporations want to cut costs, increase profits by any means necessary, including risky practices. And any reduction in regulations is just another step in moving the line in the wrong direction. Try eating some raw chicken, which sounds crazy, but that is the same group arguing for raw milk.

So today, maybe the raw milk movement is being extra careful, give it a few year s and people 'relaxing' their vigilance. Food regulations are there for a reason, because at some point in the past, people were dying. And they will die again if given a chance.

So. Guess, I'm all for options. But there better be some pretty strict 'new' regulations to protect 'raw' milk, to replace the current old 'pasteurized' milk regulations.


Why would you want to ban it?


It requires more care than people expect, so in a sense it's a trouble magnet.


Plenty of things require a lot of care and sometimes more than people expect. Where do you draw the line? Should we ban raw meat? Plenty of people get salmonella after all.

According to the CDC[1]

> CDC estimates Salmonella bacteria cause about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the United States every year.

Why wouldn’t you? I surely wouldn’t drink it but I don’t mind if it’s legal. It’s America baby.

If someone consensually drinks raw milk and gets sick, that’s on them. If a parent makes their kid drink that and the kid gets sick, that is potentially child abuse.

I think the main concern here is some undereducated or easily buying into conspiracy theories/conservative individuals would feed their kids raw milk.

There are lots of things that are not good you that parents give their children and they are totally legal.

I think debating this or trying to fight against it is a waste of time rather than bigger issues.


I mean, hopefully it's legal to buy raw milk in my country (we payed cash so i don't really know), but i totally understand why you would buy raw milk: home-pasteurized milk taste way better than supermarket milk or even farmer's market milk. And you get to keep the creme.

Drinking it though? no thanks.


I drink it.

The drink-by date is best measured in hours. If you're used to keeping milk around for months, raw milk is not for you. It's great, but treat it sloppily and you'll suffer, and you don't have to be very sloppy.


I'm making a WASM browser dungeon crawler game using WebTransport. It currently does not have great support -- namely Safari -- but because of other API incompatibilities I'm not planning on supporting Safari :P

WebTransport is a bit more work than other ones, like SSE, but the flexibility and performance make it work it IMO.


there's a lot of hidden features

for example you can create multiple notes by doing https://blank.page/notenamehere


git? not sure exactly what you're trying to say here, but you could do some stuff with git

have a local repo of your own notes, a hosted repo serving as the communal ref. if you want to make updates, commit and push --, you can cherry pick the sections you want.

i recall seeing something like mediawiki (but it stored articles as plaintext) a while back, you could use that for a web-based portal too


I can relate to this. I've tried to use Postman and Insomnia in the past, but the UI is pretty complicated with a lot of domain specific terms.

Instead, I just hacked together a small Python library, called all the APIs from there, and pushed to Git. Everyone on my team understands it, I have 100% control, and no cloud needed.
