Ask HN: “Best” Functional Language for the Web (key on Performance)
Hey. I'm planning on developing a free web game as a hobby project. The game will have quite a lot of calculations as it will rely heavily on fractal generation, pseudo variants and other forms of generation on the fly. But without going to much in details (as I'm still in the early prototyping phases) I would like to know what these days the best functional language for the web is?

I only ever do web development for hobby projects, as I'm a developer for personal computers and embedded systems in my professional time. I like to develop in Functional Languages as It fits best with how I think and come up with solutions for my problems. Besides one web project that I developed with Clojurescript I don't have much experience with functional languages for the web though. Which brings me to the question...

What functional languages do you recommend for the web? Clojurescript, Elixir, Erlang, or another one? Key elements I look for is completeness of libraries available and performance.

Thank you upfront.

How Can Leadership Training Eliminate the Culture of Entitlement?

The culture of entitlement is likely one of the issues that can take place inside of an business which is not beneficial. This particular perception is heightened whenever another person really think that he or she merits something due to the fact he or she is working on the corporation.

Show HN: Airlist – A Native Outliner for iPhone and iPad
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airlist-notes-tasks/id1572580423
Hi everyone, just excited to share something I created and is now on the App Store. I love using outliners, but was frustrated by what existed, so I made my own.

Airlist is 100% native, built with SwiftUI. It syncs across iOS, and the web (Mac app coming soon), has built in nested (AND/OR) filters, dates, tags, backlinks, dark mode, drag and drop, and a lot more.

It’s free to download and try: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1572580423

Show HN: Eyetem – Trade neighborhood crime information for crypto rewards
https://www.eyetem.com
We decided to completely rethink the way that neighbors organize and interact with each other and law enforcement to address crime. One of the biggest challenges that we’ve heard from our neighbors is that it can be difficult to communicate privately and safely with others about ongoing issues (e.g., identifying people, vehicles, etc. that are responsible for crimes or other issues in the neighborhood). People will often tell us that they want to help, but they are concerned about their safety and feel the hassle of getting involved is just not worth it. Other community apps today require personal information at sign-up (email, phone, etc.), so we decided to do away with that. And, with our app, people can receive crypto rewards when they share information that helps each other and law enforcement.

Big picture, Eyetem is a mobile app that incentivizes neighbors to anonymously share local information that can improve their community, while also protecting their privacy. Think of it like NextDoor, Ring, or Citizen offering crypto-rewards for valuable information AND not requiring users to hand over their personal information just to chat with each other. Our focus is less on live-broadcasting crime information as it happens and more on creating the right incentives (anonymity + crypto rewards) for neighbors to help law enforcement and each other gather and reconstruct the type of information needed to solve crimes. There has been very little innovation around how law enforcement can make it easier and safer for people to get paid for sharing the types of information they are seeking. With Eyetem, we are trying something completely different and have live crime data in Washington DC, San Francisco, and Los Angeles today.

We would love to get your feedback on the app. Thanks!

Water Weight Facts that will Drain Down some Misconception about Weight Loss
http://healthyahoo.net/weight_loss/water-weight-facts-that-will-drain-down-some-misconception-about-weight-loss.html
What's water weight and how does this have an effect on your actual weight? ten items about water weight that can allow you to turn into more conscious about your diet and health.

You’ve most likely heard of the phrase “water weight” many times before, but what exactly is this and how does this impact your real weight? right here certainly are a few fast facts about water excess weight that you ought to know about.

1. Water excess weight is the excess weight you shop in your body temporarily the moment you drink water, eat salty foods, fruits, sugar and other forms of food. It does not necessarily add up to your current body excess weight as you lose the water excess weight when you pee, sweat, or when you do your day-to-day business in the bathroom.

2. When you cut down your calorie intake whenever you go on a low-carb diet, you lose excess weight quickly but do not be misguided as you are losing the water weight, and not the specific weight. Likewise by going towards the sauna – you just lose the water weight, which you gain it all back the moment you drink fluids.

3. As easy since it may be to lose the water weight, some water receives absorbed by your body tissue and cling to it, which affects your all round body weight.

4. Too much intake of processed foods which are substantial in sodium makes it hard for the body to flush down the sodium, which makes your body become thirsty enough to want to maintain on towards the water. This does not necessarily become lasting excess weight since it is still considered water excess weight but it will make you appear bloated. To lose the water retained by sodium in your body, merely decrease your consumption of foods substantial in sodium. Salt is okay if not needed by your body, but there must be balanced.

5. By hydrating yourself and consuming enough water everyday, you inform your body that it will have enough water supply continually and forces it to lose the water stored in your hands, feet, and other areas in your body that make you appear bloated.

Show HN: Immersive Communities a Social Media Platform for Content Creators
https://immersive.community
Hi everyone, I’m Mario, the creator of Immersive Communities.

I’ve been working in my spare time as s solo-developer on this project for the last 4 years and finally completed it last month.

Immersive Communities is a social media platform for content creators where they can create and monetize their own communities and collaboratively write articles about their interests. Each community can be monetized with Member Subscriptions and Self-Service Ads. Payments have been implemented with Stripe.

A user can register a community from the main page and it will be available on the subdomain of his choice. I chose the PWA-first approach so each community is installable on desktop or mobile and behaves as a full-screen app.

Feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

Ask HN: What ads would you like to be shown online?
Granted this is an odd question and most of us would probably say no to ads in general.

But unless we want to start paying $5 for access to this newsletter, another $5 for another subscription and so on and so forth, ads on websites will be a standard way to generate revenue.

Now with all the privacy and user data that has been pillaged over the years, poor performance from an ad spend perspective and consistently poor delivery of remarketing ads we are essentially living in an era of a cesspit of ad options.

Curious to know what HN prefers when visiting websites:

- Do you prefer targeted ads OR website theme relevant/related ads (more discovery focused)?
- Is it preferable to have clearly visible ads or less intrusive such as Google Ads and Quora which effectively blends in with organic results?
- Text-based or image-based ads?

Having spent 8 years working across the marketing 'stack' one thing for sure is that ad-tech needs improvements for both the website user, owner and advertiser too.
IPhone case rehabilitation
http://hackaday.com/2010/03/03/iphone-case-rehabilitation/
[Richard Cabrera's] iPhone was scratched from years of use. A big part of the appeal of Apple products is the dose of sexy that comes with them, so he set out to remedy this abomination. His iPhone case rehabilitation guide walks you through the miraculous transformation. One of the tools he uses is a headlight lens restoration kit from 3M because its polishing pads include graduated levels of grit for the transition from rough sanding to buffing. As you can see, the logo and text have been buffed off but that’s a small price to pay for what looks like a shiny new device.
