Why so many programming languages?
I started getting involved in coding ten or so years ago. I am self taught and, by necessity, became a jack of many trades (Bash, Awk, Javascript, PHP, Java, C, Assembly), but master of none.

I struggle to understand why so there's a flurry of languages seemingly designed to answer a specific need. Ten+ years ago, it was not the case (the purists will likely disagree).

C was well-suited for *nix, Basic for telco, ASM for micro-controller programming etc...Now, you have a need, wait a few months and you'll find a programming language.

Can someone please explain the reason why there is such an excess of programming languages?
Show HN: Binary Serialization with TypeScript
https://github.com/dao-xyz/borsh-ts
Based on the Borsh serialization format I have created an easy to use TypeScript library that lets you conveniently serialize your classes into a compact binary representation. Later, you can deserialize this directly back directly into classes or using other languages, like with the Rust implementation borsh-rs. One of many reasons for using this library compared to using JSON is that you can have messages behave like Rust enums, rather than plain JS object that you have to do type checking with in order to determine what kind of object you are dealing with.

Show HN: AnySelfie – AI Art Seflies for the Masses
https://anyselfie.com
Howdy HN! I had a lot of fun putting myself into different universes (Apollo 11, Hulk, Wild West, Dr Strange) using Dreambooth and Stable Diffusion. I'm curious to see if there is an appetite for this type of entertainment app.

My vision is pre-configured prompts and pre-generating images, so people can explore it like a selfieverse feed. For technical users, I would offer them to download the 2GB model so that can own it and run their own prompts. Long term, maybe open up the prompt UI for technical users.

Another goal was to re-learn Rust. This UI is built in Yew (Rust, CSS, and HTML only) and the backend is in Actix. It has been a great practical project for getting practice with the language.

Thank you for the feedback!

Understanding 50 Million Americans, That Happen To Be Latino.
http://www.altamirano.org/marketing-tools/50-million-american-latinos/
The market is a summary of the current standing of 50 million Americans that are undervalued. The second point deals with why big brands are confused when targeting this market and the success of Yahoo! US Hispanics. The short answer is that they have folks who understand the general market but do not know how to deal with a differentiated market. We need more people who can relate to the market and evolve with it. Next we deal with how to fix it and why The US Latino Market Needs A Better Elevator Pitch. We analyze the fact that Latinos In Power Have A Responsibility and we are falling behind. We need to band together and claim our rightful place in the new and more colorful America. To do this I argue, that we need to focus in business and not so much in politics. Last but not least, I urge you to believe and then act.

Economists' tips for writing

John Chochrane's writing tips for Econ Ph.D students
"May economists falsely think of themselves as scientists who just “write up” research. We are not; we are primarily writers. Economics and finance papers are essays. Most good economists spend at least 50% of the time they put into any project on writing. For me, it’s more like 80%."
Parenting Advice from History's Greatest Entrepreneur

In the book Michael Gelb shows you how to experience and observe things more richly. Gelb writes that Leonardo encouraged his pupils to look so closely at something familiar like the very ground beneath their feet; the grass, twigs and puddles. If they looked at it long enough they could see the most incredible foreign landscapes.

Where are the interesting tech jobs?
I'm getting bummed out with my Silicon Valley tech startup. The business side is going smoothly, but the engineering side is boring me to death. We started off with some cool new technologies, but since then we've constantly been hacking in incremental features and accruing technical debt. I don't see much point in what I'm doing, and I feel like my skills and credentials are going to waste. What scares me most about this is it could be the story of any startup!

Thus I ask you, Hacker News, where are the interesting tech jobs?

I'm looking for something that hearkens back to the better part of my many years in graduate school (intellectually curious open-minded colleagues, the opportunity to work on something new, and the time to do it right), but applied to real problems of known importance, not just whatever my 25-year-old self thought sounded impressive enough to publish.

Is there any Printer that isn't broken and unfixable in less than a decade?
Hey there, I live in Germany and here I need to print a lot of stuff, coupons, government stuff etc. So we had a normal home Epson printer and I just had to throw it away (with tears in my eyes) because the inkpad is dirty and fixing it isn't recommended and it is also locked in the firmware. I don't mind to pay more money, I just don't want to throw stuff away all the time.

I can't believe it is 2022 and companies can't build a fucking printer that you don't need to throw it completely away and just replace the parts that end up having issues. Is a printer such hard thing to make?

Am I crazy? It is hard to believe for me we are progressing as a society when everything is made with planned obsolescence. Shouldn't it be the opposite?

Can't maybe YC fund a company that tries to shift around this planned obsolescence economy? I already had to throw away so many things: washing machines, printers, TVs... so many!

I can't believe we have even reusable rockets but can't build a fucking printer that we can pass to different generations on our family and our future human beings can just replace some parts and keep it going.

HN, I think that together I believe we can change this. TELL ME HUMANITY IS BETTER THAN THIS.

Do you have any recommendations of printers that don't make me throw a few kilos of plastic away?

Thanks HN!
