Fexl Version 00
http://fexl.com/code/
This is a highly preliminary release of a Fexl interpreter written in C. All it does is run a few test cases. I haven't even integrated the parser yet. But in the spirit of "release early and often" I'm letting it out the door anyway so that fans can get a sense of the code and data structures and how to write extensions.

The New Stalemate in Congress: FAA Shutdown
http://chaselanc.com/post/8456605168#notes
While Congress may have temporarily settled the debt crisis, the Senate left for recess before addressing another key stalemate: the financing of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is a key organization that governs most aspects of the country’s airports and air travel safety. Basically, beginning four years ago, Congress has been passing temporary financing measures to keep the FAA afloat. When one plan ran its course, a new temporary fix was put in place. Well the most recent measure expired last month, and a temporary financing plan was passed by the House, but stopped by negotiations in the Senate. There were a few contentious points including: (i) $14 million subsidy for commercial air service to rural airports and (ii) the bill’s anti-union legislation which the GOP claims that major airlines like Delta support. Essentially, it looks like Senate Republicans are willing to shut down the FAA in order to get its union-busting language through.

The result of all of this is that 4,000 workers have been furloughed (fancy word for unemployed at the moment) and airport safety inspectors have been asked to continue working without pay to keep airports operating safely. While most people might consider this a ridiculous ask, the FAA administrator, Randy Babbitt, asserts that the inspectors should definitely work without pay, as "we are depending and living on their professionalism at this point." In addition to the temporary unemployment, if this stalemate lasts until labor day, analysts estimate that it will cost the government up to $1 billion in lost tax revenues. Each day, the government is losing $30 million. The fact that a $14 million subsidy could be holding up a deal that is costing the country $30 million a day seems a bit odd. In a time when government leaders are preaching cost cutting and curbing spending, another reckless stalemate that is costing this country financially should be enough to force a deal as soon as possible.

ngTranslate - Translations in your AngularJS app
https://github.com/PascalPrecht/ng-translate
Hey everyone!

A few days ago I started developing a module for angular.js apps to translate the app content's. There are still a lot of things to do, to make this module uberspectacular, but you can already use it in your apps.

After publishing this module the first time, it turned out that there are already similar modules on the web (which I didn't know of). I took a look at them and each is following a different approach. Nevertheless, I kept developing my module since its following another approach and which currently fits to my needs.

It'd be great if some of you guys find this interesting and want to help out :) Pull requests are very welcome!

Cheers!

Show HN: ShopMe – Combine all of your e-commerce wishlists into one
https://www.getshopme.com
Hey everyone!

My name is Jerome and I'm the Founder of ShopMe (www.getshopme.com).

Originally, ShopMe was an app that let you scan items in physical stores and it would tell you if you can find that item somewhere else more cheaply. After some feedback though, we found out that the biggest problem of our target users is managing their wishlists.

74% of people who buy online maintain some kind of wishlist to keep track of things that they want to buy but they end up creating too many lists across multiple sites. There's no easy way for them to consolidate it so they forget items and lose out on deals.

We (re)built ShopMe to address just that. You can create a universal wishlist - add individual items via product links or barcodes and even import WHOLE wishlists from most major ecommerce sites (just make sure they're public). Get price drop notifications and when you're ready to order, just put it in your ShopMe cart and order with one click (even with multiple items across different sites).

We were in private beta for a few months but we just launched on Product Hunt. If you're the type that has multiple wishlists, do try it out!

How to bootstrap engineering process in your startup
http://www.opinionatedbastard.com/2013/08/engineering-processes-how-to-bootstrap-good-process-in-your-startup/
"Ok, so you’ve got a small technology company and you’ve hit that threshold of about 4 people where it becomes glaringly obvious that you need to institute some process. Or perhaps your engineering team is smaller than that, but you realize that if you don’t spent at least a minimal amount of time on planning your work, you’re going to spend a lot more time doing the wrong work, the less important work, or delivering the wrong thing.

This article will help you bootstrap some minimal processes that will enable you to be much more effective. It should be enough to carry you to the point that you have to split engineering into multiple groups at about 10-20 people."

Physicists use supercomputer to crack 140-year old puzzle
Since the dawn of civilization, metallurgy has determined the fate of powerful cities, states and empires. Blacksmiths have harnessed the power of heat to melt simple metals that would then be cast into hard, sharp and shiny alloys. By changing process conditions, such as rate of cooling and composition can lead to new materials with dramatically different mechanical properties, such as extreme ductility, ultra-high strength or enhanced magnetism.

In 1879, Nobel-prize winning physical chemist Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald discovered that liquids often freeze first into temporary (metastable) structures before converting into their final, most stable equilibrium phase. This so-called “Ostwald step rule” has been a fundamental mechanism for the study and synthesis of new materials and is a textbook principle that all physicists learn in school. But the details of how this might occur at the atomic scale have remained a mystery.

In recent <a href="https://www.newswise.com/articles/scientists-shed-light-on-140-year-old-challenge-in-chemistry-and-physics">ground-breaking research</a>, published in the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2017809118"><i>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</i></a>, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists report on a new mechanism of freezing that provides an atomistic view of Ostwald’s step rule and alters the fundamental understanding of nucleation at high pressure. By <a href="https://youtu.be/V_MATvJClOg">simulating the motion of the atoms</a> using the NVidia Volta V100 GPUs of the Lassen supercomputer, they found that the crystallization process happens in the way Ostwald observed, but that there are additional new pathways that occur when the pressure is increased. The discovery of these new rules for freezing in metals opens the door to using high pressure to synthesize new types of materials, with unusual properties engineered through high-performance computing.

Minecraft server event analytics on Mixpanel

Show HN: Auto-scaling worker pool library, using Go 1.18 generics
https://github.com/cmitsakis/workerpool-go
I recently published a new worker pool library that uses generics.

Generics allowed me to design a different API from other libraries. Instead of submitting a function for each task (as other libraries do), you submit values. This enabled me to make the pools connectable into pipelines, which can be useful if you want to separate IO-intensive from CPU-intensive tasks, or tasks of different parallelizability.

It also supports auto-scaling (resizable number of workers), which currently works well for my needs, but has a lot of room for improvement, especially in the case of pipelines with bottleneck.

Type Pool[I, O, C any] has three type parameters, but if you don't need all of them, I offer constructors that hide some of those types (by assigning them to empty struct).

I would appreciate your feedback.

Y Combinator Startup School London
http://startupschool.org/?london=true
Today is startup school, and whilst Weave exists to allow networking, I figured that there may be some use in a HN thread to allow community note-taking and discussion.

As the majority of people attending use HN, this seems the best place for it.

See you all later.

Analyzing FizzBuzz Performance on Java and Scala
http://www.jramoyo.com/2013/06/analyzing-fizzbuzz-performance-on-java.html
Recently, I attended a technical interview for a Java developer role. The first problem that was given to me was to solve the FizzBuzz test.

Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”.
