> "Slightly cleaned-up Java with a bit of syntax sugar"

And C is a "slightly cleaned-up assemble with a bit of syntax sugar". I think kotlin has a lot of features that Java (even Scala an Ceylon) doesn't have, moreover it forces you to use good patterns when programming (it got a lot of ideas of effective java book).

I am curious why do you say Scala and Ceylon have killer features, what are those features that Kotlin doesn't have?

Personally I have used Scala and I prefer kotlin over it, even Java over Scala.

This functionally exists in nz, the uk, australia, where you can claim welfare benefits indefinitely as long as you demonstrate to the system that you're looking for work. (Probably a lot of other places but I don't have direct experience of those). You don't actually have to be really looking of course, you just need to satisfy the clerk at the dole office.

The fundamentals of social structure are so close to the U.S that you have to squint a bit to see the differences.

Yeah it gets abused and it's pretty hard to live on it, but the alternative (as far as a slim moral majority tends to vote) is worse.

As "alternative facts" go, these pale in comparison to "a demonstration caused by an internet video"...
Oh yeah that's fine. Both languages are actually very nice used together.
I think of late one of the problems is that there is a certain dogma within political circles and the media that the body of facts produced by scientists is absolute and irrefutable, when the truth is somewhat the opposite: the body of knowledge produced by science is constantly changing, individual results are continually reevaluated, and theories are compared against each other until there is a preponderance of evidence in favor of one over the others.

I don't want to get too political, but one can't help but wonder if the way science has been talked about in the media has led to a skepticism of academia to an unhealthy degree.

I don't disagree with that, but I do think there's massive improvement waiting to be done on scientific search engines. Not sure if there will be any big breakthrough until computer can read and understand the content of scientific papers to a much higher extent than today though.

As for automation, I think that flexible automation solution shouldn't become outdated so fast. I think automating a lab to a large extent would be the same as automating a kitchen. You need to take thing in and out of storage, in a lab this would usually be different types of freezers, refrigerators, incubators etc., then you do stuff like mixing, slicing, dicing, heating, cooling, shaking, transferring liquids and solids between different types of equipment.

Smaller labs often don't have much automation. There's plenty of labs that don't even have lab robots, even though they do plenty of pipetting. Automated storage solutions are also rare as far as I know. Just deploying existing solutions and making them cheaper would help.

The only way to make thing really programmable though, is to automate everything. One challenge is that most machines and equipment only have interfaces for humans. If you were to place all your equipment in a kind of rack you could have a mix of conveyor belt for moving materials and robot arms on tracks in the roof to do manipulation tasks. Still it would be challenging to operate much of the equipment unless it is rebuilt to have standardized interfaces, but perhaps improvement in computer vision etc could eventually mitigate this. Another challenge is to make lab equipment communicate and compare data in completely different formats etc. There's lots of challenges but building a lab robotics system that can completely replace humans in doing the lab work should be possible even without hard AI and the hardware wouldn't necessarily have to be extremely expensive either.

Show HN: Gurn – A fast way to navigate your web at home or work
Thanks for saying that. I wonder why nature feels that scientists around the world need to read pure fluff which presents speculation as fact. Maybe because they want to bias scientists for or against someone? Science still needs to be blind.
Hi everyone,

My co-founder and I have been working on Gurn for the past 12 months or so and thought it was about time we shared it more widely for feedback.

Gurn is a tool that changes how people find and share information, particularly in the workplace where search engines never quite seem to deliver. It is born out of the frustration we and our colleagues experienced working in large enterprises trying to find things and never being able to. This is a problem that we only see getting worse as information becomes more protected and companies are less inclined to expose data to search engines – leaving only the most open data as searchable.

Gurn works by allowing people to link keywords to URLs. These short words or phrases can then be used to navigate around the web. We believe that people understand their organisations best and Gurn is trying to harness that knowledge and make it accessible to everyone. We talk about it as a sort of people-powered search.

There are a few videos on the website showing how to use Gurn, I apologise - they are all a bit boring at the moment - we will spice them up once we can afford a professional.

A rough guide to how it works:

I can add https://news.ycombinator.com to the keyword ‘hn’ or ‘hacker news’ (or whatever!). Now I can type ‘go hn’ in my address bar and get taken there straight away. It’s as simple as that.

There is a lot more power available - opening multiple websites, searching, collaboration etc and these are shown in the videos. The goal is to put you one step away from wherever you need to be.

We are really keen to get your feedback so that we can make Gurn as useful to as many people as possible.

We’re happy to answer any questions!

Thanks

Some points might be valid it's really hard not to dismiss the whole article when you write things like this:

> The funny part is that, because dependency hell is so ubiquitous in Scala-land (which includes Java-land), we ended up using some of the projects that we deemed too complex for our codebase (e.g scalaz) via transitive dependencies.

First, I've just checked, there are 237 dependencies in my classpath, and it never caused me any issue. Dependency management is a complex problem, but the JVM ecosystem does a pretty good job at it. Binary incompatibilities that are specific to Scala are pretty much non-existent today outside of very specific cases.

Secondly, why use stuff that you deem too complex and then complain that it is? Transitive dependencies are just that, transitive. I have Cats and Shapeless in my classpath and I haven't found yet the need to use them in my own code.
This mentions weak IDE support as one of Scala's pain points, but Go has very much the same problem, and the language is vastly less complex.

The two best IDEs for Go right now IMO are VS Code and the EAP Gogland, but both of them are not yet on par what you get with Java. VS Code has only support for very rudimentary refactoring (renames) and relies on a rather slow horde of external CLI linters (executed on save) to provide code analysis. Gogland has pretty nice refactoring, but its built-in code analysis is still too shallow.

Both will get better, but I can't take the claim that you'd move to Go from another language due to "lack of a good IDE". If you want the best IDE move to Java (or Kotlin, or C#) and never look back.

Huxley is much more relevant than Orwell, today. 1984 is a masterpiece but describes a stalinian totalitarism, which probably belongs to the past.

Bootstrap is fine - frankly it's stuff that should have been the browser defaults already. There's no reason that something like motherfuckingwebsite shouldn't, in a modern browser, look like it would under bootstrap (that is to say, it should have thin but nonzero margins, high-contrast text but maybe slightly off-black on off-white, and any form controls should be bigger than the standard browser ones).

Exactly. "Human rights" should be universal. "controlling your own wealth" is not. Because it implies:

- wealth

- ownership

Those lies were not immediately able to be proven wrong.

But there was serious doubt even if it did not constitute a clear proof. And doesn't this actually make matters worse? An obvious lie about something without much if any consequences versus a somewhat convincing lie about something that affected the lives of millions? To me the former one seems more like a stupid thing to do, the later one seems ruthless, evil or what ever you want to call it.

This is a different issue. Trump is correct that the conflict of interest laws don't apply to him. However the emoluments clause is something else, and most constitutional scholars say that it clearly does apply. This doesn't prohibit conflicts of interest; it prohibits federal employees and office holders from receiving gifts, titles or emoluments from foreign governments. Profits from business with foreign governments would certainly be covered by this, as would beneficial terms on loans and, arguably, things such as building permits. You'd struggle to find a single non-partisan expert who would say that he isn't violating this right now, and even plenty of Republican lawyers agree.

The trouble is that impeachment is the responsibility Congress, and it would be a brave Republican congressman who would vote to impeach a Republican president right now.

Just in the 20th century there were hundreds of what we call 'dictators'.
So it's a relatively common phenomenon.

Some of the common traits that they shared: they got shit done, they were egomaniacs, extravagant, sometimes talked crazy and were obsessed with lies, deception and then spies and enemies.

I agree, PIA is fantastic, been using it for years. Works great on mobile, I use it on my Android phone and iPhone.
Fair enough, terrible wording from my side.
In the absence of any law, yes, it would be legal.

Constitution has a clause that prohibits it for any public official including the president (assuming for the moment that it is the meaning of the emoluments clause), unless Congress specifically authorizes it.

Congress additionally passed a law - 18 U.S. Code § 202 and § 208 - that regulates conflicts of interest among government officials. Its domain intersects with the Emoluments Clause somewhat, but it is not an implementation of the Emoluments Clause. It says that certain actions by people other than the president are illegal. Insofar as it intersects with Emoluments Clause, it is at best redundant (although even then it defines clear penalties, so not really).

But there's nothing in it authorizing the president to receive emoluments. § 202 does contain language excluding certain people from the categories of "government officer" and "government employee", which are the target of § 208; but this simply means that § 208, and prohibitions in it specifically, do not apply to those people. In other words, the law doesn't say anything about them. It most certainly doesn't contain any language explicitly authorizing emoluments. Here, see for yourself:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/208
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/202

If we look at other past cases where the Emoluments Clause had to be dealt with, Congress specifically authorized such things, with clear verbiage to that effect. For example, here's the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/7342

Note the language: "The Congress consents to ..."

There's nothing even remotely similar in the law we are discussing.

The only real question for the courts here is whether receiving payment for goods and services from a foreign government qualifies as emolument or not. The originalist interpretation is in favor of that - this is one of those clauses in the Constitution where the Founders wrote a great deal about why it was there, and it's clear that their concerns were broad rather than narrow (preventing "foreign corruption" of all kinds).
It's interesting that of all these bits of functionality being posted... none of them share the same UI. Seems oddly in-consistent (seeing as its part of Search - their core product - and it wouldn't be an insanely complex task to rectify).
