"Numerous epidemiologic studies and comprehensive reviews of the scientific literature have evaluated possible associations between exposure to non-ionizing EMFs and risk of cancer in children (12–14). (Magnetic fields are the component of non-ionizing EMFs that are usually studied in relation to their possible health effects.) Most of the research has focused on leukemia and brain tumors, the two most common cancers in children. Studies have examined associations of these cancers with living near power lines, with magnetic fields in the home, and with exposure of parents to high levels of magnetic fields in the workplace. No consistent evidence for an association between any source of non-ionizing EMF and cancer has been found.

Exposure from power lines. Although a study in 1979 pointed to a possible association between living near electric power lines and childhood leukemia (15), more recent studies have had mixed findings (16–24). Most of these studies did not find an association or found one only for those children who lived in homes with very high levels of magnetic fields, which are present in few residences."
I remember in 1993-1994 playing Cosmic Osmo on a Mac. All the old pre-Myst Cyan games (Manhole, Osmo, Spelunx) were basically HyperCard stacks, which didn't directly allow for any but the crudest animation. But Cyan had integrated MacroMind VideoWorks, which later became Macromedia Director, into Osmo. The effect over other HyperCard stacks was striking. You could actually play little minigames in the Osmo world.

Then I went off to college the next year and found out about the whole "web" thing, and again everything was flat and mostly static. Then Macromedia Shockwave and Flash and Java came along, and it was just like Osmo vs. Manhole, only more so. For a long time, your browser install wasn't complete till you had Java, RealPlayer, Shockwave and Flash installed (and later, QuickTime).

(For nostalgia purposes, Steam has all the Cyan games from Manhole on up as a bundle; you can also play the original Manhole/Osmo/Spelunx in the SheepShaver emulator if you can get hold of firmware plus OS and game discs.)
> Coroutines are lower-level [than M:N threading]

Not sure I understand what you're trying to say here, this sounds exactly backwards to my reading. A green threading library can be written in assembly language with no reference to anything but the hardware ISA specification and the ABI that defines the relevant calling convention. It's as "low level" as a software construct can be. The only lower level implementation I can think of are hardware-assisted context switching features like you see on some embedded architectures.

Coroutines, on the other hand, are artifacts of the language runtime and depend in sensitive ways on that whole stack. Much higher level.
Yeah, the thing to be said about petrol sports cars is that they have poor acceleration.

BTW there are all-electric busses available in the market. Stanford has a fleet of them from BYD, and there's also an American manufacturer, ProTerra. I've been stuck behind one of the BYD busses and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it accelerated.

When I read "web development" in the title, I thought more along the lines of developing the web, as a singular, cooperative, world-embracing entity, rather than simply building yet another web site that tries to compete with every other using traditional business models.

I am trying to do much of the same kind of work on the client-side, in order to really start putting this kind of stuff to work. My site is called "Linux on the web" (at https://linuxontheweb.org) which I call a "world operating system". The goal is to bring general computation back to the client, in a very big way. On the architectural/systems side, I'm really looking forward to putting WebAssembly+Machine Learning together with hardware APIs like WebBluetooth and WebUSB.

These kind of sites can really help with the content side of things, so very big thanks indeed :)
I don't use one ... I am fine with sitting as long as I workout regularly. That means I'm definitely doing squats or leg press as well as upper and lower back exercises. I need this not only to tire me out so I don't get restless sitting but also for posture and support. Eat little or no lunch -- light salad or soup or just yogurt and fruit -- to avoid fatigue and digestive troubles.
I realize, you know, just being a jerk on the internet.

I built a standing desk[1] about 3 or 4 years ago that I used exclusively for most of that time.

For me the purpose was actually to relieve arm pain, because when you rest your arms against anything for extended periods of time, it aggravates the nerve and causes long-lasting pain from your fingers to your elbow and sometimes higher.

Overall I found it pretty helpful, not because I'm standing all the time, but because it encourages me to move around more (shift legs, walk away and come back, etc) which keeps me from being in a bad posture for too long at once.

The thing cost probably $250 to build out of parts from Menard's, using four 4x4s for the legs and a butcher block for the top, and some metal to keep them together. I'm not a handy guy so assembling it was too confusing and difficult and I almost swore I'd never build anything again in my life. But I'm glad I have this thing.

Salaries overall in the UK are comparable to the US (similar median), but programming falls at a different place on the salary curve. In the US, programmer is among the highest-paid professions, often earning 2-3x what would be a typical salary in other white-collar, professional jobs. In the UK that's not the case, and programmers earn just a typical white-collar salary that you'd earn in any job that requires university-level qualifications (or equivalent experience).

Unlike the US, I don't believe there is much of a perception of a "STEM shortage", which may be a contributing factor. Programmers are just not seen as particularly hard to find, at least no more than any other skilled profession. Especially after the fall of the Iron Curtain, which brought in a lot of highly skilled STEM folks into the common market.
From the article:

I think this feature might have helped people who are slow at typing.

May be off-topic, but I remember an incidence from Home Depot when I asked a staff member to look something up for me. She pulled up a browser (think it was IE), typed google in the nav bar (perhaps to get to google.com) and got the bing search result for search term 'google'. Then she continued on to use the bing search to look for Home Depot's site (I assume she was thinking she is searching on Google).

I didn't get what I was looking for, but I did leave wondering about use-case or user interaction scenarios like this that I would have never thought of.

Yeah, I think that Instant Search must have had its value for people, even if not much for me.
Show HN: HearInsights – Automatic Notetaker
TL;DR Moderation on HN is a black box and is scary and not comforting (hence unwelcoming a little bit?)

Details:
I feel like there's an undercurrent of heavy handed moderation here. Replies get detached, deleted, and no one would know unless you really looked.

PS:I'm not saying these forums aren't vulnerable to abuse. They're and should be moderated (I guess), but make the moderation visible and obvious, is what I'd say.

My worry is if and when I step over to the wrong side of the (imaginary) line that the mods have drawn in the sand, my replies or posts here would be doomed, pushed out of existence and visibility.

Mods also do appear snappish here based on the few replies that I've read.

All of this seems anecdotal. The question did say "feel". I'm not going to bother collecting evidence because don't think this topic would get that much attention (it should though)
I live in the Boston area, and the number of days where studded tires would make a difference is small enough that it's not worth the hassle. I ride every day, and I've never bothered. It doesn't take very long to get a good sense of what speeds your tires will handle in bad weather.

A more appropriate lesson to learn from FreeBSD 5.0 would have been "don't use releases which are cut from HEAD and announced as being for 'early adopters'". The FreeBSD 5.x stable branch started at FreeBSD 5.3.

I hope Github introduces this to the main code browser as well, not just PRs.

I very often clone repos just so that I can open the code in an IDE, CTRL+Click a method and jump to its definition. It would be neat if Github had IDE-like features (but without becoming a platform for editing--just viewing!)
I'm in Palo Alto and actually had seen their small office on Hamilton. I do know how it works and tried to myself but found it really cumbersome. The only explanation I can see is iPhone users who didn't have the benefit of Google maps a few years back that propelled Waze's use. As for the valuation - if they had even 10M active users, Google paid $100 for each of them, knowing that it was inevitable that they'll eventually get the iPhone users anyways.
The equivalent organisation in the UK, the RSPCA, has similar troubles. A couple of years back they tried prosecuting a 5 year old girl and her family for cruelty to a hamster for no obvious reason.

Simple Mobile Wedding Map
I just released a new version of the wedding map product I created a few years ago. I've been meaning to create one that is more mobile friendly so if you're planning a wedding (or similar event) and have a lot of people coming to town you can given them a link to a map that has all of the venues, hotels, local attractions, etc. on it.

Then they can easily get directions between locations as well as add their own locations to their personal view of the map (locations they add will only display on their device).

I tried to make it as simple as possible. Would love any feedback people might have.

Here's an example wedding map:

Good question. Yes, there are rough patches. You couldn't write on paper without something like a book underneath.
The Model Market Fit Threshold and What It Means for Your Growth Strategy
It doesn't suck, but personally I prefer languages that offer more abstractions than less, because I like writing less code. And I prefer exceptions to having to explicitly handle very potential error.

Go to me feels like Java did back in the 90s (in the sense that Java only offered some of the power of a language like Smalltalk while making you jump through hoops, and thus having to write more boiler plate).
They benefit in the form of less congested streets and easy-to-find parking, light coming through their windows (rather than blocked by tall buildings across the street), low building heights giving their neighborhoods a familiar small-town feeling, etc.

To be clear, I think it's unconscionable that we prioritize these concerns when rents are so high, but average people absolutely do benefit from restrictions on housing supply as long as they are secure in long-ago mortgages and grandfathered rent control.

One of the NIMBY talking points is that upzoning creates a profit incentive to destroy rent-controlled buildings and replace them with higher-density market-rate buildings. Rent-controlled lease holders actually become more secure in their positions when the neighborhood downzones.

This is really about seniority/tenure in an area, and if there's any serious reform, it will likely be to further protect those with grandfather status from newcomers.

That's understandable; if you look at the slides and see all of the integrated features in one big blast, you're going to think "holy moly this was not meant for mortal men".

In a way that's correct, because ultimately Perl6 is designed as the ultimate "kitchen sink" language; it has all the little features you could think of already baked in, which will include a lot of features you won't use.

The main reason for this stems from the overarching design philosophy; "There is more than one way to do something". The language ultimately tries to be as flexible as possible, going so far as to support modification the the core grammar, the object system, etc.

This is meant to make the developer as comfortable as possible, but it can lead the common case of perl-itis, also known as "write-once, read-nonce" code.
Also worked on Google Search during this time period. Wasn't directly on the Instant team, but I did some work on it (it was a big enough project that it touched basically everyone in Search). The folks who originated the project were org-chart cousins of mine (i.e. their boss's boss was my boss's boss), and I later ended up serving under their manager.

The real driver for Google Instant was Larry. He saw a demo that had been floating around and said "I want that." When one of the founders wants something, they tend to get it.

> Perl6 is no longer implemented in Haskell on the backend. I think the old parrot VM was

Parrot was implemented in C, and to my recollection implemented various iterations of bytecode syntaxes, notably PBC (parrot byte code).

Rakudo Perl 6 developers took the route of developing Perl 6 through an intermediary language NQP, which is a language aimed at making it easy to implement interpreted languages.

Rakudo (the implementation of Perl 6 that run on MoarVM) is implemented in NQP, and started out on Parrot through an implemention of NQP for Parrot.

NQP[1] stands for Not Quite Perl, and shares various features with Perl, but is much more constrained in features as capabilities, making it easier to implement in a VM.

Because it's mostly implemented in NQP, it's fairly easy to port to a new VM, as all you have to do is get NQP running on that VM, and Perl 6 is mostly ported. For example, this is how the Java port happened within a few months of announcement. NQP was implemented, and then 95% of Perl 6 was already working.

When a new VM instead of Parrot was desired, MoarVM was conceived of as a VM to natively run NQP (rather than NQP on top of the native VM bytecode). Porting Rakudo to it was relatively easy, since Rakudo targets NQP, not a specific VM.

Pugs, conversely, was an interpreter/VM for Perl back in the days of Parrot, and ran its own Perl 6 implementation directly (no intermediary language, and it wasn't Rakudo). It was writtem in Haskell.

Niecza was another direct implementation of Perl 6, but implemented in C# for .Net. I don't believe it used NQP.

Hey there, work at Google. Please feel free to ping me with your concerns. That's certainly not the experience we strive for.
What scenario are you describing exactly? What exact problem are you trying to thwart?

A server containing a user's trade histories would show amounts deposited with Monero. But it would not contain the addresses those deposits came from, the Monero daemon doesn't know this.

Similarly, the user's withdrawals wouldn't be to an actual address that they could cross reference. RingCT gives people one time use addresses. But even if you were somehow not using RingCT addresses the Monero user experience had a best practice. Since you cannot follow transactions to that address over the blockchain, you cannot guarantee that it was the real destination at all. Any user should just have two wallets and transfer to one, which would have the address in the exchange's database, and then in wallet B, transfer to wallet C. I believe RingCT removes that marginal inconvenience, as the addresses themselves are one-time (but feel free to correct me here).

for some reason he equated the fact that we paid for lunch once a week, with the fact that we had financial difficulties in the 2015-2016 time period. somehow, the truth of the matter, which is that cleantech financing for private companies focused on technology had been on life support since 2011, and that in 2014 there was a terrible financing

that's not the only bad journalism here, either. he took my quote out of context, and though he claimed to call up 10 employees, he didn't actually talk to all of them, one specifically told us that he "only needed to say he spoke to him" and then hung up. i don't know what he js against us, but he definitely didn't attempt to get a fair or complete picture. if he had, he'd have talked to any one of the founders or the board, at least to get our perspective, not to twist it. i don't know why he imagines that his brand of heavy hitting editorializing is more accurate. it's just meaner.

there are probably numerous thing that we could have done better, and differently, but a, we are still around as a business, when almost all other cleantech companies are dead or in trouble. we have a decent shot at developing a great business around to production of carbon fiber pressure vessels, and these can be used, in a number of ways, to get really cheap, high density energy storage -- beyond compressed air, which is sadly being overtaken by lithium ion at the moment.

re: articles on startups, not our fault. journalists write the stories they know how to write -- in the tech press, basically hype or scandal. what we put in our talks and website and comments afterwards is fairer criticism, we can do something about it. i always tried to state as clearly as possible what the actual situation was, and where we were, and answered sometimes dozens of comments and questions per article. but we haven't responded to gtm after we were abused this way; frankly, what's the point of providing more content for them to sell subscriptions. but hn, that's my turf and my people, so thanks for asking the question.

You shouldn't look at it just in terms of how well it can utilize system resources. It allows for language level concurrent programming support which facilitates different programming styles. Some people find this style of programming 'fits' them and are attracted to these languages as a medium for expression.

So while other languages can use threads and async-IO perfectly well to keep all a systems resources utilized, that is not the only point of a programming language. Programming languages are primarily a means of communication.

I once wrote some code which took my 4 core CPU to about 500% utilization, and it was very simple code. (on a hyperthreaded Core I7) It was purposefully written to be fairly daft, as there were plenty of better ways to write it. I just wanted to see what would happen, and how long it would take to complete.
