Is there a middle ground? My kids went as part of a team to help people rebuild after Katrina and one of the folks they met was rebuilding their house but building it as a boat. They had re-done the foundation so that the house rested on it, and its sewer connection was just the house pipe inset into the city pipe (so it could easily lift out). That, 15' of chain to allow the house to float above the foundation and central concrete and iron pillar which was essentially the keel.

I thought of them reading about Harvey and I am wondering if they will show up on the news at some point.

I compared it a bit to my efforts to insure my house remains intact and upright in the event of an earthquake (the 'likely' disaster where I live).
The earth's crust is 13% aluminium by weight, so there is no chance there ever will be a shortage. The thing with aluminium is rather the amount of energy needed to produce it compared to the energy needed to recycle it, which is about 20:1.

Once a can has been put into a landfill mixed with other stuff and with time also oxidized, that advantage is mostly gone.
Yes, I did it for about 8 years, all solo. For a few years I did rent a cheap house, which I used to travel back to when I was in between trips, but then I redirect all my mail to my moms house and went full hobo and lived out of tiny backpack.

Any tips? Just go for it. Dont plan for staying 5 years, just do one month and see what is it like, then return back and plan another trip. Experiment with various length of your trips and various locations. Find what works for you.

I did settled down in 2013, so how did I see that in perspective? It was fun and interesting, but memories did fade out a bit and it feels like it happen to somebody else now. My work went ok-ish, I did good amount of work, earn some money and spent it all on travelling. Basically all friendships back home went away and I had to start again at 30.

I would do that again in heartbeat, but ask yourself why you want to do it. It is not like you are helping yourself in areas of connections or career and you will have to live with it for the rest of your life.
Counterpoint: isn't this the PERFECT time? This is one time when we can discuss possible policies and it's not completely abstract. We can point to what a policy would have or would not have changed about what is currently going on.

For example it's much easier to convince people that it's OK to cut certain parts of the budget when no one has seen some of those programs used much in a couple of years. Events like this make it clear that preparations for extreme storms, even if they're not common, are still necessary.

Now of course most of what Trump has "done" is PROPOSALS to the budget, so he hasn't necessarily changed anything yet. But it still seems like a reasonable time to discuss these kind of issues.

And the government involvement in flood insurance, basically subsidizing people to live in areas that are a lot more dangerous than necessary.
>During the peak of the flooding on Saturday night, the National Weather Service in Houston issued an apocalyptically worded “Flash Flood Emergency for Life-Threatening Catastrophic Flooding.” That kind of warning wasn’t a thing before Harvey, which just adds emphasis to the unique risk this storm poses.

>The event is so rare, that even the NWS is unsure of what will happen next. In a chilling follow-up tweet on Sunday, the NWS said “this event is unprecedented & all impacts are unknown & beyond anything experienced.”

Yes but I meant a combination of the tooltip + the button + the button hover. It is still quite common though, but no problem with asking I hope :)
I started learning to code in my mid-30's and am now in my mid-40's working as a developer. "Leave the 9 to 5 Job" is not accurate. Most people that follow the path described in the article will still be working regular business hours (frequently longer than 9 to 5 to be honest) sitting at a desk in an office setting, only now they will be writing code for a living.
Thanks for sharing, nice work!

The confusion here is because Pest is not, in fact, a parser. It's a parser generator: you can use it to generate parsers (maybe even a parser for Rust), but it is not in itself a parser.

A better title would be "Pest - Fast, modern parser generator for Rust".

One cool thing is that rather than the parser generation being a standalone tool, it's written using Rust's macro system. Normal parser generators use some sort of command line tool to generate say C code which can then be used like any other library. Here, there's no need for generated code, because the Rust macro system generates it on the fly.
Maybe this differs per country, but most soy milks, almond milks, rice milks, etc sold here in the Netherlands are sweetened, making them taste like garbage in my opinion. However, at least both soy milk and almond milk is also readily available in an unsweetened variant. Look out for that, it tastes a lot better. I'm personally particularly fond of the unsweetened almond milk, nearly any brand really.
I'm a bit confused by the benchmark. I looked through the benchmark code and, without really understanding what I'm looking at, the result of the nom parser looks much closer to the "pest (custom AST)" benchmark than the "pest" benchmark. The description above the image, however, primarily compares the "pest" result.

Am I misunderstanding something or is the comparison not fair?
Yes, but just because it happened for the first time now it won't happen anytime soon again? Maybe not next year, but really lifetime rare? I think it's better to prepare and it not happening than not prepare because it's just a once in a lifetime thing.

They even say it isnt sure what's going to happen next. So you can't say now that it is a once in a lifetime thing.

If you're carrying it physically on your person daily, I have yet to see anything better than Leatherman's Skeletool. It's light (5.0 oz), has the core tools (a rather sharp knife with quick-access mechanism, pliers / wirecutter, and a bitdriver with a philips/flat bit built in) which covers the most common situations one is likely to encounter, both on a daily basis and in an emergency. There's also a bit set and and extension available as accessories.

The lighter tools generally are missing one or more of the above and the larger tools are A) significantly heavier and B) contain tools that aren't that useful on a daily basis (e.g. file, saw) and aren't really all that good IMO when you do need them.

It was until the mid-19th century.

Prior to this time, lobster was considered a mark of poverty or as a food for indentured servants or lower members of society in Maine, Massachusetts, and the Canadian Maritimes. It has been suggested servants specified in employment agreements that they would not eat lobster more than twice per week, however there is no evidence for this. Lobster was also commonly served in prisons, much to the displeasure of inmates. American lobster was initially deemed worthy only of being used as fertilizer or fish bait, and until well into the 20th century, it was not viewed as more than a low-priced canned staple food. [0]

I agree with your point. I tried my best not to sway too far off of some of syntax I've seen in other PEG projects, while also keeping it compatible with Rust's standard macros. While pest does have this constraint any longer with the new beta, changing the grammar too much would have been a nuisance for anyone who had grammars written in the older versions.

You're right that the stores probably play a role here. However in a typical supermarket bottle are not separated by origin: it would made little sense as most the wine comes from the country anyway.

Conning customers with fake logos (for organic food for example) and misleading packaging is a very common thing. The law forbid to use some regional names[1] but creating some fake "Château Mytho" brand with the origin of the product writing in yellow 4pt font size is still totally legal.

Some of this stuff is even legally organized. For example the "organic food" label of the European Union allows up to 5% non-organic in the product. The domestic label was then changed to match the European one, now allowing some "accidental" GMO.

In someways isn't this the governments job? It's very easy for people to plan for things that happen every year or two, one of the things the government is capable of doing is looking further ahead than normal people will getting ready for THAT.

Gov. Abbot encouraged folks to leave two days before the hurricane hit. Probably good advice then but not today. Mayor Turner is saying to stay put. Probably best advice now since it is too late to move.

Remember: follow no politician's recommendation, it's best to assume and prepare as if YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN because YOU ARE.

As usual, the people who get hurt are the most disadvantaged ones, and those who trust the government will come to save you and fix your problems. So look out for the elderly and your neighbors and do the best you think to keep you and your families safe.

For most of my life, I'd never donated to any organizations. I didn't consider myself the type of person that actively donated yet - I was more about building up resources so that I could donate in the future. But my first donation was to MAPS last year, and I found it to be rewarding even though it was a small amount (~0.5% of yearly income) - it increased my sense of ownership over my future + the future of the world.
And I'm not sure I agree.

Tastes do vary; I think it's fair to say that the average theatergoer has somewhat different tastes than I do.

But. If I read reviews of the critics at the major pubs and go to the movies they recommend, I may see some films that aren't to my tastes--just the sort of thing I KNOW isn't going to be my bag going in--and I may miss a few I'd really enjoy. But it's not a bad filter. And many of the people I know have relatively similar tastes.

Maybe that just means I'm of a similar demographic and have similar tastes to many critics. There does seem to be some consensus though.
Whether fashion is covered too much or too little seems pretty subjective; it's going to depend on what you read, etc. The physics aspect doesn't get talked about much and you don't see much on Hacker News normally, so I wouldn't say it's over-covered here?

(On the other hand, we do see an awful lot of criticism of UI design and that includes complaints about typography :-)
This hurricane yes.
The last comparable event was the destruction of Galveston in the early 1900ies, which led to the rise of Houston.

This is a hurricane with masses of hot mexican golf water, which decided to stop directly behind Houston to unload all the water there, the 3rd largest city in the US, which is huge and totally flat.
The rivers are showing record factors of flow, 10x more than the previous flow records. E.g 70.000 cfs in La Grange. The previous record was like 6.000 cfs.
You cannot deal with such numbers, but still the dams are holding.
I find almond milk undrinkable in coffee, but Oatly is very good.
First of all, it makes a lot of difference, whether you are exposed to external radiation, or eating contaminated food. Especially if, as for Iodine, the elements are accumulated in certain organs. Not sure how much this is the case here.

Anyway, I have not claimed, that occasional eating of mushrooms is going to kill you. Still, the doses are high enough to warrant an official warning not too often to eat these mushrooms (you have a dental X-ray not every day either), and enough animals are contaminated high enough to be destroyed.

Overall, the life in Bavaria is not impacted by the radiation. But I find it startling, that over a thousand kilometers away from Chernobyl, the Bavarian landscape is contaminated and will be for decades. It shows me, that we do not want to risk a reoccurrence of such events.
I don't know about oat milk specifically, but I've had yogurts made from soy, coconut and almond milk, and cheese made from almond milk and cashew milk. The yogurt is generally good if you like the base flavor of the kind of milk. The cheese is somewhat uneven in quality, with some being aggressively bland and others being pretty tasty. The best nutmilk cheeses I've found are Heidi Ho and Miyoko's Creamery.

Now I'm curious to get some Oatly and try one of Miyoko's recipes with it.

These may sound obviously toxic, but often are taken with a grain of salt by many employees. In my 25 yrs, I have never seen a team or company recover to a remotely healthy state after a high level manager utters either of them [EDIT: to the team; individually it may make sense, but see thread below] (5 times, 2 personally and 3 from the sidelines). If you are an employee and you hear that, jump ship. If you are a manager and you say that, resign. If one of your reports says it, fire them.

Sounds like a great list. In my earthquake pack that is always in my car are a set of supplies that would let me hike from pretty much anywhere in the bay area back to my house.

One of the things I added was a 'suture kit'. This is a sealed set of supplies (the mechanics) that would let anyone trained in emergency medical care to address a fairly major laceration. I don't have those skills but as we have observed in disasters people with those skills tend to be fairly evenly distributed through the affected population but supplies for them to anything about it are impossible to get. As a result I've encouraged people to carry one "part" of a complete medical load out so that when they converge post disaster they will be able to assemble the necessary supplies for any doctors, nurses, or PAs in the group to work with. It also keeps peoples earthquake supplies from being a 'target' by looters who would look for drugs. No single individual has anything really 'loot worthy' for those people.
Gov. Abbott contradicted local officials with his off-the-cuff suggestion people in Houston should flee. Metro Houston is 6.5M+ people. Where would they evac to? San Antonio and Austin were already swamped with people from Victoria, Corpus Christi and further south evacuating there under mandatory evac notifications. I45 to Dallas in no feasible way could handle 6.5M people fleeing. I was here when hurricane Rita came through and everyone evac'd. More people died on highways evacuating days before the hurricane made landfall than those died because of the hurricane.

Majority of people in metro Houston have power and while the flooding is catastrophic (exceeding 500 and 1000yr flood levels), the fatalities have been less than a handful (at the moment). Houstonians and Texans are coming to each other's aid, helping with rescues, etc. Even the Cajun Navy is coming in to help.

Edited: I completely agree with your sentiment about not waiting for the govt. Resources are already strained and even if they were willing, many roads/highways are completely impassable at the moment.

> S-expressions are both an internal representation and an external textual format. Lists will be parsed into cons cell trees.

But at that point - the "internal" and "external" s-expressions are no tighter coupled than say Smalltalk syntax and binary representation.

And I think (again, subjective) that s-expressions as a user-facing, textual syntax, might be good for some subset of problems - but I don't really see the benefit of forcing all users to work at the level of a compiler internal representation - the simplicity is somewhat artificial and superficial.

I guess I think we can do much better than "smart typewriter" as a way to interact with executable data.
> You don't need own capital to start a company.

This is fairly privileged silliness. That capital is how you pay rent and feed yourself and your family while you actually build a business. Those of us (and I am one) who are able to safely and effectively live off of savings to build a business are the vanishing exception, not the rule, in America.

The next person who says "just work nights and weekends" is telegraphing how richly they morally deserve one upside. "Burn everything else in your life to probably still fail at building a company" is gross, nasty advice. And, coupled with the continual throwing out of any temperament filter with regards to whether one should create a business--at best it is a failure of compassion and empathy.
Don't forget neo-nazi "threat". The entire establishment media/propaganda apparatus coordinated their attack together to institute censorship regime on the internet.

I gotta say, I've never particularly cared for fashion, but when you actually think about it, creating something that looks good and feels comfortable is pretty fucking difficult.
+1. When you are genuinely a part of "something big" and trust your leadership to pull through temporary setbacks - the "changing the world" vibe can be the difference between making it and not making it altogether especially in the startup environment.

It does get abused/overused though and shouldn't be a substitute for an adequate material compensation in the long run. "Vibe" don't pay the bills after all.

Cheese in the traditional way, probably not. I think it relies on a chemical reaction that's fairly unique to lactose (and lactose is, as far as I now, a sugar unique to milk). At least I haven't seen or heard of anyone doing it (except a few biotech firms that are explicitly working on novel ways of achieving similar chemical reactions). If such a product exists it's really badly marketed (or very low volume), because I know many vegans that would pay a high premium for such a product.

Yogurt is basically milk with a bacteria that eats sugar added to it. You can do that with any product similar to milk it seems. Oatly produces an oat-based yogurt, and the Swedish market has yogurts based on (at least) soy and lupine as well.

When you're younger you think there's some villain comic book style, that you have to overcome. You know, a Hitler. Then the world's going to be different.

It's not like that - the country is a reflection of it's citizens - narrow minded citizens, narrow minded governments.

If you want to know where things are headed - just go watch some TV. Is it uplifting/informing or dumbing things down? That's the general direction we as a society are heading in.

As for hiding somewhere and doing your own thing - that's what scientists and intelligent people do - find their niche that is ok according to society (allows them to make a comfortable living), and pursue their intellectual curiosity there.

I may have missed something in the whitepaper, but using a confidentiality-only encryption scheme like AES-CTR seems bad because it enables trivial attacks on file integrity (bit-flipping attacks and such). How does Storj protect the integrity of a file? I see that proofs of retrievability are used, but PoRs don't guarantee protection against integrity attacks in general.
I see. Thanks for providing some context and numbers. Seems to be much larger than I thought. But it could still be that the number of these kinds of hurricanes could go up, no?
