Market demand for haxe is probably not enough to justify learning the language, but the language is incredibly easy to pick up for anyone who has done any development in ActionScript/JavaScript/ECMAScript type languages.

It more or less feels like a class-based, typed (often inferred type) JavaScript. If you have any experience in the class of JavaScript-like languages, learning haxe is basically no effort beyond just learning a new set of build tools and the haxe runtime APIs.

I used it a lot when I was working for Chumby because the language could target the ActionScript/AVM runtime that was used for Chumby widgets and was in many ways a far superior language to ActionScript 2. (ActionScript 3 was also very good, but the Flash player on Chumby devices didn't support AVM2 until just about the time the company went through a very near death experience [though it is still alive thanks to the efforts of Duane Maxwell]).

Show HN: Idea for Angular CLI Blueprint to Generate Material Table from Protobuf
I myself would prefer we give out free food for all, rather than "free telecommunication". We should put food-ration centers all across the country where people can go to get their daily rations. Like public schools.
As a young adult in beginning of my 20s I've experimented with a plethora of other drugs as well, mostly psychedelics which back then were legally available, at least where I'm from (Ayahuasca is still legal here [1]).

Its been a good 10 years ago but during my experience with DMT + MAOI (self prepared, legally bought from a company called Azarius). From what I remember, I merely saw dragons in all kind of colours whilst lying down. I couldn't see through it just like you described. Auditory perception was vastly altered as well, akin to psilocybin, but with psilo I often lacked the visual aspect of 'tripping'.

The most anxious part of my consumption was the preparation because of the dangers associated with the MAOI. I carefully avoided everything except one cup of espresso a few hours before I started intake. I also didn't quit smoking (back then I was an average smoker). I had no hunger during my usage, though I don't remember the effect on my smoking habits. I wrote various trip reports for private usage back then and still have them, but either I didn't do it with the Ayahuasca one or it got lost.

In hindsight it wasn't very mature. I did extensive research on all of the drugs (A. muscaria was particularly fascinating) but did not always have a babysitter. I had a mild psychosis from cannabis at one point, and a few years later I was diagnosed with GAD and AvPD. Recently, this got reverted to a primary diagnosis of ASD (autism) instead. I also have schizophrenia in my family, though distant, and have memory problems. ASD has severe effects on sensitivity, thus could potentially be dangerous with psychedelics. Perhaps also worth noting that years after I quit recreative drugs usage I had one severe psychosis, triggered by stress.

I wonder if you're running into the problem of mixed cultural standards on HN. People here come from very different backgrounds but we interpret each other's statements without knowing that—a hard problem. I'm not assuming anything about you but I can imagine different pairs of backgrounds that would react quite differently to the simple, blunt question "was it suicide". Some would think "what's the problem it's a simple factual question" while others would wince and almost feel pain. This isn't an issue of PCness, but of the lossiness of channels across multiple cultures.

Different cultures also have different standards around speech vs. writing for such a question, as well as around public vs. private. And a small private conversation and a large public internet forum are miles apart even before bringing culture into it.

On HN we're dealing with all that and more. Our way is to try to have a local culture in which people err on the side of posting thoughtful, substantive comments. These two factors—considerateness for others and solid information—compensate for packet loss in the channels, making it easier for real communication to occur, leading to more interesting conversations. But it comes at a cost: utterances can't be quite as sharp or colorful. We give up some expressive range. Things get more bland. It took me years to reconcile myself to this—I hate blandness and am a fan of the historical art of barbed wit—but eventually I realized that if you don't make this tradeoff then the smart people eventually leave, and that would be blander to say the least.

People do sometimes mistake this approach for political correctness—and then wonder how the author of "What You Can't Say" could have created both—but that's because they don't understand what HN is going for. (I feel annoyed sometimes when people accuse us of being champions of bourgeois politesse when they haven't the least idea, but what can you do.) We're trying to optimize the site for interestingness—intellectual curiosity. The HN guidelines are an engineering tradeoff to achieve a design goal: one we have to make to protect HN from the dynamics that make internet forums less interesting and then dead. This design decision goes back to the founding of the site: see https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/hackernews.html.
Let is a much nicer keyword though. It just reads better.

I almost never use variable mutation in JS, and I use let almost everywhere.

That lets me use the let/const distinction in a way that to me seems even more informative, namely to distinguish actual constants like "site base URL" or "pi".
Synchrony is an intended solution to centralisation written back in 2015 after being designed since around 2011: http://github.com/psybernetics/Synchrony though this implementation also ships a peer-to-peer hyperdocument editor baked into the core of the UI so the Python PoC is a bit of a mutant.

Currently aiming to release a Go implementation at some point after canning a C implementation earlier this year, where p2p is instead accessed via CONNECT proxy.

Is there any interest in this project?

It would likely be quite difficult to ethically do such a study. Correlation alone isn't compelling: it could simply be that the underlying reason a significant share of people turn to [insert mind-altering substance here] is underlying emotional suffering, trauma, etc. and if the substance doesn't offer any improvement they end up resorting to suicide.
Attacking Rust for Fun and Profit
Tests/CI are insufficient. For games, you'll want QA hammering on a release for days, weeks, or months with only the most conservative changes applied, in an effort to shake out any remaining weird heisenbugs. To do otherwise invites the specter of failing certification, delaying your release, or burning some pretty bad bugs to hundreds of thousands of physical disks.

Eh.. Game studios aren't generally still in the dark ages, are they? Physical disks went the way of the dodo. (Every game now basically requires updates on first use, right? So even if consumers get a disc[o ball], they won't really be affected by a bug burned to it.)

Yet we already don't tolerate violent speech. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_ex...

It is crazy to me that a (if I might assume) straight white non-Jewish and non-Muslim man living in a like society will speak authoritatively about what kind of speech should be allowed. Go live in a society in which you are the minority where a significant and growing segment of society hates you, and then tell me what kind of speech we should allow.
Wall St. would love to be able to sell stuff to Puerto Rico with less overhead. It's just the US shipping companies and sailors that really like having a monopoly on trade with Puerto Rico. (There are other things about Puerto Rico's lack of statehood that Wall St likes a lot, but the Jones Act isn't one of them)
And yet I don't see any way this can work without the 'tyranny of the majority', as long as we consider things like private property a thing.

So ten people decide to bow at Steve's now-royal feet. His rule involves property. The two who didn't vote for him might be living within the boundaries of that property. Or it might not be economically feasible for them to survive without entering Steve's kingdom. And unfortunately all the other land is rules by Dave and Jared, who would require their submission just as much as Steve.

I just don't see a practical way, within the framework of (pretty much?) then entire world at this point, where it is possible to not agree to take part in an election, and to realistically disrespect its results.

Catalonia and the real world is more complicated, so perhaps there is a future where Catalonia succeeds at seceding. Personally I'm not as much against that as most people seem to be.

But I guess I'm just pointing out that there's no simple anything that this situation can be reduced to.
The payment is broadcasted instantly (1-2 seconds). Fee can be as low as $0.10-0.30 (eg. these donations to the VLC address https://blockchain.info/tx/99ee82b2b8f33ee22c6c51ff4ba198141... https://blockchain.info/tx/d056b36bdb81f70cf344d4489ba337ad1...
https://blockchain.info/tx/445ba8e7559a4f83bcd7fd7adac30cf9f...).

It's important to understand the difference between a broadcasted transaction (tx received by most Bitcoin nodes, "0-confirmation", 1-2 seconds) versus the transaction being included in at least 1 block ("1 confirmation", ~10 minutes). Some merchants accept 0-confirmation tx, while others require 1 confirmation. But in almost all cases it's fine to accept 0-confirmation transactions:

• ordering physical goods online (an order takes more than ~10 minutes to be shipped & delivered anyway)

• ordering virtual goods/services (eg. paying for VPN: the vendor can simply cancel the service if the tx is never confirmed)

• any low-value real-world transaction (eg. paying for groceries... no one will bother with a double-spend attack to steal groceries)

• etc
> Doesn't this throw out some of the point of feature flags?

Not if you're using feature flags as an alternative to branching, nor if your feature flag is intentionally temporary. A branch is temporary, and merging the branch doesn't eliminate the point of branches, right?

For performance toggles you want to keep and use, then definitely just keep those.

> Feature toggles implemented through conditional logic seems like an anti-pattern to me. Developers make mistakes, and it's very easy to forget to wrap work around the necessary toggles

This is a valid concern generally, but in my experience doesn't detract much from the reasons to use feature toggles. In particular, the good examples you brought up (performance features & API feature toggles) you can't have without conditional logic, so there isn't any choice or alternative, right?

> It seems to me like a better pattern would be to feature-toggle on an API level

That's a good idea when the feature in question is an API feature. Are you a backend kind of person? ;) Lots of features are frontend, lots of features are full-stack. It all just depends on which feature, but generally speaking having API level feature toggles in your toolbelt is a great idea.

"The category theory you need to know to be a good programmer in a Haskell-like language" is null.
I think you nailed the problem.

More than once I have encountered product people looking at the app on iOS in one hand & Android in the other and explaining that they should be the same.

99.9% of the time, normal users don't do that. What they do is switching from one app of the OS they are using to yours.

Using the same idioms as other apps of the OS is more useful because this is what users will have been trained to use.

The stability of the Haskell ecosystem is something I just can not understand.

It's not enforced by policies, the tooling isn't much more helpful than in any other language, and it is not more mature than any widely used ecosystem. It feels like Haskell libraries just need less changes.

My understanding is that 'latent schizophrenia' is a term referring to the predisposition towards developing schizophrenia if certain environmental, social or other stressors trigger it.

It may never truly manifest itself as schizophrenia because of the lack of non-genetic factors involved in the illness.

The nature of schizophrenia isn't that genetics will absolutely determine whether or not someone will develop the disease. One can be diagnosed with prodromal schizophrenia and, with proper intervention, will never be diagnosed as schizophrenic or experience those symptoms again.

To say that the drugs will make symptoms emerge earlier instead of later in life isn't entirely accurate. Those symptoms may _never_ emerge at all, given the right circumstances.

It seems that the 'right circumstances' for those with a predisposition towards developing schizophrenia include never ingesting certain types of drugs.

Would you happen to have a third party source that could corroborate that you didn't make this claim? I realize I'm asking for the unreasonable (disprove an accusation about yourselves!), but perhaps the source material for the meme would suffice.

It's a bit surprising to hear your assertion, as I've only ever heard that "Daily Stormer" egged Cloudflare on. This was easy to accept, as it falls into the general pattern of trolling. But if this tidbit was actually malinterpreted and amplified by the media to flesh out their narrative, it gives a whole new face to the situation - don't let a good crisis go to waste and all that.

(FWIW I'm not in agreement with your specific political view here. But most people in the world are some type of asshole, and yet I still believe in their right to communicate freely).
An old school c programmer wants to know if there's a Rust idiom for recovering gracefully from failed allocations (i.e., when malloc returns NULL). Otherwise, what good is a type safe program that crashes due to a heap overflow? If this is the wrong kind of question, I'm listening.
