That's a really nice project. Well done, I feel inspired to rewrite my old Mandlebrot.js implementation now.
I think it's just a case of leaky abstraction. I'd change the API to something like:

robot.action = { action: 'jump' };

robot.action = { action: 'move', amount: 4 };

etc.

Or if you want to keep the action creators:

robot.action = robot.jump();

robot.action = robot.move(4);

Which makes it obvious that there can only be a single action per loop call.

Ask HN: How do you get people interested in your side project?
I've been building a we app for the indie film industry for the past 2 yrs in my spare time.

Although I've had a few people say its an interesting idea, a few people sign up and a small number of visitors each week, its seems impossible to get any more new people.

I'm currently at the stage of needing say 50 people to use it, test and provide feedback. I don't have much money which is why I cant pay people individually to test.

Interesting. I realised a few years ago that I automatically look down any time I approach a blind corner (when walking through an office, for example). Once I noticed it took me a while longer to figure out that I was looking for the subtle diffuse shadowing that means you're about to walk into someone.

Confirmed.

The MacOS system, of course, provides APIs to get language and locale settings (for dates, number formatting, etc.) separately.

The JavaScript environment, on the other hand, doesn't really have any good APIs that properly separate preferred language from other things like units (metric vs. imperial), formatting dates and times, currencies, and so on.

I was hoping this would be an improvement to the state of JavaScript wrt. locales. Sadly, it looks like this build of Firefox Nightly still doesn't do dates correctly on MacOS, and this is just as broken as everything that came before it.

I have language, dates, number formatting, and everything set up just the way I like it in the OS settings, why the web/JS world just doesn't use those settings is beyond me.

Strange as it sounds, a new language's syntax has become increasingly important and difficult to learn.

I learnt a bit of Go during weekends. I love the power and simplicity of concepts it brings in. But syntax is weird - func args and return is so weird. And variable declaration is verbose.

A language's syntax familarity with existing langauges like c, java, pythn, ruby etc.. Helps the speed at which experienced programmers process code. This is not just writing but also reading lot of open source code. If i dont feel upto speed with reading and writing - it kind of discourages.
This seems to be the classic efficiency vs effectiveness. Would you rather go as fast as possible (maybe in the wrong direction), or take the time to make sure your on the right path.

If you have stake in multiple companies I can understand why you would advice go for speed, as chances are big at least some will go in the right direction. And they may be ahead of more deliberately planned startups.

This should be really easily if you use gstreamer pipelines. Something like this:

# To send
gst-launch filesrc location=file.wav ! wavparse ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw-int,channels=1,depth=16,width=16,rate=44100 ! rtpL16pay ! udpsink host=localhost port=1234

# To receive. You could also use something like VLC with "vlc rtp://localhost:1234" for this part.
gst-launch udpsrc port=1234 ! "application/x-rtp,media=(string)audio, clock-rate=(int)44100, width=16, height=16, encoding-name=(string)L16, encoding-params=(string)1, channels=(int)1, channel-positions=(int)1, payload=(int)96" ! rtpL16depay ! audioconvert ! alsasink sync=false

gstreamer gives fairly good control over tuning things like jitter buffers and sampling rates. That said, I've never had to use it on Windows so YMMV.

It is important that a Norwegian visitor with a browser configured to prefer en-US [1] would see the entire web page in the same locale. Why should _parts_ of the web page localize to a different locale than other parts?

The standard Norwegian date format is DD.MM.YYYY, _easily_ confused with MM/DD/YYYY. Why is it a feature to include this confusion?

[1]: This is pretty common, either deliberately or by accident. If you actually want to serve content localized in multiple ways (eg. you want to serve both an English and a Norwegian version) you have to sidestep browser localization anyway and offer the user a way to select which version they want.

Having worked with some companies in the field, I feel "Industry 4.0" is just about the same level of marketing fad as "Sharing Economy". Something useful will eventually appear there, but my impression is that there's lot of papering over crappy tech with sales being done, and people are jockeying for position of being the platform provider, who sucks everyone else into their SaaS offering. In a way, it doesn't look that different from consumer IoT, which is probably why people think calling it IIoT is a good idea (instead of trying to separate themselves away from the accumulated bullshit IoT is).

Not the kind of revolution I fought for.
Or the action could be the return value. IMHO, trying to guess the physical model by experimentation is painful. Why not propose a debug button to display the state of variables during the execution of script.

The point would be that the stuff we would use to explore/colonize the solar system would be made on the Moon with a relatively low investment in stuff having to be send there to set up the base and mining/production process.

I'm confused: what do you think this project is trying to achieve if not exactly that?
I’ll disagree with your statement because there’s a hidden variable/assumption that has now changed.

There is a great amount of information available today compared to before - all else held constant.

All else is not constant. Assumptions on signal vs noise have been upended and getting to good information to an average person is now perhaps more of a task than before.

Given an average joe, none of them will be on the level of informational awareness as a member of HN.

They will not know or try to check the links on a Wikipedia page, be aware of various turf wars, or the credibility of a page.

This is if they approach a page directly, as opposed to being diverted or distracted from information.

In short- by measures both malicious, intentional and accidental, signal is now swamped with more noise than ever before.

So I disagree with that statement as it is true only in a general, unspecific and intractable sense.

(The rule of thumb is that all noise is signal to someone, and a lot of this is signal for our hindbrains which are better customers than our rational, non-impulsive minds.)

I work in civil engineering and lots of people here are really interested in the potential of AR. Just something as simple being able to stand in an empty field and look around and 'see' where all the existing pipes are underground and overlay that with where the new water pipes are planned to go makes lots of people here very excited. If you can then 'move' a pipe in real time while in the field and have the CAD drawings back at the office update then that could be a real game-changer.

Basically don't look to Google for the 'hot' applications of AR. Look to companies like Autodesk, ESRI, Tekla, Bently etc.
I am in favor of UBI, a few remarks:

- mostly because people on the bottom can be powerless and get stuck in low paying jobs, no means to move, to re-educate, etc.

- today most countries already redistribute money, in form of minimum wage, tax cuts, food stamps, disability benefits, heath insurance, etc.

- UBI is a dial, you can turn it up, or turn it down, redistribute 15% of all value created is not unreasonable, some European countries are already at 10-15%

- make sure every dollar earned, helps you move forward, benefits, UBI, taxation, should never have jumps in scales, but always be linear (this is horribly off in my country today)

- drug misuse, poor that cannot handle money, is a problem today, and UBI won't solve it, it's not on the agenda to dump all social workers ...

- lazy hipsters, that is intuitive but likely wrong, ... UBI is not exactly luxurious living, you'd want a job or no car, no nice clothes, no travelling, etc ...

"because sugar is calorie-heavy". That's it? What about all the studies that shows high consumption of sugar leads to diabetes, heart disease, mental health etc.?

Who knows what is true any more? May be big sugar companies are fighting back using fake studies and blogs to lessen the blame like they did with fat before.

Edit: I forgot to mention 2 real examples:

1. My father is not fat. We don't eat any junk foods, everything is cooked at home. He goes to office by cycle, it's long commute. But eats too much sweets and sugar, kind of addicted. He got diabetes, glucose reading 290 without food.

2. I started eating lots of sweets/sugar after I stayed at my parent's home for four months. When I sleep on my stomach, I started to feel my heart beat. It was not like this before. It was a bit scary. Then I read all those articles about sugar, and I figured that might be the reason. I stopped eating sugar completely. I no longer feel heart beat while sleeping on stomach. My heart beat per minute came down from 67 to 61. I only stopped sugar, everything else was constant.

Okay, these are only 2 cases, it proves nothing. I know. But, I don't care what anyone says about sugar now. I know what I experienced and I believe on that.
I think that the beauty of the internet is that you do not have to wait for the invisible hand of the market to produce acceptable competition. You can simply render what you choose to render, how you want to render it.
I build Danish self service web applications, and from my perspective I would always want to control that date formats fits the displayed language.

Why must it then be in Danish? Because we would rather optimize for Danish users who for some reason have gotten the wrong browser version / localization settings and don't know how to change it.

An English speaking user would be much better served with a dedicated English version than just the date format being correct - if they can overcome the language barrier, surely they can overcome the date format.

You're absolutely right, the plastics and "garbage" being manufactured by the packaging industry is not all being recycled into other useful things. Who ever said it was or would. Only a percentage of recyclable plastics even end up in the recycling bin.

So, does that make recycling a lie? Is there another alternative?

Please don't stop recycling, but how about focusing on buying products with less packaging, make sure you recycle what you can.

Find a better way. Calling recycling a "lie" I don't think helps anything.

>How many ex-Concorde engineers have they hired?

All right, when you said you are an aerospace veteran I was prepared to take you seriously, but this cancels that out completely. Firstly any Concorde engineers would, if they started their career right out of college on Concorde, be about 80 years old by now. Then this plane is using different and much more modern engine technology, different control systems and different materials. Almost nothing learned from Concorde would be up to date and relevant to this plane, from an engineering perspective.
Try Georgism if you need an alternative theory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

I just want to point out the grammatical error here in the title. I mean I get it - he's busy but this is a core concept and it's in the title.
There were over 100 orders for the Concorde in the 1960s and when the first prototype was flying this already went down to 74, but most of them were canceled, so only 14 commercial planes were ever build. I would be sceptical about this project.
