C38 (so when the world ends):

- arrays with slices (that could also be used for strings) and Cilk Plus array notation [1]

- maybe actual string type with separate concatenation operator (possibly space as awk uses and C for literal strings) it could probably be folded to improved arrays

- standard SIMD vector types so that most use for operator overload disappears

- cleaned up standard library

- actual macros so the remaining use for operator overload disappears

- module system (so you would generally not need make and could easily compile to static binary)

- already you can build with static musl libc [2]

- something like libdill [3] or libmill [4] in stdlib

- there are multiple good IDEs, debuggers, analyzers

- one of biggest ecosystems and communities

- historical baggage mostly cleaned up

Terrible that these parents aren't legally allowed to homeschool their own children. That's government stepping in too far.
I remember when it came out. Conceptually it is a remix of James Burke's Connections[1] which goes through all sorts of discoveries from their origins to their modern manifestations.

It is an essential element of this discussion that there are ideas that are brought up discarded, used, re-used, and remixed. But a more interesting question is not the origin of a particular idea, but how these implementations are "catalyzed" into the mainstream by different individuals. And much like chemical reactions where the components are already in abundance around the catalyst, the elements of these ideas are already floating around.

My hypothesis is that some individuals have a way of looking at the world and thinking which allows them to live in a world of many possibilities that are not currently possible. And, when given the opportunity, to pull the rest of us into there version of the universe with astonishing results.

The NY Times article reminded me of that when the question of what the world might look like today if Tesla hadn't been started was reminder of that sort of change.

I'm not sure I understand your Q, but if you are looking for basically a subscribe link that will work for your parents on Android, just find the RSS feed for that podcast (should be easy enough), and then plug it into this service:
http://subscribeonandroid.com

It will create a link that will subscribe them on their chosen podcast app on Android. If they haven't chosen an app yet, it will provide them a list of options.

Hope that helps.
Does no one sign up for UPS My Choice? Very handy. I have them leave packages at the UPS store down the street from me pretty frequently, pre-sign, etc. They do all of the things they don't for you.

I think home package drop off vaults are going to grow in popularity. Getting one at my office to handle late package deliveries was really useful.
How would neighboring states' follow-on legalization diminish tax returns over time? Washington has posted $280 million in tax revenues so far, and Oregon $85 million. Neither seems to threaten the other -- demand is pretty much ubiquitous.
Opening the VS Code inside VS code? I would feel watched, like my VS Code is wondering what the hell I'm doing.

Is it not good enough for me? Is it failing me in some awful way that I feel compelled to change it? Maybe it should get out of the IDE business if its not good enough? Maybe become a farmer, take a break from technology
Why would you make concessions to a society that didn't make concessions to nerds? Arguably the tax money paid by those workers did more to pay for that field than the tax money from the kids, but even setting that aside, I am tired of being told constantly to play well with others, when they don't play well with us.
Some more anecdotal evidence

I was hospitalized with a huge abscess that was damaging my leg and hitting my sciatic nerve. The pain was as acute as I would imagine is possible. The morphine drip that I had did nothing. It was very frustrating. Sometimes the pain would re-occur before I was allowed to get more morphine, and the duration/severity of the pain was comparable.

At the time, I thought that the morphine only managed to make me tired after the pain had subsided, but maybe taking a nap after that kind of pain was normal anyways?
I've seen multiple attempts to get melanoma detectors past the FDA. The last attempt cost millions of dollars on appeals and still ultimately failed.

Hopefully thia one will do better.
This is a great discussion! Reading good code is the best way to learn.

Reading the NativeScript code gave me a really good impression of TypeScript, although I'm just learning it and haven't written much yet myself.

https://www.nativescript.org/using-typescript-with-nativescr...

I have a huge blob of old JavaScript cellular automata code I want to rewrite in TypeScript, but first I want to read some good TypeScript code before starting so I don't mess it up.

It has a bunch of old "frameworky" meta-programming code and data structures that I've painted myself into a corner with (see the "type definitions" comments), which I'd like to throw away and re-implement from scratch, because TypeScript is much better suited for that kind of stuff. And then there's a bunch of brute force bit bashing and number crunching code that I hope will just run without any modification and only a little repackaging, which is another nice benefit of TypeScript.

https://github.com/SimHacker/CAM6/blob/master/javascript/CAM...
Yeah. I understand that it will be just another version with not that many changes. Nim as it currently already feels stable and solid. But, I believe v1.0 release will carry a commitment to not introduce breaking changes at least for reasonable period of time after.
I know a lot of really experienced bartenders, waitstaff, etc and was in the industry for years. No one you'd want to hire would work at a place that didn't do cash tips, unless we're talking super duper fine dining black tie stuff. And possibly even then.

EDIT: I've also known of places that switched to cashless have all their good staff quit, and be stuck with only completely useless people
You could have it like this:

<Parent>
<MyPortal root={element}>
<h1>Howdy!</h1>
</MyPortal>
</Parent>

Where MyPortal actually renders its children in another element. Single component tree, multiple DOM roots. What portals add is the propagation of events through the portal.
Sorry, I think I misunderstood your example. I read 10 TV as 10 Teravolts, i.e. they blew up your IT infrastructure with a massive electrical surge. Obviously I also mixed up who was sending the 10 TV and who was receiving. You can safely ignore my nonsensical reply. Yes, fortunately for you, if your IT system messes up and sends 10 TV (whatever that is), they cannot just keep the 10 TV. They are required to compensate you for them/it if they want to keep them/it.
> request a delivery at work, let the receptionists at your office sign for the package and very politely thank them each time (and don't do this too often)

Everyone in my office does this, although we don't have a dedicated receptionist and the job normally falls to the office manager instead. It doesn't even cross my mind as a misuse of company resources. Is this something that would be considered inappropriate in other places?
My taste preferences have gone through a pretty radical change over the last three years or so. I never liked spicy foods before, but I started to use Sriracha which led me to search out other spicy foods. Now I feel very unmotivated to go to any restaurant that doesn't offer a spicy food dish.

I know this is off topic, but it is be interested in hearing if others have had similar experiences
I thought I didn't work at a large bank but you're making me doubt that, we must be in the same building.
But then we'll likely wind up with people using less opioids and 25% fewer deaths due to opioid overdose like we've seen elsewhere and won't someone think of the poor pharmaceutical companies? /s
Well, as my edit says, I've had success with installing anaconda on an other machine and copying the environment folder to the proper place inside the installation, but AFAIK that's not an officially supported way of doing it.
That is a thing a lot of new brewers don't really understand about how to get actual hop flavor into your beer. In the initial boiling process when hops are added they almost solely contribute IBUs with very little flavor, because the boiling process destroys the delicate flavor compounds.

It is only hops added as the wort cools down, or during the dry hopping process, that contribute to the moral floral and piney flavors some IPAs have. This is why beers such as Dogfish ehad 60 and 90 minute IPAs are so popular, because they used a continuous hopping rate which meant many of the hop flavors end up in the beer and not just making it bitter.

Course experienced brewers know about hopping schedules and dry hopping, but...
It looks very unlikely the anti-drug brigade is going to be able to stop the spread of this nationally at this point. I think NJ will make nine legal states, more will legalize at a faster clip. The Trump Administration appears to be coasting (neither helping nor meaningfully hindering) as far as legalization is concerned, and the Republicans look set to drop the Senate (even despite the up-for-election imbalance).

It's going to accomplish a ton of things simultaneously.

- Substantially reduce arrests, prison sentences, and our general prison / jail population over time.

- Provide another good option for pain management to millions of people. Something we desperately need right now.

- Reduce general crime.

- Weaken the cartels.

- Increase tax revenue and employment by normalizing an industry worth tens of billions annually. The US should eventually become a major marijuana exporter as many other countries gradually legalize.

- Break the back of the war on drugs and change the culture more broadly (this is already well underway, as so many middle class voters are seeing the vast destruction of the opioid crisis, which is educating people on needing to treat addiction as a health problem while simultaneously demonstrating how relatively safe marijuana is by comparison).

Kindergarteners spend several hours a day together in a clean and controlled environment. Not 24/7 roaming free in the jungle. Sane folks vaccinate their children. Placing the same value on a dog as a child is ludicrous.

It’s green if the 1:1 conversion of a “useless” heater into a money-generating heater, partially displaces the logistics pipeline of the US Mint, no? No matter how efficient it is to dig up/farm materials and process them into coins and bills, it can’t be 100% efficient.

NSAIDS are not benign.

Digestive problems are so common with long-term use that some doctors think that they should co-prescribed with omeprazole and other agents to head them off. (Long-term omepraloze will give you B-12 deficiency if you don't supplement; it is an unusual side effect, but I can't sleep if I take omeprazole.

Cardiovascular risk from Vioxx was enough to pull the drug from the market; risk is also seen with Celebrex and other COX-2 selective NSAIDS. The risk with non-selective NSAIDS is less understood but still present.

My doc does not want me taking acetaminophen because she thinks it causes me to get elevated liver enzymes.

Like opioids there are problems when people don't "use as directed". My grandmother used to take Bufferin by the handful and one day at the dinner table we saw her throwing up blood like something out of a horror movie and she was subsequently hospitalized..

Acetaminophen overdoses can easily destroy your liver and are one of the most common forms of fatal poisonings.

The verdict is that we don't have truly 'safe and effective' medicines for pain in 2017.
What are you even talking about? Welfare state?? What welfare? You mean the access to women's health clinics like planned parenthood that has been gutted and made more difficult to obtain by republicans? Or perhaps you mean the "abundance" of low income housing? Or the meager percentage of the budget that goes to food stamps (which, somehow, is viewed as an egregious offense despite rampant military budget overruns)?

Or perhaps you're just spouting bullshit. The only welfare state that exists in America is the one set up for, of, and by corporations at the expense of actual humans.
Oh I know about engine. I'm talking an open source one
I hope the bill that gets passed allows for home cultivation. Previous versions did not, and it would be a shame if business interests were able to monopolize the supply chain in the state.
Yes, easily if it is made by government. But if you wanted to do that without government help enforcing things bit in a distributed manner, I find it a bit more difficult.
How India’s draft drone policy stacks up against laws in other countries
A good comparison here is the Python approach: Python 3 made the syntax for type annotations a first-class part of the language but only to the point of parsing that syntax and providing an AST, it did not (and at least for now will not) define "compile time" or "run time" meanings for them.

The immediate benefit to adding Typescript/Flow-like annotations to the ES spec would be that you could run Typescript files unchanged (without transpilation) in the browser, even if the Browser didn't do any type checks for you. You could still use TS or Flow to do the type checks in a separate process, but you could potentially drop the type-stripping steps in TS or Babel. The possibility exists that eventually the browser could also start to enforce basic type checks, but the immediate benefit of slightly faster build processes with no type-stripping step shouldn't be overlooked.
So you're basically cloning OData, aren't you?
On the other side though, EU wire transfers within SEPA cannot cost more than a domestic transfer and overall the domestic fees are insanely cheap, if not free.

In the USA, wire transfers average $10-25 on the outbound. Inbound, domestic wire transfers are often free, but inbound International transfers can run you $15.

This fee structure is why you see Vimeo and Square Cash (and PayPal before those) become so popular.
Should have honked too (maybe it did).
The key factors are 1> reducing BOM and 2> working in cases where you have whatever data are available (perhaps a phone or CCTV footage or whatever).

As it happens most if not all dash cams have accelerometers.
Every study I've seen shows that people spend and tip more when they are using credit cards than cash. Do high and mid income earners walk around cash and use it a lot at any place but strip clubs?
Fiat currencies use proof of military power (war) as their security system.
As an example you think USA would allow Kim Jong Un to issue US bonds (like he does with Bitcoin)?
I much prefer the energy cost to military cost (that's why mining over Tor / satellite system is so important)
In college I thought I might want to make games but got a dose of reality from MMOs and realized I wanted no part in building those traps for other people.

I have been on both ends of this situation, hitting a car behind me while trying evade a car backing into me and I have been backed into while stationary at a light and not having time to respond. In the end it's best not to try to back into traffic regardless. You just can't depend on traffic behind you to back up, especially if it is human driven, why would we expect an automated car to?

It's not the responsibility of vehicles behind that car in the intersection to fix things, human or otherwise.

You could also argue that a self driving car wouldn't be going as fast behind a car chasing a yellow light and could allow more room to handle this situation before it gets to that point.
Why are techies being shamed because they’ve worked hard and spent it on something they like?

Cause the powers that used to be (newspapers, the established parties) are scared. More and more power is in the hands of the tech industry and it is reasonably popular (last numbers I read was that google had 88% approval, whereas the approval of congress compared disfavourably with AIDS). Tech was the wunderkind and underdog in the 90ies, mostly harmless and a producer of shiny toys.

Tech now has some amount of power, but because we are still outsiders we get stupid articles like that. My hope is that google figures out how to run an AI newspaper (so the articles can be made free) and use it to remove the rest of the power from the incumbents because they do too much damage to us.
Or you can think about it as looking under the hood of a car, or taking apart an iPhone to appreciate the beauty. But I do love the irony. I imagine people have run binary decompilers on the decompilers themselves before.
Could this be exploited for state rehydration across multiple tabs?
This whole discussion is about how self-driving cars will make car ownership unnecessary -- you don't need a rental car at your destination, you just call a cheap self-driving car to drive you around just like you do at home.
This is not just the sale. There is a whole industry behind pot.

I know lawyers, architects, energy managers, etc working now in the weed industry. It is big business.

This transcendes simply sales. And NJ would be regional leader.

And perhaps reduce some prison costs if NJ has many pot offenders.
They are not crash-testing automobiles, so an accelerometer won't help. They are looking at dashcam footage from a library of that footage.

Your comments in this thread are unnecessary and inappropriate.
Cannabis is truly a wonderful and amazing plant. There are many strains that can cure both bodily and mental ailments. Moderation is important, as heavy use of phytocannabinoids will downregulate your body's production of endocannabinoids.

Anecdotally, C. Indica dominant hybrids (Gorilla Glue #4[0] is my favorite) put me in a trance that allows me to focus on a coding task for hours. The only side effect is that my eyes are half-closed. The increase in mental acuity is on par with substituted phenethylamines or eugeroics.

The usual disclaimers apply: IANAD, don't listen to Internet strangers for medical advice, etc.

The Facebook logo is everywhere. On the side of delivery vans, pizza boxes, business cards and paperback books. Public spaces are littered with people staring down at their phones. Our politics has been usurped by the machinations of social media.

Pretending like an individual can simply logout of Facebook and not have to deal with the social consequences is what is ridiculous!

I'll go full Godwin: There were probably less swastikas per square inch at the height of Nazi Germany than there are Facebook logos today. The perceived rise of authoritarianism of some political Other is nothing more than the actual authoritarianism of Facebook.

Why does HN allow articles like this to be posted if it suppresses any arguments against their validity or premise?

This entire topic is flamebait, except only critical arguments are punished.

This is dangerous, because it creates a false appearance of consensus. Further, without allowing for healthy skepticism, we practice something more akin to religion than science.
What do you mean by “just as capable”? This research studied a case where men did not band together, but that low status men behaved differently from high status men.
I was going to post a similar opinion specifically of percocet: it was prescribed for me after a surgery, it gave me a weird sense of detachment, but didn't seem to do anything particularly significant for pain.

I stopped after the first one.

Boston, DC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore are all reasonable drives away and NYC is right next door.
No. It’s possible to be conservative without being an asshole. You just keep your own opinion and mind your own business.
Depends. How good are you at JS? Because I think learning what great JS looks like will give you a better grounding in what TS is actually adding to JS and what is “good TS” vs “good general practice”.

That might sound dismissive of TS but it’s not, I’m just trying to get a sense on what you’re trying to learn from TS.

I'm the maker of Listen Notes. Thanks for sharing Listen Notes here :)

Early this year, I was hoping someone could build a very basic podacast search engine that allowed me to search the whole internet's podcast episodes -- searching meta data is good enough; no fancy AI needed. I didn't want to subscribe yet another podcast -- I've subscribed to way too many podcasts already... I wanted to find episodes, listen, then move on.

Of course, I couldn't find such podcast search engine, so I built Listen Notes. The first prototype of Listen Notes was indeed a "I can build this in a weekend" type side project :)
