It sounds like a similar difficulty to reading Forth, and you're proposing a solution like what Forth programmers do. I can't help wondering if we can't make up a more readable language instead.
I used to be like that until my 30s but suddenly it changed. Now I can't sleep if I drink just one cup. It also makes me uncomfortably hyper.
IIRC, Go Mobile has no UI layer. It's designed for creating cross platform libraries that you use in existing apps, or otherwise layer with native functionality.

This has a UI library and seems to more of an end to end solution.

Previously the only real options we have to use as "money" are nation-state derived and under the control of central bankers. For various reasons, nothing else (eg. gold, stocks, property) presented a practical alternative to state issued money in fulfilling the core functions of:
- medium of exchange
- unit of account
- store of value
Central banks and governments always ended up debasing their currencies. They ranged from super-corrupt to just believing weird keynsian-stimulus stuff, and always end up printing money and debasing the currency. QE given to corrupt politicians as happens in africa enriches the politicians at the cost of everyone else holding or earning the currency. QE given to bankers as in USA enriches asset owners at the cost of savers and wage earners.

Finally, cryptocurrencies with fixed, limited inflation schedules provide a competitive non-inflationary alternative to state issued currency.
The assumptions I'm making are that most people drink water and non water, and the non water they drink is not going to be more than 3 to 4 drinks (cups/bottles) per day, and that people drinking coffee are already filling their quota of non water drinks by drinking coffee so they don't drink sugary drinks.
A strong coffee (e.g. via a Moka pot) should send you to the bathroom too.

Well, I don't agree there either.

"Net neutrality" is a concept that long predates anyone dreaming of ISPs as title II.

My concern is that "net neutrality" as a topology concept - important as it has been to the growth of the internet so far - may be both subject to deprecation in favor of something more anarchic (ie, better) and at the same enshrined by law as the result of the current zealotry.
If the aliens are strong enough to land their spaceship on earth, investigating all countries is probably a piece of cake for them. There is no reason for them to tie themselves to a certain country or area.

In another case, if they establish communication with a certain country/organization, but they cannot arrive, and somehow can only communicate with that certain country/organization, then it could be a different story.
See, it depends on what we mean by "neutral."

I think that a misguided or malicious regulator might certain be able to read that physical interconnects represent a "non-neutral" topological configuration, because they allow neighbors to share with each other at speeds faster than those outside their subnet.
> It seems to me that the benefits of static typing only apply to accidental mistakes (e.g. using a pointer to a character as though it were an integer, or a pointer to a struct, or whatever), and thus that a system with deliberately-circumventable static typing is just fine.

Static typing is useful to enforce the integrity of abstractions across large systems. For instance, using (language-enforced) abstract data types, you can confidently say that a 50 KLOC program won't destroy the invariants of a complicated data structure, because the only place where this could hypothetically happen is a 1500 LOC module, and these 1500 LOC have been verified to the death. Elsewhere, the internal representation of this data structure isn't accessible. Before anyone claims this can be done using object-orientation: No. Object-orientation allows the creation of ill-behaved impostors that are indistinguishable from well-behaved objects unless you use expensive dynamic checks or even more expensive whole-program (and hence non-modular) analyses.

Static typing is also useful to enforce the exhaustiveness of case analyses. Disregarding memory safety issues, which are largely a nonproblem in high-level languages, the vast majority of bugs in computer programs arises from failing to identify corner cases or fully comprehend their complexity. Algebraic data types allow you to substitute ad hoc case analyses with induction on datatypes, for which mechanical exhaustiveness checks are possible, and, in fact, actually performed in practice.

Static typing is also useful as an aid to program verification. Program properties of interest can be classified in two groups: safety properties and liveness properties. Safety properties assert that “bad states are never reached”, and are largely covered by type soundness (for non-abstract types) and type abstraction a.k.a. parametricity (for abstract types). Liveness properties assert that “good states are eventually reached”, and, while types provide less support for verifying liveness properties than safety ones, at least induction on datatypes provides a easy-to-use tool to verify that non-concurrent (but possibly parallel) algorithms will terminate.

All of these benefits fly out of the window if static typing can be circumvented.
Well, because the way that mesh networks (at least mesh-toplogy networks) function is to route packets to neighbors. Nodes don't blindly and neutrally route packets along; they select specific packets to route to specific neighbors.
Personal Finance for Engineers
How so? More committed / better players aim more precisely, and thus benefit the most from a system that judges their shots based on whether they hit the target on their screen - as opposed to a space some distance in front of their target, with the distance depending on their latency to the server (which of course varies depending on the server's location). On the other hand, worse players' aiming has a higher degree of luck/randomness, so it should be less affected by the target being off.

edit: Maybe you mean that lag compensation makes it harder to avoid others' shots. But does that really reward less skilled players? If anything it rewards players with higher ping, but that's not necessarily the same as worse or less committed. I suppose that really uncommitted players are more likely to try to game over some crappy Wi-Fi or even cellular connection, whereas for committed players, latency is more likely to result from distance. But that's a rather low threshold of commitment. In any case, having a really high ping comes with serious disadvantages, including rubber-banding, a harder time avoiding shots, a harder time aiming with anything that isn't lag compensated (e.g. projectiles), etc...

Also,

> High-budget games these days locate servers around the world, so that is not an issue.

Even assuming there are enough players to fill the severs, it's only a non-issue if you're matchmaking alone. If you want to play with specific people - through either a party system or traditional named/player-operated servers - and they happen to live far away, you can't avoid latency. Of course, there's always going to be some ping value beyond which the game isn't worth playing, even with lag compensation - but it's a higher value than without. And at intermediate levels of latency - say, 100ms - lag compensation can be the difference between a passable experience and an effectively perfect one.

How big is a "cup" of coffee in this study?
Fukishima was (maybe) unusual though in that the nuclear accident was in the context of a much larger disaster. The original Japanese advice to stay put and turn off the HVAC was generally pretty good. Radiation from a nuclear reaction decays very rapidly once the reaction stops, and so the worst part of the exposure is going to be in the first days after the accident. Depending on the structure you're in, it's generally healthier to wait a few days before moving and exposing yourself to radiation in transit. For people in a hospital, that goes double, as long as the power is on, and it's possible to filter the air intake. Hospitals are generally big concrete buildings, so staying in one is pretty safe.

In the case of Fukishima, the people being evacuated because of radiation were only a small portion of the casualties from the Tsunami, and so the emergency services were seriously stressed. I'd imagine that evacuating those people would have gone much more smoothly if it hadn't been for all of the other Tsunami damage.

Ok, so ISPs give money to all of Congress, and every single representative in the list is a Republican. Sounds like the vote happened along party lines, then? But does that not invalidate the article's entire thesis? Maybe if they listed the representatives who voted against the bill, and showed that there is a significant difference in contributions, it would support their thesis. But they don't do that.

By Linux do you mean GNU? Because those are the wordiest and least straightforward. BSDs tend to have excellent documentation as do some individual projects (git), while others (OpenSSL) leave something to be desired. And of course GNU tar is a special little hell. But Linux just happens to run on a GNU userland most of the time so you get those a lot.

This same logic can be applied to FOSS software. It could stop being supported at any moment. There’s also zero financial incentive to fix any critical bugs that arise.

As for non-subscription based software, you are simply delaying a pricing increase as the newer versions are needed eventually as new versions contain key features.

Show HN: Slack changes to your public IP address
This is a cool idea, but I’ve seen several similar tools and for some reason have never managed to integrate them into my workflow, so I still just google “scp examples” or use my shell history to find previous times when I figured out how to use a command.
I've noticed a big market gap, ever since I got an electric car. Every EV owner has a 120V AC charger that they can plug in almost anywhere with an outlet, however getting permission is a challenge. Owners of the outlets rightfully want compensation. But a full commercial charger rig is like $1000 at least. That's way too much!

What I'd like is for outlets to have wifi or bluetooth connectivity on them. I just tell the outlet to turn on via some app, and the app/outlet keep track of how long the outlet is on and charges me a flat rate per unit time. Simple. The smarts for this need only cost $13 above what a regular outlet costs, as this project shows.

This would be especially useful in apartments or parking garages. Provided you already have lights, it'd be cheap to run a 120V outlet to within reach of most (or at least a large number of) parking spots. $13 of electronics plus maybe $50 (i.e. a quad outlet of $200 split among 4) to install an outdoor outlet is all it'd cost to electrify a parking space. The owner of the parking lot could offer low cost electricity and, say, make a profit off the difference between residential and commercial/industrial electrical rates (might take a few months to pay for the outlet, but not more than a year for a well-used spot, then the owner makes an easy profit). Everyone wins, and urban EVs become practical for everyone (and a slow charge is fine. of course, you would still want fast chargers to top up if you were doing a lot of driving, but that can be done elsewhere). Also would be pretty cheap to install on all parking meters.

Just need someone to develop that app and an outdoor outlet with a $13 bluetooth relay that talks to the user's app (only the user's app would necessarily need internet connectivity). Someone do this and be a hero.
I can't say much of anything that hasn't already been said here.

Except, that I too keep an 'inner scorecard' for a lot of thing about me and my life. I still d0, but I started realizing that just keeping tabs on things and evaluating myself against others, data, measurements, society when I didn't have all the necessary information proved foolish for me.

I am still trying to stop doing this, but so far my changes have been positive by setting my own goals and working on meeting them for myself. I weigh a lot less. I eat a lot better, etc.

Perhaps just getting rid of unnecessary stress about keeping your 'inner scorecard' could help.

Black Hole Pretenders May Be Superfast-Spinning Pulsars
In about 100 years, people will realize that this kind of research doesn't actually work.

Here's the problem: the human body is an immensely complex system, with millions of factors influencing its status and well-being. Untangling these factors correctly and producing an accurate and sophisticated statistical theory of the body would require a comparably large number of parameters - on the order of millions or more.

Unfortunately, modern medical science relies on low-N observational or clinical trials, with N on the order of hundreds or thousands. In this radically low-data regime it is impossible to justify the use of complex models. If you try to use a complex model, you will just get overfitting. You can use a simple model to avoid overfitting, but there's no reason to believe that a simple model will produce a good approximation of the underlying dynamics.

No. With FOSS you always have the option of hiring someone to fix bugs and make enhancements, or form a coalition of customers to hire people and spread the cost, or doing the work yourself.

> in all honesty, i trust the chinese not to fuck up first contact more with a bellicose message, especially given the west's political incapacitation /fall to fascism

The Chinese have never stopped being routinely bellicose during the CPC era. They annexed Tibet through violence. They're desperate to annex a successful, independent nation - Taiwan - that wants absolutely nothing to do with that. They're willing to use violence to acquire Taiwan as needed. They're currently using bellicose military intimidation and threats to annex an extremely large amount of territory from Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan.

It would be the equivalent of the US routintely threatening to invade Canada to annex Vancouver + Toronto. Then annexing Baja California from Mexico. Then invading Cuba, annexing it and systematically de-Cubanizing the island culturally. Then annexing territorial waters in the Gulf, Caribbean, Pacific and Atlantic from Canada, Mexico and several other Latin American nations.

Show me another nation that has annexed more territory in the last 50 years than China. And they're obviously not done yet.

I've got some further bad news for you. A century of results indicates that Communism is just as bad or worse than Fascism. The overall current human rights position and behavior of the West is radically preferable to that of present day China.

I was lucky to first be introduced to man pages by someone who often just called them "manuals" and (to my best recollection) explained them by telling me "Manuals are to be read, top to bottom, contemplated, and maybe read again, before you act."

Thus I was never under the delusion that man pages were, or should strive to be, How-To's of some sort.

This TLDR tool definitely needs to exist, but in conjunction with man pages, not as a replacement. Manuals should continue to exist in a form that explores and explains the depths of a utility or command in whatever length that might require. I will make adequate use of both.
