Not OP here -- but I've been putting off re-writing a mess of a nodejs to binary (nexe = huge binary, gah!) implementation of a simple utility http service in hopes that Crystal would gain windows support. I've been stalling for a few months.

I have seen that you were able to make some progress here, awesome!

It looks like Windows support for Crystal is too far off on the horizon, however. I'll be starting the re-write in Rust instead, unfortunately.

I think there could be strong demand for Crystal on Windows. There are a lot of ruby devs out there or people who simply prefer writing ruby-like code, who would automatically jump to crystal _just_ for this reason.

Regardless of whether the claims in the video are true or 100% false, Twitter is willing to silence speech from a political candidate under (at the very least) these circumstances.
The answer isn't in an app. Its where you live.
Yes, it's the one where you spend more time in meetings, having people come up to your desk, phonecalls, etc.

People focusing full-time on the task at hand is an illusion and always has been; if it was real, it'd be bleak, depressing and more like forced labor / code monkeying than an ideal. There's a few people that can do it and actually enjoy it, but I'm fairly sure the vast majority would go mad.

I suppose most confederate monuments are not copyrighted, unless they have been created after Mickey Mouse.
Wars are already outlawed in international law after WWII. They are allowed only for self defense and only if UN security council approves them. That's why formal declarations of war don't happen anymore. UN resolutions and claims for self defense have taken their place. Or they are just "operations".

But War finds the way... War is ultimately a political issue, not a legal issue.

If you’re willing to go this far then it is just a plain pyramid scheme, that doesn’t really have anything to do with cryptocurrency.
You're making some implicit assumptions:

1. Your idea is a good.

2. You will succeed at your business.

2. You will make money quickly.

There's a good chance your idea won't work, and even if it does from what I've read SaaS takes a long time to make real money. And during that time you'll need to spend a lot of time talking to customers and trying to figure out what to do improve things for them.

So basically you need the dedication to spend the next 1-2 years of your life catering to people you don't like. On the face of it that seems unlikely. More likely you'll give up in six months.

Instead of going "idea -> do work", try going in reverse direction. Pick group of people you actually like, then do research on them, then get idea based on what you learn about their problems. Benefits are your idea is more likley to work, when you get discouraged you'll have evidence to look back to, and you'll actually enjoy your work which again makes it more likely you don't give up.

The definition of complex numbers is not arbitrary, though. It falls out of the way real numbers work, and it's pretty much predetermined once you start investigating "impossible" roots of polynomials.

Interesting questions are 1) why do we care about polynomials and 2) how do polynomial roots motivate complex numbers.

I think I have suffered from loneliness before. A stomach-stabbing loneliness really. No friends to truly communicate, going on car drives with no destination/intention but to just think, walking in the evening hoping someone would strike a conversation, etc. Though I find my loneliness usually arises because I expect something different than what already is. Expecting something different than what is is a way to suffer (accept what is, and you’re free?). Consequently, I find that I must make a home out of this loneliness. You know how when you move into a new place and you are organizing or reorganizing or maybe decorationing your work station at home to make it feel comfortable and home-y? Well, that’s what I think I had to do internally to make my loneliness not loneliness. I suppose convert loneliness into solitude.

Then again, I have this vague thought that many people suffer from loneliness (depression, etc) because of how we are raised, how society, culture, civilization, have molded our minds. I think in modern day, consciousness is everything. But because it’s an unknowable object, we ignore it or worse: pretend it doesn’t exist. Consequently, we end up hard-headed in a matrix of half-baked beliefs, lonely, depressed, fearful, and anxious. I don’t know, the whole social order I think is set up in order to avoid the unknowable, if you will, of what everything is. The idea that the radio is blaring at all times. That we are all taught to listen to channels but never taught to turn it off and listen to the silence. If only we were to listen we would see that from the unknowable arises a reflection; the consciousness of everything, the I-am. At this point, I think, sort of in the poverty of true humility, everything that appears is seen as a miracle. The birds chirping in the morning is as much of a miracle as being in the perfect spot in the knowable universe for life to exist. The question then arises: Why is it that we remain deaf/blind running around anxiously in the noise when pure consciousness is right here out in the open all the time?

Above all: I think loneliness may be combated through several forms: reading really good fiction, doing drugs (weed in particular), having passionate sex, or any form of escapism. I find that the latter are only temporary ways to combat loneliness. If we would like to conquer loneliness, making a home of yourself and reflecting on what truly is is really important.

This is purely anecdotal, but some of the most prominent notifications FB sends me is when someone who's been inactive for a while posts something. For example, I had one friend who posts maybe once or twice a year, and I would always be notified if that person posted something new, like when he suddenly posted an album of his recent vacation to Europe.

With that being said, the FB algorithm beast is far too complex to figure out by guessing, so experiences like the one being outlined in this twitter post are probably all too common.
Why this hostility for a link ?

If you had visited the web page you would know that the content was quite long for a comment and the formatting would disappear.

If you were an academic or a regular internet user, you would know about the virtue of references.

At least I know why I was downvoted instead of getting a sensible reply. Thanks for that explanation.
This kind of writing is not generally accessible so it's unclear and takes more effort to parse than more simplified language.

For example:

Because screen-based interaction is premised on temporal immediacy, we are, as users forced into a state of hyper-attention where we must constantly fight against the, largely commercial, attempts to make us look at something else

While I personally like the way this sentence is written, and is similar to my natural writing style, it's not easy to parse.

It could have as easily been written as:

"For most people, the time they spend on the computer is littered with distractions, and intentionally so, as corporations want to capture your attention by suggesting another video, viewing more content or offering a shiny ad."

You keep the emotion and information (lossy), but make it easier to read.

> Where did Western people get iodine before it was necessary to add it to salt?

Iodine is so soluble that it's quite scarce other than in the ocean. And yep, people who lived inland (and thus didn't eat seafood) in premodern times were often iodine deficient.
Hi,
yes, we are listening :)

First of all the Librem5 is as open as possible, i.e. if there is a way to support this or another kind of mesh networking then you will be able to add this function to the Librem5 - as long as the software needed for this is free and works on Linux on ARM (ARM64 to be more precise). There will be no restrictions from our side, none at all.

But I also have to point out that we are bound to what we find on the market, concerning hardware and drivers. The latter can be modified to support what is needed for meshes but hardware usually is hard to change. We are currently looking for as good as possible free software supported WiFi and BT chips that do not require runtime firmware and are power saving enough for a mobile device. This turns out not to be very easy. Once we settle on some type we will check thoroughly for mesh requirements.

So yes, your voice(s) are heard! And we will do our best to support mesh networking, in soft- and hardware on the Librem5.

Cheers

I was talking to a professor of electrical engineering who performs research on the electric grid. She said that while in theory it is possible to configure cars to charge themselves when electricity is cheapest, currently residential utility plans don’t adjust pricing based on time of day. Your electricity bill’s tiers are based on your total consumption.

Edit: lol, I get downvoted for relaying what a professor of EE told me. Stay classy HN.
You have a point there.

On HN you always see people asking questions about: "how do I hire people?" or "how do I get hired?" -- you hear these questions much less often that you hear "what do I do with people once I have hired them?"
Real numbers almost certainly are just as fictional as complex numbers. Physics doesn't seem to admit infinitely precise measurements, so literally no theoretical device can operate with real numbers.

Even if real numbers are "real", only a countable number of them are computable, even in theory. The rest are probably completely inaccessible, barring hypercomputation. (Interestingly, access to true real numbers gives you hypercomputation as a side-effect)
How do you get people to consume spirulina? Preference and taste get involved. Everyone eats salt. Salt was used to preserve things. Salt is used as a flavor enhancer. Salt is consumed far more ubiquitously than anything else. And, it doesn’t spoil if you dont consume it all in a couple weeks.
Funnily enough there is an Italian phrase: "avere sale in zucca" (to have salt in one's head (literally pumpkin here)), which means to be smart.
I rarely find code style articles to be interesting, but this one spoke to me. I've seen this happen a lot in Python and C codebases, possibly because the languages encourage/allow long procedural functions.

AMD's ROCm Platform is relatively new, as far as I can tell. The most intriguing part of it to me is the HCC Compiler, which seems to be based on Microsoft's C++ AMP project. It seems like HCC and HIP are AMD's answer to "CUDA" (since OpenCL is too unwieldy to use due to juggling "multiple sources").

The main downside is that my own personal computer is too old to run ROCm. There's a requirement of PCIe 3.0 and a relatively modern AMD GPU (4xx series and above basically).

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much discussion about this platform yet. So I really don't know much about it. If people could talk about their experiences with ROCm, I'd definitely be interested!
>it's only purpose is to enhance taste

No.

>there is no need for an extra sodium intake because our food has plenty

Depends on the food and other environmental factors. The reason why a preference for salt evolved in the first place was because we didn't get enough salt in our food, especially warm climates, which is incidentally where we started out. Same reason why herbivores frequent salt licks, their normal diets don't contain enough sodium or other minerals.

What you said would have been true if we were carnivores.

Sea salt naturally has some iodine in it (less than it has Bromine because of both sedimentation and bio absorption). Iodine is in the same column of the periodic table as chlorine, which makes Sodium Iodide (NaI) a natural cohabitor with Sodium Chloride (NaCl) in solution. What's suggested is only 50grams (2oz) per ton or 50ppm... which is less than Bromine in sea water (65ppm). We mammals probably evolved eating a lot more fish!
So what's the Recommended Daily Allowance for the important nutrient thallium? Or polonium? Half the stuff you've listed are toxins, not nutrients.
Instead of an app I think we need to rethink our living arrangements.

Where I live (Japan) living alone is the new norm. After I moved out of university dorms I've lived in little shoebox apartments with my own little kitchen, my own little bathroom and no need to cross paths with any of the other 100 people in my building at all. I see that a lot of the new apartment blocks around my city are full of small, single-occupancy apartments too.

There are no communal spaces. There are no chance encounters. People seem to feel like there is too much risk in meeting new people, let alone dining with them.

There have been some shared houses popping up here and there. But they are viewed as as exceptional and unconventional. Social interaction has become a peculiar character trait rather than a normal part of life.
A few of the best were:

What Technology Wants by Kevin Kelly. A really profound and interesting look into what technology is. Technology evolves through the same sort of Darwinian process that life evolves. Technology is in some sense alive, and Kelly's perspective on it is wonderfully refreshing. I also read his book Out of Control, which is fantastic.

Sapiens by Yuval Harari. Enough people are talking about this one that I don't have to say much, suffice it to say it's a fascinating look into human history a la Guns, Germs, and Steel.

The Lucifer Principle by Howard Bloom. If you're a fan of Harari you'll love this one. It's an alternative scientific look at evil, and how evil appears to be encoded into our species.

Hyperspace by Michio Kaku. Kaku is an amazing popular science writer bar none and this is his exploration of modern physics and string theory. The most concise and understandable explanation of modern physics I've read, which is part for the course with Kaku.

Red Queen by Matt Ridley. A fascinating look at sex, and why the human sex drive, and therefore human nature, is the way it is.

> What if some people find BLM "bigoted speech".

Black Lives Matter is a political advocacy group that protests police and state violence perpetrated against Black people. Bigoted speech is speech that denigrates people based on ascribed statuses (gender identification, sexual orientation, race). These are blatantly not the same thing.

Words have meaning. If we have a law that says "killing people is illegal" and you force me into a dead-end 12 hour a day 7 days a week job for the rest of my life, I can't say "you killed me" even if spiritually you might have. That's not what "kill" means.

If your argument is that people interpret words differently and consequently laws are inherently too ambiguous, that's another argument against all laws. And even though the premise is correct - human languages are by their nature imprecise - that's why we have courts.

Most of your arguments boil down to: you can't do this perfectly, therefore you shouldn't do it. But that's not at all how law works, and if we were to apply this standard to laws we would never write one.

> How about we fight together to preserve our freedom of speech?

Sure, but that's not under assault here. Can we also fight together to protect the two-thirds of Americans who suffer under racism, misogyny, homophobia and discrimination?
No, because spirulina isn't widely consumed.

Depending on people deciding to eat healthy is a surefire way to fail to meet public health goals.
