I 100% agree, and he is needed more now than ever as rap/hip hop are becoming diluted by non AA cultures. I remember the first time I heard To Pimp A Butterfly. I instantly got the feeling that this was made for us (AA). I have not felt that way since the first time I listened to "Makaveli". If anyone reading is not familiar with some of K.'s earlier work you should go checkout Hol Up, ADHD and rigamortis.
I can see the use case you're going for. As others have mentioned though, this value is not coming as an alternative to markdown but rather an enhancement to HTML in a different use case.

Feels kind of like Sundown:HTML::SCSS:CSS. If you can communicate this (vs being an improvement on markdown), you'll probably get people to take a closer look.
I think $200/h is a low-end average estimate for any type of enterprisey software, open source or not.

If you don't buy expertise in the short term, it may cost you a lot more in the long run.

> A lot of good learning comes out these toy domain languages.

I agree with the learning part but SunSed is not a toy language. I could be wrong about how valuable it's going to be but it's definitely more than a toy.

Sundown is a very simple preprocessor that plays well with the SunSed language. With SunSed, you can create your own HTML tags (that run server-side) and abstract HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Sundown is just the icing on the cake that lets you easily use your custom tags. SunSed language is a complete programming language, you can checkout the tags here:

https://www.sunsed.com/tags/s

Again, I could be wrong on how valuable it's going to be for front-end developers. But I strongly feel that it's a little bit more than a toy! ;)
Is this after running wasm-gc? https://www.hellorust.com/news/native-wasm-target.html
For me it provided insight on how white America views rap (specifically K.). As a long time fan of his I have always wondered of people outside of the AA community recognized his greatness or if it was generally accepted that Macklemore deserved to win that grammy.
Is there no archive of that thread? archive.org got nothing, archive.is got only the first page..

The negotiating leverage of capital vs. labour.

You'll find this in Adam Smith:

[I]n every part of Europe, twenty workmen serve under a master for one that is independent; and the wages of labour are everywhere understood to be, what they usually are, when the labourer is one person, and the owner of the stock which employs him another.

What are the common wages of labour, depends everywhere upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.

It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms. The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen....

I understood the parent comment as VLC supporting rendering as if it was a Chromecast – not casting to one.

And yes, I want that functionality. "Cast to VLC".
Why does trim make a difference though? You're not going to scan the whole disk on each write for duplicates, so you need to guarantee statistically-unique nonces either way, or make sure reuse doesn't matter. Trim doesn't make this any worse/better.

I have a sneaking suspicion that in the not-too-distant future there will be a very significant cultural backlash against all of this noise, all of this hyper-connectedness.
Yes, I am familiar with all of them. :) Rust most of all, and that's another language I'm extremely happy with. The others to lesser extents, and Javascript is the only one of them where I'd say I dislike the language.
This was fascinating.

When I was 15 I read Tupac's The Rose That Grew From Concrete, which helped me understand my neighborhood (I was the only white guy). Kendrick Lamar brought similar feelings in me. The toughest album to listen to is Section 80; It’s not polished but it’s powerful.

To find focus in this comment, I suggest that we all look for ways to improve our own understanding and compassion. If you've “made it”, please consider doing something for others. Monetary help is great but if just 1 in 100 people donates their time it might render higher impact. Teach code in a local school, sort clothing in good will, work in your particular house of worship, or lend a hand in a soup kitchen.

It's almost as if you didn't even bother reading the sentence immediately following.

If you're writing a library doing things like this is a bad idea (except in very limited circumstances). And to what seems to be every non-Rubyist's surprise, virtually no libraries in practice actually do this sort of thing so there are never problems in practice.

The times I do this sort of thing in my own application code, I put the methods in a module and have a hook that raises an exception if the methods already exist when the module is included. This is the best of both worlds: I can add features that don't exist, but am informed immediately when my app launches if such a method has already been defined.

You can't really generalize this to everyone. It's dependent on your managers, and there are definitely people in the world who will fire an otherwise good employee for showing bad "optics" to other employees. You may not want to work in such an environment, but that is of course a luxury to be able to choose.
It is beta-ish still, so that may go away. I was more looking for comments about the features, pipeline etc.

Also, regarding logs the site says this:

They changed a lot of pixels in a way that led a human to classify the image as not notably changed but led one AI to classify it as a different type of object. Of course the same thing is possible with human and AI reversed, there are images that are obvious to some AI but that would be misclassified by humans.

Humans do have the advantage that our vision system can draw on a huge repository of real-world knowledge and has been fed with decades of high resolution training data.
I am genuinely glad that my TV licence is being put to good use (in the UK, public broadcast TV is paid for: we pay a licence fee to own a TV, currently £147) There are around 60M people here in ~27M households(do the maths)

The BBC (Beeb, Auntie) is an anachronism in the modern world but it works. For example Blue Planet II is an example of cutting edge journalism that I don't think could have happened if Netflix, Amazon were the only game in town.

Similar sentiment here. Luckily I had the chance to move ruby->clojure professionally.

I used said chance, but I try not to disconnect too much from the ruby world as it's such a nice/productive ecosystem.

You never know when your Ruby skills can save the day again!
Generalization bounds aren't even hard, though. They're in the form of "probably approximately correct", - there's no way to guarantee that any particular example won't be misclassified.
Jenkins and any other CI/CD tool is a prime candidate for immutable infrastructure; it’s the one thing that nobody cares about too much until it no longer works, and it is relatively easy to get going with scripts or Docker

The rest just makes sense. If you want a total average, mix everything together.
yes. salesman bullshit. i think it was tensorflow that was flaky.
This seems to me a bit like a zero-knowledge proof. The company wants to hide it's source code, but claims the source code can identify DNA evidence correctly. The public wants to believe them, but how can we?

Well, what if every time the prosecutor wanted to use such evidence, they had to include say 10 other samples of to test and the DNA of 10 other suspects unrelated to the case? It would be more expensive I imagine, but it could lead to more fair evidence- if this technique really does work, it should be able to accurately identify the noise variables and point out the signal. If there is no signal, great. If there's lots of false signals, then we know this is bullshit.

Truthfully, my worry here is that if you have 5 DNA testing companies, and 1 always gives the prosecutors the answers they want, they'll be the ones who get more business. We need a way to ensure accuracy.
The US has greater income inequality than many third world countries.
I'm not sure you did.

People who don't use Ruby seem to think this is a huge thing that you run into constantly. It's not. People are for the most part pretty responsible with these things.
I really like this. Might use this for my blog as HTML disrupted the flow of typing and yet I couldn't find a satisfactory way to do it with Markdown.
Education is what moves the needle, so there’s something to that.

Image tag in Sundown is easier than Markdown:

:s:img http://link-to-image.jpg image alt tag

Or how about embedding a tweet:

:twitter:embed http://link-to-tweet

Or, youtube, user sign-up form and more...

You are absolutely right! There is a trade-off. Some tags are easier in Markdown (e.g. bold, italic, inline code and a few others). But you cannot extend markdown with your own custom elements can you?

Sundown by itself is not that useful. It gets really useful when you use it as a preprocessor for your own custom HTML tags.

Here I explain how you can create your own server-side HTML tags:

https://www.sunsed.com/manual/creating-tag

Again, Sundown is just a HTML preprocessor you can write all of the above tags like this:

Oh yes it was the worst.
Wow, people are butthurt. It's a wildly known fact in the industry. A simple google search for benchmarks or a PDF like this would have satisfied them. But they didn't want the truth they wanted to be butthurt.

In basically every chart and graph, OpenCL is slower.

OpenCL has a higher level of abstraction, so it's got a higher penalty for it. But, you get cross-platform support. nVidia doesn't optimize for OpenCL either because they don't want you to use it over their own competing framework.

But 'dats cool, keep downvoting, guys. Sources aren't real if you can downvote 'em enough. God, I love Hacker News.
I was confused too at first, but reading it the second time it seems the article is about a scientist trying to prove some of the earliest iron artifacts were made out of iron rocks from meteorites.

> “The main contribution of Jambon’s approach is that he has developed a method that allows us to test this hypothesis nondestructively,” says Martinón-Torres. Jambon was particularly interested in searching these artifacts for nickel, which is not found in smelted iron. By contrast, meteoritic iron is usually high in nickel and cobalt.

In the article, the author said archeologists:

> Humans didn’t really master the process and produce iron at a large scale until around 1200 B.C

and then she went to note

> Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, who died in 1324 B.C., for example, was buried with an iron headrest....

> Egyptian hieroglyphics referred to iron as being “from the sky,”

So was headrest made out of an iron from a meteorite, or was it extracted from an ore on Earth (through smelting)?

Okay... that seems fair. But when was that Egytian reference made? Before 1200BC or before 1324BC?

To add more confusion, later in the article:

> It has been thought, for example, that the iron used by the Egyptians came from an early smelting industry in Anatolia, where the Hittites may have started to work iron as early as 1500 B.C.

To summarize based on my understanding:

1. Extracting iron from an ore did not happen at large scale until 1200BC

2. But some smelting started as early as 1500BC

3. Iron artifacts were recovered from pharaoh Tutankhamun who died in 1324BC had.

4. Numerous references to “falling from rhe sky” from numerous civilizations, including some “iron hunting” trading.

5. So were some of the early iron artifacts made out of iron meteorite or were they made out of an iron ore?

While the main objective seems “clear” to me, the whole article is too confusing and hard to follow through. If my summary is right, ugh, I advise everyone to writr the outline in bullet points.

(Incidentally, just noticed there’s a submission on writing essays on HN right now)
yea man no insight to be found whatsoever in war and peace, Iliad, 2001 space Odyssey, the wall, waiting for Godot, Lolita, Carmen. if it's not obvious I'm being facetious: there's immense insight in "entertainment". good kid maad city, tpab and damn are masterworks of poetry/song. just because you don't understand them doesn't mean they're not valuable.
No, what I mean is that I'd only switch from reagent with react for a better-than-reagent fw based on vue.
Doesn't make sense. You don't provide an entirely new object when you call `setState()`, just the parts of it that have changed.

When you use `Object.assign()` then you're doing it, but you don't have to use that, and probably shouldn't.
Mutability is still harder to reason about in many/most cases. I thought that was always the main driver behind pure FP.

You are right. Thank you for the insight! How about this:

Sundown and Markdown are both HTML preprocessors with different goals.
I liked the article, but I didn't see anything in the article that I would be willing to project on more than a tiny slice of white Anericans. Certainly no valid generalizations.

This comes up in /r/rust periodically, and IIRC the answer is still pretty much "no". It is getting better, though, slowly. I'm on my phone and too lazy to find a link for you, but search /r/rust for discussions about GUI libraries/frameworks.
Would agree with your view, but Lisps are arbitrarily powerful by the means of macros and interop.

In my daily work (Clojure) I can use different concurrency and typing models than Clojure originally envisioned, via core.async, clojure.spec. This is not some fairy tale or toy/PLT project.

Super excited to see something hip-hop related at the top of HN, especially Kendrick.

For anyone looking to understand why he's likely one of the best lyricists/storytellers of our time, here's some recommended songs from him:

* Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst

* Momma

* Wesley's Theory

I'd recommend checking out his projects as a whole (Section.80, Good Kid m.a.a.d City, To Pimp a Butterfly), but those songs distill a lot of what's best in him.

“Formal proof” and “mechanized proof” are not synonymous. And proof assistants have a long way to go before they can be useful for mathematics in general.
It's a sequence of Unicode characters that's supposed to render as the Welsh flag. The first character U+1F3F4 BLACK FLAG seems to be missing (at least when I copy and paste it); that's followed by "tag letters" from the U+E0061-U+E007A spelling "gbwls". See https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#valid-emoji-tag-sequences

I think the BLACK FLAG is getting removed by HN's emoji filtering, but the modifier characters after it are remaining.
Those transpile to JS though, not Web Assembly, don't they?

Speak for yourself. I go home everyday at 3pm. I'm a productive worker and I know how much I contribute. I never miss a project deadline, always finish what I'm assigned to in a sprint, and don't chitchat with people throughout the day. I get in at 11 am and leave 3pm. I don't care what anyone thinks because at the end of every sprint, I know that my boss and other leaders get together and look at productivity and place me at the top of the chart.

When things get busy, I don't hestitate to pull some weekends for my boss because we have a mutual understanding. I get paid almost twice as the going salary for Silicon Valley and I happily work my ass off for the company. It's win win for everyone
Would you kindly raise the level of discourse here? You have useful information, so thanks for sharing it. But please leave the swipes and complaints about downvotes and HN members out of it. It worsens discussion and is against the guidelines. You’ll likely receive downvoted for that, more than anything else.
No they're not. If I spend time in quiet contemplation that doesn't mean I'm lonely. Unless it's for an extended period of time with no meaningful connection to another person, it's not loneliness, it's just quiet.
At SunSed we provide a cloud IDE to our users so they can easily update their website. Every time they make a change the IDE automatically saves the file and on the server we had to compile Markdown -> HTML+SunSed(custom HTML tags) -> Executable. Not to mention bulk website upload, backups and restores (a website could have thousands of pages). Markdown was the slowest part with the most resource usage.

I actually bench marked all of the Markdown implementatinos back in 2016 (or early 2017). https://github.com/vmg/sundown was by far the fastest!
Not all markdown processors implement inline HTML, which I learned to my detriment recently (the "markdown" package on npm doesn't).
I've heard PS/2 was faster (because it's a direct ISA/PCI device / hardware interrupt?), whereas USB can introduce more latency because it has no real-time guarantee and it's packet-based.

https://superuser.com/questions/16893/do-usb-or-ps-2-keyboar...

>There are a number of interesting results, but the point relevant to this question is that there was a fairly significant variance between keyboards, and all the USB keyboards tested had a longer effective scan interval (18.77 ms - 32.75 ms) than the PS/2 keyboards (2.83 ms - 10.88 ms).

> * Practice empathy. People usually don't want advice, they most often simply want someone else to understand their experiences. If they are open to advice and you have a tidbit of wisdom, share it kindly and with obvious humility

This is a thing I sometimes crave... People are very eager to teach you lessons and give one advice after another, when you open yourself up even the tiniest bit, if your life is even slightly unconventional. So annoying; if I'm telling my story, it's because I want to share it and lighten my heart, and I'm not stupid, I know what you tell me already, and a bit more, given the topic is my life. I'm an aspiring researcher in humanities, but I know me some programming and a couple foreign languages. Every time the topic of future comes up, and if I make the stupid mistake of talking about my worries and plans, I'm bombarded with suggestions on how to put my skills to use, how to become rich, how I should just quit this laziness, this idleness and spend my time doing something useful. The best thing to do after listening to someone sharing their problems, worries etc. is either to make them speak more, or to nod your head, and pass on to some other topic, related or not. And if one really wants to help, just ask whether they want you to help and if yes how to help.
Cixl – a minimalistic scripting language
Forget it. It's a different culture, it's void to try to understand this without leaving your previous point of view.

And for the laughs, I've been taught java first, and read a lots of C code, and I had a very bad understanding of what was going on. APL or similar don't cause that confusion. Actually, after years of FP, I now get C a lot more. To quite Hickey, it's not easy but it's simple. There's a set of primitives and operations, a clear system. It fits some peoples brain. For others, imperative state machine are just what they like.
The article actually gets some of the finer points of the content in the album. To Pimp A Butterfly was really refreshing but DAMN hit me way harder. I must have spent about 3 or 4 days listening to it on repeat. It has a lot of really deep meaning, complete with some hard hitting contradictions, which the article mentions. It made me say “damn!” out loud several times.
Let's take an example I read the other day about recent nobel prize winner in literature Kazuo Ishiguro.

He thought he was finsihed writing his book and coincidentally listened to a ballad by Tom waits which left such an impression on him that he changed the ending of the book that won him the nobel prize.

In his own words "The song is sung in the voice of a rough American hobo type utterly unaccustomed to wearing his emotions on his sleeve. And there comes a moment, when the singer declares his heart is breaking, that’s almost unbearably moving because of the tension between the sentiment itself and the huge resistance that’s obviously been overcome to utter it. Waits sings the line with cathartic magnificence, and you feel a lifetime of tough-guy stoicism crumbling in the face of overwhelming sadness."

This goes to show that insight can come from entertainment.

Also Kendrick has numerous songs with similar emotion evoking moments as the one described by Ishiguro.
It’s not optimizing for “comfort in looking up”. Also, cars are only a necessity when you can’t walk everywhere. San Francisco is already a city where the majority don’t own a car. Making it more dense won’t undo that.
