Yes I have. J and Wasp Lisp are tiny ecosystems, and I like that a lot about them. Julia is trying to be a Matlab replacement and a whole lot more. I'm going to wait until it matures. I'm teetering on Zig and Rust for my C replacement and as a hook into J’s libraries, or a Wasp VM written in Rust.
Whilst perhaps a little harsh in its tone, this comment appears to be the only one commenting on the fact that it sounds like he only ported the existing game from web, didn’t create it.

So, depending on how much split with the original coder/creator that 800k might not have gone very far, and seems pretty good for “A port”. I wonder if/why not forming a small studio with the original creator would have worked.
Amazon are the same folks who store their infra status page on their own infra, which is fine when it's up, and pretty useless when it's down. Even the smartest people are still just people - it's worth trusting several groups of smart people over just one.
curious, where are these tends of thousands of transactions occuring directly from consumer to paying for a product at a brick and mortar location?

Let's not count bitcoin mixers and drug transactions.
That's exactly my point.

I expect it was, as the other commenter said, probably via an IDE like PyCharm. I never asked because there's no good way to ask a question like that.

But that's my point, people's knowledge is all over the place. It's probably a joke, but it could easily not be.
I would also like to know this. I don't know if there's a save function in h.news or not so leaving a comment

here's a paper from 2009 that directly contradicts you. why do you feel the need to bring nationality into the discussion? you think mentioning that there are a lot of chinese on hackernews will silence the facts?

My guess is: English is his second language, but yes, I had a real hard time getting through that one. That piece would improve greatly with a little proofreading.
I've never heard this before, and a skim of the wiki page doesn't mention it as a prerequisite. Mind explaining? The scores are just integers, so the addition is well defined. So you're saying that the context is what's relevant?

Not that the mean is the only (or even the most useful) statistic.
I don't understand why this is a goal...

Yes if machines could self-teach the way humans do, they'd be really powerful. However, in many ways programs are better than people, and we try to get people systems be MORE like software.

Often times you want a system with hard, uncompromising rules, following a strict process without exceptions (e.g. an ATM). Bank tellers try to be non-human and ATM-like.

The real dichotomy is between predefined systems and adaptive systems, and there are times we want each. Also, despite the author's fantasy, I don't see any reason to believe life as a whole would be better if computers did both.
Privaledge? Role? Come on man, edit the article a little.

Your comment seems intended to imply that parents of poor people will engage in nuclear war when rich parents engineer their children to have higher IQ scores. I doubt that scenario will come to pass.
And records. You would typically define a record type to do the heavy lifting in, and do some lightweight conversions to and from JS. Here's an example:

[@bs.deriving jsConverter]
type person = {name: string, age: int};

let bob = {name: "Bob", age: 33};
let olderBob = {...bob, age: bob.age + 1};
let () = Js.log(personToJs(olderBob));

Restriction of range: what it is and why it matters
I think you're missing the critical piece of your explanation of why negative prices aren't good for consumers:

The reason that negative power prices look like they would be good for consumers is that it seems like they should lower their monthly bills. But in practice their bill should stay the same, even if there were significant periods during which energy prices were negative. Why? The negative prices don't indicate that the cost of power production is negative for the power company, so the power company is losing money. The power company has to recoup those losses somehow, and they do it by charging more when power prices are positive.

In order to take advantage of negative power prices, a power consumer would have to dynamically increase their power consumption in response to the negative prices. If they have any significant power storage capacity, maybe they could store power and sell it back to the grid when prices go positive, or maybe turn on their mining rig while prices are negative, if they go negative frequently.

Battery would probably be a no-go here.

You can't put repeater into sleep mode[#], and in active AP+STA mode ESP8266 takes 70mA @3.3v, which is 3-4 times lower than best purpose-made wifi repeaters, but will still drain 3000mA*h battery in couple of days.

[#] ...unless whole sensor network has scheduled "data upload" internals, something like 1-minute window twice a day. But even that is going to be very tricky due to notoriously poor precision of ESP's real-time clock - see for example https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/2724
Compared to some of HN's 'mega successes' he actually did quite well. There is still quite a bit of survivor bias at work here and if he had to do it all over again he would likely change some decisions but you can do far worse than this. What I like is that it shows adaptability and a willingness to try again and again until something actually worked.
This one adds some details of where the $800k revenue went.

Apples cut of 30% drops it to $553k. Since it was a port of someone else's game half goes to them, so his actual income was $278k for the 16 months from start to end of 2015.

Still a significant take-home but makes it more understandable why he had to take on contract work when his subsequent games did not hit iOS pay-dirt. I wish him the best, iOS is a brutal market.
there is some nuance that ought to be given, since a) 4% of professionals dissent, and b)

That's roughly the same % of professionals that I've heard dissent about global warming, yet dissenting about that will get you labeled as stupid and/or corrupt. So what makes it worth calling out for nuance here?
If I recall correctly, one of the Compass VC analyses covered serial entrepreneurs and found that there was no increase in success rates and each attempt looked independent. There's just that much randomness in it, and I suppose the various selection effects cancel out.

CAR and CDR can possibly work very well in Japanese, I have discovered:

https://www.reddit.com/r/lisp_ja/comments/78i4ws/

CAR -> karu -> 借る　(to borrow)

CDR -> kudaru -> 下る (to descend)

"Borrow" the first value/reference, or "descend" to the next cell.

The usual readings are カー/クダー (kaa/kudaa); these have to be altered to have a final ル (ru) rather than "aa".

The world isn't all English; someone's Anglo-centric quibble about how "cdr" doesn't mean anything means nothing to someone speaking another language.

By the way, descend starts with D:

C(Ante-, Ascend)R

C(Descend)R

I myself seem to be carrying the vestiges of a poorly articulated, subconscious connection to anno domini (A.D.).
better off just getting some patch antennas and using them.. though that's more expensive then foil, it does give you better control of the directions.
They do that in Panama. (They even do intracontry travel id checks) Apparently they've had issues with criminals coming in and hiding in the jungles)
That's not how that works at all.
> I think these are great for people with experience using embedded electronics and comfortabke with soldering and low level programming (I.e probably a significant portion of HN readers).

Those days are over. The new chips come with a high level language like python, pip. You can program it like you would with a digital ocean box but with a lot more constraints in hardware.

I haven't done any soldering but I don't see why that should turn people off. I mean I am worried about the toxic fumes but I'm sure theres way to mitigate that.

The whole point of having my own chip and programming it is the experience itself. Particle.io does not make sense to me as it seems to be another commercialization via platforming of this space which might make sense in enterprise but for the hobbyist, I doubt it.
The problem is when necessary human coping mechanisms combine with capitalism.

That's when you get children's advertising for junkfood. Facebook pushing controversial shock stories to stir up users. And the War on Drugs leading to environments like the Opioid crisis.

I wonder if this is even avoidable - exercise for example is a huge industry and whether you're paying for a gym membership, exercise classes, or a new bike, you're paying...
Saw a vid on youtube where a guy uses a metal kitchen strainer as a dish antenna for his laptop wifi out in the middle of farm field. The 'available networks' list shrinks and grows as he points it in various directions.
Antennas are usually built to 1/2 or 1/4th the size of the wavelength. I'd imagine that's why - but am curious myself if it is something else. It's the only 1/4th fraction that comes to mind.
First thing that crossed my mind.

Acting like there's a conspiracy against you is not helping your case at all, it's just making you look paranoid and unreasonable.
Even people without true friends need acquitances and social contact. The consequence for many is not knowing about social activities at all and thus not being able to participate at all because they tend to get organized over facebook. Moreover, there is such a thing as being special snowflake that refuses to use same practical tool as everyone and demand that others do out of way especially for him.

Lastly, not everyone has super rich social life that would make it easy to make and keep friends. Many people work a lot of hours in companies that change every 2 year, limiting opportunities for friends time. Others have children they already feel they spend too little time with. The loose connection when you react to each others posts is much better then comelet cut off.
In lots of tech fields the comp packages are so high this shouldn't be an issue. With good financial planning lots of engineers could actually retire in just ~15 years or so of work.
They do for GE. I'm not sure why they gave me a RFID card for it. I've always used my fingerprints and passport to get back in via that.

I'm ok with the idea of an opt-in program like GE. With that you understand that your data is being scrutinized and that you're voluntarily giving them your image data+your biodata. I'm not cool with this new introduction of an exit verification as that it's not a formal thing and it's just being pushed on the populous.

This kind of thing really makes you wonder when the American people became enemy combatants. (This has been happening for years)
There are 1000's of kilometers (miles if you prefer) of unsecured border in the North. You could leave and re-enter the US without being aware of it, much easier still on the lakes.
Same boat here, I in no way approve of this. From a pragmatic POV, though, I’ve spent 35 years wandering the U. S. on my motorcycle, and probably most Canadian provinces. I’ve covered 49 of 50 states, but Canada still has a lot of holes. If I can get to the Northwest Territories, more Yukon, the Maritimes I’ve missed, all before old age takes me, I’ll consider that good.

So it makes it pretty easy to fly once, twice a year at most. Between the CO2 output of a cross-country flight and all the responsible parties making flying as unappealing as possible, if I never step foot on a plane again it would be fine by me.
Yes, there are wayward children who need an education about fascism. But not because they are in some vacuum of senae. What has also happened since WWII is there are now wayward adults who are labeling things fascist that aren’t. So children are confused because there are some legitimate points of confusion. “Anti-fascism means burning cars?” “Voting for Trump means someone is a fascist?” These are not trivial ideas that appear neatly resolved to the mind of a child. They are things we must give children space to understand.

And the existence of those conversations on the internet with innocent children taking either side is not a sign of the downfall of civilization—or even the downfall of the internet. It’s the kids racing ahead through Hegelian dialectics, deconstructing ideas that many adults are either too smart or too afraid to deconstruct.

But the internet is deconstructing everything, fractally painting and repainting the universe inside every idea. A whole universe inside My Little Pony. A whole universe inside Planetary physics. And yes, a whole universe within facism. With fascist candy canes. It is splintering and cataloging all of human consciousness, and then every idea will be animated in AI form.

That should terrify you, but not because fascism will be back. It should terrify you because all culture will be detached from its embodiment like a crab from its shell.
How would that work? Any coin that is bought is also sold, so you're saying that the buys come from a few people buying big amounts? But all those sellers were buyers at some point...
The ESP8266 is quite cool, but there is one annoying drawback if you are trying to run on batteries. It does not support waking from deep sleep on GPIO activity. Deep sleep only supports waking via timer or via reset.

I believe that the other two sleep modes (modem sleep and light sleep) support waking on GPIO activity, but they don't save as much power.

Modem sleep just disables WiFi between DTIM beacon intervals. In this sleep it draws between about 15 mA and 16 mA current average, depending on the DTIM beacon interval.

Light sleep is like modem sleep, but also turns off the system clock. That gets you down to an average of between 0.5 mA and 2 mA, depending ton the DTIM beacon interval.

In deep sleep, everything is off except the real time clock. That cuts current down to around 0.02 mA.

Two of the sensors I have don't fit in well with that kind of deep sleep.

One is a cup anemometer. It briefly closes a switch once per revolution. Wind speed = rotation rate times a constant. If I just wanted to check the average wind speed every so often, it would be fine--the ESP8266 could wake up and stay awake for a few resolutions to get the speed, send it, and go back to sleep.

It could be hooked up to reset the ESP8266 each time the switch closes, but in high wind that could generate resets so fast that the ESP8266 would not have time to connect to WiFi and send data.

Also, I'd like to get more information on wind gusts, and so really want to record the time of each switch closure.

The other is a tipping rain gauge. It briefly closes a switch for every 0.01" of rain. That one probably could be used directly with the ESP8266 by making it generate a reset on each switch closure. I don't think my area ever gets rain intense enough to make those resets happen fast enough to cause problems.

What I'm thinking of do is relegating the ESP8266 to just dealing with WiFi, and using something like an ATiny84 to handle the sensors.

The ATiny84 and ESP8266 can be connected via I2C or SPI or similar. The ESP8266 can then spend most of its time in deep sleep, being woken every so often by the RTC. When it wakes it can get the accumulated data from the ATiny84 and upload it.

Amazing how Facebook is the new Dungeons and Dragons, corrupting people's minds through (now scientific) invisible demons.
I can't tell from the pictures, but around that time period diamond grit drive wheels came into use. Either the top or bottom drive wheels would have a diamond grit on their surface which would make an indentation pattern in the paper which acted to key the paper in place. The registration was even better than drilled paper which could develop a little slop around the pins and the holes.
A Ledger Nano S is also a good choice, and is actually easily available now unlike trezor (although both companies are kind of overwhelmed with customers, like everything else in the cryptocurrency space!)

I don't know if there's a specific name for it, but a quarter wavelength shows up as an important feature size in a bunch of RF (and acoustic) formulas. The exact physical reasons seem to vary by context.
Those numbers are ridiculous. I saved up about $100k in 3 years at a tech job and I haven't worked in the last two years on that, no problem (living in a not-inexpensive US city with a car, also).
Well, half of people are above-average though. Maybe the people who you talk to are just all above-average.

> All code I see is beautiful in its own way. It tells a story of the reasonable programmers put in unreasonable situations.

I like that. I think it's kind of deep.
It has to do with quarter wavelength features making good antennas.

I would say that you want to be less than 1/10 of the wavelength to minimize the effect though.

"Like, is it faster because it uses native dom selection functions?"

Yes, this library is fast because it's based around native dom functions.

"If that's not the case, what kind of groundbreaking work did you do here to achieve the impressive looking benchmarks on the Github page?"

I'm not claiming there's anything "groundbreaking" about this library. I made it to encourage vanillajs development, which I believe to be important.

I have never been directly employed at a large Silicon Valley tech company. Is it really that difficult to work on side projects on your nights/weekends while working at these places? To be sure, it would take longer to get your projects finished, but you would also be doing so with the benefit of a steady paycheck and health insurance. If you happen to hit the lottery with your finished project, great - quit your job. But it seems insane to me to just gamble on something with such absurdly long odds, especially if you have a wife.

Also, the sad reality is that only a very lucky few will create games that become popular enough to generate a living wage without somewhat aggressive monetization techniques, such as ads and in-game purchases. This guy seems to really dislike his corporate job, but apparently not enough to monetize his games well. If anyone else wants to follow in his footsteps, you should do some soul searching before you put in your notice and decide if you can live with a near-zero chance of success while sticking to your principles, or if you want to have a much higher chance of success but with the caveat that your users will be seeing ads and buying power bars from you. Life is full of crappy trade-offs.
