> That's standard startup speak, though.

That's exactly the problem: building a programming language doesn't fit - I think - into the startup framework unless you're prepared to be in stealth-mode for a decade. Even the biggest tech companies have problems with making their languages mainstream - for every success-story like Go or Swift we have some kind of Dart or Dylan that simply didn't work out, despite companies investing massive resources into them.

> How else are you going to get investors and early adopters excited?

With a programming language? It's easy: have a good, battle-tested codebase which implements your killer features efficiently and correctly, supports non-primary features just as well, and has a huge collection of written (open source) software/examples in that language.

That's why I think PLs are not easy (or maybe even impossible) to make into a startup. LightTable had a much higher chance to work out, IMHO, because it was well-defined, was not without precedent and some other similar projects proved to be viable businesses (for a time).

EDIT: I forgot, the Red[1] lang team tries to do something similar, ie. write a language and be a profitable company at the same time; we'll see if they manage, but then again, they are looking to "just" displace REBOL instead of "revolutionalizing the way you think about programming" (again).

There are a few adaptions to colder conditions like Brown Fat and shivering which directly converts calories into heat and work fairly well.

Body Size and insulating fat at can also make a huge difference. People in warmer climates are simply less adapted to cold conditions and therefore at greater risk for a given temperature.

PS: Some people can actually walk around without clothing or becoming cold in 40f weather and be perfectly comfortable. It's sleeping that's the greatest risk as you reduce metabolic activity while having a large surface area in contact with the ground.
Ask me all your stupid questions
The pictures of animals as interpreted by some future archaeology are very interesting. As a child I went through a phase - I suspect many of us did - where I gobbled up every bit of information on dinosaurs I could get. I never thought about how difficult it is to reconstruct what an animal looked like from its bones.

It is a little sad, because there are so many open questions and some of those simply cannot be answered without a time machine. But at the same time, I am happy that our understanding of dinosaurs is still evolving.
I appreciate this response... As you say, it's not too bad, although the {1..10} and the semicolon would be more confusing to the uninitiated (based on the fact that they are confusing to many bash veterans as well...)

Now, how do you replicate

SAVE "myprogram"

and a later

LOAD "myprogram"
RUN

without having to teach vi, redirection, chmod, source, $PATH, and friends?

My point is that the old environments, while limited, scaled from zero to useful with much less requirements than today's environments, which scale much higher at the expense of a beginner's joy of experimentation.
In 1995, a 20-year-old U.S. Marine fell overboard from an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. He did what he'd been trained to do: he "kept his cool, inflated his uniform into a life preserver, and floated for two days and two nights until he was picked up by a Pakistani fishing boat." [0]

> And could also be spot instances, which are way cheaper.

This what we are currently using ECS for. Keep a set of on demand instances to handle a base load and scale out on spots. Any compute that is not time dependent is on spots 100%.

We have been using AWS for a long time, and wrote/still have a system to scale out instances with AMIs. This system is heavy weight though because multiple AMIs cannot share an instance.

Kubs is our next step.

That would cause the inverse problem: the models would overly rely on currently extant animals so the results would look too much like the animals we know.

We could probably train a model if we had an accurate training set of dinosaurs, but then it would be pointless.

The US has lofty goals and noble promises, but has always fallen far short.
I just document my guess here what's going on.

Tether probably started exactly as they describe. At some point someone got a smart idea that just storing that USD in bank accounts is stupid, let's invest that to something more profitable. BTC is quite obvious choiuce of investment here.

All is good until someone figured out that if BTC goes down, we are technically insolvent.

Luckily there is a way out, as long as there are people taking USDT at its face value. Keep on printing USDT and using that to purchase BTC so that the price stays high/goes up. There is a limited amount of BTC, so there is a backstop here, you have all the bitcoin of the world as your assets and amount x of USDT on your liabilities. At that point you can say that hey, if someone wants to convert their USDT to USD, it is easy, just buy some BTC with maybe 1 million USDT/BTC, and by the way, our just opened USD/BTC currency pair seems to trade at 999 000 USD/BTC, so you can convert your money that way.

And USDT holders did not even understand that they were fleeced badly, but just should have kept their BTC investments in the first place.

Now, admittably, there is a small catch in this plan. What if people lose trust on USDT? Well, god news is that at that point, USDT issuer has on their accounts a significant sum of BTC (and unless they are complete idiots), a significant sum of USD. So it is likely that they figure out a solution for themselves that may include linving rest of their lives on some remote paradise island. USDT and BTC investors, then again, may not be so lucky...

This change makes a ton of sense if RECAP wants to make these documents accessible. Aggregate the data and make it easy for wholesale users.

That will drive down profits and promote UI development and curation. Compare, e.g., ERISA and EDGAR data.

Sorry to state this so strongly but I feel it's
important to point out that this is misinformation of the
most egregious kind.

There is no examination of statistical power in this article whatsoever so there is no basis for your
claim that this study is properly powered.

The power is only relevant when you fail to detect an effect. This is a positive study, so the power is simply not relevant to criticizing that particular study.

The nature article you reference talks about literature in aggregate, and the problem created by small studies in general, but it does not allow you to say anything about a single positive study. In fact, the place where those very authors draw their primary conclusion, they state:

Inflated effect estimates make it difficult to determine an adequate sample size for replication
studies, increasing the probability of type II errors

Which means: when you try to replicate it, you might fail because you thought the real effect size was bigger than it is, based on your estimated effect size with small n.

That's well and good, but is a problem for the replicating authors, not for these.

An even more direct point related to the current article: it was preregistered, so you know the authors have not been farming well-designed but small curcurmin studies until they did one than that was positive by chance, and then published it. The act of pre-registration goes a very long way toward addressing the issues raised by Button et al.

I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I have a question. I have a situation where I need to implement in-place compression with perfect rollback in case of failure. The first approach I thought of was feeding LZMA input until I had X amount of output, then finalizing and starting over, but then I started wondering if I could simply periodically serialize the LZMA state machine data every 30 seconds or so.

I haven't investigated either approach, but this is one of my next projects I'm working on, so I'll be figuring it out either way. I was wondering, does Zstd provide any ability to serialize/restore and continue where it left off?

(Context: Disk compression. Due to long-term factors beyond my control I've had severe disk space issues for over a decade (with frequently only tens of MBs free). Complex story ending in "cannot work". I recently realized that some of my disks contained data I didn't immediately need, and began wondering about ways I might be able to compress this data out "of the way" so I could carefully partition the remaining space. This would need to be done in-place as I would have nowhere with enough space to hold the compressed data, at least not to begin with.)
Of course they do. They should not support the thought of monetising mindless joy though.
in semantic versioning terms, we need a "2.x" of the HTML API. We'd need to break backwards compatibility across the board and have sites opt in to use v2 using some kind of flag. The benefits would be massive but it would also require browsers to essentially have 2 different engines to support both legacy and v2 websites.

Also London. I recently hired a security engineer capable of doing code audits and other such things. It took about 6-8 months I think.

One reason for the talent shortage is that security work is to a large degree about keeping up with enormous amounts of information on attack types. If you stop drinking from the firehose for even a few months you're going to miss new types of attacks and new information. And there are precious few systems that help reduce the impact of vulnerabilities... there are some but it's still an area dominated by trivia-like knowledge (I don't mean it's trivial but rather, that there are a lot of "just facts" that you have to know and cannot easily learn or derive on your own).

Ultimately the industries approach to security is not sustainable. We need to systematically move away from insecure infrastructures. Unfortunately nobody wants to do that. First thing that'd have to go - the use of web apps for UI.

Review of Machine Learning Ideas for Malware Classification
It's getting ridiculously difficult to write something in HN without receiving some absurd answers like that.

The comment I responded to said that divers use drysuits so this guy should be wearing one. No matter how you put it, the article says that the guy used a wetsuit.

Please, stop for a moment and let this little fact sink: the guy wore a wetsuit and the article clearly states this much.

Yes, I could have said that NOT ALL Divers' suits are dry. But the fact is that MOST of them aren't and in the single specific case THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, the suit wasn't dry.

So why the hell do I need to clarify these obvious things? I have no idea.

Oh, and the fact that people use downvoting to "win" these petty fights.

I'm bemused that critics of copyright believe that IP Protection is Evil, but have no problem understanding that they're not going to be able to call their startup "Microsoft", "Google", or "Apple" - because that would be an obvious and ridiculous branding infringement.

But copyright of a single work isn't a brand? In a practical sense it is, because the whole point of IP is that it has market value - and brands, individual works, band and artist names, logos, and the rest, all generate income for creators.

(Or more often for middle men and managers - but that's a different problem, and one that's hardly going to be solved by eliminating IP.)

Ultra-thin ‘atomistor’ paves way for faster, smaller, smarter computer chips
Hey everyone!

My Co-founder and I have completed dozens of growth hacking projects like Rumblr (featured by 200+ media outlets in 4 days: https://goo.gl/Xbp7R2) and Hacbook Elite (six figures in sales through press and forum marketing: https://goo.gl/LFNVc5).

In our experience, launching is the most annoying, tedious part of building something new. Spending months pouring your heart and soul into a completely new product––only to have it seen by 100 people––is exhausting.

Aidem is a simple tool to get your product in front of thousands of people with a single click.We hand-craft custom pitches for every product, then manually submit them to hundreds of journalists, communities (like Indie Hackers), and directories (like the Startup Button).

Aidem is the tool we’ve always dreamt of to take care of shitty launch days where we’d imagine spending our time––instead of filling out hundreds of forms and sending hopeless press outreach emails––talking to users, fixing bugs, and getting upvotes.

“What if we could just, like, pay someone to do this for us?”

That’s what Aidem’s for. It’s a completely manual solution: no bots and no spam. Daniel and I write all of the pitches ourselves, then manually send them to our own network of writers and journalists. We don’t copy/paste/spam “open databases of reporter emails.” That doesn’t work.

Our process takes 5 days, submission takes 30 seconds, and it starts at just $49!

We’ll be here all day answering questions! We’re going to continue refining this system, so we'd appreciate any and all feedback.

P.S. Bonus points if you can figure out where our name comes from.
We switched off Heroku to AWS Aurora once Aurora came out with a production-ready Postgres offering.

We haven’t looked back. On Heroku we used to run up against their CPU burstability limits and would get throttled. Simple Queries for an indexed field would take 100ms+. Web requests would queue up and customers would have a terrible experience.

The worst part is that Heroku support would often take days or weeks (!) to respond. And we were paying them $500+ per month. When they did, they gave us no insight into when we hit the burstability limits or when we’d be back to normal - the app simply got slow and it was never clear why.

Switching to aurora was fairly painless. And we pay less for a box that’s got roughly 4x the resources, decent management tools, and no burstability limits. It’s been fantastic.

We sent detailed and kind feedback to Heroku before and after switching and got a fairly bland response. Perhaps they couldn’t let us know that these kinds of new Postgres plans were coming, but it came off like Heroku didn’t really care much about the experience we had on their platform.
No, I think they mean they meant exactly what they wrote. Impalas are too fast for lions to hunt (normally). Single cheetahs are too small to take down a zebra (normally).

So, a guy with tons of experience goes for open water dive without a diving marker or diving alert device, decide to leave his dive-buddy and return to the beach by himself. Some other articles says he was a navy veteran. That would probably explain his overconfidence, as those are things that recreational and tec divers are explicitly trained not to do.

Lots of diving accidents reports starts with someone being overconfident (ignoring the recommended safety limits or his personal limits), ignoring safety-checks and/or losing his diving buddy. I guess this is one of those. I like reading those kinds of reports because it shows how things can go wrong, even for experienced divers. And how to be prepared for those problems. It also shows that most diving accidents happens usually because of human error instead of equipment failure.

The good thing: He's still alive. He returned to the diving spot a few years later (to take a picture for his "treading water" book) and he became a "Water Safety Ambassador" in NZ. And his history might serve as an example during diving safety classes.
I agree - taking this even further, why would you consume these pictures in the first place, if you can just deepfake them.

TL;DR: Travel today is more about scoring social points than being changed by the place you go. It's also a waste of fossil fuels and generally immoral. Solution, get more involved in a real way with the place you actually live.

I think I like the overall point, but I don't think it's 100% true. There are ways to travel that do produce a meaningful experience, it's just not comfortable. But the point that many people use excuses like service projects or leisure as a reason to fly 4000 miles strikes a chord that I've never really been able to put my finger on.
Right, that's what I mean -- I use the web ui the first time to get the feel for the service (in this case EC2), then try to make it permanent with CloudFormation, prompting a deep dive into the reams of documentation and CloudFormation API docs. My problem was the amount of surprises that I came into contact with trying to write a consistently working CloudFormation for ECS. I wrote a CloudFormation config that would succeed, then I'd shut it down, then it'd fail -- that happening absolutely decimated any trust I had for the effectiveness of the orchestration of an ECS.

Out of all the pieces that were being spun up/down, the ECS Service was the shakiest/hardest to model in my own mind -- every time I got an error from it it would make me scratch my head, even looking at the created instance in the web UI. Maybe this is all just attributable to lack of operator knowledge, but I don't think so because at this point I know _exactly_ the EC2 objects I want to make, but after my experice with trying to set up ECS I'd rather not try again. The documentation is extensive though, so I am very thankful to AWS for that.

Also, of course, all of this takes a pretty long time -- though to be fair, AWS is instantiating AMIs in this time, much harder than just spinning up a container like a kubernetes cluster would have to do.
