This looks very interesting, how did I not know about it already? I was searching for what was available in the uml/diagram space (such as PlantUML, nomnoml, Mermaid, etc.) just last week. Obviously, VNote isn't just about diagrams, but the timing of this Show HN was interesting to me.

Any other suggestions for diagram generators that parse a text DSL and generate good looking charts & diagrams?
The founders of modern Freemasonry pulled in a lot of streams from the zeitgeist of the British Renaissance and Enlightenment, and that means that it's brimming with everything from alchemical terminology to astronomy and Egyptophilia. It also has a strong base in the Bible.

There is an argument that it was popularised in response to the removal of high ritual from the church during the reformation, and took the place of a lot of the mystery and esotericism which was lost along the way; and as such, it represented a threat to the Roman church, whose reaction spurred a lot of the conspiracy theories we see today.

Like the other poster who responded, I think it's likely to experience a resurgence, for similar reasons to the rise in popularity in the UK of choral evensong services in churches and cathedrals.

As far as discussing politics is concerned, Freemasons have long been enjoined from discussing politics in lodge, for a variety of reasons.
Doctors in that sense, and similarly lawyers, seem like the best candidates to be replaced by ML/AI.

Why aren't we on this yet? (or are we?) That would be one of the best applications of AI, with wide benefits for civilians the world over but also causing social upheaval and thus facing resistance from the humans it attempts to supplant.
I was just looking for that. It's annoying how difficult it is to find.

The only result I found was https://imgur.com/R24W168 (definitely NSFW).

I wish it were possible to represent the female body in the same way for comparison, since motherhood may give rise to some surprising differences.

Still, these pictures seem closer to "Let's imagine what might be true" rather than "this is rigorously scientific," given the inconsistencies between models. Nonetheless it seems generally true.
Maybe so you don't want to repeat what led to the vomiting in the first place.
Skimming the article for "what is this?" doesn't take more a minute or two. The first paragraph suffices, if you want to know a bit more, read up to the table of contents. And you have your tl;dr, without posting it in every thread.

I would be more understanding if the article were convoluted, or if it were a video. But this is text, easily understood (not "in the category of endofunctors" nonsense), and people still parade around their unwillingness to click on the submission. I find that offensive.

Triaging submissions into "interests me" and "does not interest" me is something you should be able to do without outside help, in the usual case.
In my opinion those do a terrible job of explaining why we have a 12 note system of music.
As someone who has been on the purchasing side of one of these transactions, that's not really the case.

What usually happens is, say the company has received $x million in funding. Everyone is plugging away working hard, but runway starts to run short and the product isn't getting the traction originally anticipated. At that point it looks obvious the company will go bankrupt relatively soon, so the investors push for a sale to try to recoup some of the their money. Often times there is value in the team and perhaps industry knowledge to the acquiring company, but the tech itself is often worthless, so the sales price is below the $x million capital raised and only holders of preferred shares get anything.

Note that founders rarely own preferred shares. They have common stock just like employees, so they are usually wiped out, too, in cases like this.
Your opinion on this resembles a blind person who has never painted deciding that painters could use 5 primary colors instead of 3. Or, maybe we should make do with 2 because it works out cleanly.

12 note octaves are not ‘utility’, it’s how almost every single piece of music you’ve ever heard was constructed. Breaking the octave into smaller units creates sounds that are off putting and unfamiliar. Check out ‘microtonal’ music. There is also Indian music that uses divisions like 20 per octave.

It seems your analysis and suggestions are based purely on mathematical concepts of this notation. However, it’s not useful to consider this this notation divorced from its implementation.
I think the right answer is that doctors should also be required to produce an original piece of research. This will immediately make it clear how limited book knowledge is and how vast the unexplored territory is.

Ask many genuine scientists who have been doing research in a field for 30+ years and they can tell you how small the book knowledge is compared to the unexplored territory.

I’m not sure why this author’s posts keep getting voted down. They’re not doing climate change denial, they are pointing out what the real consequences are likely to be.

Yes, lots of people will die especially in places like Bangladesh. Yes this is terrible, especially when it should have been prevented.

No, this isn’t a Hollywood movie where the species is about to disappear.

> public persona

i keep my public internet persona as public as it needs to be - but i do not want it to be connectable to my physical persona. I want people to take what i say for what it is, rather than who i am in real life.

But, i do want people to judge what i have said in the past as my public internet persona, because this will give me incentive to not be hypocritical, and also to ensure i project a single, unified point of view throughout my history.

Being _too_ anonymous means you don't consider what you say, nor what the effects might be. It may lead to detrimental results for large systems, and i won't be part of that.
Well his statement is definitely excessive, however I would agree that there is a shocking cultural problem with the acceptance of cheating in China.

I speak Mandarin and have lived in China, my partner is Chinese. I was shocked during her undergraduate and masters to see just how often cheating took place. Of her close ~8-10 friends, every single one paid for their work to be completed on multiple occasions. It was cheap and quick, and justified with things like “I have to go see a friend for a week, but I need to have the paper written by Thursday”. Costs for most pieces was in the region of $70-120.

The cultural attitude is that cheating is only bad unless you’re caught. Otherwise you’re cunning and able to succeed using any method; everyone does it so there’s nothing wrong.

I had considered that also. For some reason, though, I tend to see reproduction as less primitive to survival than digestion.

EDIT: Less primitive to survival of the animal itself, not of its species. In fact I'm not 100% sure that survival of the species is critically important. It just so happens that all of the animals that are still here are the species who do have a raging desire to procreate.
I'm from Spain and I have lived in Germany and now UK. What surprises me from these numbers is that the share of Spaniards abroad isn't higher.

My reason to leave was my career. In Spain most things work via connections and meritocracy hardly exists. I went from a salary below the median and a dead end job to a top paying job with unlimited growth potential.

I love Spain as a holiday destination, but I will never go back to live there. I agree that the problem is way deeper and more culturally involved than tax rates and bureaucracy.
It has been a thing for a while now and existed before the label was applied to it. Back at least to Greek times where in a major break from value norms preferring heterosexual intercourse for pleasure was once considered perverse. And despite how loud and much disproportionate effort put into it kinks are hardly the greatest evil or an actual issue in many cases. You say they should but what do they even gain from it except for power, control, and more blackmail potential?

It brings to mind a pet peeve of mine how morality seems to be used to mean how judgemental one is of those who are different or having a good time. I guess because looking down on others for being different is easier way to feel like a good person than say making sacrifices, standing up to injustice in the face of a society that agrees with it, helping others, advancing science or engineering, or well anything that is capable of actually making the world a better place.
Saw something that probably was an iPod the other day. For a few seconds I thought it was a new iPhone (can't remember seeing an iPod in years).

I want a phone in that size:

- Small.

- With touchscreen,

- With a browser

- With downloadable or even uploadable apps (basic ones like maps and messaging clients would be enough, don't need games or 3d, just don't want to rely on my operator or the manufacturer to create a new firmware before I can swap my messaging client.)

- A quick camera that is good enough for everyday pictures: whiteboards, messaging.

- Ideally somewhat water resitant

The posted article is probably incorrect to say the Motorola Razr was "introduced" July 2003. Either the author confused the phone's release date with when development work started: https://web.archive.org/web/20050412050444/http://www.msnbc....

Or it's a typo and they meant July 2004. The Motorola Razr was unveiled by Motorola CEO Edward Zander on 2004-07-26, the night before this Forbes article was published: https://web.archive.org/web/20040812193840/https://www.forbe...

The difference in Italy is that the managers were born into those connections, they didn't make them on their own. And the system incentivises this to an alarming extent.

In other countries, you can actually network and make a name for yourself, get promoted for hard work etc.... That doesn't really happen in Italy, the hard worker gets passed over for the lazy son who knows nothing about the business.
> but the people they are fighting against have a lot higher success rate at this point, and a LOT more experience.

I just don't think this is true outside a few areas. SpaceX has built a team that did a lot of these things and not that long ago.

Most people working on the Ariane, SLS were not around when these rockets and engine were built originally. Remember that SLS is just a lot of old parts stitched together a different way (with the explicit goal that this would be cheaper, ironically).

So in terms of building new rockets I think its absolutely clear that SpaceX has the most experience of anybody.

> SpaceX is changing the game, and reducing the cost of getting to space might be what causes the next great age in humanity, but at the same time I have to say that I'm relieved that the James Webb telescope is going up on Ariane 5.

I mean while that is a fair sentiment, we are comparing on of a rocket that has virtually not evolved for a very long time against a rocket that was created by a company that didn't even exist for most of the time Ariane 5 flew.

The more interesting question is if you would put more trust in the Ariane 6 and I think not, that rocket will have to show that it can build the same kind of reliability history.

> And if you worked at NASA and really want the absolute best, I can see why you'd want to avoid the "cheap" option, even if you agree that they might one day be better.

But that is one very, very specific mission, I see absolutely no issue with Falcon 9 launching most NASA payloads. They already have launched stuff like TESS for example. I mean the reality of the situation is that Falcon 9 is a human rated rocket, the Ariane 5 or Ariane 6 will both not be human rated and that would indicate Falcon 9 has some additional safety requirements.

While I don't disagree with your comment much (if the technical cofounder was diluted down to 1%, guessing pretty much all employees received well under $100k), it's weird that you linked to that "tech bubble" video from 2007. If anything, Peter Thiel was exactly right, and he understood that winner-take-all tech leaders would become insanely valuable. That video is arguing 2007 Facebook was a bubble at a $15 billion valuation. It's worth $470 billion today.

Last time I played around with comparing, Chrome and Firefox were comparable in terms of battery drain on my MBP. However they were both significantly worse than Safari, which barely ever turns on the discrete GPU while I'm browsing.
Very interesting, it confirms what I suspected. A negative spiral caused by a fundamentally broken culture that Italy is unable to break away from.

It's all about stuffing your pockets and those of your family. Because nobody can be trusted. You don't build for the future. You don't care about that now.

It seems that there is a fundamental lack of trust amongst Italians. And if there's no trust, you can't build on each other and focus on the long-term. Because you have to spend tons of time watching your back and taking care of yourself.

How will you fucking turn around such a culture?
It certainly had a bigger, well-paid crowd standing behind it an telling everyone that it was safe.

There is non-Nazi content that large groups of people passionately find deplorable, and I don't envy you being in the position of explaining that although Nazi content should be kicked off, terrorist recruiting, bomb building instructions (or 3d gun printing), human trafficking facilitators (i.e. any escort website), drug marketplaces, violent but legal pornography, websites that spread hate about LGBT people or woman, infrastructure used by Russian bots to attack our democracy, illegal gambling websites, or indeed, content that rips off creative people and flagrany steels their hard work is something you decide to distribute.
Appreciate the correction!

Always glad for an assist from a Heisenberg compensator.
You're hilariously off the mark. I'm not from Italy, and I live here by choice because my money comes from businesses I built elsewhere. I didn't grow up here and have no ties to Italy at all except distant ancestry, so I'm just reporting what I see on the ground.

If you weren't so quick to dismiss me as a "nipper" perhaps we could have an intelligent conversation. But given the lack of intelligence in your reply I'm not going to try.

> 6. You're coding for two audiences: The computer and the future programmer. Favor the latter, because the computer doesn't need help understanding your code.

You'll never meet "the future programmer" so I don't see how this is true. They will never know you existed, you'll never know they existed. The tree may or may not have fallen in the forest.

Heck most of the stuff you work on never gets seen again.

And I've never seen someone punished for not coding for "the future programmer".

If you're talking about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu7WJD8vpAQ

Then you're proving my point that the rocket doesn't exist outside of CGI. Musk himself said that they haven't even built out the prototype fairings yet. The engine has been fired for 1200 seconds as per Wikipedia but I can't find a source for it.

Also, this isn't technical documentation, it's the sort of thing that'd impress people ignorant about the complexities of spaceflight. You are wrong that I am ignorant of SpaceX. I watched the landing of the Falcon Heavy boosters and even saw the core crash into the ocean on the day of the test launch.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be a debbie downer. However, I am a skeptic and Musk continues to over promise and under deliver across all of his ventures. He continuously makes promises he won't be able to fulfill. Like this one:

"We will make one of the mini-sub/pod going all the way to Cave 5 no problemo. Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it"

I love spaceflight and have loved it all my life. I think the hype that SpaceX has generated is amazing. But that doesn't mean that we should suddenly throw aside our thinking hats. Hype generated on the basis of falsehoods is wrong.
Consistently singling out a certain group of people betrays bias and likely animus towards that group. For this author, that group seems to be women.

This will become easier to compare as income tax will soon be taken directly from the payroll like most other countries.

However it's important to note that many people don't actually pay that much income tax in France, or at least nowhere near the 20% to 40% number you're giving.

If you're married it depends on your spouse revenue, whether you have kids or not (especially between 0 an 3 yo because you get a tax credit on daycare, etc...)

I think the biggest difference between a Software Engineer in France and UK or Germany is not the taxes, but that the gross salary would usually be much lower in France.

He talked in general terms about the machine’s lugging stuff across rough terrain or into places unsafe for humans."
> The game industry and the iPhone app store have proven that when you price something closer to $1, it will generate exponentially more revenue than $40.

This may be true for mass-market, high-volume products like mobile games, (although even there the real money is in in-app purchases). It is not necessarily true for special-interest, low-volume products like this book. In order for it to be true, you need to assume that over 40 times as many people will buy the book at $1 as will buy it at $40. Frankly, the audience for this book is so narrow that I suspect that they would eventually get three times as many free downloads as they will get sales at $40.

On iOS 12, iPhone 6s Plus ( which has 3D Touch ), 3D Touch for moving between text doesn't work anymore and requires using it on Space Bar. ( Anyone knows why ? )

So three years after its introduction, its only major use is for moving between text. And if it were so good you would bet all the Android phones would have copied it. And so far none of them did. If by 2020 we still don't have an killer feature for this I question whether that extra $15-20 BOM cost as well as internal space for battery is worth it. Subtracting some display cost for supporting 3D Touch, we are paying roughly ~RSP $50 for this one feature.
