Ask HN: What lightweight css framework to use?
I’m not a designer and for some smaller projects using bootstrap or any of the major css frameworks is a bit overkill. What lightweight css framework do you use?

Sigils have been standard in shells for decades. And sigils allow string interpolation to work; again, just like in normal unix shells. The python people decided that sigils are a bad idea, so instead of being able to say "I have $n apples" (like you could in shells we've all been using forever!) I now need to say "I have {} apples".format(n). I know which one I prefer!
Ask HN: Is there an SQL GUI RAD/framework with many-to-many fields?

The linguistic target Larry Wall aims at has little to do with uttering the line of code out loud..

The attempt to mirror human language is in the flexibility of the constructs. This is the much maligned There Is More Than One Way To Do It (TMTOWTDI) principle.

The language is designed to allow the programmer to express themselves in they way that makes the point best for their brains.

Now, this is almost a classical debate in programming at this point but it was really in high gear during the late 90s as Python's One Way approach quickly proved more useful for larger codebases, in contrast to the personalized anarchy of styles often found in a large Perl project.

Perl 6 changes the landscape of "personalizable programming language" considerably, making it less complex in some ways and more complex in others.

Whether or not TMTOWTDI is a boon or a bane to you is your choice. I find that having a language that is designed for personal expression is precisely the thing I want when I am reaching for scripting glue.
Yes. But TFA is all about what's happening there. So (and I apologize, if this seems rude) how is this different from talk about angels dancing on pins? Is it just that, somehow, this became a discussion of mathematics?

I had the good fortune to be able to work with xBase languages (predominantly CA-Clipper) when I began programming. I made software for retail outlets: pos, inventory, accounts, all the jazz. The most memorable thing to me was the Phone Directory we shipped with it. It did one thing right: `set filter to cSearch $ upper( rtrim( ltrim( name + phone ) ) )`. This is a case-insensitive regex match over both name and phone. Customers used it all the time, and they held that db close to their hearts. It was 50 lines of code written in an afternoon and just worked ever after.

Creating a phone directory with that affordance is a lot of work today. However user interfaces are different today. 80s DOS text mode only had a keyboard input, a 16-color palette, 80 columns over 25 rows, and just text, text, text. Modern web UI is event-driven, has millions of colors, works across screen sizes, and is networked by default.

Though with this essential complexity, there is so much accidental complexity. It shouldn't be this hard to build software. The essence of a double-entry bookkeeping software 30 years ago is the same as one we build today. A new framework is probably not the answer. New languages (or old giants) and formal systems might be. Ballerina, Unison, Dark, Ur/Web, Elm, Reason and so on.
Myst was the first game that made me feel I was somewhere else.
I disagree. I think the tension between getting your house in order enough to open your books to the public market and critically important employees waiting around for their stock-based compensation to trigger puts you between a rock and a hard place.

No, this ARM1 was a product of Acorn Computers IIRC.

This was prior to the Apple agreement to create ARM Holdings.

Basically, ARM was a spinoff from Apple & Acorn in 1990... ARM1 very much predates this.

I think Linode is totally understandable in what they are doing.

The author and his client however have both been deeply unprofessional. But ultimately the author has the responsibility to do better next time.

Here is where the author could do better.

> Don't mix your personal resources and clients resources. I highly suggest provisioning the client their own server and Linode account and showing them how to pay. If you would like to simplify life for the client then use your own account, pay through your card only after the client has paid you.

> Qualify your customers. A customer who doesn't pay is not a customer. A customer who is as difficult as the one you are dealing with probably shouldn't be a customer. I get that you're really desperate, going for 200$ opportunities but every now and then there is a customer who you should just say no to.

> Avoid the gig/freelancing space like the plague, it's rarely a place where you will be adequately rewarded for your time. Get a full time job, remote or on premise and perhaps in the future you can do high end consulting if you really like that freedom.

> Please calm down, I get the frustration that got you to write that post but it has affected your online image far worse than it has Linode's. Most people will read that post and come away with the idea, that you are unprofessional, desperate and highly unstable.

Is SOUL intentionally made to sound like SAOL? I haven't watched the video and will do. But the dominant problem with audio programming languages has been expressivity. Things like code up single sample feedback loops (they normally are at frame level due to compute costs and other factors) -- I.e. the a-rate / k-rate divide. This is changing with wasm as a target though and we have stuff like Gibber popping up.
What specifically are you looking for? That synthetic foods exist? Google provides many results on the subject. You probably have already eaten some synthetic ingredients.

For a real world example sugar was first synthesized in 1953 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose#Chemical_synthesis

Carbohydrate synthesis is also a well studied field. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_synthesis

Many vitamin additives today are artifical. And of course artificial flavoring has vast commercial adoption. In the case of McDonald's french fries this was used to dramatically reduce the amount of saturated fat while maintaining the beef flavor - they are no longer deep fried in beef talow.

We can't yet recreate the texture of a pepper, but we can certainly create a synthetic smoothie with the necessities of life. Organic chemistry is a rich field of study.
So this is what HN has come to? Why is this downvoted? I'm interested as well and would like to read more depth in this comment. Where's the source? The two other replies to this comment are not related whatsoever.
It's not the language itself that makes it low latency. It's the fact that it is effectively an audio shader language. Think GLSL but for audio. In the same way that GLSL can lead to lower latency graphics, this can lead to lower latency audio by sending the actual code to be executed at a place that it closer to the output.

For example it can be executed in the kernel driver, in a DSP, or even on an external device (e.g. a wifi speaker).

You've captured my thoughts on this to the T. I feel people are too emotionally involved to have rational, civilized, productive discussion... but for very very understandable reasons. After all, the whole topic of identity politics revolves around, well, one's identity, and self worth and livelihood.

It's hard to separate one's ego from something as visceral as that.

It's easy to posit that those unaffected could form "more objective" observations when emotions are not in play.

I say this while aware of the potential biases inherent in both of these statements. So what can be done to better approach this? It's hard.
Would be interesting if this kind of map was used to find previously known wolves by looking for appropriately sized areas not covered by any other wolf.
I recently conducted a report and presentation about reducetarianism (though in my own language).

There are 3 main reasons why people go vegetarian, vegan, or reducetarian (the former 2 are a subset of reducetarianism): environment, animal welfare, and health.

Re: "Can We Grow More Food on Less Land?". My conclusion to based on the research I performed is:

Yeah, we can, and not only that we can also reduce the Co2 footprint by avoiding eating cattle. Alternatives which are size efficient are chicken and insects (such as grasshoppers and mealworms). However, chicken have a CNS, and if you grow more chicken, more chicken suffer, so this is a pro environment yet anti animal welfare argument.

What is going to be good for the environment is using solar energy, using electric cars (to go to the grocery store). Because the transport from (very efficient, huge) transport ships has less impact on environment than you going to/from grocery store by (conventional) car.

What is going to be good for animal welfare is growing & consuming less animals with a CNS. Alternatives such as insects or lab meat.
There is also the point of familiarity. Those old cli apps were hard to learn but crazy fast. I recall much grumbling about replacing good, but hard to use tools with web pages back in the 90s.
If someone spends a decade getting good at a system, they really hate it when the ui/ux changes. I think we’re a little quick to throw out crufty but well understood systems.
He does say a lot about how C++ as hard and you can write these "audio shaders" in the nice easy SOUL language instead, but that beep generation function looks exactly like C++ to me! It even uses operator<< to output samples...

Apart from that, this seems like a fantastic idea. My only concern would be about memory - what if you're writing a sample-based synthesizer for example? DSPs don't have enough memory for that sort of thing.
I think the 400cm^3 figure was for the non-pellet version while the pellet version can use 10mm nozzles and extrudes a ridiculous amount more. I wish there was more published information about both of their extruders, they look quite interesting.

I'm guessing that absurd power requirement is for the 85C heated enclosure variant, otherwise I'm no idea where the 60amps are going.

I remember reading about a slicer with an option to use the hotend just as a heat source that traced the previous layer to smooth/blend it.
Using a laser may be a good method of improving the surface finish as well.
I tried Obduction recently, but it has so much walking just to be in the right place to solve part of a puzzle. I've given up on it for that reason. The Myst series did this better, I think: you never really discovered that actually you were an entire world's length away from where you needed to be to solve the obstacle in front of you. (Possibly I'm just bad at the game.)

It’s amazing how little we understand about things right in front of our faces like this. These are essentially like wolf run kingdoms not that different than humans.

My other thought is how surprised their wolf scientist will be when they discover humans too have orginzed into territories like them. :)

Tried this once with my old childhood cat. She hated it, and would wiggle out of the collar. What she would do is follow us around on walks in our suburban neighborhood leash free. She would usually stay a house or two behind us and run from hedge to hedge.

We were worried that she would follow me all the way to school, when I started walking there, but we tested this, and she would refuse to cross a big street on the way.
Could also be used to accelerate the print of a single item by having different nozzles work at different parts of the design at once. Would need lots of updates to the slicer and solving some tricky optimization problems.
Maybe that's why they fill electric cars to the brim with fancy technology - more breaking points. I'd like an electric car with a battery and that's it - no autonomous driving, no integrated navigation, no intelligent interior climate control - just a battery, a wheel, accelerator pedal and breaks ... :)

Yes there are actually loads of regional Uber-like companies that only operate in particular regions. Most recently I went to Thailand where they use Grab. It is advertised in Google Maps.
> cosmological constant is derivable from the Standard Model.

Well.. not really directly "derivable."

To be more specific, the "problem" is: when using the the "Standard Model of particle physics" (which is confirmed time and again for anything we do with the particles, and which, of course, we anyway know that is still inconsistent with the General Relativity model) to calculate the "renormalized value of the zero-point vacuum energy density" as the contribution to the cosmological constant, the number is calculated that, to our present understanding of the factors involved, can't match our cosmological measurements. Note that that "renormalization" process is a method used otherwise to "extract" the finite answer from the divergent expression (i.e. one that would involve infinities). Applying such method in this derivations gets the "wrong" number.

It's much less surprising when it is stated precisely. Attempting specific derivations in which the "infinities" are "avoided" by using a specific approach which for some other cases works, we discover that in these derivations the mentioned approach "doesn't work", that is, that something is missing in an attempt to compare two theories for which we anyway know that they aren't consistent when they have to be applied together.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1205.3365

Luckily, these inconsistencies aren't something that prevents us to use both General Relativity and the Standard Model independently to great success. Using them together is needed only to model very extreme conditions like writing the equations for some point inside of the black hole or something like that. And that doesn't disprove black holes in any way: we measured even their collisions(!) using the predictions of the models.

And we can claim already:

Was it actually the guy's card on there? The author says he opened the account before meeting the guy, but doesn't say he changed the card on the account. If so, seriously, what's linode to do? Siding with someone other than the person who pays for the account is opening up to a whole lot of fraud.

> When China becomes uber powerful, will the state then stop controlling everyone's thoughts?

> Will they have basic rights then?

> Or will corruption go away?

> Will people still be looking to flee China when it's #1?

If you assume that the future will be basically like the past (untrue, but better than most assumptions), then the answers are:

1. It doesn't now, it can't now, and it won't be able to then. But it definitely won't stop trying.

2. Yes, in much the same way they have basic rights now. Which is to say, they will enjoy what their culture thinks of as basic rights, but probably not what you think of as basic rights.

3. No.

4. Yes, just as people have sought to flee every country in the past or present.

It took me a long time to wrap my head around literature like this. I read nothing but simple sci-fi and fantasy as a teenager, and it wasn't until I got to university that I tried reading "literature". The first one was The Brothers Karamazov, which I picked up off my dad's shelf. I struggled for 150+ pages, until something clicked - I think I'd tuned into the way Dostoyevsky (or, more accurately, the translator) wrote or something like that. Not everyone has to enjoy this stuff - it's not worth beating yourself up if you don't like it - but I'd encourage you to stick with it for quite a while because, at least in my case, the rewards are more than worth it once you've tuned in. Having said that, I tried to read The Brothers Karamazov again recently and found it terribly histrionic, so there are definitely some books that click more at different times in life.

> "His plans include rebuilding Uber’s culture and growing market share as well as possibly conducting an initial public offering in 18 to 36 months, according to people who attended the meeting. It is common for venture capital-backed companies to signal an IPO at a vague time in the future."

That Uber has chosen to go towards an earlier IPO rather than later from the upper end of 36 months to the lower end of 18 months is a fact. You can definitely argue that choosing to IPO earlier isn't necessarily a negative thing, but you can't argue away the fact that Uber has chosen an earlier timeline over a later one. Dara has never given a hard date for an IPO by the way, so I'm not sure what you mean by your statement of "he's always said it would be in 2019".

> The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibility - of being unable to undo what one has done - is the faculty of forgiving. The remedy for unpredictability, for the chaotic uncertainty of the future, is contained in the faculty to make and keep promises. Both faculties depend upon plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no man can forgive himself and no one can be bound by a promise made only to himself.
