i like this idea so much. i wish the author the best of luck, i will be following development. some basic features are missing: autocompletion, in-editor help and documentation, and my own nitpicking favorite: font size!! -- i know, i know, there is that zoom in thing that seems to work sometimes...

i grew up with environments like QBasic and TurboPascal. they had everything you needed to learn and master specific languages? all in one package.

JavaScript is so lucky to have such easy integration with the electron stack. and with all the bad rap electron apps have been getting, this is just 160MB unzipped. the closest we have for Python is the mu editor. that editor is half a Gb unzipped!!

also, could it be that adding more features and library would make the size go up? who knows? anyways, looks good.
I’m such a sucker for beautiful typefaces. I’m going to try this one out. I recently switched from Fira Code to Source Code Pro, but I don’t like it quite as much. This looks pretty

> Isn't this backwards? If you're just accepting the lecturer's word as dogma, I would argue you're not really gaining an education at all. The process of being convinced and having doubts about the material resolved improves critical thinking and improves understanding of the underlying material as well.

Maybe I think differently from you because I come from Germany. But I don't think this is backwards. I openly admit that I cannot stand "critical thinking" gospel.

Before you can start thinking critically, you have to understand the material that is there (that you want to criticize). Explaining the material so that you hopefully understand it is the role of the lecturer/teaching assistent. Why are you enrolled in the degree course if you are critical of it instead of wanting to learn the material? So one can assume that the students want to learn the material.
I love GTD - I carry an index card with my latest lists on and a couple of spares for notes. I love having it physical, easy and disposable - I like throwing them out each week and starting fresh.
Here's my setup, it's pretty similar to the other person's:

Followup: stuff that I'm blocked on (e.g. maybe I'm waiting on someone, maybe I have to let something run for some time, etc)

Doing: stuff I'm actively working on

To Do: stuff I plan to do in the near term

Inbox: everything starts here

Backlog: stuff I want to eventually do

Anything I finish I archive.

> Monospace is already such an awful layout for readability...

So why code in a monospaced font then? There's no rule that says you have to write code in a monospaced font. I've used proportional fonts for many years, and almost every programmer's editor supports them.

I'm currently using a slightly modified version of Trebuchet MS (I replaced the tilde with a better one). Another example is Input Sans, one of the three fonts today's thread is about.

If you like proportional fonts, go for it!
Shouldn’t wages be regulated instead of housing?

High density cities suffer and it’s only upside is more govt revenue in terms of property taxes.

1. Affordable housing doesn’t generate as much property taxes but will put more pressure on essential services, infrastructure and schools etc.

2. so the govt has to tax someone even more and that would increase pressure on cost of living and create even more inequality.

3. High density plus increase in affordable housing stock is disastrous.

4. Newsom will gain my respect if he attempts to alleviate the health care expenses of California and make it single payer system. Healthcare is the single reason why everything is messed up. It will free people to become skilled, find mobility in between jobs, be able to negotiate, re-educate themselves...to become more current esp moving from non tech obsolete sectors to stem based/tech oriented sectors.

5.Everyone will have to know coding or at least understand how new tech works. Can’t do that if you are shackled to a job because of insurance. You can share a room if finances suck but even seemingly stable folks can become bankrupt with unexpected medical expenses.
The one time I lived through a 10% reduction, the results were not catastrophic, but still pretty bad. Morale took a huge hit. What's worse, is that it spooks everyone. Resumes get updated, networks get activated, and you find a lot of people leaving after the layoff for new jobs.
Downvote if you want, but I find that what my grandparents taught me is in a funny way still appropriate here :)
So we all end up paying many multiples for incomplete, expensive private services to replace the National Weather Service and the like?

Eastern Oregon has gone the route at one point for fire fighting, and recently went and closed libraries, leaving it to local towns to rebuild said service. Private offerings for services that are a public good tend to either be expensive and poor quality (unreliable, limited service) for these things that were formerly community funded, leaving me with little faith that privitization would do anything besides add cost.

This right here, aside from being wrong, is why a majority of the worlds population are completely disengaged with environmentalists values. You’re promoting a completely impractical solution as if it were the only one available, when it’s absolutely not, and your demonizing the very people you’re (presumably) hoping to reach. Telling people that they’re to blame, and that if they don’t change everything about their life then they’re going to die is a message you’re never going to be able to sell to people. I couldn’t even imagine a better method of getting people to disengage than that, you’re doing a far better job than any oil company PR department could even dream of. In addition to that you’re also demanding that the rug be pulled from beneath the entire global economy? None of that is required, and if you can’t see how dangerous this message is, then there’s nothing I could say that would help you.
> If given the option for a $2M toilet where "the locals are engaged", and takes 4 years to build, or a $300k toilet which is built in 6 months, which do you think most people would opt for?

You and I both know this is not the cause of a 86% of expenditures.

> The real problem is government is too damn big that it becomes impossible to separate out such concerns from every other aspect of government, and each time government expands, it adds more inefficiencies.

Do you mean too damn big by % of gdp? If so we could double the size of social security and not change the costs of infrastructure.

Do you mean too damn big by employment? If so during census years infrastructure costs don't change much.

If you mean by number of regulations? I think reducing regulations could definitely decrease the cost of infrastructure, but this isn't what most people mean when they talk about the size of government. Texas is a very conservative state with little welfare, not very many services provided by the government, but we have an enormous amount of regulations. An incredible amount of red tape and laws.
I didn’t understand why until I saw one of Jordan Peterson’s videos where he described the hyper industrious people. He said there’s a small portion of the population who just work because we enjoy it.

If you put me in the forest with an axe, I’d just cut down trees non stop.

I think it’s because we humans are beasts of burden - without a task (or more specifically without - mastery, autonomy and purpose) we whither and die, and it’s natural in a healthy population that there’s variance in the desire for work (burden) and I just seem to love it.

It’s nof for everyone, and I don’t look down or resent those who do not work - because I’m doing this by choice. I truly enjoy working to the limits of my capability and pushing myself, not for fame, recognition or ego, but ultimately the desire to help others.

This seems to be the best explanation so far...

>This” isn’t inherently more efficient than programming in a functional style.

It is, because avoiding it requires extra and unnecessary abstractions. "this" is a fundamental part of the language regardless of the paradigm. If you want to use a functional style in javascript, you have to accept that it isn't a pure functional language, and do so using "this," not avoiding it.

Moderation: 1. the quality of being moderate; restraint; avoidance of extremes or excesses; temperance. [1]

A 10kg portion of broccoli might be better for you than the usual recommended portion. I would not say that's a moderate amount of broccoli though.

Edit:
Also there isn't really a healthy amount of doughnuts you can eat, so by your definition, a moderate amount would be zero. Which isn't really what the 'everything in moderation' rule means.

By that point I had been dead lifting for years. Every 5# I added over 500# was a struggle. Some days progress was measured by lifting the bar 1” off the ground.

How did I start? Many years ago in my early 20s I thought I had it all. Great fiancé, good job, and a good life. I could see my whole future and it was good. Through a bunch of random circumstances I started playing DAoC (old school mmo). I had always played games for fun, so no big deal.

Fast forward 2 years and every waking moment I had that I wasn’t working I was playing DAoC. I was still doing my job, but I was certainly not excelling. Eventually my fiancé left me. Even though I quit DAoC Soon after, it was too late to get her back. It reminds me of a scene in Mushashi where he asks the priest why he tied him to a tree. The response was he tied tied those ropes himself - exactly as I had done.

Suddenly I had all this time, was getting pudgy, was depressed, and couldn’t sleep. My apartment had a gym so I started working out doing things like you just did today. Suddenly I was tired enough to sleep again, my confidence came back, and I had a new focus.

Later I found powerlifting and it was like finding zen. Take the craziness of the day, complexity of work, and relationships and throw all that out. While of course there is proper technique, the dead lift is simple. See that weight? Pick it up. Repeat :)

From that one self discipline decision to stop DAoC and then start working out so many other things presented themselves. I went back and finished grad school, excelled at better and better jobs, and today 15+ years later I’m married to a great woman.

I certainly have not perfectly followed self discipline this whole time, but even just the little I had made great changes for me. If I can be the catalyst for even just a single person to do the same, I’m happy :)
I was really enjoying this article, which is intelligently written (even though it's obvious the author has made up their mind and is trying to convince me, I happen to agree with them). That is until this line:

In addition, the concept only pertains to information acquired through unconstitutional means, such as not having a warrant to search. Getting incorrect information is not unconstitutional and investigators rely on much more than a single piece of information when building a case.

I'm a font-aholic and reading Hacker News, I get the impression I'm not the only one.

My first adventure down the font hole started with Bit Stream Vera Sans Mono followed by Source Code Pro. Stuck with Source Code Pro for many years and even today, not sure any other aliased font looks and works as well as Source Code Pro at almost every size, from the smallest onward. It just looks clean to me.

After reading on here how great it was, switched to Fira Code for a while. It was nice, but never blew me away. The ligatures were a nice change I guess.

Then I tried out Iosevka and was happy. Kept using it for a while.

Then it was Input Mono, again happy and used it for a while.

I was later introduced to Operator Mono and thought I had found code font bliss (pay).

Ended up going back to SF Mono (I'm on macOS) and feel content. Finally. Again. I don't think I'm switching anymore. I might try for a day or a few minutes something else, but I can't see myself sticking with it like SF Mono. It will have to blow my mind.

As an aside, I love no antialias Monaco at about 10 pt on hi dpi/retina displays (MacBook Pro 2017 and LG 5k with non-decimal scale, e.g. 2x). Something about it seems perfect to me. It usually seems to require special configuration and sometimes is difficult or not supported at all in many tools and editors, so I have stuck with SF Mono, typically 11 pt or 13 pt depending on the display and time of day and how much sleep I got.
Only if your changes are atomic.
very likely, but the guy that "owns" the mac is up for more than interfering. so its a win for him, not that its even remotly cool but this could take some time to resolve and get worse in the meantime.
Eighteenth-century schoolboy's doodles uncovered as library is restored
My direct experience is that the third parties doing work-for-hire gigs tend to get the worst of it, because they're disposable. When the publisher owns the studio there's some fiefdom management that takes place that allows the bosses to protect their employees in a sort of empire-building strategy. When it's a contract, oftentimes the studio management is suckered into taking a deal they can't deliver on. The publisher subsequently squeezes them dry, then buys up the remains of the dead husk to ship something for cheap and perhaps scoop up the best employees. A successful third-party more or less has to play hardball from the get-go and find a way to block this strategy.

The publishers have a weaker hand to play today, since it's easy to go to market with minimal marketing and distribution spend, but that has the side effect of making it more common to see tiny studios that run a sweatshop churning out bad products.
With regard to sunbathing in Sweden, it sounds like the study was originally designed to track many variables for possible influence on blood clots. Tanning behavior ended up having a high correlation with lower all-cause mortality. I haven't looked into whether they controlled for variables like socioeconomic situations that allow for more suntanning, though that seems likely before publishing such a conclusion. What seems less likely to have been controlled when just looking for contributors to blood clots, would have been whether the subjects' skin tanned easily.

Many light-skinned people do not easily tan at all, and even complain that their skin seems to go straight from white to red. In Sweden, there are many people who do tan easily in spite of having very light skin. It seems like that could very easily have been a confounding factor. The genes that make you bun easily or tan easily seem like they would have a significant effect on ones decision on whether to sunbathe or not. Likewise, I can imagine that those genes could also affect all-death mortality rates.

A 2-in-1 Chromebook (folding form factor) with a stylus and Crostini support for Linux apps may serve you well.

I've been fairly happy with my Samsung Chromebook Pro on BART in the SF Bay Area -- in tablet mode I watch lectures using VLC, read PDFs using Xodo, and take handwritten notes (often while splitting a screen with one of the former apps) using Squid. And I can always flip it into laptop mode and run Linux via Crouton for Vim, Octave, REPLs, and QOwnNotes. (I use my Android phone to create a WiFi hotspot when needed for email etc.) Everything syncs up over Dropbox using Dropsync. The aforementioned Android apps all run quite well for me.

(I probably wouldn't recommend the Samsung CBP right now - it's a bit old, and Crostini support has been rumored for a while now, but never materialized. Especially if you want LTE. But Chromebooks are at this point pretty good as Linux and Android machines, and the styluses work well for note taking.)
Fun fact 2: you can change the MAC addresses on most systems.

Ask HN: Which kubernetes cloud would you use (with decent customer service?)
I'm currently operating a cloud hosted jupyter notebook service on GCE.

If my account ever got suspended and none of my users could access their data I would be toast.

So I'm thinking of moving off of GCE onto something else. Thinking about digital ocean, as I feel like a smaller player is less likely to screw me.

I've also thought about backing up data onto another cloud, but the egress fees would get pretty expensive.
