Does Nim have some sort of interop that lets it call into Python packages, so it can take advantage of that huge ecosystem?

I don’t get how anybody is claiming that Nim is at all comparable to Python. A nice syntax is like.... 1/10th the battle when you’re writing big projects.
For me it's about too many eye candies there, I really just want simple text with pictures only when it is absolutely necessary.

that probably explains why I like HN, simple and brief, it might not be the most impressive UI when you started to use it, but it works well for the long term.
Stencil One 1.0.0
Study seems flawed significantly in that it used athletes for its test subjects, in the military, specifically specifically forces, a soldier can burn 10k calories a day, for periods of up to 2 to 3 weeks at a time.

The article mentions "long term sustainable" but says title says "ultimate limit", which to me, are two very different things.
In my country, NZ, we refer to beer as pints, and order them as such, but a pint isn't a legal unit of measurement, so it's accepted that your pint will vary. The good establishments have a chart on the wall explaining how many millilitres map to their "pint". And a pint of high alcohol beer will often be less than a pint of average alcohol beer. 473mL vs 568mL typically.

It's not illegal to serve someone a "pint" if they ask for one, but it is illegal to offer a "pint" for sale.
This question sounds like you are having a "lifestyle creep" problem. Which is super legit... I fight with the same problem and am interested with HN advice on the subject.

Here are the things I've done (please give me more!):

* I'm very clear with the definition of "want" versus "need", and when making any purchases especially major ones I'm clear with which of the two the purchase is.

* Once a month I run through my finances to keep myself grounded. If I see that I spent $60 on lattes, I know that I'm out of control in that area and tighten up.

* I separate my money into various accounts when it comes in. As mentioned Vanguard is a useful tool for auto deductions from the checking account.

* Lastly, I try to remind myself of the times when I didn't have much, and give myself the old "winter is coming" pep-talk. All of us/ Any of us that are working for a wage (W2 land) could be promoted to customer at the bat of a managers eye... and that is exactly the moment when you will wish you had saved. I.E. the "Ant and the grasshopper" moment.
Yeah that dude killed people and damaged the earth on a whole bunch of different scales.
It's definitely an interesting an idea that has been considered before. Hopefully the Wikipedia page on cyclic models can be a starting point of interest to you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_model
Not really, because you again assuming that there's an independent time-line, where a ball of universe expands and collapses.

Our current understanding of the Universe is that _time itself_ "expands and collapses". You cannot talk about time "before", because there was no time "before" the big bang, just as there's no space "outside" the ball, to talk about its boundaries.
> Nim generates native dependency-free executables, not dependent on a virtual machine, which are small and allow easy redistribution.

That's... awesome. I've written a handful of little tools and scripts in Python for different (often non-technical) clients to use, but I've never found an easy way to package them up as a "click this icon to run the program" type of thing. If that's a solved problem with Nim I'm pretty much already sold.
The world income comparison thing at the end is not meaningful in the slightest.

Why not? I would say that it's very important to understand that even middle class Americans are quite well off when compared to the vast majority of the rest of the world.
Why say Paul Solotshi instead of Paul Le Roux, a name everyone is far more familiar with?

None of the evidence presented was compelling. It was circumstantial at best. Save yourself the five minutes it takes to read this article.
The word is 'speculation' not 'belief' that that's pretty much what all science is. The evidence usually comes later.

Even if that number is right, I would think that Uber/Ola cars have higher after-production emissions due to them being driven all day and being driven in city settings (as opposed to on a highway where cars are more efficient.)
This is a dumb question but have you tried, like, putting your chosen Note App somewhere prominent in your phone? Like, on the first page of the home screen, or in the dock if you’d on iOS?

But whatever works, if you prefer to lose an idea because it’s “faster” to wait until you’re at a keyboard, it’s your life.

Or just keep a physical notebook of some kind with you. That’s faster than any digital method for just capturing an idea.

I don’t know about rich, but:

I use NotePlan on my phone for WYSIWYM notes and calendar entries, with GTD support. It used the same (Dropbox) directory as my Kiwi app, which is a personal wiki with WYSIWYM.

On my desktop I have Sublime text with a (free) markdown plug-in for WYSIWYM note creation, and I keep the open “project” my NotePlan/Kiwi folder.

The result is a sprawling set of notes, documents, calendar data, etc inside a single wiki, editable from anywhere, and no one owns my data because at the end of the day it’s really just a bunch of text documents sitting in a Dropbox folder on my PC.

It has replaced all of my calendar, to-do, and notekeeping tools. Frankly, if NotePlan devs wanted to, they could probably subsume “personal wiki” too - the core functionality is already there, I just find the kiwi UI a little more suited to it.
Does Medium support exporting publication? I can export my posts but does not appear the entire publication can be exported or has API support. If anyone have looked into it, appreciate the tips.
The idea of developing podcasts "for Spotify" is concerning to me---I'm not sure if it means that podcasts developed for Spotify won't be available outside the platform, but that certainly seems possible.

Podcasting is the one area of media that somehow managed to keep the dream of the decentralized internet alive, using plain RSS feeds and MP3 downloads, with no centralized gatekeepers or DRM. I'm starting to worry that podcasts 5-10 years from now will look a lot more like video or music streaming, split up into dozens of paid walled gardens, each with their own exclusive content.
That may very well be true, but I don't have any good data. To hit 1% in income, you need to make about 750K a year. To hit 1% in net worth, you have to clear a bit more than 10M. So the question would be how many people hit 750K for a year, or a few years of their life, without accumulating 10M in net worth? Depending on lifestyle and location, I bet there are plenty of people who make a load of money but also spend a load of money.
>My measure of rich is "Can I live my current lifestyle without regular income from a job?"

I would say that's wealthy. Rich, to me, is if you have the means to buy and do what you want for a reasonable set of desires. In other words, you can buy a nice house in a nice area, drive a new luxuryish (i.e. BMW level) car, go on vacations, and buy stuff like a big TV without worrying. Somewhere between 150k and 300k salary depending on the area.
Even in the tech industry it is uncommon to make top 1% income, even if it is household income.
It does do that. The only issue you might have is library support, but I have found it to be pretty good. For example Nim has had async HTTP client for a while now, while even Rust is just now getting it.

isn't that just an elaborate way to say 'give up'?

Accepting that we don't understand something is a first and very necessary step to even realising there's something to understand. Believing that we have the answer (eg "God made the universe!") is exactly what shuts down scientific inquiry and makes people 'give up'. I'm saying literally the opposite of that - we have to realise there's something to out there to learn in order to try and learn it.
I am quite happy with rust these days. But it still lacks great ‘no allocation’ libraries.

I’ve taken and still take quite a few psychoactive drugs and have clearly noticed a lack of quality control and potency in generic drugs.

I wouldn’t say they are poison, but in my experience they often don’t work as well.

One of the best examples is amphetamines. Name brand Adderall and Dexedrine are significantly more potent than the generic alternatives I’ve tried. Maybe this has to do with the binders, or maybe there is less amphetamines in it, I don’t know.

As an anecdote, my dad works as a pharma regulator for the FDA and never takes generic medication. He’s told me that generics are inadequately regulated to ensure equivalency to the original.

Nice analysis.

The point that many people make: "* Upto 50% of pollution a car will cause is done during production of the car ie before even a kilometre has been driven. Replacing lots of good working cars from the street is not environment friendly."

It is not just overall pollution, but where and how it is done that it is important. There is a huge difference between controlled pollution, from a factory away from large cities, and thousands of cars spewing emissions right into the core of urban centers. The second would cause more direct health issues and potentially deaths and overall unpleasantness.

If all countries had the same level of regulations and quality control, maybe. But look to the issue like tilapia farming, and there are very valid reasons to be weary of tilapia that is sourced from China.[0][1][2] The farmers feed those fish with manure rather than fish feed in order to cut costs:

>At Chen Qiang’s tilapia farm in Yangjiang city in China’s Guangdong province, which borders Hong Kong, Chen feeds fish partly with feces from hundreds of pigs and geese. That practice is dangerous for American consumers, says Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety.

>“The manure the Chinese use to feed fish is frequently contaminated with microbes like salmonella,” says Doyle, who has studied foodborne diseases in China.

So no, I don't instinctively think it's "racist" to be concerned that drugs and other materials imported from previously third-world countries might not be exactly what they say they are. We're not importing them because of their quality, we're importing them because they're cheaper. It's a race to the bottom, and anyone trying to reach the bottom is likely to take shortcuts.

I guess it's probably a business play in that their packages keep getting stolen so if they did this they could stop their packages from getting stolen. But it's a stupid thing to do, where Apple is going for privacy as a competitive advantage and Google keeps getting flack for it -- why not side with privacy as a business advantage rather than surveillance to solve your rather small business problem.

I have bought into the Alexa ecosystem. It would be nice if that Eco-system respected privacy. I would be more committed to it if that were the case, rather than looking to switch to Apple the first chance I get.
I don't know that I had personalized it quite that deeply, but it's certainly an end of an era for us and for our public cloud customers. The technology is alive and well, and being used more broadly than ever for on-premises infrastructure. In that regard, the costs of the public cloud are less in the technology, and more in the surround of support, billing, etc. Certainly, the (significant) work that we had to do for CPU vulnerability mitigation needed to be done for our on-prem customers as well...
> when your school system is a dumpster fire

let's assume this represents a person's view. then surely, most of society is fucked, and the logical solution is to move to a different country that doesn't have these issues? or do you also see it as a zero-sum game? as in, if society is dumber and my kids are smarter, that's a win? that doesn't ring true in my experience, given that humans are social creatures. or are you simply banking on that they'll be enough people out there and enough separation via social circles to weed out the suckers who had to run this dumpster fire gauntlet?

I misinterpreted the direct idea of 'Big Bang' at a very young age and thought that the nature of time changed over time, ergo, 'the beginning' could never be achieved (even if you could travel backwards in time), i.e. it's 'infinitely far back' similar to how time changes for traveller/observer as one approaches the speed of light.

Only in any given time frame could one mark 'the start', but that would be a misinterpretation.

So time did have a 'start' but it was 'infinity ago'.

I realized at some point this has nothing really to do with 'Big Bang', but later I've come back to the idea as at least novel!

It's fun to see smart people contemplating alternative things.

It is sexual assault to expose someone to unwanted sexual advances. It's the same thing as flashing. Why should someone be exposed to a picture of another's genitals when it's unwanted? It's forcing someone else to engage in a sexual way without consent, even if the only reaction is to block the sender, or look away.

The collaborative encryption is exactly what is solved in CryptPad.fr and at the core of the storage model. This is actually key because it's not the only problem you will get once you try to add encryption. You'll realize everything needs to be rebuild with no database on the server side, otherwise you will get only partial encryption. Encryption needs to be built in first and then the rest should be added.

Concerning user experience, do not confuse design and user experience. Yes some design is needed to improve cryptPad, but the user experience starts with making it super easy to start to share something. In the case of bloom you first needed to register which is not needed on cryptpad to start working collaboratively.

Note that cryptPad storage is a bit like S3 but with e2e encryption and collaborative documents built in.. so you could build your UI on top of it, but e2e encryption means everything needs to be done from the client side, not from the server side.

There is also a roadmap. I will contact you. We can meet. We are next to Beaubourg.
The benefits of Nim over Python are not at the ecosystem level yet, it is at the language level. Nim is not exactly related to Python as TypeScript is to JS.

Nim provides a lot of features like compile-time execution, macros, c/c++/js/obj-c interop, upcoming newruntime, dependency free executable, better performance and lower memory overhead in general (obviously people can write bad code), etc.

So if any of these features matter to you, you should give it a try.
