Thanks for explaining why they are doing it. I too was confused why a publication like Forbes used such bad style of writing, it's because they are optimising for Googlebot not us. I was thinking of looking up his name on Wikipedia even to see which business is this.
To both answers I would think no :) The Netherlands is very much a designed and architected country, there is no true wilderness here anymore. We don't seem to miss it, most people don't even talk about it as something they miss. We can go days and weeks out to the countryside, and call it a good holiday.

There are people who like to travel to the true wilderness, like Australia or Canada or backpacking in Scotland, but I don't see any connection to the density of our country.

And being anxious in true wilderness, well, it really is dangerous, right? :) So you should be anxious. But in this context, I can imagine we do like safety. When traveling through Australia, always stay on the road for example. Going into the desert off-road is a big no-no to us.
"is a summit of 600 metres or higher"

I didn't think this had been officially metricised (metricated?), I was wrong.

The other day I tweeted with one of the localisers behind Half Minute Hero / 勇者30 , a silly RPG-esque game. They did this with one of the stages: it was a sepia level, harkening back to the NES (and slightly before) era. In Japanese, the bad guy spoke in spaced katakana, like the old Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Pokemon games. The reference was immediately understandable and cute.

You can easily do the same in English by using ALL CAPS, AND SILLY PHRASING WITH LOTS OF PUNCTUATION!!! In my opinion (native English, but not alive in the NES era), that would work great. But they didn't: they instead replaced all his dialog with various lines from the classic "all your base" meme/translation. It's a departure from the original - still works well, still funny, though in a different way.

Different translators think differently. I love seeing how that impacts things. (Also shoutouts to Square Enix's localisation team, they are usually INCREDIBLE. I have even more love for Crisis Core after playing it in Japanese.)

I would suggest start with writing your insights about the language in the form of blog post which would be a good start point of attracting audience who are into this niche. This may lead to some folks reaching out to you for work.

If you're consider doing full-time consulting work in future then this strategy could lay a good ground work to build credibility in the niche.
It sounds like privacy advocates are taking the position that "Facebook and private companies are using this private information to target me".

Ask HN: Alexa for Knowledge Workers?
Hey HN,

I’m working on an interesting piece of software for my Master’s thesis, basically an extensible personal assistant for work. It can do useful things like search across all your internal files, generate notes and reminders from documents, and even attempt to learn your habits to surface useful suggestions and analytics.

Would something like this be useful as an open source project or even a commercial SaaS product? Does anything like this exist in industry?
Humans have thousands of years experience with wood and weather. Traditional wooden building withstands weather and rot quite well when you take care of the building.

Modern wood materials can be very technical and require less care. I would imagine that the exterior walls are heavily treated. Pressure-treated lumber can be very rot resistant. How resistant depends on how much you add chemicals. Wood can treated so that it's not rotting in direct contact with water and soil if needed. Modern preservatives are have soluble copper in them. Antimicrobial properties of copper are well known. If you pressure treat wood with these preservatives microbes don't rot them.

>>Imagine a simple image gallery. You just update the <img> tag, update the URL with the history API and everybody is happy. If you were to navigate via links, you get the same behavior.

Please, don't! Just give me a page with thumbnails that are direct links to the original pictures! That's million times easier, works blazingly fast and I wouldn't need to spend so much time clicking multiple times to save each pic, which is the best case! The worst is serving me blobs of PNG instead of original pics. That's pure hostility.
The government and military control all the economic activity in the country. The IRGC is particularly embedded in economic activity. There's no way to 'sanction separately'. So the question is whether to feed the regime (and hope it throws some bones to the people while it uses the bulk of it on foreign adventures) or not. Unsurprisingly, some countries prefer the option that creates less risk for them.
The legend seems to be in order for me, the top-to-bottom legend matches the clockwise progression of the slices (from the 12:00 position).

Good.
This has to hurt them in quite a major way before anything will be done about it. From my (possibly ignorant) perspective, the Australian government is a bunch of corrupt coal-industry loving dinosaurs who do not understand the first thing about tech and won't care about anything until it hurts their bottom line.
Ask HN: How Does Clearbit Reveal Product Gets Company Information from IP?
How is Clearbit Reveal (https://clearbit.com/reveal) able to get my company information from my IP address (static IP for the whole office)? I don't think the IP address is tied to website anywhere.
When I want to read an article, I don't need a "web application". I want a static page with the text and the pictures. That's it. Not a single line of JavaScript. And certainly absolutely no image lazy-loading nonsense. If my data is that limited, I'd disable images myself in my browser settings, thank you very much.

What I'm trying to say is that most of the web isn't really that interactive. It's mostly comprised of content that is static in its nature.
These articles all seem very good, I still have fond memories of reading Neal Stephenson's article on optical fibres around the world (although I'm thought it was David Brin who wrote it)

However these all seem to be articles in American magazines, I assume there's a number of very good magazine articles in foreign magazines; although the US is known to have more magazines that focus on long form articles.
This is awesome. If HN could provide a toggle/option that turned off comments, that'd be great.
Omis Released – Functional Component and Store and Scoped Style
True, although using the same logic, my optometrist stands to profit from me continuing to need scleral lenses .

It's just that his logic sounds rather compelling - Keratoconus patients already have thinner corneas then normal, and PRK will disrupt the structure even further, making them even thinner in places. If CXL done at the same time is effective to strengthen the cornea, great - but if it doesn't (and CXL often needs to be repeated) you are now in a much more precarious position.

Could we grow this thing artificially in a suitably stratified sea or lake to cause a meaningful drop in the atmospheric CO2 level?

If growth is only limited by the availability of phosphorus, well, we already know how to supply phosphorus on an industrial scale.
And it was estimated to last 800,000 years. Drawing down CO2, reducing it to other forms and burying it, with solar power is bound to take some time.

Going in the other, exothermic direction is going naturally much faster.

> Now, why would anyone in their right mind oppose sanctioning this country?

There is no point to bring selective events/actinos. That's just memory bias and it's called selective omission.
It's like if someone just brings the atomic bombing of Japan without context.

The irony is that, that is actually the regime we put in power in their country by our intervention. So whose fault is that?

Sanctioning is the best way to support right wings in those countries. It's the best propaganda tool we can give them.

What you want is to open dialogue, support democrat parties, make deal with them to let them show their people what benefits they get out of a deal. Which is exactly what P5+1 was trying to do before U.S. withdrawal by the new administration.

And please don't say that deal wasn't enough, because it is a suprise to see intelligent, educated person expecting to have a 100% reform in a country in one day and one step.
> Controlled, double blind, randomized trials are the only way we can know whether these anecdotes have anything to them.

The problem is they're too damn expensive. There is a huge number of people willing to put almost anything in their body in the hope it might help (animal remedies, herbs, homeopathic remedies, etc).

If we could harness these people into cheap double-blind trials, we could advance science much quicker and cheaper. I'm thinking something along the lines of "you tell us what pseudoscience remedy you want, and we'll return either it or a placebo with 50/50 chance, and then you self-report the results to us".

We were so close. Twice, JavaScript had a chance to be Scheme; both times marketing reasons prevailed (first, to capitalize on the marketing spending of Java; later, to compete against Microsoft's JScript).

If Scheme was the language of the web, then HTML and CSS being represented as s-expressions would be the most obvious next steps, and we'd be like 15 years ahead in terms of progress.

As someone who also suffered through very long-term antibiotic therapy:

Not to invalidate your story, but if your tests for Lyme were negative, it wasn't Lyme (borreliosis). B. burgdorferi is the only thing the medical community will always refer to as Lyme.

Azithromycin, doxycycline, and many antibiotics are almost harmless to coinfections of Lyme that are nonbacterial in nature, e.g. babesiosis, cytauxzoonosis and Powassan virus, to say nothing of the coinfections we don't even know about.

Two weeks without food is pretty extreme, and could have been fatal, but I'm happy it worked for you.

The answer to your question is in the text you quoted: intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror. Economic sanctions may be justified or unjustified, moral or immoral, but they are distinctly different from indiscriminate violence.

Muddying the definitions of words really doesn't help anyone and indeed makes the discussion harder to have, as communication is only possible if both/all participants can agree on their communicative medium - i.e., that they are both using words to mean the same things.

> Iran is on an unprecedented aggressive and violent push towards dominating the Middle East.

So are the US's allies in the region, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

> They are deployed in Syria

So are the US, after bringing chaos to it by funding and training rebels for billions of dollars.

> They are sponsoring and arming Shiite militias in Iraq

Profiting from the chaos and destruction brought by USA's invasion of Iraq.

> They are supporting and funding the Houthis in Yemen who are responsible for the civil war

And how are the US not responsible for the civil war in Syria then?

> They are supporting, funding and arming Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, both of which are recognized terrorist groups intent on murdering Jews.

I call them resistance armies against illegal Israeli occupation. The "murdering Jews" thing is pure propaganda (although it is true that decades of prepotence and occupation have fueled religious hatred- but this is the product of inflicted violence, not the prime driver of Hamas).

> They are responsible for historical attacks on US forces in Lebanon during the 80s which killed hundreds of Americans

The US has armed and funded Saddam in a war that killed at least half a million Iranians.

> Iran is developing a ballistic missile program which is intended to threaten Western Europe

Iran is certainly not going to start a war with western Europe- these programs are defensive, are meant to create a deterrent (a mutually assured destruction) in case of attacks- which are very likely, as we're seeing these days. As a sidenote, I find it interesting how the US get hysterical at the idea of countries acquiring defensive weapons, for example the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft system.

> Iran hangs gays from cranes

This is true and obviously heinous, but it seems to be much rarer than it is generally thought. And sanctions and frontal aggression are not the way to improve the situation, it only further radicalizes the country.

One of the things I liked about scanlation was being
able write hacked up English on the assumption that
the reader knew enough about Japanese culture/language

First of all, thank you to you and the other scanslators of the world. You made a lot of things possible for your readers!

Translating manga must be so tough. At least in anime, if you're watching English subtitles, you can hear the characters speaking in Japanese which helps to retain some of the original meaning. I don't speak Japanese, but I can recognize at least certain things like honorifics that convey a lot of meaning... that adds a lot of meaning to the subtitles I'm reading.

But with manga, there's no such luxury... you did a really challenging job.

What does functional language mean here?

Rust is not referentially transparent, does not model effects (any function can rm -Rf your drive), permits shared mutable state (RefCell, etc) includes statements not just expressions (break, return). Its most important safeguard is its affine type system, which is absent from Haskell.
Doesn't this increase monoculture by preventing those who think there's a problem with comments.. from commenting?

I think your blog post misses an important aspect of tagged template literals, which is that the first argument is an immutable object that is unique to the source location of the template. That doesn’t necessarily invalidate the rest of your argument, but it is a very powerful feature that is not really equivalent to anything else in JavaScript.
