That's based on you calling for HEP to be defunded in favour of X-ray sources, pretty heavily implying that CERN somehow blocks the x-ray field.

I'm just pointing out they it seems to be doing pretty well for itself, three dozen international facilities with commercial customers doesn't sound like particularly lean times.

If mere over-subscription is to be given such weight, then I call for x-ray sources to be fully commercialized and the public money going to build medium energy gamma ray satellites! We ain't got even one of those flying at the moment so we basically don't know what happens in the sky at those energies. Hows that for reasonable?

In reality the HEP people mostly actively chose that field in competition with atomic and molecular physics et al, and if you kill HEP for generation most of the new students will keep choosing something else.
I’m sure there’s some POS systems that are maintained on MS DOS.
If you start trying to work around the limits of your abstraction, maybe you just chose the wrong one in the first place.

This is what seems to happen when working with Lambda for me.
Can these papers be downloaded?

The greatest concern with any web-based solution is reliability. A PDF might not be as easy to grasp as a web-based solution with live examples and graphs that make the content more approachable but it is still worth gold since I can back it up and have it available whenever I need it. Web-resources on the other hand can become unavailable at a moment's notice.
Don't be histrionic, the PET they did this with wasn't in large chunks, it was processed into a powder (with particle sizes between 200-500 micrometers). This enzyme would be less harmful to their house than rubbing it with acetone.

Sadly you're probably right. On the other hand a modern iPhone is more than fast enough to run macOs, so you never know. An Apple version of the Samsung Dex would be pretty sweet https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/dex/
It's fascinating to me how this battle against "hate speech" became global so quickly.

I disagree entirely with this article.

He doesn't define hate speech. "There is no place in this world for blatantly false allegations or denying historical evidence", what does it have to do with hate speech?

Also saying that freedom of speech "is about being able to speak out against your governments without fear of oppression." is a very limited and US centric viewpoint.

It's funny how people don't see the danger of supporting these soft-censorship feel-good policy while more and more authoritarian politicians get elected, surely these laws won't backfired?

And that quote of Voltaire is apocryphal (but he said something close).

I mean, from a certain point of view, why not? If you're thinking in terms of 1, they're wildly different. If you're thinking in terms of 1,000,000,000,000, they might as well both equal 0.
Good work - bonus points for having it work with JS disabled - a surprising number of blogs need JS to even render for some reason.

A while ago was facing a similar dilemma, so I went with this:

https://sapper.svelte.dev/

Plus a one-step deploy process made in Ansible by a friend of mine.

My take is that while Sapper isn't exactly production-ready, it's a otherwise competent static-site generator.

I write my posts in markdown and the system adds styling and modifications like target=_blank for links in a consistent manner.

Best thing about it is that I managed to use the experience from building my blog to help a friend who's an artist to set up his webcomic - also a static site.

The friend in question knows how to use FTP but that's about the extent of his technical skills, so the process involves him modifying a JSON file by adding an object with the comic title, flavour text and of course image URL to an array, running the generator and uploading the result.

The landscape of systems for this use case is pretty horrible, so this approach proved to be more pragmatic.
The statement still remains.

It's not because they are not your favorite people that they aren't your family all of the sudden.

Your mom by birth is and stays your mom. They can be replaced, but there won't be another "mom" in the blood bound sense.

There can be less than optional cases concerning social issues, it doesn't mean it is not true.

If you break with a friend, as everyone here has done. It is a lot easier as there is no recurring encounters ( edge-cases here apply ofc)

TLDR: A lot of people seem to misinterpret social issues, while I meant the blood bound of my comment. The family ( in that sense) stays, the relation can go bad, ofc. As is the same with friends, but the family relation isn't disappearing.

Example: People are more intrigued to see their birth father/mother, which is perfectly possible they have never seen and have been replaced.

There is no factual social relation, but it was and is their parent/family.

Example 2: You are still going to visit your family although you don't have a deep relation with them anymore. That's perfectly fine and actually affirms my statement.

If one of your closest relationships suddenly has children and his priorities could change. It's perfectly possible that your relation will lessen over a 2-year period ( eg. His wife is always joining and you don't have deep conversations anymore, so you meet him less, ...).

Ps. If you want to challenge the statement.

Who else are you visiting outside of your family because of "respect" :) . Do you do something similar for a friend/acquaintance? :)

Or if you would have money problems. Would you stay at your parents or your friends place as last resort. Who would you ask first/feel most comfortable with asking? :) ( Edge-cases are possible ofc)
> the poor pay a higher percentage of income in tax

They certainly don't pay a higher absolute dollar value of the total taxes received by the government though.
The official numbers you have on hand are estimated using a ratio of deaths-to-hospitalizations [1] These official numbers are arrived at by _multiplying_ the number of flu death counts reported by various coefficients produced through complicated algorithms.

The coronavirus numbers are _not_ the result of multiplying the a death count, they are the death count that is muliplied to get the flu numbers.

You can find the observed flu death count for the last several years at https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm, but you have to dig a little on the page for each year - the pages are for giving "Estimated Influenza Illnesses" and describing that years model, and in the citations you can find the count of observed.

I'll come back and reply if I can make time to put together a spreadsheet with the observed counts per year with links.

> However, hate speech doesn't have reliable sources.

It is my opinion that all your sources are unreliable, therefore you should not be allowed to speak.

> Hate speech isn't freedom of speech. Hate speech is hate.

Hate speech is hate. Hate speech is also part of freedom of speech. It's very easy for me otherwise to label your opinions as hate.

And as it always bears repeating: Freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequence, and platforms where freedom of speech is respected we can respond to hate and if the platform is any good, we can also simply block it and promote block lists aimed at specific speech criteria.

Home ownership is a core part of the American dream, and in pricey places like the Bay Area, you pretty much have to be a millionaire to own a house.

>Doing something sufficiently contrary to the interests of minority shareholders could certainly result in a lawsuit.

I suppose, but does it? Ever? Not to be antagonistic but your entire paragraph is a hypothetical which is substituting for anything from the real world, which leads me to believe that it's either not a risk at all, or such a small risk as to be invisible and still effectively not a risk. I mean, I'm sure we would have heard some cautionary tales by now!

I don't think this is true. I don't think racket-mode has a big community around it, and sadly doesn't come even close to slime [1] or cider [2], both very feature full dev envs for Emacs.

Magic racket is very bare bones and can't compare to integrations like Calva [3].

So I saw someone down voted me... just to be clear, I use Racket despite having to work against a poor tooling experience, when comparing to say, CL or Clojure.

I want Racket to succeed in industry, so is not like I'm complaining. I'm pointing out what I think is a weakness, maybe a blind spot by the team, since they seem to be very attached to Dr Racket!

No sense in catering to laggards, they know the risk they take.
Show HN: Diffy – Print colored diff more readable
Hey, we love discussion on HN, we honestly want to hear more from you - but we try to avoid the sort of meta-conversations where people end up reading their interlocutors as a united opposition with strawman positions. You should totally reply to them with more info about what you're trying to say, they're probably being honest about being confused :)
the sad part about "the only way to lose is not to play", is that playing in this case further entrenches the very system which requires you to effectively play in the first place.

There is very little, if even any way to recourse this without massive societal change. And getting such change in action is even harder.
It's also interesting how the scale has slid up so much that many people now believe the "American Dream" is to become a millionaire/billionaire. When originally it was merely the idea that if you do the right thing your children will be better off than you were. It wasn't until the gold rush in the 1850s that the American Dream, for some, became this idea of get rich quick scheming.

I can't speak to everyone, but my parents are children of the 50s and their idea of the "American Dream" was the nice house in a safe neighborhood in the burbs.
That's exactly what I'm using. You are correct that it works flawlessly. In some cases the experience is actually smoother than the native 1Password Mac app. There's a few small bits around working with items and managing multiple vaults that still has some rough edges compared to the native app.
I need to make the breaks more structured than that. I find meditating during the breaks is helpful to keep me on course, and also improves my attitude during the work.

> the richest 10% of America owns 86% of its stocks

I don't buy that, as a much larger percentage of stock ownership is pension plans, where ordinary people indirectly own stock.
That is an interesting argument. Everything is fluid. Things have to carefully balanced. It is hard to argue with. Add to that shot about free speech being an absolutist position and it is hard defend 'free speech' position.

Most people recognize that the reason we protect free despite the damage it may cause is because of the risk of deciding what harmful speech is, can have on society.

Your mileage may vary. I process tens of millions (if not hundreds of millions) of requests on Lambda each month. If you have meaningful volume, cold starts aren't a problem. And when with my volume of traffic, lambda use is a tiny fraction of my AWS bill ($30 max?). I'd be interested to know who is dissatisfied with the cost and paying more than $100/mo and what you're running (and how that would be expensive for you, considering the kind of operation you must be running).

But also, if you don't have highly variable traffic, why would you use Lambda in the first place? If you have negligible traffic (enough to sit on the free tier), why not just use a single cheap EC2 instance? Lambda trades start time for lack of a server—it's shared resource utilization taken to the extreme. You're lowering your cost by letting AWS use the bare minimum to keep your service available, and that means turning your code off when it's not running. If you want to keep your code available at a hundred millisecond's notice, just have a server running.

I assume most of the folks running into this just couldn't be bothered to pay the $7/mo for a hobby Heroku dyno or run a dirt cheap EC2 instance. Really interested to hear from folks that find Lambda impractical for serious use cases.
Hey Show HN!

I'd love some early feedback on Margin, a markup language for hierarchically structured thought.

Margin came out of my desire to build a lightweight to-do app – though I soon realized what I really wanted was a markup language to capture structured thought. One that was not only human-readable, but also easily machine parsable.

Most importantly, Margin doesn't impose strict hierarchical categories (eg. "Header 1", "Project", "Task"). Instead it allows the user/application to define those categories. The ultimate goal is to democratize your to-do lists, notes, writing, etc. making them portable and platform-independent.

Aside from feedback on the specs & philosophy of Margin, which would be very appreciated, I could use some serious help with the parser (https://margin.love/parser/). I'm only a casual coder, so this problem was a difficult one for me. The parser is both incomplete and buggy, but hopefully it gets across the basics of how Margin is supposed to work.

Thanks!
That is not related to the other article that you linked. The Type1 format is extremely old/deprecated and has been superseded by OpenType. And bitmap fonts don't even have a concept of hinting, they are just bitmaps.
True, I recently bought a cow through a local initiative. Best meat I ever ate, the taste of the steak is unmatched.

In the EU meat that lays a half year frozen in the refrigerator is stilled called fresh. So when meat is imported frozen from Argentina filled with water and packaged for the supermarket it is sold as fresh meat. Going back to first principles with meat you realize the differences when you taste it, no need for a fancy sauce or spice rack.

This approach works well particularly well if the masses are decapitate by identifying anyone with high intelligence and “inviting” them into the 10% via education.

I wonder. Investing is all about relative yield. If stocks return 0.5% and treasuries return -4%, stocks will sustain higher ratios than the historical mean.

People in nursing homes and the elderly are not the only ones who can die or suffer from lifelong consequences, so yes, we have to adapt to new normality for at least a year, in which everyone is part of the effort. If it means, that certain businesses or jobs won’t survive — so be it, others will get stronger out of it and new competitors will appear, but this is going to work. It has to. Germany and German people are in good position here, because government is spending generously and welfare system is good. Wir schaffen das.
I think you defined perfectly the defining problem of this generation in the US: nepotism. It is the root cause of so many structural problems that we see as unrelated.

ADHDer here. I've found that the core of having a productive day is:

1. Take care of my health: sleep, exercise, food, medication, socially-bonding conversation.

2. Connect to Why -- That is why a good Product Manager so valuable for programming and a clear picture of my audience curiosity so valuable for writing.

3. Recognize signs of success -- Thats what makes Test-Driven Development so valuable for programming and Question Driven Drafting so valuable for writing.

4. Get into rhythm which balances focus and exploratory de-focus -- The pomodoro technique is useful here. Also, talking with Test Engineers.

I like what Jocko Willink says; Accountability is a crutch: useful to notice and endure a problem, but something you should then you should then drive you to find the cause of the problem and incorporate a fix. That fix is part of building your personal discipline. I think the mistake a lot of people make with discipline is that they imagine it harshly -- like a drill sergeant whipping you into shape. But whips only make sense to enslave someone to do something they don't want to do. Healthy discipline feels like something effortful which nurtures you.

Your mind is a garden of your own
to terrace and irrigate,
to plant and to graft,
to water and weed and repair,
-- and yes, to artificially fertilize if needed --
so that whatever the weather,
out of your impulses
will grow the actions which bear fruit
according to what you truly value.

Why? A lot of the value of a stock is ability to resell at a high price later. If everyone (including U.S. Fed and gov) agrees to continue to push prices high for the forseeable future, then it seems like prices can lose connection to e.g. ownership in a company.
