Any one write an AST aware regex engine?

Examples: replace s/(?ast:comment)foo/bar to replace foo with bar but only in comments. Or s/(\w+): (?ast:openparent)(.?)(?ast:closeparen)\s+(?ast:openbracked)(.?)(?ast:closebracket)/function $1($2)\n{\n$3\n}\n/ to convert from

foo: (args) {
codeblock
}

to

function foo(args) {
codeblock
}

etc..?
> Perhaps the massive jump in active leisure will suddenly manifest but so far no such thing has come to be.

Have you tried to buy exercise equipment lately? What about hiking backpacks? Have you been to Lowe's? Have you heard that there are protests happening across the country?

It seems to me like there has been a massive jump in active leisure.
Nice to see someone hosting his own video instead of using YouTube.
You probably don't see the ones that aren't used. They're stuck in storage in people's houses.
For sure. I was just trying to be sneaky and point out that we pay taxes for our "entitlements" so even though it's an accepted term, I think it's an inaccurate one and implies things about the programs people call "entitlement" programs which aren't true.
Wow I'm amazed by the option of adding a chip from a tap to pay card.

This would be a lot better than an NFC chip on a standard smartwatch as the F91W could last for years with that chip inside it.

The F91W is cheap, and really reliable. I've always fantasized about modding one, and this exactly would be my dream.
Sadly, I don't have enough time on my hands.

If it were for sale, I'd buy it immediately !
Show HN: oso – Open-Source Policy Engine for Authorization
With speculation moved to a (JIT) compiler, this becomes way harder to trigger.

You can no longer deterministically trigger a speculative fetch and detect whether it was slow or served from cache. Whether the speculative fetch ever occurs is deteremined by the JIT, and once the JIT realized it should not even occur, it will never occur again. Quite likely you won't be able to collect enough bits even if speculative execution is supported by the hardware. It it's not, you will just not have anything to time, AFAICT.
Thanks! Glad you found it useful.
The bike will wear down more than cheaper bikes, unfortunately.

Chainrings, derailleurs, cassettes on mid-range bikes are made of lighter metals and to tighter tolerances than those on cheaper bikes. You'll replace them 3x as often and pay 3x as much for the parts, so maintenance is an order of magnitude more expensive per kilometre.

There are some exceptions: higher-quality bottom brackets seem to last longer, and on a cheap bike it may not be worth replacing them at all. Maybe wheel bearings too. And some basic services like chain lube are going to cost the same (whether you do it yourself or take it to a bike shop). But overall, the cost of maintenance goes up faster than the initial price of the bike.
I'm the cofounder/CTO of oso. Today we're opening oso up in Developer Preview and we're keen to hear your feedback.

In our earliest discussions building oso, we knew we wanted to build something to make it easier to add authorization to an application, but kept struggling with how to cleanly separate policies from an application while still retaining access to all the underlying classes, methods and data. The approach we landed on solves this problem by embedding oso as a library in the application and giving it direct access to all those things.

This is one of the problems we thought about when building oso, there are many more. oso is also written in Rust, which we think is a good choice for security software, and makes it possible to embed in different languages/environments. I'll stick around to answer any questions!
Any phrasing that includes some context: where, when, and by whom.
How significant a ban is very much depends on this. I have no interest in reading an article about a book banned in Saudi Arabia, for example. Nazi Germany is not too far in the “countries in which a book being banned is utterly unsurprising” list.
This is absurd. Intel’s fab capacity is several times TSMC’s so even if intel had chosen to do this there is no way TSMC would be able to satisfy Intel’s needs. In addition most of TSMC’s capacity has already been committed.

That’s the business side; ignore the technical errors like 3 nm.

There’s already a comment saying this is market manipulation; I just wanted to point out the logical fallacy to avoid “is no” — “is so”.
Your wish is almost granted: https://n-o-d-e.shop

The link is at the bottom of the site, but it's pretty subtle, and I think these watches have the same mods.

Edit: These have NFC, but no SD card, so maybe they will show up with enhanced storage later, but anyone wanting the NFC features with the watch it looks like they are available.

Edit Edit: The NFC chip in the ones for sale is not tap-to-pay :( still neat though!
I really can't believe this is happening. The pandemic is making people so desperate.

Most of the people for whom $700/month for health insurance is unattainable are not spending $700/month on car payments. There's bound to be some overlap, sure, but let's keep the focus on the fact that expecting everyone to pay $700/month in order to not go bankrupt from health expenses is insane.
Thanks for the info on that. :).

It does get concerning. Is the matrix construction considered complete when we can't tell the map from the territory, even if we haven't checked its consistency for every vertice?
Show HN: Peoplelogic is mission control for teams
My name is Matt and I am the Founder & CEO of Peoplelogic.ai!

As a lifetime entrepreneur and as a technologist—I am deeply passionate about helping companies grow and scale successfully. I had the fortunate opportunity to successfully exit my last venture, DZone, which gave me interesting insight around team building and rapid growth.

While we did a lot of things right, we certainly took the hard road on plenty of other things. Unfortunately, a lot of those things that we made harder revolved around people, teams, and managers. We lacked the data and insights to truly understand where the risks to our business existed, with enough warning to change course.

I set out last August to develop a tool that could help managers better understand the people on their teams—their personalities, their management preferences, what drives their passion and can help managers get out ahead of problems before it's too late.

We certainly didn’t plan on launching in the midst of a global pandemic—but what we’ve realized with our earliest partners and customers is that the tool may be a critical component of SMB organization’s tech stack as they move beyond communication tools and are forced to really think about how they manage their teams and move beyond leading by their gut and their experience.

Our vision is to build an affordable, easy-to-use, and comprehensive tool to help business leaders and managers:

— Proactively monitor the health of their teams, employees, and customers
— Receive automated recommendations on mitigating risks and course correcting
— Dig into real-time insights to understand how work is getting done
— Identify and optimize bottlenecks in team communication and workflows
— Gain knowledge around potential business outcomes and scenarios using predictive analytics
— Ensure growth stays on track

I welcome any and all feedback and am so happy to be able to share Peoplelogic.ai with you today!

10nm was the first node to use the problematic features, but Intel certainly hoped to use the same technologies at smaller nodes as well. Cobalt and COAG become more relevant, not less, with finer features.

As for whether or not they will eventually work, that's the many-billion dollar question. In mid-2018 the boots-on-the-ground were not hopeful (the "10nm will never work" leaks) but clearly someone at Intel thought there was hope because they didn't just abandon the features. I think we just saw that "someone" get fired, though, so I suspect the attempts to save these features have failed.
> Operating systems are in a sad state, as virtual address spaces already offer exactly that in hardware at full speed

Ever since reading about Microsoft Singularity all that time ago, I reached the opposite conclusion: software is in such a sad state that it must rely on hardware to provide isolation. From this perspective, WasmBoxC and many projects like it are IMO a huge step in a desirable direction.

The main lesson from Singularity for me (aside from requirements for memory safety) was that cross-component safety can be achieved by formalizing the protocols those components use to communicate. Sing# had a dedicated type to capture the state machine for every cross-component transaction, with strongly typed inputs and outputs. This problem is not unique to software isolation -- it is the basis for a huge variety of security problems everywhere across the ecosystem, not least network services

Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we knew our application was fully safe when exposed to a network for the same reason we know it is fully safe to run in the same address space as another untrusted application? That is that path Singularity took us along
they are solar, stainless steel, with no moving parts. which means they are practically indestructible without any need for maintenance. that's why they are sold at that price point
I'm ambivalent about faulting language expressing something the writer is passionate about. Perhaps Tim feels much more strongly about climate change than I do, and his language reflects the intensity of his opinions. Should I write off the whole piece because of polemical language on a tangential subject? I would not write "carbon-vomiting" about "oil extractors" but perhaps I would write something just as incendiary about rare game hunting. This requirement for temperate language or forfeit a receptive audience - I don't know. "There is a conflagration in the auditorium you are advised to quickly take your leave."

Had a child due around Christmas in our family, and I think both you and parent are both correct.

I hope Rite Aid and the companies providing these solutions get the shit sued out of them for racial discrimination.

This is covered in the article briefly, but there's amble evidence that these systems do not work on black faces. The CEOs of these companies keep claiming the opposite and yet, misidentifications are still happening. No one is going to fix the problem until the cost of a misidentication is severe.

I know that I don't want to have the cops come tear down my front door, ransack my house, and point rifles at my family all because some shitty, overpriced AI doesn't work and nobody involved in enforcement faces any consequences for being wrong.

I'd prefer criminal liability for the people involved. But at least stiff civil penalties may sway the bean counters to oppose such systems.
I totally understand that CPython is too heavy to build for WebAssembly and the limitations of Transcrypt are very reasonable for what the Transcrypt project is aiming to do. It's neat that it works at all as a backdoor way to run some Python-looking code on CF and it's a cool OSS project.

But I also don't think that a light transpiler is ever going to get anywhere close to a "real" Python developer experience. Python has an enormous standard library and Transcrypt implements almost none of it. The standard library is core to what makes Python Python. If I can't use any of the built-in functions that I know and love, I don't think it's really fair to claim I'm using Python except in a very superficial way.

I think the disappointment is that I was excited to have an alternative to Google Cloud Functions and AWS Lambda (which both more or less support Python "for real"). This feels more like 20% support in my opinion.

There are also cultural factors about how you present your work. GC Rota wrote about the mathematics culture in the 50's that European and US researchers worked similar amounts, but the Europeans took great care to present an image of working less than they actually did, and the US researchers often presented an image of working more than they did.

My experiences of working both in the US and in Europe (Germany and Switzerland) was that the number of hours worked in the US was higher, but the intensity of work was lower: There was more office chitchat, more goofing around, more "watercooler/coffee talk", and so forth. There is also an extreme culture of "presenteeism" in the US that starts in highschool (where being physically present is much more important than being attentive in any form).
I would take a look at Gatsby. NextJS has had some major updates recently so It would be good to give it another look as well. I personally switched from Next to Gatsby and the main reason is Gatsby's GraphQL API which is fantastic.

I think most programming languages and associated tools will start supporting ARM64 as a first class citizen. The current lack of support isn't due to apathy, just constraints around ARM64 not being popular for desktop development. For example, it's difficult to support a platform that isn't well supported by your CI/CD provider.

Linus Torvalds previously said that ARM on the server would never be a thing since developers didn't run ARM on their personal machines. Since this assumption is no longer true, the ecosystem of tools will now support ARM better and we'll see ARM on the server become a major thing in a few year's time.
I would think so too, (that batteries may not have enough energy).

On the other hand, it looks like some are about to be used in New Jersey: https://www.government-fleet.com/10122076/jersey-city-to-rec...

I guess when it comes down to it a fuel tank only holds so much energy, and if we think we can replace a fuel tank with batteries on another kind of truck with an acceptable loss in range, then maybe we can do the same on a garbage truck. They were burning diesel to run the compactor before, so it may not be much difference.

I've been taking some classes online through quarantine, and have really enjoyed taking notes with Obsidian.

As I review old notes, I often put parts of class notes into dedicated notes of their own, and the end result is a list of links to the topics covered, example problems worked out, and a bit of extra descriptive color relevant to that specific lecture.
The article is a summary of research findings over the course of the pandemic. What makes you think the research is happening in a silo? it's not. Medical researchers, just like, uh, that guy you saw on YouTube, are quite capable of reading the research on nih.gov and capable of discussing and sharing findings with each other.

The article even says "By June, clinicians were swapping journal papers, news stories, and tweets describing more than three dozen ways that COVID-19, the disease the coronavirus causes, appears to manifest itself."
not my experience. The experience at Google Fllghts is 100x better than any other flight search service. It's like the difference between Google Maps when it shipped and Mapquest. Mapquest was instantly a joke with its server side rendered pages. Google Flights is fast. Every other site is slow.
It says: "Be aware, this particular NFC chip is NOT compatible with tap-to-pay."
There's also the whole world of fixed point inference which isn't discussed here, but quite important. All of the hardware supports fast integer operations, and with fewer platform specific caveats, so you can get better guarantee of consistent behavior in deployments.
Oh, thank you so much ! I'll guess I'll be adding another F91W to my collection :)
Nah, if you mean the black swan ignored by the Python community, thus forcing everyone that cares to go to Julia instead.

I can think of a few reasons not to, as someone who tried to use Linux first when switching away from macOS. The most notable of which is using Linux with a high-density 4k+ display is nightmarish at best; everything is either too big or too small, and at least in Ubuntu, fractional scaling is too broken to use on a daily basis – also requiring a ton of manual config and tweaking to even get usable. Windows, by contrast, works out of the box really well with HiDPI displays, and generally has a really well-refined experience these days, particularly between WSL2 and the Windows Terminal experience. It's the best of both worlds, without the hassle of dual-boot or manual config, IMO
"You see, Einstein had a problem with it because it seems to conflict with the speed of light limit in Special Relativity. We know today that this is not the case, quantum mechanics does not conflict with Special Relativity because no useful information can be sent between entangled particles." -- So how does quantum communication work? I thought it leveraged entanglement to convey information such that it became untamperable.
America's Two Coronavirus Realities
It’s not as though the Nazis started immediately murdering all Jews (or anyone they deemed Jewish) in 1933.

For example, the Nuremberg Laws (which, among other things, banned marriages and extramarital intercourse between Jews and Germans) only went into effect in 1935.

Considering the Nazis only were in positions of power for twelve years and still managed to murder six million Jews and many million other people they did not like, they did move quickly and there certainly were sudden shifts and changes in what people (in particular Jews) were allowed to do and subjected to. However, the overall trajectory was still one of turning up the intensity, not going into it with full intensity, among other things certainly also for propaganda reasons.

Given that the Social Democratic Party was the only part voting against the Enabling Act in 1933 (Communist MPs were at that point already all imprisoned, banned from parliament or fleeing) he certainly had, however, two things the Nazis could attack him for, whichever was more convenient.

So makes sense to me that they pushed him out and makes sense to me that he fled as quickly as possible.

The Nazis murdered plenty of Social Democrats. The Nazis obviously murdered plenty of Jews. If someone was Jewish and a Social Democrat the distinction of why the Nazis were persecuting them becomes sort of an academic one. They might name either or both reasons, whichever sounds more convenient.
NeoCortix announces Folding Home support for Arm-based processors
Afaik the breaking capability of cargo trains is lower because they use simpler brakes and only use the airline for breaking, which limits the speed at which you can apply the brakes on a long train without risking breakage of the links. Passenger trains use disk brakes and through electronic control can apply the brakes evenly across the entire length of the train, so the brakes can be applied much more quickly.

I think the weight of a car itself wouldn't change the theoretically possible stopping distance, since the momentum is proportional to the mass, but so is the friction between wheel and track, so mass cancels out.

By reading the stream of comments on the PR, and from my own experience, I feel that it is extremely cumbersome to do code reviews on Github.
