> It makes absolutely no sense to claim that a country has a well-functioning society if it happens to have a hand full of ultra-rich billionaires while the whole population suffers to barely make ends meet, let alone have a shot at a decent life.

The US is much, much richer than any remotely comparable entity. Americans do not live the lives of grinding poverty you imagine. The only country or region that consumes more per household is Hong Kong[1]. A comfortable life in the US is available to much, much more of the population than STEM graduates as well.

Have any of you individuals heard about Izotropic? $IZO & $IZOZF.

To all potential investors in IZO, I wanted to share a little write up I made to outline the progress this company has made to allow you to decide if IZO should be the next addition to your portfolio. Sitting with a $41 Million market cap and under 40 M shares outstanding, IZO is about to take the breast imaging industry to a whole new level. Not only is it going to save the life of the females in our lives but it is also going to dominate a 5.4 (2025) billion dollar industry. Traditional Mammograms miss 1 in 5 breast cancers due to false negative test results. When mammograms do detect a tumor/lesion, the abnormality is typically 11mm in size, with IZO’s Breast CT we have proven to detect abnormalities at 3-5 mm in our clinical trials. What this means is we are detecting the cancer 0.93 - 1.5 years earlier over traditional mammography. This will catch the cancer before it metastasizes greatly increasing survival rates. Fast forward to today, we have extensive ongoing trials displaying the dominance of our machine in the industry, collecting data that will only increase our chances of an expedited FDA approval process. A step we have ahead of all of our competitors is the fact that our machine doesn’t require the painful breast compression. If you compare our tech with some of the giants in the business, you’ll find all the others still require painful compression. With Starfish medical (Canada’s largest medical device designer) helping us to design and manufacture our commercial Breast CT device, with Anita Nosratieh Ph.D, a former lead reviewer where she worked with companies seeking approval of breast cancer screening and diagnostic devices, and with Dr. Craig Abbey, a scientific reviewer for the FDA developing and presenting our study designs for the FDA, I think we have an amazing chance at a successful and potentially expedited FDA run. Here is a quote from Starfish Medicals founder and CEO Scott Phillips “"We have worked with numerous companies in the medical and breast imaging spaces. Izotropic has conducted significant technical, clinical and market-positioning efforts that provide a high level of confidence that the final product will meet patient, physician and marketplace requirements.”
Today we are in stage 5 of 10 in our FDA approval process, about to enter stage 6. We have met with the FDA and presented our studies and designs, now we are waiting (literally any day now) for our written feedback to launch into our clinical and non-clinical testing. IZO has already been scouting clinical partners to expedite our process.
We just hired a rockstar team (on top of the team that got us to where we are today), to get our word and product out there, with over 31% insider & management ownership, and the float tightening more and more every day, getting in around this $1.00-$2.00 level is an absolute steal as a long term investment. I can see this going upwards of $10.00 a share in approx 1-2 years time. Good luck and thanks for reading.
See what works best for you here. I have had the same problem for 15 years and weight training actually made it worse. My worse time was when I was coding, weight training and playing bass guitar in a band each week for a long period. I would get home and my hands would be numb and stiff like hooks. I think the fact I was not giving my hands and wrists recovery time made it worse. I’m much better now that I have kids and zero time for a band or occasional gym visits.

My best advice. Try everything and see what helps. I’ve tried every keyboard under the sun. I even bought a datahand keyboard. The Kinesys Advantage is amazing. I have one. It made the biggest difference for me. I cannot use a mouse anymore not even for 10 mins. I use a touchpad now but in the beginning a Wacom touch pen (you can configure it to work in mouse mode) was the only thing I could use. Try these things and see what works.

A physio also gave me some writs stretching exercises to do each day which helped a little.

Biggest things that helped me when coding?...

Kinesys advantage keyboard

Wacom Bamboo tablet and pen (with mouse mode). It’s odd a first but seriously try this if you can’t use a mouse.

Highly recommend trying this.

Ps. Take it seriously and don’t just plough through it. It might never go away fully but you can avoid it getting so bad it affects your career.

The obvious answer to me is that the drawn-out, confused, ultimately abortive transition to Perl 6 sucked all the energy out of the ecosystem and it fell behind. Awkward support for OOP and the whole manual reference thing also probably didn’t help. Ruby in a lot of ways seems like a more modern language that is similar to Perl.
This is a very compelling result considering the lack of complexity.

I wonder how far you could take this with some additional layers on top of height map and color.

The Grand Unified Programming Theory: The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow with principle-based Warehouse/Workshop Model

https://github.com/linpengcheng/PurefunctionPipelineDataflow
I've seen many breathtaking articles on this very page which claim that majority of companies are shifting towards permanent WFH. They were followed by predictions that this will increase.

How am I disconnected from reality?
WebGPU – The Successor to WebGL
Jorge Luis Borges wrote an excellent comparison of translations of the Arabian Nights, notably those of Galland, Burton, Lane and Mardrus. His conclusion was the Lane one was most faithful to the original, despite being prudishly bowdlerized, that Mardrus emphasized the sensual aspects to titillate his readers and Burton on the other hand over-emphasized the violence. I've read the Galland, Mardrus and Burton but not Lane, and can agree on his characterizations of the first three.

It's great to see they have left the footnotes, that are some of the most interesting aspects of the translation (trigger warning: Burton was a Victorian and exhibits all the casual racism of his epoch, despite being very forward-looking in surprising ways).

My favorite one is from volume 1:

There's also the FluxEngine: http://cowlark.com/fluxengine/

(I use it as it has support for reading and writing 800KB Mac disks, which would otherwise require a special floppy drive that can change the rotation speed).
Interesting. I've never experienced latency. I use a 2k monitor. I guess the jump from 2k to 4k is big. I use terminals for text editing with vim (my only IDE), and basic command line stuff like grepping logs, dealing with git and such. I've used xterm, rxvt and st.

When I think about it, there's no smooth movements in my usage. Scrolling is at least one line at a time, cursor movement is at least one character width at a time. So I would be hard pressed to notice latency.

Btw, 240 fps is a very minimal jump from 120 fps. It's much less than 60 to 120. I can't imagine ever being able to tell if my terminal is getting drawn faster than ~50 hz. Well maybe if I was scrolling more than 50 lines per second, but I would probably not care how it looks.
In these circles, yeah, maaaaaybe introverts are the majority.

For the general population? No way. Most studies put the number of introverts somewhere between 20-40%.

Extroverts are loud and they are the majority, too.

As someone on this forum put it, the only evolutionary advantage to being an introvert is that you're insurance in case all the bunched up introverts die in a natural disaster, while you're away sitting alone in your far away corner.
To me it was the documentation. Whenever I tried to get into it, I only came across books/tutorials(I dont remember) which start with, oh pearl, here are regular expressions. And then a very very unstructured heuristical explanation of regular expressions. Usually gave up at that point.
That's supposing the railway is filled bumper-to-bumper with 100 km/h freight trains. More like a conveyor belt than a railway.
I see a problem tho, the floppy don't go nicely with the car enviroment and they will probably become unreadable pretty fast.

I had a similar idea but i wanted to embed small nfc tag into some floppy disk and use a broken floppy reader that i own with a tag reader inside the gut of the reader reusing only the eject mechanism and the led, (i will be missing the nice motor noise tough...).

I'm also experimenting with other cartridge-style meccanism
Ask HN: What are you reading in April 2021?
The problem solved by arena allocators here is to avoid many calls to malloc. System allocator is slow, especially in multithreaded environment. Instead of calling malloc 1000 times to allocate 1000 small pieces (like 16 bytes sized each), malloc is called once and then all the small pieces are carved from the big memory block.

The arena allocators are also popular in game development. Memory is allocated from the arena allocator during frame processing (16 ms), and all this allocated memory is deallocated at once at the end of the frame.
If that's the main driver, then instead of forced WFH, let's do a blanket ban of cars. Not just commute to work, but force people to stay at home at all times. After all, we're ignoring all the other effects here right?
Too late to edit but apparently SSNs are not reused: https://www.ssa.gov/history/hfaq.html

Q20: Are Social Security numbers reused after a person dies?

A: No. We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder's death. Even though we have issued over 453 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.
When we edit, we’re literally building a standard ePub3 file, which natively uses XHTML as its document representation. The pipeline then produces alternative versions of the same file. We could work in LaTeX, but it would reduce our contributor count (more people know XHTML than LaTeX) and we’d need to transform it anyway, with the potential of introducing new bugs.
> How to study programming language theory

I think the information you're looking for would probably come under the umbrella of "Programming Language Design", not "Programming Language Theory" (PLT). Discussions on language design would include topics such as object-oriented vs functional programming, static vs dynamic typing and, importantly, language usability.

However in my experience, PLT is almost entirely concerned with academic research into the properties of highly-advanced type systems. Most of PLT seems to be irrelevant even to the designers of industrial languages, let alone users of them.
Time for some sober reporting on the Nine network attack
I published a book – Deno Web Development
The book focuses on how you can write, test, maintain, and deploy JavaScript and TypeScript web applications using Deno.

It is a guided journey discovering this new runtime, understanding the reasons for its creation, what problems it solves, and how to use it to build a real-world application.

The book starts with “hello world” and finishes with an API deployed in a cloud environment. In the meantime, it covers topics such as dependency and configuration management, connecting with the database, structuring an application, testing, among many others.

I tried to make the book approachable as an introduction to the technology but audacious enough to include many engineering best practices.

Happy to answer any further questions you might have about it!
Not really a mystery why though, is it? Cute and novel ways to do things are less charming when you’re trying to figure out what earth they do well after the fact to solve some problem.

Well, the original posts report some frankly tragic scenarios - so bad that they “reboot to initialize” just to keep sane - in what are some pretty ubiquitous devices. Or not?
Worst thing is that my partner thinks sitting by a computer is not work and she feels entitled to interrupt any time she pleases. I didn't know that side when I worked in office. The first few months were difficult and she only came to terms with that when I started packing my things and said I will be moving out. I learned that this is probably wrong relationship but it is hard to throw away those years, but I can't live with someone who doesn't respect what I do. I am not sure how I missed this?
How do you set those boundaries in a healthy way?
Perhaps a port of reticulate from R to Perl would allow Perl to get at least as many bindings as Python but allow it to keep its blue spoons?

It’s pretty obvious if you look into the issue at all. Trailer parks are modern tenements, and the abusive practices of the owners usually make it a home of last resort.

Most of them predate modern zoning or other laws in the jurisdiction as well, so they are usually an environmental nightmare, often with unsafe wells, or off-code sewers that release sewage.

If there is no logic to be needed, wouldn't any of the RDBMS web-management things work out? (think: phpmyadmin etc.)

Alternatively, FileMaker still exists, including a direct web interface option.

I often find that if you truly want a 'low-code/no-code' thing, you're stuck with no-logic no-interaction software. As soon as you start adding logic, you're essentially migrating from programming in a somewhat re-usable language into 'programming' in the form of pictures and application-specific interfaces, which essentially requires the same effort but is much less reusable.

Unless the 'thing' is really a 'table' with some CRUD operations you're gonna en up in a messy situation where some undocumented macro-filled spreadsheet becomes a lynchpin.
I have a 1-hour each way commute when I have to go to the office. I would love to live closer to the city centre, but the cost is extremely high for houses, so I would need to move to an apartment... I used to do that but decided that the feeling of having your own house and being able to walk outside on the grass and enjoy the weather (when it's a nice day), not to mention the silence at night and even during the day, are much more important to me. Living in an apartment felt like living in a jail to me.

With the pandemic I've been enjoying being at home so much. If they force me to go back to commute I will look for another job.
Domain squatting and phishing. How to protect from it?
The politicians in SF are such entitled babies. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean no consequences for your actions. This victim complex is offensive.
I started with Perl and Python much later (mid-to-late-2000s) and my experience is the opposite. Python programs aged horribly (just after 6 months it could be a half day's work to get the build working locally again) whereas with Perl programs, written correctly with plenty of tests, I could jump into them two years later and everything just worked exactly as where I left it off.

I'm sure python has had several improvements in this regard since, but it just seems to me like it comes at a cost of more complexity (virtualenvs and whatnot.)
As soon as they became easily available, I've bought a no name USB floppy and managed to read and store lots of stuff I still had on decades old floppies that I found at home. I could read just about everything, while many more recent CDs and DVDs I had burned years later, some containing important stuff, became unreadable after even 5 years or less.
I also lost projects I burned in multiple copies on branded media and stored properly; that made me ditch completely the optical disks on all my computers since like 2006.
Fantastic morning read. Thank you so much for sharing. What a story and display of human decency and comradeship at a time of war.
