Even without macros, it's useful for languages to have a format that's "readable without parsing", since new language versions can introduce keywords that break existing tooling.

The worst case I experienced was a project to perform static analysis on Haskell code. Some optional features (e.g. LambdaCase) alter the way files must be parsed, and I recall at least one causing an ambiguity. This made parser libraries pretty useless, so I had to use the GHC compiler directly. This was around 2015, when GHC's API was much harder to use programatically; in particular it would often crash (saying "the impossible happened") if it wasn't given exactly the right "DynFlags". Those were hard to guess, so had to be passed through as commandline arguments, essentially re-creating the GHC command!

Sometimes those features and flags are toggled in a "pragma" comment at the top of a file, but it is also very common for projects to specify these in a separate config file for the Cabal build system. Those files are a non-standard format, so we have to parse them using the Cabal library. Hence I ended up essentially re-implementing the Cabal command, as a way to pass the right arguments to my re-implemented GHC command.

That still struggled to parse Haskell code, due to widespread use of the C preprocessor (CPP).

I ended up using the vanilla GHC and Cabal commands, but added my own optimisation pass as a GHC plugin. This pass is a function accepting and returning "GHC Core" (one of GHC's intermediate representations); the only side-effects it permits are for error reporting. Hence my pass just returned its input unmodified, whilst also printing it to stderr (as s-expressions, for simplicity).

This "GHC Core" representation was usable for my project, but I still find it incredible that I wasn't able to reliably parse Haskell code (especially given how well-suited Haskell is for parsing!).
On a side note: some while ago MacOS was showing battery status for bluetooth connected headphones. Now it doesn't. Is there any way to turn it on again? On the other hand: iPhones are still showing battery level.
Do we have today fully lisp based machines? If not then why not?
I remember a story about wolves at Yellowstone ending in similar systemic failure.

Hopefully people doing large scale interventions have better models than 'wiping <species>'.
>("su" is the "superuser" command used to "become" a "superuser", ie. the most powerful user on a UNIX system, where one can perform administrative tasks that ordinary users are not capable of doing)

su is "substitute user," but it defaults to substituting the root user.
Agreed. I moved straight to Apple Maps after Google’s price hike and haven’t had a problem since.

To this day still covered by the free tier whereas on Google it went overnight from free to $300+/month.

I can’t quite recall if you need to be registered as an Apple Developer to use it (probably).
I have a hunch that there is no artifical process that could possibly compete with what nature already has.
The answer is plants. So the solution would be a way to sustainably grow a lot of plants in a short time.

But another main factor is the destruction of the densest of those ecosystems, the rain forest on a large scale.

That is my answer, stop humans/companies/countries from destroying the rain forest on a large scale (I'm looking at brazil and neighbors) and think of ways to rebuild lost rainforest in an efficient way. I am going to wager, from the knowledge and experience I gathered in my years of living, there is no other solution that is sustainable.
Because there are many more such lists https://news.ycombinator.com/lists and putting them all in the header would lead to clutter.
For some reason, non-smoking lung cancer means 2-3x higher chance of finding a mutation that could be used for targeted therapy - e.g. EGFR, ALK, ROS1 and others. It doesn't mean that this mutation was present at birth, but at some point some cells mutated and became cancer cells.
Doesn't matter since you want to dump the gunk somewhere anyways. Just dump it and start over.
An emulator (written in Delphi for Windows) and more information on the AI-1000 and the closely related PB-2000C (which runs C compiled to some sort of p-code) can be found at http://www.pisi.com.pl/piotr433/pb2000ee.htm

PockEmul (https://github.com/matsumo/PockEmul) also seems to support emulating the PB-2000C and AI-1000.

Interesting that the HFP is usable for you. When I've tried to get it working on Linux using blueman, pavucontrol and pulseaudio-bluetooth, switching to HFP is so terrible that I default back to the trusty 3.5mm TRRS jack for calls.

I haven't personally tried it on a MacBook but I do know that colleagues seem to use their bluetooth headphones just fine with no clear quality drop.
Duh. ICANN’t is a disgraceful scam, as is the canned collection of TLDs. The end of a domain name should be ANY STRING, registerable through any registrar… with the e caption of mil, edu, and gov (because they’re still enforced).

Let’s say you’re Bob Williams; registering bob.williams should be a routine transaction.
I have a suspicion that, since GPT-3 gorged its enormously swollen fuzzy digital belly on a lot of real prose, it might, when prompted, occasionally throw in a piece of the prose in question, or a whole original passage, because to its fitting function, it would be a suitable thing to do.

But then again, aren’t we all doing the same, regurgitating bits and pieces that we heard or read before and liked?

Don’t we all sometimes, when busy with our own thoughts and worries, occasionally spout out oddly appropriate responses to what our spouses are speaking, without actually listening to and processing the conversation, maybe because we heard it all so many times we can readily predict what they are going to say? And then we agree that we need to go take the alligator from the repair shop.

However, if anything, GPT-3 is mostly showing how little meaning there is, but in how many words.

Never mind me, I’ll pour myself another one.
The ANT+ protocol is pretty standard in cycling tech, it might be worth seeing if you can reverse engineer anything using that, as it'll likely have more standard data than trying to reverse engineer BLE payloads
Just another salty no-coiner. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just fud to allow them to fill their bags.

The general hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance is really staggering. Makes you do a double take.
I'm kinda surprised Google doesn't do this... They would need to keep track of user seeks and stuff, but it still seems do-able. One simple model is for the server to know when ad-breaks should happen, and prevent any more downloading for the duration of the ad.

Sure, it would break people who want to watch at 2x realtime, but they seem small-fry compared to those with adblockers.
I agree, purely artificial hype can only last so long [1]. Those that are left on the platform are people you really don't want to engage with.

Show HN: Touchless customer onboarding with NFC and Passport
This sounds so great! I wish I could do this for my Sony Headphones app.

I use my Sony WF-1000XM3s almost exclusively with my Mac and it's a shame that each time I need to pair with my iPhone to change the settings. I could possibly use an external software and set the settings to default from the Sony Headphones app but then I won't be able to control Clear Bass, so well yes, there needs to be a Mac app for Sony too.
Neither is it obvious that it would not. And that needs to be shown here.

Yeah, same with google search. Once it has some download and usage history, hopefully search algorithms will adapt.

> Just growing plants and letting them die is purely carbon neutral.

Actually, no. Depending on the plants and circumstances, it can be carbon-(equivalent)-positive because rotting plant material exudes methane, which has a far higher global warming potential than CO₂. So even with simple plant agriculture you can harm the climate, e.g. wet rice production.

If it's an RNA test, doesn't that mean it's just testing for the genetic predisposition? Unless depression is wholly genetic it seems weird to use an RNA test to diagnose it.

hmm.. world of goo is probably one of the oldest indies in that list (wasnt it the first humblebundle game ever or something?) so its shell life was more or less over anyway, so I dont fell really sorry.

Things like youtube run on super-thin margins. Bandwidth and storage costs are massive, compute costs quite big, and ad revenue really quite low.

A competitor would need either a different model to keep costs low (limit video length/quality, the vimeo model of forcing creators to pay, or go for the netflix-like model of having a very limited library), or very deep pockets to run at a loss until they reach youtube-scale.

I'm still mystified how tiktok apparently manage to turn a profit. I have a feeling they are using the 'deep pockets' approach, although the short video format might also bring in more ad revenue per hour of video stored/transcoded/served.
You're not "required" to relocate part of your business to a tax haven, invent a royalty that part of your business owes to another part of your business to zero that business's profit or declare that the sales to local businesses your local account managers are paid commission on are actually completed in a different office overseas.

Doing so is every bit as much of a conscious choice as pretending your blood testing product actually works or that the funds for Peter's ROI don't come from Paul

my understanding from watching that crazy netflix sea documentary is that algae is the go to for oxygen production / carbon capture...anyone have ideas on which is the more important case?
Ah, so it appears that Google is now offering its famously flawless technology for detecting bad actors, to other parties.
As others have said, very well designed, both the UI and the UX.

I have doubts that there'd be a good uptake on this as a "job hunt" app, but it has this fantastic potential for creating multicast networks centered around other topics or interests. From cooking, to music, to architecture, etc. Heck, it may even be something as generic as "stuff I find interesting". Sort of like an RSS reader with a feedback loop. A content discovery app, basically. If you have a good taste in X, you will get a following of those interested in X.

Though, as per usual, this will then loosen its focus and make it less appealing to those after a specific function, like a job search.
I'm excited about this. I've used Excalidraw as a simple, lo-fi interviewing tool at a few companies for when we want candidates to draw something without having too many tools to get bogged down in making a masterpiece. For me it really hits the sweet spot between being fast and flexible like a whiteboard while still working well for computer input (i.e. doesn't make you free draw with a mouse).

It might be worth adding a toggle to the marketing website alongside dark mode to switch the handwriting font to something more readable though

The comment I posted on lobste.rs:

I’ve been curious about this computer for some years, and bid on one some time ago, but at more than 600 € that was more than I was going to pay for it.

As far as I know, the machine is internally the same as the PB-2000C which I do have, just with different key labels and a different ROM.
There is an emulator for Windows here: https://pockemul.com/

I wanted to build myself a modern version of this based on the Planet Computers Gemini (https://www.www3.planetcom.co.uk/gemini-pda) which in theory can run Linux, but I’ve had so much trouble with it (running Linux) that I had to postpone it until I can find some time again.

This effect also happens with continuous models, as there is only a finite number of quantum states in any finite subset of space. In fact, any notion of infinite space will virtually guarantee that there are exact copies (infinite copies) of you and me doing what we do now. But it's basically only a philosophical question since we only have access to our observable universe.

This is a common myth. OSM is a data product, not an API product. The OSM Foundation's map serving infrastructure is not "free as in beer".

But as you said, you can self-host the maps (and geocoding/routing) with a server beefy enough.
And the story continues. The insect pest was countered with widespread pesticide use, eventually nearly extinguishing the bee population in large parts of China. So, today, masses of people walk around hand-pollinating fruit trees.

It's a disaster. Like always when humans intervene in key larts of the ecosystem and totally screw up the network effects.

Another story showing the vast effects of such interventions is the story of the wolf in Yellowstone.

You're getting natural selection backwards.

Evolution quickly selects against reproduction or immediate survival failure, but this modification leads to successful male offspring which makes the scenario trickier.

Unless the modified mosquitoes are handicapped by something, they will be selected just like any other, as best fit metrics are superficial. Humans wouldn't be able to detect that a specific partner could only have male offspring unless it brought along visual defects.

If the population survives for many generations with a significant population of defect males, if there is a physical characteristic in the defect males, and if that can be detected by a mutation present in some females - the UV marker maybe? - then the female population should slowly be replaced by ones that select against the defective male. That's a lot of ifs though.
I learned programming around 1985 on one of these Casio pocket computers. It ran Basic interpreter not lisp. Incredible little machine. It looked like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143595147094 I probably would not be a software engineer at a top company today without it.
Super cool project! Sharing two related pieces of feedback:

1. I'd be willing to buy the app, but I'm missing info on support guarantees. I.e. is there some commitment to support potential changes to the Bose communication protocol for some time period? Personally, I'd be hesitant to pay $9 for an app that might just break with the next Bose update.

2. I wanted to reach out to you to ask about 1, but I didn't find a way to contact you. I don't have Twitter, and there seems to be no e-mail address or anything on the website.

It's not like the area is straight up (coarse and rough and irritating) sand. Tortoises, foxes, lizards, snakes, rodents, bats, birds, etc.

Flora wise, it's going to be predominantly desert scrub bush and to a lesser degree, microphyll woodland. Even in the article photo, you can see desert scrub in the undeveloped portions.

I think environmentalists that care about the desert would much prefer solar development to occur on already disturbed land.
Thanks.
You are absolutely right, internal referrals is one of the use cases. HR can use IPster before opening an opportunity to the outside world. In most cases, they have to use intranet which no one really cares about or reads (at-least not in large organisations).

The initial idea was to help short term contractors and friends/colleagues helping each other.

But I believe IPster should evolve in to something what people want it to be. It just have to be useful.
Yes - I get the same (good) performance as Windows on multiple Linux machines. I'm running Fedora which may help, but I had to do no fiddling - just worked 'out of the box'.
There's a brief overview of the flora and fauna in this desert here [1], and much more detail on the "See also" pages.

In particular, note the endemic flora — these species live _only_ in this desert.

I don't know what impact this development will have, so I won't comment on that.

That was found as a result of the experiment, though. I think he was just pointing out why the expectation was missed (or not seen as likely enough) before the experiment started.

I don’t think it’s weird to assume mosquitoes won’t be able to tell the difference. It turns out that was wrong, I hope it’s taken into account in this experiment.
I don't know about the study itself, but the title of the article doesn't match its content. It seems to be more about a lack of evolution of the link, than about a lack of link.

The article says: "We couldn't tell the difference between social-media impact and mental health in 2010 and 2019. We're not saying that fewer happy people use more social media. We're saying that the connection is not getting stronger."
It must be hard to find a control group of teens not using social media.
The title seems to contradict the content of the research - to quote the abstract of the paper, "Technology engagement had become less strongly associated with depression in the past decade", i.e. there is a link between depression and technology use, it's just not as strong as it used to be.
Does this already include maintenance, repair and replacement?

I guess it depends on how you look at it. I got an apple watch that I wear all the time and I occasionally find the data interesting. For instance, I was able to see in absolute terms just how much cutting out coffee improved my sleep (went from averaging ~6 hours 10 min to ~7 hours asleep). I don't look at the data all the time though.
> Is this fundamentally different than Costco using sales data to choose which Kirkland products to launch/sell?

It's 100% different. Costco doesn't make any of the Kirkland brand products. Their suppliers do. And Costco usually only carries one brand of, say, batteries. They go to Duracell and say "We want to buy X Duracell batteries and Y Kirkland batteries from you over the next Z years". If Duracell doesn't want it, their next call is the same thing to Energizer.

Basically, Costco says to their suppliers "We want to give you X high margin sales and Y much lower margin sales." And you know that going in. And are ecstatic because all those sales would otherwise go to your competitor.

Amazon says "here's a flea market", then uses their security cameras to see what items are selling at everyone's stalls. The next day, the stalls of the people who run the flea market (right next to the front door) also have the best selling items. Oh, and their tables are infinite and maybe they also fuck with the listings on the map to make it harder to find that those items are also at your booth.

> They are the least full of life of usual ecosystems, so if you want to minimize harm when building large infrastructure, they're the logical place to put the infrastructure.

I don't think that necessarily follows — desert ecosystems are often relatively fragile. Small changes to conditions can have a disproportionate, negative effect on the plants and animals that live there. (Or a positive effect on some species, which often means a negative effect on others — i.e. things thrown out of balance.)
