Hi all!

I've been working on ECMA-402 for the last 6 years on behalf of Mozilla. I'm excited to see it showcased on HN!
We have an amazing, inclusive and open community of engineers, linguists and standardization exports from all of the World from largest corporations to smallest non profits and maintainers of open source little libraries.

If you'd like to see what we're working on, see https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/master/ecma402/README...

If you'd like to join us, please check out https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Our biggest challenge now is to make sure that anyone can use ECMA-402 - either with a well supported JS engine (V8, SpiderMonkey, JSShell etc.) or via library.
To achieve that we're working on Rust project called ICU4X which aims to be able to back ECMA-402 in web browsers, on servers, in client solutions and offer FFI to many programming languages including to JS over WASM.

If you'd like to help us with that, there's tons of work and we're very eager to grow our community!
Check out https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.... and https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x/tree/main/docs

If you have any questions, AMA!
Drink responsibly is just for legal purposes. Every company owner wants their end users to consume more of what they make.
They are saying in a very sleazily suggestive way it is only the US where the system has failed - that is totally false and you can hear here.
I am paying about $300 here in Texas - pretty good plan through Friday Health - neat coverage too.
I think there is a disentangling of the two sides: media, states, companies, people, etc... It appears to be fractal. States are turning left and right. Cities going left and right. Suburbs going left and right. Media going left and right.
It is nice that you can drop to one full time income, but I recommend you at least try to keep your skills up to date, to help keep the pressure off of her by knowing you are ready to dive back in.

I left tech completely for 5 years, to make gears, which was rewarding, I stayed because I was part of a 4 man shop, and it was nice to not worry about servers on the weekends, etc.

My wife's income took a hit, and now I've been out of tech for far too long... nobody programs in Pascal any more.
Yeah, there is no DNS mechanism. Although, IIRC, it is possible to place an entire TLD on the preload list - which still doesn't use DNS, but its a mechanism to enable HSTS where the website itself doesn't do anything.
Buying insurance as a contractor was eye opening to how little my employers had actually been contributing the to cost. Comparable plans were within the ballpark of what I use to pay with employer sponsored health insurance.
Should we be worried about the future of JetBrains' products? I love their IDEs, especially PyCharm and CLion, but when the "woke" comes in, the competency seems to go out the door next, although it takes a few extra years. What would be the reason for doing this? Especially by the Russian team out of Prague?

For most people, it isn't; using the mouse only feels slower. https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/mouse_vs._keyboard/index.html

In Plan 9's Acme, the mouse is your edit mode, the keyboard is your insert mode. I find I'm about as fast for most tasks in Acme as I was in Vim (after using it for years).
D chose GC.
I don't get that option, and instead get a message referencing HSTS, presumably because at some point in the past my browser picked up the HSTS setting for the site.

Americans eat too many calories already. Let us eat some vegetables for a few weeks, it won't kill us.
What I find amazing is that Fivetran is a bunch of glue code to forward data between different APIs and database formats, and it's legitimately useful, in part because when the upstream API breaks they go and fix the connectors for you instead of you having to deal with the resulting emergency... but it's only needed because data interchange standards are in such poor shape. If users demanded that SaaS products make data/event streams/replication logs available via robust and standardized APIs, a lot of the use cases for Fivetran would disappear.

Stoic. An app for practicing stoicism.
Alternately there's NAC, which anecdotally I can say is a miracle if you're expecting to do a lot of drinking, and has some generally good reputation for this purpose and others (including, generically, as a nootropic).

It's a key ingredient in a lot of those commercial pre-drinking drinks. Cycteine itself is used as a combatant against Tylenol poisoning and it accelerates metabolism of acetaldehyde (at least in rats).
As an American living in Russia, I’ve been thinking a lot about the 0.00% BAC limit for driving. Where I lived in America, it was 0.08%, and the general guidance was “two drinks over four hours”. Having such a clear “the DD doesn’t drink” has a lot of different effects I think, notably that there is always at least one person at every gathering that isn’t drinking. Russia certainly isn’t a model country when it comes to alcoholism, but this particular fact seems worth adopting in the USA to me.
This is a big deal for me. I really like to use OBS to capture things when I want to show someone how something is working. Until now using OBS has essentially meant disabling my iGPU which, for me, kills battery life and isn't worth the sacrifice. I have been using Windows Gaming (press Win+G) to capture videos and then manually cropping and re-compressing them using KDEnlive.
While I generally agree some ecosystems may require an IDE (Java). Some may say that the ecosystem is the problem and not the lack of an IDE. And I would not disagree.
It definitely is!

Imagine being able to alter a diagram automatically depending on your backend/infrastructure? :)

> Uniform Function Call Syntax (UFCS)

> This has made my code significantly clearer. My code can accurately follow the flow of data without polluting my stack with single-use variables, nesting many function calls, or other sorts of clutter.

This is also pretty common practice in Haskell. Though Haskeller's typically have a higher tolerance for reading their code backwards. (But you don't need to. It's easy to define operators that arrange your code in the other direction.)
It’s a delicate subject to discuss, to say the least. There has been some tangential research in this area, but most researchers want to avoid the perception of questioning anyone’s response to or definition of trauma.

We do know that the language used to describe a situation can have profound effects on the perceived severity. There is a famous study in which subjects were shown footage of cars crashing into each other and asked to estimate the speed of the collision. It turns out that the way the collision is described has a significant effect on the estimate of the speed. For example, asking someone how fast the cars “smashed” into each other results in more severe estimates than if you ask how fast the cars “collided”. There has been extrapolation to suggest that merely reframing events as traumas is enough to amplify their severity, which could unfortunately create unhelpful negative feedback loops when others are merely trying to help.

There is also a trend toward younger generations feeling that their lives are more due to fate or random chance than their own actions. Reframing outcomes as traumas inherently shifts the outcome to something that is inflicted upon us. Is it possible that prior to your friends’ reframing of those events you viewed the outcomes more as your own successful navigation out of (obviously terrible) random events? Reframing events as traumas can shift the perspective to one of being a helpless victim rather than an active navigator.
SCP 173 Weeping Angel Addon
I'm a bit weirded out by the implication that a purely abstract number system could be possible or impossible based on the actions of any entity, even a god. That's the only way I can see for God to be glorified in the way described. Yet that would mean that it would be possible to create a universe that has free-thinking mathematicians but in which surreal numbers could not exist even as a concept. Which is quite a claim.
How do one even know if one is a targeted user of this?
I’m really confused how the author generated 88 documents in
Preview that are unsaved. What kind of documents and changes were these? Why were they not saved when the changes were made? Preview is mainly used to view image files and do simple editing. Those edits are auto saved as you go long.

I’m sure the author has a point but I’m just distracted by this strange use case.
More large (potentially far more terrifying )flightless birds today, that's probably it.

I guess it's good to have some mundane article in Nature.

Because otherwise Nature mostly attracts high profile papers, that means that articles in Nature are more likely to be wrong than articles in other journals. (Interesting findings are more likely to be wrong.)

I solve hard technical problems involving multiple disciplines: algorithms, fpga/hw design, whole-system performance, mathematics, physics (both classical and quantum), robotics and engineering. And some machine learning. PhD in molecular quantum mechanics, varied career after that, details on request.
At Japan in the meantime, people in book scanning community (that exists) often just cut the book spine and scan the pages using normal scanner, throw it away once all the pages are scanned.

People (rightly) value room spaces than books there.
It's called "Ji-sui" (scanning by oneself) and gear recommendation sites like [1] are abundant. Another reason of "Ji-sui" prevalence was the poor availability of ebooks, although that reason was less relevant today.

I believe the "Not Valid After" field should be used as a "Warn for x days after this date" value where x is a small value (such as 3).
I'd love to see something like this made out of entirely recycled phones and their cameras instead of going with discrete components... any leads?

Generalizing this, in the theory of differentiable manifolds, a vector (well, a "tangent vector") can be thought of as being an arrow rooted at a specific point. In Euclidean space (affine spaces), you can always translate all vectors to an origin, so it's safe to ignore a vector's root, but in general there's not a canonical way to translate vectors. The issue is essentially curvature -- for example, if you took a tangent vector at the north pole of a sphere, dragged it down to the equator, dragged it along the equator for a bit, then dragged it back up to the north pole, the vector would have rotated. What this shows is that vectors at different points are not mutually comparable without more structure.

I swept a detail under the rug, which is that the vectors are infinitesimal arrows, so their tip is not actually another point of the manifold. In an affine space, vectors can be regarded as non-infinitesimal arrows -- the arrows that you always find textbook illustrations on vector arithmetic. The arrows with a common root form a vector space.

May or may not come preloaded with Linux, I wouldn't trust what they'd put on it anyway. Easy to install any Linux distribution you want and stuff generally just works out of the box.
I think we’ll just have to agree to agree. I don’t think the outcome of such a change is really knowable, especially since it can change voting behavior. In any case, the argument that the current apportionment typically produces a matching result, and that’s it’s possible a proportional allocation by some states could produce a worse result in some cases (and a better result in others) isn’t a compelling reason for me to ignore the moral argument, if indeed the moral conviction is genuinely held. (But I don’t think it often is, which is my original point.)
What are examples of cyber offense launched by the US? I haven't even heard about this before.
The idea of a language which underlies the structure of the natural world (the word / logos) is a core underpinning of -- I hesitate to say most, but at the very least -- many sophisticated theologies.

The line between that which you can call "the word" and what you call "math" is not clear to me at all.

I get bitter whenever I think that other people have never had to deal with the problems I have.

Similarly, I feel good/lucky when I remember that some people have to deal with problems much worse than mine.

I usually think about the second category more, but sometimes people talk about something and it leads me to think about the former category, a switch inside me turns on and I feel like shit, so I try to withdraw from those situations if possible.

My point is: comparing my problems with those of the rest of people makes me feel better or worse, depending on the comparison.

I wouldn't qualify my situation as trauma, but some inconsequential conversation can suddenly make me feel disturbed it touches on the specific subjects that I feel bad about.
I've always seen making friends as another hobby that I fail to remain interested in. But unlike hobbies like gushing about television shows or tending gardens, it's frequently stated that you need people to remain mentally healthy at a certain point. My gut feeling towards this sentiment is that given how ambivalent or ruthless some people have been to me when I've tried to play the social tact game, saying that making friends is not just another interest is so unfair that it angers me. (Then again, life generally isn't fair to begin with.)

My issue is similar: the strangers I meet ultimately don't see enough of a reason to keep interacting with me after a certain point, because my interests lie elsewhere. I just find playing the social game and trying to win favor tiresome and depressing, usually not having much to talk about in the end that wouldn't be forcing it or pretentious, and unless the relationship is therapeutic or deliberately a "reach out to me if you want to talk for a few days" sort of thing, it's never worked a single time, so I'm not even in a place to understand what the benefits of a lasting friendship even are, except having someone to endlessly and selfishly vent to.

But people are still pressuring me to get friends. Still it's a challenge that I'm not even sure I feel like surmounting in the first place, not when I don't understand what I'm working towards. And yet I'm up against a body of people that I have the responsibility to convince that I'm worthy of their limited time for this supposed need that will end up killing me if I fail to fulfill it, which from my experience, lack of relatable interests and limited attention span I'm generally not.

I mean, when it feels like the social aspect of your life is just a void and all you believe that having a friend would do is fill that void with something else, is that friendship even going to be be healthy? How can friendships be cultivated with someone that just cannot find a way to care about friendship in the first place?

About the only hope I feel I have is stumbling across someone who has the same disorders as I do, or has a child with one of those disorders, which would temper their outlook on people of my kind to be much more forgiving and patient. (In fact, that's about the only thing related to meeting people that's ever gone well in my life.) Then I would be able to talk about my behavioral patterns without a fear of being rejected due to there not being any way the person can empathize with something they don't want to understand. Ironic, given I don't really care about understanding a lot of things, and at times it feels like I can't help that. Why do some people like writing novels over watching movies? Maybe making friends will never be my hobby, and you probably wouldn't force yourself to get into a hobby that you actively dislike. But failing to remain interested in that hobby could significantly harm my chances of success in life.
Tell Voice to send your messages to email, and they'll be searchable from there. Use a query to ensure that you're searching text messages from Voice based on from address or subject. It won't help with searching messages that you've sent, unfortunately, not will it help with messages from before you turned the option on; I've had it on forever as I used to use it for desktop notifications.

It all depends on which axioms you start with…
How enforced is it in Russia? I live in Lithuania which has a limit of 0.4g/l (I don't know what that is in % BAC). The thing is most people don't care, and even if you are caught, if you know the right person you can get your license back. I'd imagine Russia is pretty similar in that regard, especially in smaller cities.
Why? The date says “Not valid after”, and the site operator can monitor it, or just set a calendar invite when it’s issued. Making the “real” expiration some arbitrary number of days after the marked expiration date seems like it’s unlikely to modify cert owner behaviors, but it does make validation way more complicated for browsers.
Can you give examples of competency going out the door?

I remember a lot of anger and consternation at the Node.js "The power of a pronoun" post, for instance, but Node.js seems to have done just fine in the years since then. (There are plenty of technical criticisms of Node, of course, but it doesn't seem that Node lost competency since that post.)

I remember a lot of anger and consternation at Codes of Conduct, but they seem to be pretty much commonplace now, and not an indicator of low technical quality.

I remember a lot of anger and consternation when GitHub got rid of their meritocracy rug, but they seem to be executing and scaling just fine.

So I can't really think of a concrete reason to worry.
They probably use the same certificate on their backend servers and their load balancers refuse to proxy them.
