I have to say, I don't know if I'll use this language as I'm not a fan of Ruby syntax really, but the landing page presenting Imba is just phenomenally well done.

1. The live demos that you can easily click to open and edit the examples (but doesn't load in a slow, clunky, ad-infested live code editor like some sites do)

2. Those arrows pointing out language features, so compact, succinct and useful

3. A short list of very well thought-out demos showing off different aspects of the language. (I almost laughed with pleasure at the "autorender=1fps" part).

Great work.

We had a small chance of getting rid of covid if we had gotten nearly everyone, 90%+, vaccinated. That didn't happen, the politicization of the vaccine was insane, and so now we are stuck with covid.

What does this mean? It means we are all going to get covid. Repeatedly. It is a new seasonal illness that will be with us, absent some magical technology. It is (or will be) endemic.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/what-will-it-be-l...

The point of the vaccination now is the same thing as always, to minimize the impact on society. Less hospitalizations and death, less days of our life spent ill, less misery.

People 100% should still get vaccinated, it is deeply stupid not to. It is particularly important the next several months as delta rips through the remaining unvaccinated population (which include those that can't, including under 12 year olds), because we want to avoid filling up hospitals and making our health care quit. For the same reason, we should wear masks and maybe try to reduce the time spent breathing each others air a bit. But the only ones that should live in fear are those unvaccinated that have never had covid and probably the old. But managing fear is something the old has to do anyway, comes with age ;)
The tech part of this is the least concerning to me. We all know there is already a lack of transparency in government IT procurement.

The complete breakdown of accountability is what concerns me the most. Not being forthcoming when something as critical as your evidence system fails is, at best, a huge cover up.

With no benchmarks to back up that statement?
Underground does present challenges but there are many reasons why these seemingly straight-forward jobs take time. You need qualified/certified workers, a load of up-front work related to ventilation, noise, structural movement, surveys etc. Some of this can only be done in engineering hours.

You have issues around the lack of space in central london for work vehicles, the need for removal of rubbish which can't block up emergency staircases, exits.

Then add in the challenges of unknown unknowns and needing to be able to revert any change quickly that can't be done to plan so you don't end up with a closed station and you start to get there.

I assume they had to do them 1 at a time to completion as well?
I don't know if that's actually a moat. It's fairly common in my experience to have Uber and Lyft downloaded, for example, to compare rates, particularly when surge pricing comes into play.
Measuring verbal and motor skills among young children is not the same as an IQ test. We are taking about clear milestones.

You're framing these scores as though they measure the same things in the same ways as IQ tests. IQ tests are basically bullshit among the adult population. It's pretty easy to say that most 1 year olds can walk, so if you have a 15 month old that can't, it's notable. Once flagged in this way, kids are screened more thoroughly.
Agree with you. If Monto only works with 'affiliated companies,' at least strike a deal with those companies to take the financial burden off of their low-wage employees. That other YC startup Payflow (that was actually ripping off UIs, to their detriment) proved it to be possible.

Also the title is misleading. It says it's "Similar to Intel's 4004 CPU", but the similarity is only in transistor count (and even that's off by a factor of 2), not complexity/functionality. Sam Zeloof's IC is basically a grid of non-connected transistors, whereas a CPU is a bunch of transistors arranged in such a way to allow for computation.
I can't believe it, this even has a dsl on top of css, baked in, as if that alone isn't a controversial thing. The rest of the language is really just around "least amount of characters", a really lame motivation that has been done countless times in my lifetime.

I'm all for new programming languages but you need to justify it with actual new ideas and new ways of thinking not some opinion about syntax. Guess what? everybody has one, they're all different.

The QR code is just a hash of the information on the sign to confirm that the system is reading the sign correctly. If someone actually puts up an incorrect sign, it would be immediately apparent to humans.

If you really wanted a secure system you'd just have a database of all the signs in an area that cars could access (for example if I know what road i'm on, and my approximate location on that road, I should be able to look up what the speed limit on this stretch of road is).

The fact is if you want to be able to stop a car from going over a bridge that's collapsed by placing a sign in front of it, inevitably the same system can prevent a car from going over a bridge that hasn't collapsed. Realistically, unexpected road signs should prompt manual operation.
Testing Example Code in Your Jekyll Posts (2018)
A lot of game physics engines are still pretty bad at this, which is why being able to clip through walls is such a common issue. Even in games where the physics are more or less solid, there are usually many bugs where fixed animations allow clipping through stuff (e.g. cover or hurdle-jumping animations), because those simply don't interact with the physics engine at all - you only need to get to a start point that places the animation's end point out of bounds and be able to trigger the animation.

Agree - if we can get rid of HIV we should. I looked at the exclusion criteria in the trial and it didn't mention use of a prophylactic. Widely available prophylactics have been a huge success with preventing HIV, I wonder how that will impact the trial.

>why would anyone "donate" these is a different matter

This is a very big question though. WTF are people thinking? There's a difference between no longer wearing something because it no longer fits but is otherwise in good condition to not being used because it's completely ruined. What mental block exists in the original owner from just throwing away the ruined items vs just holding onto them to donate so someone else can throw it away? Do they actually feel like some good is coming from donating worthless items? I honestly just do understand this.

But, doom-emacs has so many of the things I need already, and adding a new packages is the same as adding them to regular emacs if you need something it doesn't already have.
What was the last breakthrough in computer programming? (2019)
It wouldn't. Their immune system already has a sample of the virus. Giving them a vaccine would give them nothing they don't already have.

The idea behind a vaccine is the give the immune system a sample before it encounters the real virus, which allows it to respond quicker when the real virus arrives, which allows it to prevent the virus to replicate sufficiently to make the person sick.

For someone who already has the virus, the vaccine won't do anything.
>what's to stop the prosecution from actual digital evidence tampering?

This happens apparently already. A few days ago on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27959755

The EFF has already made commentary on this [0], and basically my understanding is that this technology is being advertised and positioned as "expert", and that there is deep science behind it, but in fact it's mostly interpretive, and ultimately state prosecution simply make fanciful deductions based off the results and omit sometimes very important facts.

I think that it is incredibly important that as law enforcement continues to build technology that is only used for prosecution purposes, this technology is heavily public and auditable, as at least with the above, it's quite clear that law enforcement has not been handling the technology responsibly. My personal take is that the technology is only available to those interested in a prosecution, not those you may be saved by it.

Offtop with regards to your site:

- As I get it, it's an NFT-esque system, yes?

- For your signup, it would be useful to maybe do the verification code after the age verification has already been done, or at least make it clear that the verification part needs to be done. I found it when I couldn't click "Continue", but the button was kind of in a blind spot for me

- Also, maybe do verification after you've confirmed age already on a separate screen so that 100% any email you collect there was collected under the indication from the user that they were older than 18 as per your requirements in the EULA

- The download button for the test asset I uploaded, or doesn't seem to do anything really.

Ah, that explains why Libgit2 is so far behind, feature-wise. It'd be so damn nice if that were Git, and the standard CLI just a thin wrapper over it.
It's not that "obvious" and is not always used. For a start, the power is often off at night so you need one of the few battery locos. You also need a clear route from the station to the nearest loading/offloading point, which might be several mile away from the station.

A lot of time, materials and tools are simply loaded through the station manually and since you are not allowed to store anything flammable below ground, some of it needs to be taken back out at the end of the shift.

They are not keen to lose station time but sometimes I think they could afford to lose an hour either end when they are doing engineering work in a station. At least in this instance, they needed to close the station which saves so much time.
Serving B2B clients requires more time than you'd have as a solopreneur because they require a lot of handholding through the entire lifecycle. Even a small SaaS company can have 5-10 people touching a deal in some form (marketing, sales, sales engineer, etc) before its closed.
Sometimes, drivers rob / assault / murder passengers and sometimes passengers rob / assault / murder drivers. Sometimes, you want to do background checks on people driving, and you want to have a way for a passenger to report something like "hey, my driver that dropped me off at my house has now been driving past my house at 2AM", and you want to make it possible to let a driver report something like "hey, my passenger threw up in my car".

So… I worked for the commander on a different deployment, and with many of his intel people. I can tell you that he is extremely conscientious about everything that he gets briefed with. The OGA reports were very detailed, and portrayed the full complexity of the situation, often lacking specific and actionable tactical recommendations. He would press on how to make them so. The subordinate command reports required immediate action. Hopefully you can understand what I’m getting at.
The latter. Vaccines just affect the pathway variants take, but not the rate at which they mutate (they aren't bacteria and other life forms). And argument can be made that the vaccines create pathways to variants that wouldn't have been as viable without the existence of the vaccine, but that's relatively academic. A large population is what increases variant creation.
That doesn't mean it is actually good, it just means that there is a lack of alternatives for meeting people. Society seems to be trending towards less and less interaction with other people.

This is fascuinating. Fortunately I live in a state with very low numbers, both absolute and per-100k, but I was curious about how infections had spread across the country, so I found this data at the CDC:

https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/tables.html

The really strange thing is Massachusetts. In 2010 they had 36.3 confirmed cases per 100k residents--one of the higher rates in the country at that time, but in 2019 they had .1 confirmed cases per 100k, while neighboring states remained high. I have to assume this isn't real or is some kind of artifact (not confirming, just treating?), but I wonder if anyone has any insight into this?

>>Do they actually feel like some good is coming from donating worthless items?

Unfortunately, I believe people are encouraged to donate everything no matter the state, because importers like us pay per kg, so a charity that we buy from will get money for those dirty destroyed shoes, even though they do actually go to landfill on the other end. In a way charities don't really care what's in the bags, the heavier the better. That's why recently it's actually a bit more popular to import from Cash4Clothes charities, as they at the very least have a cursory glance through the goods, so you rarely get actual pure rubbish in there. It has other downsides though.
Travel distance is not the right metric. The question is how easy is it to acquire the desired menu as a target and select it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law

Putting the menu bar at the edge of the screen effectively makes it an infinite sized target so it is much easier to target and select. Menus at the top of a window are easily overshot and missed. Travel distance is easily solved by appropriate acceleration in the pointer driver.

Are you ready to stop using palm oil?

https://www.rainforest-rescue.org/topics/palm-oil
There are not many/any high-frequency metro systems that can do this on the same rails. At peak times, when you could do with the expresses the most, there can be stopping services 1/2 minutes apart on average, which means non-stoppers are simply not possible.

On regional railways, where the service might be every 30 minutes or longer, it is a different prospect since you can send the stopper out immediately after the express and it gets 30 miuntes to get out of the way.
I think my previous comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28208138) highlights why it's problematic to link to release notes from an organization that is not the same organization that actually does the work/releases.

The number of toys or things is a misleading metric.

I have a toddler, and she has likely has 50x the number of toys, but 99% of them are recycled gifts that were handed off to us, or obtained through groups like our local BuyNothing, or from neighbors. Her book collection of children's books, and sing-along books is pretty astounding, but we didn't buy a single one.

Much of our toddler clothes, and baby clothes was likewise donated to us from local families that outgrew them, as fast growing children can wear smaller sizes for just a few months. When all of our kids have outgrown them, we plan on sharing them likewise.
Sometimes I find it a little depressing that (at least through my laymen eyes) we are nearing a technological plateau and that more research into physics is unlikely to get us to a world describe in traditional science fiction with FTL drives and large metal spaceships that can take you from planet to planet.

Then something like this reminds me that if we as a species were able to unlock the secrets of bio-chemistry (not sure if that's the right term) it would be a game changer unlike any seen so far. And the fact that there is a huge corpus of evidence out there in the world called "life" proving some of the possibilities already gives me hope that while we may never have FTL, the future could still be pretty wild.
