I'm not saying you can't use 1/7th of your brain to watch the other 6/7ths. But why do there have to be six kinds of knowing? What if there are 14 kinds? What if there are only two?

What you're describing is a fetish for a master who taught you a way of categorizing your thoughts. It's nice that it works for you, but it isn't a real thing, and imposing it on the rest of the world as if it were the definition of being "MINDFUL" is a savage crime against humanity.

[edit] Just to explain why it's a crime: It's a crime because we also know what is real. And when you claim that you alone know what is real because you have six secret spices and ingredients in your chicken, and our chicken is not real chicken, I say NO, I don't think YOU actually are serving chicken.
This is very cool. It seems like the perfect language for making web components. Do you have a "compile as component" mode to output components or component-like packages (like Angular Elements)?
I'm not American.

I moved from California to Hong Kong years ago.

Somehow, I'm still supposed to be filing tax returns in the US and in CA. It's absolutely bonkers.

I haven't stepped foot in the US in >18mo.

The USA won't let go of their hold on me, forcing me to pay taxes in a country and state I don't live, and refuses to consider me a non-resident unless I go through a complex process to renounce my green card, and give it a long buffer time.

It's absurd. I wish I could just tell them to shove it, but sadly I do need the ability to come back for the occasional work meeting and personal reasons.
Interesting, I've used them at a few startups (including a YC one) so I'm skeptical they have that much of a different focus but the community aspect and matching algos are interesting, it's something we tried to do at Gigster back in the day too.
Looks great!

From a first look, I love the dimension types and the tags which compile down to native web components.

Hope good things for this.
Things have only gone this way recently because of the delta variant, if all countries had taken the virus as seriously as those countries the delta variant probably wouldn’t exist and these countries would now be able to effectively vaccinate their populations.
Why does const irk you? const sounds a lot clearer than con. Is that your primary criteria for picking a language? ;)
> The article also brings evidence that many players didn't notice or believe that anything changed, they specifically believed that nothing did change, which is a surprising belief for such a huge change

Not really. The article cites responses in online discussion to that effect. But there is no evidence that those responses came from someone who had ever played the altered version of the game. With certainty, many of them didn't. You don't have to do a playthrough on the latest version before leaving a new comment in a forum thread.

It's a safe bet that the majority of the player base never encountered the bug at all, since it was only available if you downloaded the game within a two-week window.
On the railways in general there is a strong inclination towards keeping what works as the potential downsides of getting it wrong can be literally catastrophic. Things like solid-state interlocks, are reliable and trusted; it's taken a lot of work to develop the same kind of trust in software based systems.

I worked in railway safety back in the early 2000s and moving block signalling was like nuclear fusion, the great hope for increasing capacity and always just around the corner. While it's in use on some underground lines, it still isn't in widespread use on surface lines, it's just proved really hard to get right. We are getting there, it will form part of future systems in Europe, but it's taken decades to get to the level of maturity where people will trust it to carry thousands of people at intercity speeds through complex rail networks.
Clojure absolutely supports this. (let [[a b] lst]) will destructure lst, binding a as the first element and b as the second. The destructuring then recurses to implement your second example.

> Calling Interdependence peer pressure is diluting the nuance of people's relationships.

True, it cannot always be reduced to that, especially within families.

It might often seem detached and of course elders always want to be visited more, but many also prefer that they can live in a special care.

The realities of modern work and family structures in western nations doesn't leave much room for care in many cases and it gives elders as their children more freedom.

It is true about the signaling properties of charity, although that is much more common in high society groups where it is indeed an expectation or a reason to come together. There are exceptions though.
>It just seems to me like Apple doesn't care at all about software quality anymore.

maybe it was cosmic ray, cpu or other hardware bug, c'mon.

Good idea IMO. That feature should be pretty easy to add (famous last words).
OK, so basically humanity so far was in the wrong for not wearing masks for cold, flu, and every other transmissible disease, and we should wear masks forever in public?
I'd say, as usual, it's calling up your rep, senator(s), potus, getting heard.

Because in the US legal system that uses laypeople as judges ("juries"), lawsuits tend to be won by those who put on the best play for the juries, not by those who have the better arguments on their side like in Continental Europe. And to make matters worse, sometimes juries go for obscenely excessive damages against companies to "make a point" - just look at the McDonald's coffee case.
They are used in very specific applications, from industrial robots to cars to mars rovers. They aren't better in general, just suited for the specific use case
I wonder how do they check all those digits are exact? Do they compute it two or more different ways? It is not possible to design a physical test for that precision. But even mathematically, if there's an error in the middle of the digits, what test can we perform to detect it?
100% + when one goes deep into what "self" is the meaning of "selfish" will morph from its conventional definition.

I guess that the next release of Linux will be announced here on HN by a link to a microsoft.com blog post?
It seems like places that actually did “lockdown, wear a mask, and contact trace” did better. (No place in the US did lock downs as far as I know. Several places in China did. When you’re welding steel together to enforce it, it’s probably a lock down. When you’re politely asking people to try to only go to stores once per day, it’s not a lockdown.)
> Spotify works in a browser

Anecdata: I have used this functionality literally once in ~5 years. Safe to retire it and build a real client. I suspect most people don't use the browser.
Not to mention with every new release of Xcode, I seem to be immediately unable to build any (or at least many) of my previous projects without much manual tinkering.

Jumping through hoops to keep (or retrieve) older SDKs etc.

Admittedly I haven't tried this in a year or so, but I imagine the experience hasn't improved.

In no other ecosystem have I found existing projects to break so quickly and reliably with every update to my IDE. I would dread Xcode updates for this reason.
> The tendency to not keep to a strict timetable and the close-running of metro systems makes it hard to slot express trains into gaps between local trains properly.

To be fair, "close-running" is not a word that tends to be associated with the District line ... "signal failure" is, however ! ;-)
> ... the cost of making an app in a typical startup has zero relation to what the users pay ...

These aspects of where the money comes from are orthogonal to the tradeoffs problem though: at the end of the day you have some quantity of money and spending it on A means you don't spend it on B. If performance was sacrificed, you can't look at that in isolation: whether it was a good decision or not depends on what it was traded for.

> But it's not happening because it's not possible for that app to break into that market in the first place.

That whole situation is unfortunate, but tech like Electron that allows companies to take advantage of it also enables independent developers to build things they wouldn't otherwise have time for. It's purely an increase in power and individuals can use it for good or evil.

> It takes hard work - ... - to move it into the "good UX" zone.

This isn't true. If you are to the point of having noticeable performance problems using the DOM/Chromium to render the kind of desktop application UI you might build with QT—you have seriously fucked up (imo). Out of the box this should be blazingly fast; there is nothing extra you need to do to make it fast. Just like don't run expensive computations on the render thread and don't be sloppy lol.

Where the situation complicates is once 'web development culture' is brought into the picture—and I think that's an interesting topic in itself—but it's separate from attributes inherent in Electron.
Why do you think this?

"const" seems clearer to me. "con" seems very open to misinterpretation: could mean many things.

Are there any advantages to "con" over "const"?

A central navigation hub could decide to direct appropriate proportion of drivers a particular way.

Still, the problem is not which routes are least loaded, but how to get people to most efficiently drive en masse.

It is more efficient for everyone to wait ahead of the intersection than to enter it and possibly clog it, yet when others clog it from a different direction, you get stuck. It takes only a few people not driving in everyone's best interest (including their own) for traffic jams to become worse.

And with speed limits, traffic lights and other, non-car traffic (pedestrian/bicycle crossings with and without traffic lights), the problem quickly becomes hard, even for a central navigation hub (eg. there is a long street here that I can go through entirely in 2-3 minutes if everybody is driving at 10-15km/h faster than the speed limit: at the speed limit, you hit at least two traffic lights and spend 5-10 minutes in it).

Problem is likely mathematically solvable only when such a hub drives the cars too.
Yes, also France and parts of Germany.

No more upper back problems and forced to take regular breaks as you can get stiff knees. But all in all very happy with my cheap and nasty set up. Used to have a standing desk but found it harder to concentrate.
Is the difference in length bothering you? In that case I find that let for immutable and var for mutable is pretty good, although for a language that's lose to JS that might not be a good idea. Maybe let for mutable like in JS, and val for immutable? (inspired by Scala).
Studies showed that people who download more, spend more money on music than those who don't.
I hate this as a developer. I feel this is done to force you to buy newer hardware sooner. The SDKs could be decoupled from the Xcode version.

You can work around it a little bit by installing the iOS device support files manually without updating Xcode, but it only allows you to deploy to the device. If you want to build against the newer SDK, you have to update.

Going forward this is one of the reasons I don’t want to personally develop any more apps, as I don’t want to be forced to buy new macs every five years or so.
Yeah, it's something we thought about a lot before implementing the current system.

We think apps like Superhuman have brought the idea of single-key shortcuts into the forefront, and we really like how much more memorable they are for most users.

We'll definitely learn from our users' feedback though, and we'll work on a solution with them if they have issues with it :)

Just like Afganistan, zero covid has no endgame.

I don't know, maybe they are still vaccinating their risk groups, so it makes sense. But at one point in future they will have to open the borders and accept the inevitable.
The majority of the tube network is pretty much already at peak capacity, with trains on the Victoria, Jubilee and Northern being full autonomous with moving block systems as separation distance can now only be maintained through autonomous systems. I think an express service would be wonderful but it would require careful orchestration.

I think it might be worth increasing the line speed through signaling upgrades and more automation.
You call it "full-stack" and mention memoized DOM, which makes it sound like it's not only a language but also a framework.

Is there a clear separation between those two parts? Could someone take just the language without the framework and use it for something that's not web related?
It depends on where you pinch. If you start pinching everywhere, it is going to be very painful!

I am described by some as penny pincher. I am actually not; I just don't like to shop because it is stressful for me. So I try to avoid or delay as much as possible buying anything.

Now, having said that, there are downsides of blanket penny pinching. Instead of helping, it can be counter productive.

You mentioned the rich do not penny pinch as per the book's author. Well, rich spend money only if they can get a return from it; otherwise they will save(read invest) money as much as possible e.g. say if they want to buy a car, first they will see to it if they can pass it as business expense. Other reason they spend money is to project strength/status or for PR purpose. Another reason is for investment purpose, e.g. old paintings, wine, wintage cars, properties etc. So anything that they spend is used in a way to get back more money. Even if they spend on private jet, it is not just to project their status, it is to save them time to reach their destination and hence save money.

I was attending a course on entrepreneurship and the lecturer there once said that most successful entrepreneurs who do not own their own private jet travel by economy class.

Interestingly, I saw sometime back a teleseries on life of Paul Getty. In one of the scenes it is shown that he is recording in his pocket book the money spent on newspaper, and asks his butler to inform the owners of the newspaper that if the newspaper keeps on raising prices without improving the content then he will stop buying the paper :)
There are some surprisingly well maintained and restored Aibos on eBay from 1999 onward, lots of really neat upgrades.

Can anyone comment on the state of running your own code on these machines? I can’t remember if I ever found homebrew tools, or what sdk Sony provides
Does this have a version of the Escalation mod? Ever since I got into that I don't think I can go back to the regular thing. Breaking a 2 hour long stalemate with a Victory and massive support fleet will never get old.

That being said it does look really nice.
It's incredibly frustrating when a software update offers no feedback. I understand Apple doesn't want to burden its non-technical users with the details of what the update is doing but it gives them no recourse when something happens like as described in the blog post.

There should be a hot key that can display the log of the software update process. That way the user can search for "MacOS update stuck on reticulating splines" to try to find possible solutions. I really don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to diagnose issues with their systems.

I think a good test for Lyme disease would be more important than a vaccine (which is welcome too if it works well). The problem with Lyme disease is that it's symptoms are very wide and generic, and the commonly used tests are not very reliable. This means that many people live with the disease not aware of it, while others self-diagnose Lyme disease and cure it even if they didn't have it (because they had symptoms like longterm brain fog).
I'm mostly just parroting what the impact calculator says.

There's no estimation of tsunami impacts, though I'm pretty sure that if the asteroid did strike open water, there would be a large tsunami within at least some tens of kilometers. Note that for massive seismic tsunamis you're looking at vertical continental plate displacements of multiple meters across tens, hundreds, or thousands of kilometers, representing vastly greater energies than this impactor. An asteroid is a point displacement that would dissipate rapidly (square of distance, so that doubling distance reduces intensity by a factor of four), and comparatively small energies.

The 2014 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami is estimated at about 26 MT equivalent, ten times greater than Bennu. It invovled a linear disruption along ~1,600 km (1,000 mi) of tectonic plate, of "several meters". Think of the difference between throwing a stone into water (meteor) and moving a board back and forth (tectonic plate).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_a...

You're looking at a similar situation for an ice impact. The latent heat of fusion of water is high, and the latent heat of vaporisation even higher. Paradoxically, the localised heating converting ice to steam at the impact point reduces the total melting effect.

If the impact were at a critical point that would dislodge an attached ice shelf, there might be a widespread effect, but that's equivalent to placing explosives at a critical weak point of a structure.

The direct heating received is equivalent to that recieved by sunlight falling over a period of 8 hours on a 370,000 km^2 area. That's somewhat less than the size of California. The total area of Antarctica is closer to 14 million km^2.

It's a lot of energy, yes, but on the grand scheme of global warming, a small drop in the bucket.

The energy is enough to melt 31.7 million tonnes (31.7 km^3) of ice, or to vapourise 4.7 millon tonnes (4.7 km^3) of water. (Note that you'd have to first melt and raise the temperature of that water.) A crater 1km deep and 31.7 km in area would have a radius of about 2.25 km. So yes, you'd punch a good-sized hole in the ice, but the net impact is small relative to Antarctica.

Put another way, a large electrical generating plant (2 GW output) releases as much energy as the Hiroshima bomb did (15 kilotons TNT) ... in 9 hours. Both quantities and rates matter, as well as delivery mechanism. Providing 18 GWh to a city as electrical potential over the course of a workday is essential to its operation. Unleashing it as thermal pulse, blast, and radioactive effects in a few milliseconds is highly disruptive.

Similarly, the Chelyabinsk meteor in 2013 was the equivalent of a rougly five hundred kT nuclear blast. That energy was released at a distance (roughly 20 miles / 32 km altitude), over time (several seconds), and in a form (mostly supersonic shockwave) that produced widespread damage on the ground (mostly broken windows and glass, some collapsed walls in weaker structures), but was not directly or indirectly lethal.

Why is it false? Could you please elaborate?

If anything I can see confirmations that natural COVID-19 immunity is on par with COVID-19 vaccines with a lot of outside factors that can influence outcomes in either side.

However, it seems that immune system is very complex and does not work with only antibodies. Even though Natural ~ Pfizer on KPIs these studies usually measure, there are other mechanisms like T-Cell immunity, which are most definitely trained during actual disease, but which might not be activated by narrowly focused vaccines and are hard to measure so we don't know how they work on the wide scale.

For example here[0], blood plasma seems to be different between natural vs vaccinated.

At the same time this rhetoric undermines credibility of institutions and individuals that project such ideas. It seems that in one case the approach is strictly rational and in another we turn our eyes at facts and don't want to believe that our bodies are able to produce something better then scientist at Big Pharma.

People who got COVID-19 already lost in this global roulette game since they are the ones that already absorbed the highest risk in this game. The upper side of it is that if you got out the other way - you get better overall immunity for further reinfections. And now authorities want to push them even further, take even more risk(minimal, but still) which is not necessary based on what data says.

P.S. sorry for rant.
The parentheses color are not caused by this script, but by my usage of rainbow parentheses (some variant of https://github.com/luochen1990/rainbow) which I have configured for my usual light background vim theme.

I did not spend time to set up a more empty vim configuration to take the screenshots.

The script does not introduce any new colors, it just changes what is highlighted as cType.

It does change the color of parentheses for "if" statements to be the same color as the keyword. I am undecided if I should keep that or not. Opinions from people not using rainbow or similar plugins are welcome.
You can definitely use 'just the language' part. I'm using it daily for scripting, and we've written a lot of apis and libraries at Scrimba that does not utilize any of the framework-ish features of the language. But to make the tags and styling work really well it (imho) has to be thought of at the language-level.
There is so much pent up demand for transport in the UK that it completely distorts things. You can have a system that is overcrowded, profit making, expensive for users, and underfunded all at the same time. The economic pulls that could fix this are outweighed by things like housing costs.
