I've used it to make Freja, a text editor making coding GUIs and games fun for me again. Demo: https://youtu.be/KOBi805nxNc

When comparing to non-lisps
1. It has a real REPL, so you can do live coding (this is what makes me choose it over many languages at the same "level", js, lua, python, java). Honestly, this feature alone makes or breaks languages for me.
2. It is easy to interact with C (I found this hard in js, haven't tried the other)

Comparing to lisps (I've only properly tried guile & clojure)
1. Easy to build on windows / macos / linux (compared to guile which I didn't manage to build on windows)
2. Compared to clojure, just closer to the machine overall, in my case specifically OpenGL libs. I love Clojure but have had a hard time making client side apps with it. Done a bunch of CLJS stuff (e.g. card game https://animal-capital.surge.sh/), but many little things get annoying (e.g. can't open my editor from a browser error, can't `eval` etc. Doesn't quite have the live coding feel).

1: On rare cases i use print (testing new stuff), in most case i'd rather have a logger (or the poor man solution : `if $DEBUG == 3: print X`, but a logger is better): it allows me to keep my debugging structure to understand failure (especially when i get the input from a source i don't manage)

2: I wish, but most of the time i can't run in on my company laptop, so no.

3: Yes, pdb/gdb every time

4: With lisp (but really, it's like a step-by-step debugger, so no?)
because they moved the porn industry to the digital era, the same way that things moved from tv to youtube. there are no porn studios in OF but individual performers and this is a "disruption". Of course nobody knows if this will work for other types of content, but at least it worked for porn.

OF pulled what youtube and google do when they "demonetize" people they don't like. It's generally a downgrade from an open market to one where there is not even the possibility to be in a low-volume nice.
> yet here the deviation was half of mean which means they used a uniform variable

What am I missing? The mean of a normal distribution can be any value. A normal with mean 2 and deviation 1 has deviation equal to half of the mean.

Is this related to the fact that miles driven can't be negative (unlike a sample from a genuine normal)?
OnlyFans were mentioned on HN quite regularly before these news. Whenever topic of porn or relationships or social networks appeared.

I learned about OnlyFans from here, months ago.
I disagree.

You're not going to find the parameter which makes a high school nutrition program deterministic. It shouldn't be the goal.
That’s impressive. AFAIK in the US, the only two major cities you can get between on regional trains (i.e., without using the national train operator Amtrak) is New York and Philadelphia (New Jersey Transit from NY to Trenton, then SEPTA from Trenton to Philly).

NYC and Philly are so close that they could almost be considered the same metropolitan area, so it’s not very impressive!

Edit: also Baltimore and Washington, but those are even closer.
> Consumers spent $6bn on Onyfans last year. If the payment industry won't or can't support that, this is another arbitrage opportunity, like it or not. Is there a payment tech that doesn't have centralised gatekeepers, and uses a bearer model to address fraud?

blocking Twitter cookies solved the issue, in Opera. But this user hostile / dark pattern is going to get worse with time for people who do not want to browser Twitter with a Twitter account. Ironically, Twitter will automatically ban the brand new user from doing almost anything on their website if they refuse to give their phone number to Twitter.
Really nicely put.

I've wanted to bring up how physicians treatment of depression has radically changed in the last few decades (to have a much greater appreciation of the medication-assistance), but I didn't want to bring it up myself as I thought it may be too confusion/controversial.
I imagine OnlyFans can survive and thrive by switching their payment methods away from credit cards to fully private Monero or even create their own token. Also by moving their servers to a jurisdiction less oppressive than the Democratic Republic of America.
I am not sure which is the cause and effect, brain control 5G chips were the work of Bill Gates (who as far as I know is not of the Jewish faith) and are outlandish enough. As if to 'prove' these claims are possible and indeed real, gravitas is added to the claim by saying it was in conjunction with the Rothschilds and the Soros Foundation. It did not require me to associate an entire religion with the 'theory', it's in the theory itself, as a cornerstone of supposed proof.

The conversation gets shut down at the retarded assertion that a fake virus was invented in order to inject the population of the world with a brain control device operating, very specifically, on the 5G spectrum.

The phenomenon you are really observing is that stupid people are pejoratively associated with stupid people, especially when they cobble together stupid broad statements like 'all the astronauts and satellites are paid off by the deep state to perpetuate the lie that the earth is round' or 'just ask any Jew and they will confirm they were all told not to go to New York on 9/11'.

I couldn't quite figure out to do anything... "Group by" does nothing, and the docs say it takes effect when you use some aggregate function, of which I couldn't find any?

Would there be any advantage to using ruby or python in an interactive shell or jupyter-style environment?

There are also some spreadsheet-like tools I've found useful, most of all https://openrefine.org.
Visual studio debugger can track hit counts. I would be _very_ surprised if gdb can't do it as well.

With gdb you can even script what it needs to do when it hits a breakpoint. So even if it's not built-in, it's scriptable.

edit: You can even trigger a break or commands if a breakpoint hits a certain number of times: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/GDB_002fMI-Breakpo...

So the hit count is definitely stored.
They will think twice when they realize the people who found them cool and did unpaid marketing for them doesn't anymore.

There is also a massive backlash going on against them. It hit a major tech news outlet here in Norway and was linked from the biggest national newspaper just a few days after it became known, so I guess there will be multiple waves of backlash.
In code I have written, understand how things come together, how things control and data flow from one subsystem to another, I find I don't really need a debugger and print statements provide the same information. In these cases, I'll use whichever is easier to get going with; if stdout etc isn't immediately reachable, or recompiling is awkward then a debugger is useful. But sometimes getting a debugger running is harder than just rerunning a routine again with print/log statements.

On the other hand, when I'm working with a system that I don't know inside and out, a debugger is immensely valuable for helping me 'navigate'; to see what actually gets called when some interface/virtual method is called.

I live in the second world more often than the first.
Are there any ready to use file system implementations available?
So the best case is learning without an IDE, and working with one?
Hmm not true for me, in Switzerland, latest Firefox, never had any Twitter account nor anybody else around me. There is just small box with login on the upper right side of the page which can be easily ignored.
Too volatile and takes too long to process, and you still need to convert it to fiat to make actual money.

There is also normal stuff there. Clown porn is not classified as "sexually explicit".
Interesting to hear!

"hunger" is a simple word for a pretty complex mix of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
Exactly like PornHub.

Payment providers need to be classed as utilities and required to serve any legal business.
Yes, and not just for debugging. Debuggers are great for learning a new codebase.

For debugging proper, sometimes it is indeed faster to just use print statements. As with everything else, you have to use your judgement.

If you are in a situation where you would like to inspect the flow of control through a large chunk of code, debugger is the best. How many print statements are you going to write? Twenty? Hundreds? Okay the log shows that some invariant somewhere broke, but now what? How did we actually get here? Of course, at some point using the debugger makes more sense in such a scenario.

The biggest problem I have seen people have with debugger (in C++ world) is that the debug builds run much slower and it can sometime takes hours to reproduce the state you want to debug. The tip I usually give is: you don't have to have the whole project be built without optimizations. Just enable those flags for the specific components you are debugging.
> The thing is that upper/middle class parents value education more than lower class parents (on average).

I don’t know if I’d agree with this. It might be true in some contemporary societies but I don’t think it is universal. But I do agree with your other point, which is that culture will always dominate other factors in determining how much education parents seek for their children.

Generalizing further, it touches on the Demarcation Problem. What is the difference between scientific hypothesis revision and pseudoscientific goalpost moving?

Surely there is one, but it's maddeningly hard to pin down. Especially when the experiments are hard to perform and control properly, which applies both to psychology and astronomy.
Important to hear this. I'd say there's a huge lack of empathy (understanding that someone can have a very different experience) in this space because of how it's tied in with society's take on individualism & moral responsibility.
Why should a payment processor get to decide anything about the product that one is buying? Especially one that is part of a nearly global duopoly.
When are we going to make this and other forms of public disinformation akin to fraud?

Some of the biggest, deadliest, costliest sagas now and in the past 75 years have been caused by society-level disinformation campaigns by organized groups. Yes, in the long term, the truth wins out, but usually after an incredibly hard fought battle, years or decades of damage, erosion of trust in institutions, and billions in profit rewards for the fraudsters.
That’s not labor. At least not in any meaningful sense. No human is doing any work specifically to host your video.
Another issue is books written by journalists blowing up ideas they find interesting from research and the pulling things out of their ass.

Look at emotional intelligence (EQ) as an example. One of the early books on the subject written by a journalist which was based on a shaky foundation and then added a bunch more sugar. It might as well be a self-help movement which could spawn coaches, authors courses and certifications.
These are top social scientists and, unfortunately, their field is a total dumpster fire at the moment. See https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-018-0399-z
Lark is amazing... But it's also one of the best LR parsers out there and I would guess that mode is used a lot more than the Earley mode.

Either way, I have never used a better parser generator. It has the best usability and incredible performance when you consider it is written in pure Python.
> Think about the replication crisis as actually a generalization crisis. The study said what it said for the exact parameters given. The question is what were all the parameters and which ones are the final result actually sensitive to?

If you can't control parameters so that the results you are claiming are reproducible you are just publishing noise ?
people actually upvote and answer to this question? Who would knows? It's 20 years.

20 years ago php was hot tech, php!!!
> Was M = 26,098.4, SD = 12,253.4 enough to infer a uniform distribution?

No unfortunately it is not. It's perfectly plausible to have a normal distribution with mean = 26k and sd = 12k. Although those numbers do look kinda weird, but nothing you could verify. I am not sure what the F(*) means here, maybe an F statistic? But that seems wrong if you are comparing two normally distributed samples, you might expect a T statistic.

To verify the distribution you would need a histogram or you could get fancy with a qqplot. You could also try a statistical test for a normal distribution but these fail on large sample sizes so the visual plots are your best bet.
As an aside, most modern sailing boats tend to have rudders like this, called "skegless" or "spade" rudders. Though AFAIU this is to simplify construction, and rudders with a skeg are supposedly better.
Fraud rates are often higher on porn sites than elsewhere on the web. At least that used to be the case.
> because a p value was slightly below a threshold target

If some area is getting too many "statistically significant" flukes, they must choose a lower threshold. For example in particle physics they use 5 sigmas that is an insane low threshold, because otherwise they would have to announce a fake particle every month and raise a retraction a few month later.

> even though the coefficient direction/magnitude &c... agreed with the earlier study

This is a problem due to report and publication bias. Last month there was a discussion abut the relation of lead and crime https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28016921 . Everybody knows that lead is bad. In that meta analysis, most studies show a very low effect, and only a few have a strong effect. The problem is that a possible explanations is that flukes that show a strong bad effect are published, but flukes that show that plumber is good for people are silently discarded.

Another field with a lot of report and publication bias are drugs against covid-19. For example look at the graph near the bottom of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27852130 How many of these studies are not even statically significant?
> But why is iMessage so great (asking as a non-apple user)? Is it even e2e?

peer pressure... fear of exclusion from social circles.

It basically has a large market share and people using it dont want to use other messaging tools.

This does not exist outside US.
For my sibling using `git diff`, can i introduce you to tig[0]? I think it is inferior to magit, but you can install and test it with `apt install tig` and then `tig` in a git directory.

Sounds like capitalism to me. Isn't this half of what the holdouts say they want? Businesses should be able to decide things for themselves, same as people? Don't force businesses to work with those that go against their personal feelings on things, like marriage and Kwanzaa?

I wish people could understand that they don't get it both ways. Being internally consistent is important to not be a hypocrite AND to being able to effectively argue a position.
The US has killed 10-21k people with drone strikes since 9/11, including 1-2k civilians and hundreds of children [0]. Of course, real numbers are likely much higher.

I must admit that this has crossed my mind.

I don't see the drive to promote Go by the people who created it.

It feels like, "we tried it...meh".

I might be wrong.
> and perhaps a sense of gratitude or fair play. There aren't any share holders to appease or anything like that.

That’s not a thing. Even non-criminals very frequently feel that someone didn’t fulfill an agreement and refuse to pay.

Companies most certainly aren’t refusing to pay people to please shareholders. Shareholders hate companies that don’t pay their bills.
> I never used any of the skills I learned professionally.

Try harder. I've used every class that I ever studied in either my personal or professional life.

When people ask, "How did you do that?", then you know that you're on the right track.
Thinking I might build a version or two of this. If someone's raising money, maybe we should partner on it. I'd need help with ads / marketing for this kind of scale.. the other parts shouldn't be a problem.
You still need to convert between a token and money, until you can use your Coinlyfans to buy food at your local grocer and pay rent it doesn’t actually help.

Current cryptos are too slow to process and have too many onboarding steps many of which are also quite slow and require more involved from the customer which increases drop outs.

You can’t buy crypto with a credit card easily, even on the big exchanges and you have to go through a KYC process and then use debit or bank transfer usually.

Also Onlyfans is a British startup I’m not even sure it’s hosted in the US.
We're definitely a big proponent of a psychological approach for a lot of Fellas. And "food addiction" is a controversial but rapidly growing area of research.

That said, important to state a psychological-only approach sadly isn't sufficient for the majority of people.

I've never looked for research on this, but the environmental & social pressures are definitely believable why they may produce this outcome. I also wonder how important selection effect is here for your Bondi Beach example.
This has potential consequences I don't like. Once negative results are incentivized the same way as positive results, cheaters could have a perverse incentive to post fraudulent failures to replicate, too.

I think I agree that we need much more transparency and scientific rigor, first. Post the data whenever possible, incentivize people for creating good study protocols that make it harder for any single person to fake the data without it being obvious. Once we have enough confidence in that, let's do preregistration, sure. And then negative results should be as incentivized as positive ones, absolutely.

I worry about the order in which we want to do these things. If people are faking data, we need to make this specific step harder to hide from reviewers.

If you incentivize people to fail to replicate each other without solving the lag between fraudulent data and retractation, you will get fraudulent negative results.

That could cause a lot of confusion. If the replication crisis itself starts to be fraudulent, scientific credibility is further damaged, negative results will be less credible, and fraudsters will profit from the confusion.
> They will anonymously post on the message boards dedicated to ransomeware gangs that this particular gang is not reputable.

And why would someone believe an anonymous post? Don’t you see the problem here?
Good point. It says "any open source or personal project". I think the "or" implies it's ok to use in non-open source projects as long as they're "personal". However the repo just contains the standard GPL-3.0 license, so I'm not sure.
Thank you Brian! Appreciate your support.
So, I'm very pro-green hydrogen. We need to start generating a whole bunch of it right away to start replacing grey hydrogen (fossil fuels split into hydrogen and CO2 and the CO2 vented) that we use for a variety of things today, including fertilizer.

And I think it's fairly sensible to simply ban blue hydrogen and carbon tax grey hydrogen so that people don't get confused.

Combine that with minimum green hydrogen mix regulations that set a glide path to 100% green hydrogen and you're done. We can bring those dates in closer once it becomes obvious it works and is the cheapest option. You've only got the political problem of corporations that benefit from the status quo inciting conspiracy theories and fascism to slightly bump their quarterly numbers.

But, what I think is worth noting about this story, given that the guy runs a green hydrogen company and the other recent one about an Australian mining billionaire and right wing PM speaking out against blue hydrogen in favour of the green hydrogen their company produces, is that we've possibly hit a tipping point where starting a carbon friendly corporation is the best move today for selfish people who just want to get rich.

Which is kind of a good thing, though it feels kind of weird.
> My girlfriend bought an iPad for the kids to watch TV. It's shared by a couple of people. She had to log in with her Apple ID to set it up, and now her personal iMessages and emails are on it. It's stupid.

Apple considers iPads (and iPhones/Macs) as personal devices. You aren't expected to share an iPad, you're expected to buy an iPad for each user.
The old monetarist formula was

[nominal GDP] = [money supply] (x) [velocity of money]

Where nominal GDP is not adjusted for inflation: if the price level doubles but the production stays the same, nominal GDP doubles.

Before governments took this formula seriously, the velocity of money was relatively constant. Whenever they've manipulated the money supply under the guidance of this formula, the velocity of money has been unstable -- particularly when wealth moves upwards in the economy, since rich people have a choice whether or not they will spend, invest, stuff money under a mattress, or buy government bonds.

There needs to be a disincentive to not publishing.

The journal that publishes failed science would be the biggest and most important scientific journal IMO.
Thanks, if I still had a Qubes laptop lying around I wouldn’t have minded, but I do most of my hackernewsing on iOS, which could use a better sandbox…
Wouldn't polymarket be subject to incomplete information? Thus leading to bias. Polymarket would just reflect the market sentiment given a fairly robust analysis of the available information, admittedly a pretty useful idea.

The other issue is that a very niche bet/topic might only have a small sample of analysts placing bets. This would mean you are subject to increased risk of bias from a single bad analyst. Or simply large variance due to small sample size.
Really sorry about this. We tried to make this clear in the post, but you're right we can definitely make this clearer on our website.

Before launching on HN we haven't had an non-Texas traffic so there are some bits we need to change to our infra!
Thanks, couldn't figure out how to follow the Twitter thread to the end.

This is a really cool idea, but I would have much preferred to learn about it as a blog post or YouTube video.
Python and Haskell are interesting because the indentation is crucial to figure out the correct nesting. Haskell allows to use curly braces and semicolons to completely remove indentation, so the lexer only has to add virtual tokens into the token stream. For Python, I don't know how it deals with it.

C/C++ have plenty of difficult syntax edge cases. For example, >> can represent a single operator in an expression or two successive > in a template declaration.
I'm really just asking, do you think VSCode is a text editor? I used to put it in the same categories as IDE (and thought that it was really better than Netbeans and Eclipse)
This kind of demarcation usually hints that you are dealing with a subject that is not as concrete as you had supposed. "Science" doesn't really have a concrete definition, a pseudoscience just means stuff that is pretending to be science.

Remember that scientists existed before philosophy of science, including formalisations of The Scientific Method. Darwin wasn't following the scientific method, the method followed him.
That’s a strawman. Reproducibility does not require determinism.

If you can’t find the parameters that make it reproducible, what value does it have in the first place?
