> So it doesn't achieve its stated goal of letting you run Typescript in the browser.

At risk of running afoul of HN guidelines: did you actually read the post?

The proposal does not add type checking to JavaScript. It adds type syntax. There is a huge, huge difference.

Their proposal is to implement a comment-like type syntax. These types would be totally ignored at runtime.

This isn't "run TypeScript in the browser"; this is "add syntactic sugar to vanilla JavaScript to get the development benefits of types without a build step."

Yes, JavaScript engines would have to implement a parser for this syntax. Yes, this raises the barrier to building a new JavaScript engine.

Does that mean JavaScript should add no new syntax ever again? No, of course not. So the question becomes one of cost-benefit analysis. And I think the TS team has submitted an extremely compelling argument for the benefits.

Your comment acknowledges the existing benefits of types-in-comments; think of this proposal as a significantly nicer way to write those.
As I said, not hello world necessarily, but any program that writes output can encounter this problem, and there's an overlap with general file-writing even.
Pretty nice,

But There is too much numbers given at the start. And I ended up on a sudoku with 2 possible solutions. At the end there were only 3 pairs of cells with only 5 and 8 in them. If the first one was a 5 it would work, if it was an 8 it would work. I typed 8 and got an error :/
I don't think I've ever seen so many ads in an article. To the point I stopped reading. Wow
I’m trying to do something myself but modelling an existing building. I just get really confused on the “right way” too use these tools. For example, on a log building do I model the logs or some flat wall with a texture, etc?
Again, the cost is likely not be worth it.

It would also be foolish to think we know the answers of how to make amazon more money from our comfy arm chairs.
Its modulation system, wavetable engine, voice synthesis features are all innovative in certain ways. In addition, you can't ignore the UX, being tied to creativity even if it's not part of the sound. Vital has shed the traditional skeuomorphic approach that dominates software synthesizers and proven a lot of new ideas for connecting its features, visualizing its processes, and streamlining user workflow. Similar to what Arturia is doing with Pigments, though Pigments still paints inside the lines a little more.

But it doesn't necessarily have to be innovative to be worthwhile, anyway. Vital has a comprehensive breadth of features for a digital wavetable synth and is often being compared to Serum, historically the marketplace leader in the space.
Is us-east cursed or what?!
I gave up on my rocketbook for this reason. Cleaning the pages with isopropyl alcohol helps, but even it doesn't bring the pages back to how well they worked when new.
Oh yeah, a forced marriage will do a great job. (Thank you for the footnote by the way, I was a bit nervous at the first!)
If this is a topic that interests you I recommend following Stewart Brand on Twitter for news and updates. He is president of The Long Now Foundation. From him I learned a couple of years ago about the concept of "proxies" and the work being done at my hometown University in Santa Cruz (https://genomics.ucsc.edu/)

The idea of an implicit dialogical contract is common to the ideas of
Alfred Jules Ayer, Jurgen Habermas and Carl Rogers in addition to
these "Erotetic" philosophers.

An implicit question rides along with a speech act. Even ones like
submitting post to HN. In this case it is:

"Oh how interesting is Erotetics.. what might this imply for digital
technologies of social or commercial value?"

And the response might be:

"Oh yes, I see there's an overlap with formal query languages (indeed
structured ones (SQL)), so maybe we can learn to make better databases"

OR

"Hmm isn't it interesting that in machine learning the trainer knows
both the question and the answer so; is the weight matrix essentially
the proof that links the a-priori to the consequent? What can this
tell us about building better neural nets"

And still, these questions carry along with them implied questions of
their own, perhaps to do with the study of language as branch of
computing.

Each participant "signs" (like a block-chain) their contribution not
just with a response, but with an implicit expectation.

Wouldn't it be a "fun" (and strange) world, if like that scene in
Mr. Robot where everyone at the Allsafe office wears a label that sums
up their life, if each comment also had a "Why I am saying this and
what I expect in response" field.
How did you get started in the industry at 14? Were these posts internships for teenagers or were you breaking labor laws to quench your thirst for information?

> at the biggest companies you want to have highly information dense slides

One of my bosses got that memo - the whole thing is one single giant slide with 12 indicators or so. Their sessions are hell, they make people roll eyes and disengage out of boredom. The message I get is that they either don't really care to interact with us hoi polloi, or are just bypassing their own inadequacy at managing a deck at speed - which is understandable, but at that point why are you even there?

IMHO, if one has 6-9 segregated boxes on the same slide and is going to describe each one, they could have been 6-9 slides with exactly the same content but bigger and more impactful. But people have grown to fear the whitespace (can't help themselves overfilling each slide) and transitions (the dreaded pause and meaningless "let's read the title" which is horribly endemic in the States), so they go for this compromise. The impatient reads the whole slide and tunes out, but is not annoyed at you for keeping him from doing that, so it's considered a win. Still, he's not listening to anything you're saying - you could have as well just sent an email.

(It might well be just a fad. C-levels love fads like your next person. In fact, they often love creating fads, just to watch the monkey dance.)

IMHO, a slide should have the elements you're linking together to make a single point. If the point is "sales are good but margin is bad", you'll need a few graphs in the same slide, for sure. But you need transitions at some point to keep people awake and focused on the train of thought you want them to ride. Even in a TED talk, where you really just want people to look at you and only you, the occasional flash of light from transitions is necessary to keep the senses engaged.
Either access to the global Internet is not, in fact, economically valuable, or yes, it absolutely would help (in the sense of harming the Russian economy, that is)

TFA explains them succinctly -- lack of investment in public goods leads to a high cost of living which has many long-term negative effects, including low childbirth rates.

It seems more likely that Amazon would just purchase this data from Nielsen or IRI. The data would be nearly as good for the Amazon Brand teams, without the moral hazard of looking at private seller data. It may seem weird to purchase data on your own storefront, but it protects you from situations like this.

I think the two main interests of the US in all that are to weaken Russia as much as possible and to break the close relationship with China, with domino effects in Belarus and Kazakhstan (which would hit China's interests as well).

So ideally they want a weak, Western-friendly regime. But that may be wishful thinking because that's not Russia's historical stance and interests. Whatever we think of Putin, his general aims are an independent, strong and powerful Russia that gains some of the ground lost, which are quite aligned with Russia's historical behaviour.
Especially in smaller markets, there aren't very many agents. You can get a lot out of inviting realtors to coffee from time to time. When somebody is thinking about selling, they often talk to realtors early on, so you can learn about them before they hit the MLS.
I once walked down a street that had hundreds of them. Being bored and interested in spiders, I picked up a twig to provoke them a bit and see how they responded.

Some of them would furiously try to bite the stick and I could feel their fangs scraping on it. So I can’t quite say whether they’re strong enough to break the skin, but they’re strong enough to send vibrations down a 2 foot long stick.
They're amazing. First time I saw someone use one I couldn't believe it.

Mine seemed to run out of ink quicker than normal pens, however that might be possible. And they're not exactly cheap either.
Yes sure!
E.164 is the international standard as set by the ITU. Its a bit like an RFC. The original can be found in English here:
https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-E.164-201011-I/en

The normal public telephone numbers we use are "International ITU-T E.164-number for geographic areas" and all E.164 numbers consist of the digit 0 to 9 only and no other characters. Spaces, symbols prefixes or suffixes do not form part of the number.

Section 12 explains that when a local code should be called in order to make an international call (e.g. dialling 00 from the UK or 011 from the USA) then E.123 suggests using the symbol + before the E.164 number. This symbol can be used when displaying the number to a human so the human can understand that they should replace the + with their local code to call internationally.

There's also a bit in section B.7 which describes CLIs and denotes that a CLI Should only be "the full international ITU-T E.164-number, i.e., country code (CC), national destination code (NDC) and subscriber number (SN). No other information, such as prefixes or symbols (e.g., "+"), should be included"
I'm pretty sure there have been (and still are) more than one country leaders that fit your description. Some of them even come with a complimentary nuclear button.

Not only have I been to Australia, I possess an Australian passport.

For several years, starting when I was married and began filing jointly with my spouse, we have figured our tax owed (we rarely have a refund), paid it, and then several months later receive in the mail a two dollar check from the Treasury with no explanatory letter. This happens whether we e-file, do a paper return or use TurboTax.

My pet theory/fantasy is that my spouse's very long hyphenated foreign name is overflowing some buffer in an ancient IBM 1402 program somewhere in Washington and causing our "tax-owed" to be decremented by two dollars when our returns are processed, but have no specific evidence of this.

I think the footnotes emphasize the meandering and exhaustive aspects of his informationally dense style of writing. I think its a stylistic choice which emphasizes his unique voice.

I don't think hacker news is representative of the type of communication that papers communicate. A lot of times the communication on this website can default to adversarial, which I think is not the default for academic discourse. Plus I imagine there are other forums in academia aside from published studies (I think there are published discussion journals, and you also have blogs and such) that are suitable for that type of communication.

None of this would have happened in a 100% remote work setting. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore 100% remote work if you aren't doing anything important and you can't stand your team, and for those situations it is just plain human rights to enable 100% remote, but I do miss being part of a team and being in office with smart people.

The beauty of this proposal is that it would keep JS as exactly that.

Optional type annotations, packaged as a part of vanilla JS instead of requiring a build step, would be the only benefit. They'd be stripped out at runtime; the compiled JS would be identical.

The field of view is from the manufacturer [1], there are a some specifications at the very end. That the three options are indicated by WFOV (Wide FOV), MFOV (Medium FOV) and NAR (Narrow FOV) I first found in a flight simulator documentation [2] and it matches what you actually see in videos. The zoom is on top of the selected field of view, with a zoom of 2.0 the field of view would shrink to 0.35° in NAR.

There is one thing that I noticed in the flight simulator documentation, the field of views are given as 6°, 3°, and 1.5° while the manufacturer states 6°, 2.6°, and 0.7°. That seems a bit odd as they are seemingly trying to make a very realistic simulation and I don't understand why they would deviate from the real values here. In the end I decided to just stick with the value Raytheon gives without digging too much into this difference.

The frame and object sizes in pixel are certainly correct, everyone can check this. The distance is also easy to read in the video and therefore certainly correct unless you want to argue that the distance measurement didn't work properly and reported a wrong value. Finally the field of view should also be certainly correct, only that the flight simulator documentation gives different values causes me a tiny bit of doubt.

Further questions about the size? If not, what's next? Altitude, temperature, speed, wings, ...? Or does the size alone convince you that it is just a bird?

When my wife and I were looking at buying an investment property, I built a little program to use Zillow's API to get tons of data for a particular area, make some calculations, and then sort the data in order of most potential profit as a rental (based on their estimated rental rates, which are not always perfect of course). Then I added some filters so I could find a property that met our other criteria.

It worked really great, and we never ended up buying a property, but I couldn't help thinking this is a premium feature that Zillow could easily offer and charge for. If anybody at Zillow is interested, feel free to reach out.

I notice this whenever I try to pick up a spider and bring it outside the house. They want to jump off my hand as quickly as possible, and descend to the ground on a strand of silk. They have no interest in biting etc.

So the best way to bring them outside is to put a plastic cup over the spider, then carefully slide a postcard underneath the cup, and then release it outside.
Each text bubble is duplicated from a rigged template speech bubble. The rig controls the dimensions of the bubble based on the size of the text it contains. Drivers are heavily used on the bones to coordinate them with other bones and movement.

Each bubble is parented to a screen object which scrolls upwards, but the parenting is dynamic, so that it only engages when the message has been "sent".

The "typewriter effect" of each bubble is not keyframed (unsupported) but handled by a frame update callback. The typing is determined in advance with random jitters to emulate a person typing.

Hope that explains it! I have considered sharing the framework, but I know I will get a lot of requests that I'm not prepared to handle unless I was receiving donations.
You are right, and apparently people don't like the uncomfortable truth. Russia could bomb the shit out of Ukraine. But they are avoiding civilian casualties.

Yes, I know they're still killing people, but it's not a main goal of this invasion - if it was, they'd be shelling indiscriminately from a distance, something they are capable of.

If their plan worked, to quickly come in and replace the UA government, I'm pretty sure no one would give a shit. "Just another day in Eastern Europe". A few sanctions and move on.

Thanks to Ukrainian resistance, which I believe took everyone by surprise, Europe and the US actually started some serious action against Russia.

Their ground forces are definitely incompetent and underequipped, imo.

I hope it doesn't escalate.
It's a vibrant blue and is an archival ink. Cannot remove it and it's impossible to miss when you stain something with it. It'll stain your fingers for days.

If you drop it on a rug, or countertop or spill some while filling or cleaning a pen it's a major pain to clean up, if you can even clean it up.

It also has a reputation for staining the ink reservoir of your pen and if you have a fancy demonstrator to show off the ink you'll only ever see blue and none of the fun colors you're using.
Sanctions against Russia should focus on stopping the war, and not merely on punishing Russians.

I think that cutting off internet in Russia punishes Russia, but doesn't do anything towards stopping the war. On the contrary, eliminating internet will further cut off Russians from the truth, resulting in further brainwashing of Russian population, more support for Putin, and ultimately more Ukrainian deaths.
This won't work because a) many of the current measures mainly hurt the most westernized part of the population (i.e. those most critical of the current regime) and b) this plays perfectly into Putin's narrative that the West hates Russia and the Russian people.
