I'm not sure I understand the concern. Static types are checked and emit errors, but they do so statically (i.e. at compilation time).

There's nothing I see in this proposal to prevent a user-agent from running a static analysis on JavaScript input into the console or DOM editor before trying to interpret it. If what you're saying you want is for the typechecking to be done by the user-agent for every piece of downloaded JavaScript... Why? I mean, a user-agent could be constructed to do that, but it'd be inefficient over just trusting the vended code (which, in a sense, we should probably just default to doing, because nothing stops the developer from type-asserting or omitting types so in the grand scheme of things, the code is exactly as provably sound if we typecheck it before running as if we don't).

What would "actual static typing in JavaScript" look like that this proposal isn't?
I prefer XML's verbosity to a full disfunctional language like YAML where adding an extra space might break your config
I would be shocked if that were actually true.

Maybe most top 10 programs do, but in general the variation in CS curricula is incredibly broad and includes tons of Java schools that only focus on imperative and OO paradigms with only passing mentions of functional programming in elective classes.

I really have no idea if the data to support the claim even exists. One would probably have to manually comb through CS curricula to check. My suspicion is that it would not hold up.
Those statistical arguments I wouldn't trust until I'd seen a red team try to pick them apart, it is very easy for your biases to leak in especially in ambiguous things like claiming costs based on area. (example, how do you claim police charges, by the area or the actual number of calls? a highrise with hundreds of people has a very small footprint but likely quite a few emergency calls, vs a few suburban houses which might go decades with 0)

Hydrogen [https://atom.io/packages/hydrogen] running on Atom is the cleanest multi-lingual data science IDE in existence and has been my go-to for years. Haven't found a drop-in replacement elsewhere [vscode's language support is scattered: native python integration, different for R, Julia etc].

Anyone on HN have recs [besides vim slime or send-to-terminal options in other editors, which work but are clunky] ?

> Rural places have huge problems with health care access, obesity, addiction, poverty, and many other issues that predict poor health outcome.

So, yes, probably, but. I went in a rural area in West Virginia for some personal reasons. And i mean rural. One hours and a half from Charleston, and half an hour of the nearest town (population: 728). I think i met all the democrat voters there(four dozen or so :P). Mountain guides, kayak/raft guides, musicians(a lot), old hippies living off the land, a lily farmer, a lot of organic farmers too (And the first goat farmer who convinced me than US cheese is at least as good as french/italian goat cheese). Some of them without running water, almost half of them off grid. I think the "fatest" one was barely over my weight, so between 27 and 29 BMI. I also went to the organic farmer market in Hungtington (Clearly not republican leaning, as the sticker against mountain top mining, pro-unions and "Freedom Industries = Lexycon, protect our water" could show) and to a city music festival (were i met all those communist hippies again). Frankly, the overall health and shape of those people, i thought i was back in europe.

Poverty and health care access, yes. Addiction: not that much. Some are alcoholics, i think i met one meth user, but no one tried to sell to us, and their social life is way too full to have time for this shit. Obesity: clearly not. Less than in Paris.

Also, these people were clearly aware of the Elk river incident (it was four years after, still had banners and stickers warning about water quality) and did flush/replace their pipes, and could very well be the only ones who did.

The `:` are actually doing the same thing, introducing a block (think of it like a limited function).

The `/` are also the same (division), but it's true that we also use `/` to introduce types. For example `x/int`.

> Having this would just mean that we will never ever ever get actual static typing in javascript

I think we will never have enforced static typing in Javascript, because of legacy code.

The solution is to use something higher level. Maybe Elm.

Can someone explain the hype around VSCode to me? I looked into it about a year ago and was immediately turned-off by the overwhelming amount of features that they throw at you right in the 'beginner's tour'.

What I appreciate about Atom is that it is very simple right out of the box and does not get in your way. You cold always beef it up with packages later, but that progression is much more pleasant to me than the VSCode approach.

The biggest selling point of Atom to me as a Python dev was the Hydrogen package. That tight integration of notebook features within the editor is something I have never seen before and a total game changer. Especially if you are working with data that you might need to visualize a lot.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand there is no Hydrogen equivalent in VSCode? Sure, there are plug-ins that let you run your code through a jupyter kernel and display the output in a second terminal pane, but that is not the same as the ability to simply highlight a bit of code, run that and have the results displayed immediately on the next line below.
Having pyplot figures displayed in such a way is also not possible from what I saw, or did I miss something?

>It means the supplemental information needed to run either static or dynamic type-checking is there & so that either browsers or toolchains can use it.

The format isn't specified, it's just a comment. Browsers can't take advantage of it. Toolchains already do cross-compiling when they're bundling anyway, so it's not required on that front.

>what advantage does existing typescript language have, over a backwards-compatible & type-carrying enhancement to JS?

Typescript is on a much faster release schedule than the standards. Just think of how slowly its (amazing) type system would've evolved if designed by committee.

I'd be all for a type system in javascript a couple of years ago. But seeing how fast typescript evolved when it's not limited by a committee, I think that keeping that separate of the main language is completely acceptable.

I find this a little deceptive.

There are all sorts of "particles" that exist in solid matter such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_pair

which are really about a few (or a huge number of) particles behaving collectively like one particle. Things like that happen in particle physics too (e.g. a proton is not an elementary particle but the quarks that make it up are, the whole situation by which particles get their masses from the Higgs Boson involves some interacting particles and fields finding an eigenstate that doesn't interact, etc.)

But then you get the tabletop experiments like this which have some similarity to black holes

https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.6550

but have nothing to do with quantum gravity or the other tough problems w/ black hole theory. The experiment described here is nowhere near a resolution of the dark matter problem.

Until you can't. A good case study is Dice Stockholm, perhaps best known for their stewardship of the Battlefield franchise. They butchered the launch of two titles in a row and lost much of their senior staff.

I've been using it since it first went open source, and while it was (and still is to some degree) a beast to learn, it was pretty much always the best 3D software feature for feature compared against other (quite expensive) software I was using / learning at that time. Over the intervening years it's improved in every possible way (except that it's still extremely complex and powerful, but no getting around that). The thing that helped me learn it then, and still helps now, is that there's a plethora of excellent tutorial videos and websites available (as well as these days many great books and courses), all of which can be easily found with your favorite search engine. For some really great resources, check out Blender Guru, CG Cookie, Blender 4 Noobs, and other such channels (found easily on YouTube and other video hosting websites, and on their own websites as well).
I read some of your comments to others and based on that, here is my suggestion:

- Code without the person who wrote it is mostly going to be useless. You think you can get traction quickly using his code but that's not how it works. You have a sales/marketing/product market fit problem clearly since for 6+ months, you have no meaningful users as you said. So don't worry about keeping the code.

- Seems like your co-founder has decided to pivot and wants to re-use some/all of the code for the new thing. Clearly, you don't want any part of it and you are better off starting fresh even if that means you have to get someone to do the coding again.

I think it is good that he wants to let you pursue the same idea on your own but you need legal help to ensure that you both sing contracts that allow him to do what he wants and allow you do what you want and no possible conflicts happen in the future. One way is to ensure that there is no IP sharing.

Code is mostly useless and can always be re-written. So focus on what you can do on your own to pursue the same idea since you 2 failed at it together. I would evaluate that and go from there.

> Rewriting "culture" as "they are the reason for their own problems” seems rather uncharitable, and unhelpful to the discussion. Why are you doing that, given that it's not adding any clarity?

I was under the impression that it did add clarity, so I find your question odd.

What would be the charitable interpretation of the statement “socioeconomic disparities between black Americans and white Americans are due to their respective cultures”?
I don't have any knowledge of this specific implementation, but my guess would be that it is a question of optimization. If you were to implement something similar to what's physically happening in a camera with a long exposure, you'd have to do a large number of oversamples (e.g. generate 10 sub-frames for every output frame) and merge them together. That's a ton of extra rendering. If, on the other hand, you can get the 3D renderer to generate "smeared geometry" (based on its knowledge of the motion speed, direction, and virtual shutter duration) and render each output frame once, that will get you faster render times.
When the rebels are sponsored by the government and top corporations, it isn't really rebellion.
Stopping coal, oil and natural gas in the energy and heat sector is hard problems because a lot of influential and power companies and powerful people depend on those things to be cheap in order to continue increase revenues. Car manufacturers however doesn't really care that much if they produce an electric car or an IC car, since the profits in selling cars is fairly similar either way. As long they know ahead of time when to switch manufacturing so they can slowly switch production, and all manufacturers are effected identically, it doesn't matter much.

Replacing fossil fuel infrastructure is also very costly to government budgets since existing investment are sunk costs.
I think the first time I became aware that there was something called a "personal computer" was when I saw an add for the IMSAI 8080 in Scientific American when I was in about the first or second grade. I immediately wanted one, because of all the pretty buttons, but it was still several years before my parents got me a computer, a TI-99/4A. It wasn't as pretty though.

That sounds depressing! But it's not my experience at all in the Midwest. I love the seasons. Summer can get a little hot, but there is still a lot to do around here. Winter is very fun to from cross country skiing, to fat tire biking, bonfires, and snowmobiling. I go out regularly in anything as low as -30F to -40F as long as I am dressed properly. Then we get Fall/Spring which are very special.

To each their own but if you are using a platform that is in theory meant to connect you with other people.. then it sounds like you want social connection. Facebook is fake. Phone calls can be fake or awkward or other things too but the default tends to be pretty good with a bit of practice.

Having someone care about you enough to take the time to call you on a semi-regular basis is a feature, not a bug.

The most important anecdote that I can tell from the early 1980s is how optimistic we all were. My dad was an engineer and helped take the lead on fundraising to buy Apple ][+ computers for the school classrooms in our town. He used to earnestly tell everyone that he met that my generation would be the last one to go through a curriculum where programming was not a core skill. He imagined a world where everyone would understand how to code.

He passed away before the realization set in that "computer skills" were going to be defined as word processing and spreadsheets rather than programming, and I think he would be very disappointed in our current trajectory.

> Ballots need serial numbers that trace back to a person that we can pick up a phone and confirm their vote when elections are contested.

That would mean that elections are no longer secret. There are many good reasons why elections are secret in most (all?) democracies. It makes it impossible for people to be pressured into voting a certain way or payed to vote a certain way. It also means that you can't be prosecuted for voting a certain way. Giving up all of this would open up so many new avenues for voter fraud.

Edit: This is not necessarily an argument but secret ballots are part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
