1. I have a domain in waiting. They might want me to buy nomad.xx or nomad.yy so I am waiting on the funding before I purchase more than one.

2. It is version v0,1, built over a weekend, so its still very early days.

3. It is in the works.

4. I plan to show that in v0,2 pre alpha.

> avoid rebuilding your rendered document too often. It's slow

How slow can it be today? I did typeset one book using LaTeX and the tricky part was that it had to look like a series of books typeset with QuarkXPress, so it took me lots of time to modify/adapt LaTeX so that the output would match what the editor wanted. Later on I simply used QuarkXPress: not that I didn't like LaTeX but... I got a Mac with QuarkXPress.

But that was in the late nineties. Back when compiling, say, Emacs, took 45 minutes (which now takes 2 minutes or less depending on your system). Certainly LaTeX did benefit greatly too from advances in computing power during a quarter of a century? How can rendering a LaTeX document be still slow today?
Performance reasons, also wanted it to work on the web (Flutter web support is fairly recent, and dart/flutter libraries don't automatically work on the web, they have to support the platform).

> Except the most effective thing you can do as an individual is have a colonoscopy, not be the sort of person who would have one :-)

So we have two hypotheses here:

1. Having the colonoscopy is the thing that reduces deaths from colon cancer

2. Having the colonoscopy correlates to some other factor, X; and it's actually X which reduces the deaths from colon cancer.

X, for instance, could be a high willingness / ability to see the doctor when you experience early symptoms of colon cancer. That is, the more willing you are to go to the doctor when you start to have early symptoms of colon cancer, the more likely you are to survive it; and the more willing/able you are to go to the doctor when you have early symptoms of colon cancer, the more willing/able you are to have a colonoscopy.

What evidence do you have to believe that #1 is true, rather than #2?

Because if #1 is the case, the medical system should push hard on colonoscopies. But if #2 is the case, pushing colonoscopies might be a red herring. In fact, it might be counterproductive -- I've heard that colonoscopies are unpleasant; if you pressure people who don't like doctors into having a colonoscopy, and they have a terrible experience, then when they experience early symptoms of colon cancer, they may be more likely to procrastinate to avoid having another one. Rather, if #2 is the case, the medical system should try find out what can be done to make people more willing / able to get early medical care.
My favorite tools to keep a zero vulnerabilities posture
Having a high-paying job at a well-known tech company that average people recognize is the definition of a prestigious job in society.

If you don’t think FAANG jobs are socially prestigious, you’re probably thinking too narrowly within the HN comment section bubble. Talk to first-generation college graduates looking to make it big in the engineering world and FAANG jobs are the definition of prestigious to them and their families.

It's not clear to me that's a viable business model change for them? They compete with a previously entrenched entity, hotels. Anecdotally, people I know already complain about the perception of unreasonably high service fees and are opting for cheaper hotels when possible. This is different than five years ago where people reached for AirBnB first.

It's a bit of a snark, but we have floating homes - they're called boats. Admittedly, they don't have sweet curved glass, panoramic views, multiple stories, and a smart watch.

Reading up on these folks, it seems like the principle idea is that the homes would be placed in shallowish water, outside of major cities (those that are on the coast already). Given the design company is apparently in Panama, I would have thought that stability would be a key consideration, given things like hurricanes. A good hurricane (is there such a thing?) already makes an absolute mess of boats on moorings; I've seen writeups on pushing your boat as far as possible into a mangrove to ride out a hurricane, but mangroves are not exactly as common as they used to be.

The fact that the prototype required an active bilge pumping solution to work is .. yeah, about that. Nice basis for a new reef you've got there.

> The trial’s primary analysis found that colonoscopy only cut colon cancer risk by roughly a fifth

Perhaps it was oversold, but a 20% reduction still seems significant.
To provide a counterpoint, that is true for some religious environments but not others.

In some you are taught that the world is a beautiful and fascinating place. To question, explore, and try to understand it gives you a greater appreciation for its maker.
Meta’s Copy-Acquire-Kill Strategy Fails, Again

The US often operates as part of a coalition and it is desirable for coalition partners to be able to understand how to cooperate with US army units. If you encrypt docs that you want to share with partners, then you have to share your encryption mechanism, which may be much more problematic.

Also, these sorts of docs contain general procedures, not the actual plans of a specific operation.

Managing taxes, withholding, reporting, and other legal requirements in many thousands of individual jurisdictions would be a challenge as well.
This might not be the best way to go about it because what you care about in this scenario is the location of the drone, not the operator, who might stand outside the no flight zone. Which is another reason to use the drone's GPS signal in the app instead of your phone location.

Either way when using a drone they will know your location, but there's no reason to let DJI access this information when using every single product they make.
Allow me to suggest sable for the category of non-violent open world games. It doesn't really have any grinding but the travel in the game forces a zen-like approach to it all. I kinda wish it didn't have fast travel to be honest.

Nowadays I am seeing enormous growth in product management orgs, product mgrs growing like crazy. In my company, we see that product orgs have ballooned a lot and product managers are also not helping that much. A lot of them don't have any product vision and just act like glorified project managers. I am not saying all are bad, I have seen some good ones, but seems like a lot of them are just there to take advantage of the growth.

> Money is just the common language you and I use to express what we personally value.

It is, but we do not have equal opportunity to express that value. Some people have thousands of times more money than others, and thus the things they value are over-represented by monetary value. Furthermore, due to marginal utility, the things we first spend money on tend to much more valuable to us than the things we spend extra spare money on, the money spent by the rich tend to be less representative of actual value than that spent by the poor. As that is a huge proportion of the total money spent in our current society (see for example https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/jan/21/world-26-ri...), money ends up not being that great a measure of true value as defined by the things that people want and need.
I have been typing Dvorak for about 15 years, give or take (I had been typing qwerty before that). A couple of years after the switch I started to play World of Warcraft, and I thought it was too much effort to rebind all the keys (they assumed qwerty), so I just played it on qwerty. My brain quickly learned to associate the game with the keyboard layout, so I would type qwerty at full speed when chatting in-game. Typing qwerty on someone else's computer was much harder and required some conscious effort. I wonder if mentally switching between keyboard layouts is similar to switching between speaking different languages.
Vaguely relatedly, the "Cast Court" in the Victoria & Albert museum in London is full of 19th-century models of various famous bits of architecture and sculpture, mostly done by plaster cast:

There are a lot of changes in the windows and other stuff that is difficult to modify in real life. It would be nice to be able to restrict the changes, but it's probably difficult to "explain" that restriction to Stable Diffusion.

People with high comp aren't there by chance, and don't keep their job if they don't perform consistently at their level.

I worked in both environments, and it was quite similar to me. But FAANG was more stressful than the startup (which had investor cash to burn, and no angry customers). Also management is always behind your back and pushing you to your limits, in an environment were almost everyone is good and hard working.

So far things that enable faster search and faster learning win over long run.

Recursive things like backprop in NN and optimizing reward over long trees of states, seem to win despite huge compute requirements.

Personally I think we are still on the right track of trying to do the right thing, then do the thing right, then do the thing faster.

You cannot refute the things you do not understand.
This sounds a lot like "it's intolerant not to tolerate bigotry," which is, in the vernacular of my birth state, a dog that won't hunt.
It's important to realize that the GOAL of the Fed was to raise inflation, but since they can't create money (only change rates and bond terms) it affected primarily financial assets... so we have had financial asset inflation since the dotcom boom (and entry of China into WTO) because of the Fed mandate. For long term growth we should have spent money (eg on broken bridges and infrastructure), but that requires congress to allocate funds so instead it was all monetary (and tax cuts).
side question.

anyone know if DJI drone use prolific within China? How does China regulate their own drones?
Given the negative views that a lot of average people have towards some of those FAANGs (more specifically, Facebook and Google), I would disagree that they're viewed as "prestigious" jobs. Years ago, sure, but whatever air of prestige they had going for themselves is quickly disappearing.
Wholeheartedly agree with the thrust of the post.

I don't know anything about the author. Perhaps she has specific risk factors or is somehow immunocompromised, but barring that...

> societal tiredness from being in a pandemic, from having to constantly re-evaluate risk factors

This strikes me as a bit obsessive, absent some other details that explain this. If you're relatively young and healthy, I don't see why one would be thinking very much about COVID at this late time (Sept 2022 when she posted this). Am I underestimating the varying impact COVID has on people? I could understand this a couple of years ago, but I think remaining very focused on COVID (again, for most healthy individuals) at this point is a bit of a pathology and something the media perhaps encouraged. I dunno, just my 2c
“ Seriously the EU and US need to step up and establish or at least fund companies that can compete with DJI and other sanctioned entities.”

Establishing legible regulations, yes - but why should taxpayers fund drone companies? What is the public benefit in doing so?

The drone can refuse to takeoff or fly into restricted space based just on its own GPS. It absolutely does not require to track the pilot.
Engineering managers and even directors have no knowledge of large changes like this until the very last minute.

Huh. I didn’t see that in my exam. They did a biopsy on one polyp, but I wasn’t charged for it.
This seems just like kicking the can down the road, pretending that time zones don't matter because you don't want them to.

If I'm comparing system time one year ago to system time now, that's a duration, and the timezones don't matter. But if I'm not comparing, just recording, then the point of comparison is the unix epoch, which is a point time.

Time zones don't matter to durations, only to points in time, okay. The unix epoch is a point in time. Saying it isn't a point in time, or that its timezone doesn't matter doesn't actually make it so.

"It's the very precise number of seconds since an event that took place 52 years ago, and it has a margin of error of 86,400 seconds," sounds crazy to me.
Apple is kind of a similar story. They've moved from being a high-growth, tech-based stock, into a stable, brand-based stock a couple years ago - about the time when Warren Buffet spotted it and added them to his portfolio. Perhaps they're also looking for a chance to catch some second wind.

Amazon have them way cheaper.
Why? Genuinely curious
I agree the quality of Amazon self-published books can be terrible, notably recipe books. just as youtube can make anyone a tv star, or spotify a musician, Amazon self-publishing means anyone can be an author now

as for the metadata, that would be retrospectively impossible. your best chance would be to filter out Amazon as a publisher
I'm surprised the conversation here is focused on whether Dvorak is useful on mobile (with - unsurpisingly - many differing opinions) rather than the issue of openness.

Why don't iOS and Android allow plug-and-play layouts with their built in keyboards? It would be low complexity and put power/accessibility back into the hands of users.
To test your hypothesis I just googled the articles Pixel 2 vs it's competitor iPhone 8. In both the top two search results the Pixel (narrowly) bested the iPhone, so looks like maybe a bit of rose-tinted brand-owners perspective in your case?
There are competitors in EU and US: Skydio and Parrot are the first I can think of, although their products cost more and aren't as consumer focused.
I'm afraid I can't answer your question. Either scenario -- a unified system or a "halfway house" -- might be the case; it depends on the intentions of people who design programming languages and the number of pretty arbitrary factors determining their success. But since the general trend is that the PL community is heading towards more advanced type features, maybe someday we should see such a language.

By the way, I don't think it's time to claim that Rust is a "good enough" house -- simply too little time passed since it was embraced by the community. The language didn't even include `async`/`.await` some four years ago. Macros 2.0 are being developed; a new trait solver too. If after some ten or twenty years we'll find it being a mess of legacy, maybe it is not the right way to design a language.
Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t really know the difference in the terms being thrown around, just the oddness in the billing.
Why do (some?) browsers still let JS autoplay audio but not plain <audio> elements?

as someone that's self taught, i really wish math was taught via stronly typed programming languages.

Math is so full of loosey-goosey context dependent ambiguous notation. It makes it easy to have a very terse expression communicate a powerful idea, but it makes it impossible to just parse an arbitrary expression.

Just as an example, look at the maclauren series as defined in the link. It uses f-dot, f-double-dot, then f^(n), having to note that (n) is the nth derivative rather than exponentiation. You have syntax switching and an ambiguity in the same expression.
The Ukrainian-Russo war has shown the military the power of offensive drones. You think they are going to allow civilians to own such powerful potential weapons in the future? I think offensive drone warfare is just scratching the surface. I can think of a few modifications to drones, I've yet to see in Ukraine, that could increase their lethality 10x.
Show HN: We built a tool that automatically generates API tests
Hi, this is Mish and Sebastian.
We are working on Step CI - a fully automated API testing platform for developers.

Step CI works programming-language independent and for different API paradigms (REST, GraphQL, XML).

Our CLI and test runner are available on GitHub (https://github.com/stepci) under the MPLv2 license.

Since our last launch, Step CI is now able to generate automated tests for your API based on your OpenAPI (Swagger) spec. This saves you a lot of time as you never have to write and maintain your tests again!

We would like to invite you to try our tool and give us feedback! Please star us on GitHub, if you like what we are working on!

We are very thankful for your attention and any feedback or suggestions we receive from you :)

I think compile times for LaTeX are an over-stated issues (I mean if nothing else it is really easy to get the document to compile in the background). But we should note that it isn't just a matter of length, there are various packages that require an additional pass over the document.

I guess it depends on your definition of 'extremely difficult', but I can confirm that in many European countries, you can't 'just' fire someone.

You either have to have firm proof that the person is severely underperforming (building up a dossier over months or years), or firm proof that the company needs to lay off people. When laying off you can't choose who to lay off, but it has to be on a "last in first out" basis (within interchangeable jobs).
