I don’t need this, though I see how it’d be useful. However, your Show HN title is clickbaity in the worse sense: “could be game changer” is meaningless and does not inspire confidence, those words would be better spent clarifying what the tool does. At first I understood it as translating JSON to other formats, not translating the text itself.

The website does a good job of explaining what this is, but the Show HN title (and other marketing you do in this vein) may end limiting your reach.
In Common Lisp you have the option of using CLOS which is a wonderfully flexible and customisable object system:

There are no leftist politicians in the United States. I think you're mixing up liberals and leftists.
Sure, but getting those credits entails a much smaller group of people to avoid pissing off, and a much smaller corpus of regulation to avoid falling foul of.

A much (much) larger proportion of the hard work with Tesla was on vehicle development. Just look at the story of the development of the original roadster, which started out in concept as a modified Lotus Elise, but ended up being basically a completely reengineered car, and the reengineering was made that much more difficult by starting from an existing platform rather than from scratch with a clean slate.

With Twitter you have a clumsily handled set of layoffs, with lots of talk about Musk wanting to see code samples from engineers (and frankly way too much talk about Twitter's engineering in general), carried out in front of an already more-politicised-than-the-general-population userbase, features retired, introduced, withdrawn, etc., and in general lots of thrashing around. And all of this in view of an entire audience with a greater-than-the-general-population bias towards kicking off and taking matters viral.

Tesla started small: Twitter was already (relatively) a giant company with thousands of employees. It's just a fundamentally less "make it soable" situation than a small, primarily engineering focussed, car startup.
They got the etymology wrong. There is no negative connotation.
I had expected that baby boomers wanting to retire would obviously swing the pendulum (from capital to labour); why hasn't it?

(arguably, the pitiful interest rates that were available until recently are not exactly a sign of capital strength, but neither has labour appeared particularly strong.)
Thanks for the real-world perspective. There's a lot of stuff I didn't know in there.

> Although not a Wirth language, perhaps Ada comes closest to being a usable, if cumbersome, language from the same mindset.

A legit point.

I find it very amusing (in a tragi-comic sort of way) that despite regularly ranking as the fastest language outside the C family in the "Benchmarks Game" – https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame – it gets overlooked or ignored compared to trendier languages for xNix types.

(Interestingly, getting that link, I see that it's changed in the last year or so since I last looked. E.g. Julia is doing well, which is impressive: it is designed to be fast at numerical stuff, but even so, it's not compiled.)

Ada was seen as huge and bloated in the '80s, yes. Compared to most 20th century languages, it's positively lean and svelte.

> I'm not familar with Oberon though.

It's been a research interest of mine for years now; cf.
https://www.theregister.com/2015/12/02/pi_versus_oberton/

I got some interest from the Squeak community a while ago. Not sure if anything will come of it, though.

I am in an Oberon Telegram chat channel, but it's in Russian, a language of which I understand very little. Various Russian institutions have been working with Wirthian languages for 30+ years now. There is active interested and R&D going on there.

I think it's worth a look. A complete compiler, together with its own IDE and self-hosted on its own (somewhat rudimentary) OS, in just a few tens of thousands of lines of code. It's got the functionality of an early x86 Unix but it's down around the size of mid-era MS-DOS.

I am not aware of anything else that compares to it. A list of its characteristics I thought notable:

• a clean, simple OS, with SMP support, that supported pre-emption, memory management etc.

• in a type-safe language, with a native-object-code compiler — not JITTed, not using a VM or runtime

• and a readable language, not something far outside the Algol family of imperative HLLs

• that was portable across different architectures

• that was FOSS and could be forked

• that was documented and had a user community who knew it

• that can be built with FOSS tools (which RISC OS fails, for instance)

• which is or was used by non-specialists for general purpose computing

• which can usefully access the Internet

• which runs on commodity hardware
Well that was kind of my point, why assume that the above poster would go for the most naive possible implementation when thinking about it for more than a minute yields several obvious solutions, and there are known implementations that have already solved that problem?

ZSTD also has some fun "dictionary" operations so that even if you're chunking your data you can still take advantage of cross-chunk redundancy by "training" across all your chunks before the compression stage.
Amigas were very popular in video editing.

"Basic" video editing like adding subtitles or logos to live stream tv (what was not basic at that time) was done with the relatively cheap Amigas. For example the local news program on cable TV could have used an Amiga for rudimentary graphics or transitions between scenes.

I think they also used Amigas for music production, but here it was also Atari ST.
> our existing widespread moral intuition that A hurting B results in a moral and potentially legal claim to redress from B towards A

This would be the part where differ. I understand the argument, but as you point out it would lead us to a dead end.

IMHO someone being hurt doesn’t mean they need reparation. As an example, people mourning are deeply hurt, and they will also be extra sensible to specific words that are mundane but resonate differently to them. We can both recognize they’re hurt, some words hit them differently, and have no redressment to them outside of sympathy perhaps.

That’s an extreme example, but I would see a lot of steps on the spectrum, including for instance my boss hurting my feelings by coldly and factually pointing out how bad of a job I did.

I get to decide if I’m hurt or not, but that doesn’t automatically make me a victim entitled to reparations.
I would love one of those for traveling.

It does happen here in Belgium, at least in Antwerp. But I have to say this is the worst place I've seen in Europe regarding traffic rules violations, and people routinely drive on red at the slightest excuse.
> This allows less stops for cars at night.

Which is better for the environment, and for the sleep of residents adjacent to the road. From that perspective, it seems like madness to suggest that cars should be forced to stop and idle repeatedly during the night on the offchance that a pedestrian might be waiting to cross. A pedestrian idling for a few minutes (assuming they require the guidance of the "green man" and are unable to assess the safety of crossing themselves) has much lower impact.
how does this compare to Notion?
The same old story: the rise of «worse is better». UNIX workstations hardware was always miles and miles better[0], although it could no longer compete with the commodity PC hardware due to being exorbitantly priced. Coupled with highly aggressive and anticompetitive practices of Microsoft, the demise was inevitable and quick.

[0] With the exception of the lower end UNIX workstations which were still better, yet a tad bit more expensive compared to the commodity PC hardware.
Absolutely not, this is such a US centric view. The bicycle is clearly the most egalitarian form of transportation since walking.

It requires much less maintenance overhead, no license at all to drive, and you can technically take it cross country if you want.

Its fuel and thereby range is not determined by your financial status, only your health.

England didn't take words from French, the French inserted them by force. The French conquered them and they had to learn some French to understand their lords and masters who spoke a different language.

That's why they as peasants looked after the cows, but the aristocrats from France ate the beef. (Sheep/mutton, pig/pork)

As the comment suggests: you are an admin and you need to create a few new accounts. If you do need to create hundreds you will probably use a batch script or something, but for just a couple using a web ui seems more convenient, and using an autogenerated password helps you.

In that case, if you are not paying attention all the new accounts will have the same password, which is a privacy issue.
Maybe the author has it backwards. Correlation causation etc. Could it be that access to public transport, or better infrastructure in general, gives people the opportunity to earn better wages?
CSS is not usually the worst cause of woeful website performance, but you can make simple style optimizations to improve your site.
If you are on a UN*X Type system, you can create your own random passwords very easily.

> The claim that “accessible public transportation” can produce greater equality ignores the fact that mass transit, whether private or public, has generally been used mainly by an elite. In 2019, the median income of people who commuted by transit to work was significantly higher than the median income of people who commuted by any other method. More people who commuted by transit in 2019 earned over $65,000 a year than those who earned under $25,000.

Might have something to do with the fact that there is not much public transport in the US and most can be found in very large cities. Since city dwellers have a higher income on average this is not the least bit surprising.

The conclusion of the article is build on this argument and quickly falls apart in Europe. The argument not even true for the US because it is warped by cities like New York City.
> I have the same feeling that these are not very uncommon

The article explicitly states the rarity is at the given latitude:

“Such clouds are very rare at this latitude and also in winter…”

Naturally they chose to over-emphasize the rarity aspect in the headline, otherwise no-one would bother clicking.

Thank you for taking the time and maintaining the passion to write a reply this detailed. Much of this goes over my head, but that just means I've got me some learning to do.

I'll be keeping this bookmarked to refer back to.

I should also say, a few years ago I read "the man who mistook his wife for a hat" and it totally changed my thinking on how the brain works, as in it has clearly evolved in an entirely "evolved" manner, ie. unstructured, pieces fitting together as they randomly develop. The one sentence description I've come up with is: the brain, our logic engine, doesn't actually work in a way that we would consider logical.

What this means for me, combined with my abstract understanding of your commentary, is that consciousness won't be achieved when you're trying to build it, consciousness will be achieved by trying to build the pieces that can grow and work together over time to become consciousness (I can't quite find the right words to demonstrate what I mean - we can't build "it" but we can build something that can evolve into "it").
The problem with death and aging in its current form is that it's non-consensual. Of course there will be people who would like to expire, and of course they will always be able to do so — the same way today someone who was diagnosed with a bacterial infection can refuse to take antibiotics and die exactly like everyone did in the 19th century.

It sickens me when people romanticize death. There's nothing romantic about the world being taken away from you at the time when you've understood so much of it and found your place in it — and could have contributed so much more to it, and enjoyed it so much more. It's an artificial limit imposed on us by the nature that needs to be fought with all available resources. It should definitely not be accepted.

It's about time humanity stops being humble about this stuff, ffs.
The author doesn't consider the world beyond the US.

Mass transit being used by elites and cars by the poor is far from true in many other places. In fact, mass transit was free in many communist countries, and is still free in cities here and there.
> mass transit, whether private or public, has generally been used mainly by an elite.

So does this article really apply outside of the US, RU, and other such places with vast swathes of low-density not-so-economically-integrated populations?
“In the US”.

One only has to visit a less wealthy country (just cross the border to Mexico) where the fallacy of the article is evident when the average person’s salary is not enough to buy even a clunker and keep it running (fuel is damn expensive). And public transportation is used massively due to it being the only other option to getting around. “ mass transit, whether private or public, has generally been used mainly by an elite.” Please what? Has this person ever actually used public transportation? Just get your head out of your iPad and look around. And that’s just one example. I even doubt this holds generally true in the US.

I would think that those guys would love to pay couple billion for such platform and to verify there is no disagreeable material in there either in tweets or private messages.
interesting idea. databases/warehouses are one form of nexus then. not a platform, but still a nexus. as i went into data engineering I discovered that a lot of people are using ETL tools (like Fivetran and Airbyte where i work) to move data out from saas data silos into a warehouse basically so they dont have to figure out each API themselves. from there multiple teams can rely on the same data without any coordination. i think its a very interesting pattern that basically arises out of CAP theorem (and the pesky fact that APIs are not standardized; SQL is a much better "API" than most APIs)
The relay's orbital inclination can be changed so the plane of the orbit is perpendicular to the direction of the target star, so there's always line of sight. I think coherent light would be distinguishable from background sunlight.

I vaguely recall some telescopes simply block out sunlight by having a black disk in the center of the aperture, and orienting the telescope so the sun is behind the disk, but I can't find the search term.

Because if you want to influence the voting patterns of a population, knowing as much as you can is useful. Search history + TikTok + FB would give you unbeatable datasets that you could use for the lifetime of the person. Take a dataset now, add a decade of AI progress and I’m pretty sure a nefarious actor would be leading many people around by the nose. Not all, but 5% would move many elections.

They wouldn’t even need to learn all that much about you as an individual. Just enough to match you with a cluster from their own population that they have infinite data on.
The problem being, social aggregations are essentially regulated by convention, meaning, by a network of trust, which in turn requires a minimum of stability. The lesson to be learned from this adventure is really about stability and how social aggregations and their wider sphere (i.e., advertisers) react, when you pull this stability without providing sufficient reasons for this. Mind that this wasn't a fresh start-up, but an already established community (or, to be precise, a bundle of communities with diverging interests and backgrounds that somehow had grown to tolerate each other to a certain extent as long as they sticked to some unwritten conventions.)
Glad to hear this was helpful, and regarding managing stuff like credentials, I like the pattern of initializing the client up front using component, mount. Then passing the client in the resource map.

The advantage over simply passing credentials is that the initializer for the client can validate itself when it loads. If you just pass the credentials and assemble the client when you try to send the message then if some variables weren't set correctly you only find out when you try to use the client at as opposed to when application starts.
Your comment reminded me of a line I heard from a 90s comedian: "Oh, the royals are a sort of middle-class German family really,"
Tesla is potentially in meaningful trouble at this point.

Basically the entire market of everyone who realistically might consider an electric vehicle in the next five years overwhelmingly wants nothing to do with him moving forward.

insanely expensive light-rail projects when buses can provide as good or better transportation for far less money

Haha. Insanely expensive, I don't doubt, but as good as or better service? Spotted the person who hasn't relied on public transport for more than a month of their life. Compared to light rail, buses are miserable.
CO2 isn't 4% of the atmosphere, it's 0.04% of the atmosphere, but that's still enough to make a huge difference to the climate.
The Dutch historical dictionary (we say "hiep hiep hoera") says it might stem from Prussian soldiers, but that an older reference exists about use by English sailors, and there was a considerable linguistic exchange between seamen. Another option it cites is that it came via the French houra from the Russian "urá", a transcription of a Kozak war cry.

There's no way whatsoever that it is tied to the Holocaust. If we take that path, I guess books will be banned next, so they can no longer be burned.

I'm just confused about why he didn't followed his train of thought further (i.e. first principles thinking) on that. As I see it, people don't change their mind mainly for two reasons. One is that no compelling new information reaches them, and the other is that as people age, they have to be more conservative on their own diminishing energy, which affects them in multiple ways (avoiding the challenge of their current beliefs, which can be tiresome and not that necessary compared to someone younger that has to find out more about the world in order to grow and gain competence; or increasingly limiting the circle of people that is one's idea exchange medium, which can devolve into something where politeness becomes more important than other things; etc.), then there is just the custom of leaving the elderly be as their change is not worth the cost. (On the last one it's not only the elderly, as many aspects that people give up on attempts to "fix" each other starting from much earlier ages.) Now, if only that aging and age related energy decay could be solved, there would be an entirely new game, looking for a new homeostasis! ...or maybe one has to be young enough to be curious enough about something like this?
That's a matter of perspective.

I do remember Edinburgh as very pedestrian hostile: At nearly every interesection pedestrians had to wait for a felt eternity.

And as someone who went to an accredited engineering program, I’d agree they’re silly. Doctor’s and lawyers have specific value in being restricted because the harm is so high. Chartered engineers can’t be confused because the business hiring them should be doing a backend check with the licensing board to confirm their license anyway (regardless of the title they put on a resume). I used to think it’s a good thing but I’ve come around to recognizing it as unnecessary protectionism / wanting to feel special.

Also doctors raise similar complaints when PhDs call themselves doctors.

So are we using 1984's newspeak now? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak
Here's another Google Translate of a German article: https://www-tagesschau-de.translate.goog/inland/innenpolitik...

Broken electronics, cable fire, tower failure: According to "Spiegel" information, all 18 "Puma" armored personnel carriers involved in a Bundeswehr exercise failed. This could also have an impact on a NATO mission. During training with 18 combat vehicles, operational readiness dropped to zero within a few days, reports the "Spiegel". According to the report, von Butler wrote that the last two “Pumas” that were still operational failed during the maneuver “after an hour and a half with tower defects”. Above all, the electronics of the high-tech tank are vulnerable, in one tank there was even a serious cable fire in the driver's compartment. The tower of the "Puma" is unmanned. It is operated remotely by the crew.

That's why I found it interesting for HN, because it was supposed to be so modern and high tech and such and now (as we know how the sauce is made) we see how that can be a huge problem easily. Too sophisticated for its own good.

And yeah it's an IFV. In German it's a "Schuetzenpanzer" and "Panzer" = "Tank". But that's the Guardian's title.
