Speaking of replacements, this is my big complaint about Rust's type system - it has no replacement for templates.

Instead, it has two ways of doing parametric types like matrices:

1. Using the type system, as seen in e.g. nalgebra (https://docs.rs/nalgebra/latest/nalgebra/base/struct.Matrix....)

2. Using macros for codegen, as seen in almost all other linear algebra crates, e.g. ultraviolet (https://crates.io/crates/ultraviolet)

The drawback of (1) is that it's hard to understand or extend, and the type errors are insane, and put Boost to shame. The drawback of (2) is that's just a macro. Of course (1) and (2) are not interoperable.

C++ templates are really underappreciated, because they are a single mechanism that gives you both powerful generics and macro-like codegen, while being easy to adopt gradually. (E.g. you can add concepts when it gets unwieldy, but you don't have to rewrite the whole thing.)

Yeah, I hoped MS would be more supportive of .NET Standard 2.0 during transition period.

I am stuck on .NET48 at least for another two years (because of webforms frontend) and the last version of EF Core that supports .NET Standard 2.0 is 3.1. They dropped .NET Standard 2.0 like a rock... for what? Few default interface implementations.

Or nullability attributes that are missing in .NET Fx, they could also be defined externally, like R# does. Nope, sucks to be you.

> The goal of this essay is to persuade you that we shouldn’t send human beings to Mars, at least not anytime soon.

How soon does anyone think we're going to send people to Mars? In the next 10 years? 20 years? Personally - and I wouldn't mind seeing it happen - I'd be shocked if it was in the next 30 years.

Everyone has a different time frame but I don't think of that as soon.
I'm in Seattle.

Child care is 24k-30k a year, with wait lists that can exceed a year. Parents don't have a choice, if they are lucky enough to get a daycare spot they have to take it wherever it is at.

Gas in Seattle is still around $4.60 a gallon, nearly $1 more per gallon than outside the city.

> 2 million for a home fit for two kids?

A 70yr old home in an above average neighborhood, with 3 bedrooms, costs 1.2 million. If you want that house in an area with highly ranked public schools, you will be approaching 2 million. If you want 4 bedrooms (home office if your company does wfh), add another 200-300k. For the areas with the best public schools, you'll need to go to a neighboring city and those houses can easily reach 2 million, home prices near the nicest schools have nearly doubled in the last 3 years.

A note about schools here, the school you go to is based on where you live, and schools are funded with property taxes. This means more expensive neighborhoods have better schools. In some schools the pipes still have lead in them and the water is unsafe to drink. The city does not have enough money to fund the schools and as such even has repeatedly cut programs as schools are ran in a shoestring budget year after year.

Because of this there is a lot of competition between parents to buy houses in nicer neighborhoods, which dramatically increases home prices.

I migrated two significant projects, one of them took about half a day on my own, the other took several months with a team of people contributing.
He’s had (guessing, including multi guest, and the mma pieces) close to 2,000 guests, and probably has spoken about trans a maximum of 5 times? Call it 1%. If you assume a 2 hour podcast length and a 2 minute instagram length clip that’s 0.01%ish? That’s probably at (or maybe significant below) main stream medias coverage of the topic but that’s a wild guess.

I’m guessing (but not willing to check although it’s easily empirically proveavle) that the variance in view count per episode more than outweighs any “trans conversation premium” if that even exists. At acquisition Spotify mentioned Joe was the most searched query in their search bar they don’t have.

The value of his podcast is the massive audience of humans who watch his 2 to 3 hour multiple times a week diatribes, it’s probably not the little clips that anger people. If you’re clicking at a trans clip and foaming of the mouth, you’re probably going to be super disappointed to listen to 10 hours of rogan and find no salacious topic included.

Plus I’m biased once but he swung by my ju jitsu gym once and he seemed like one of the most normal humans every and super humble.

It’s probably either: how he speaks, his takes in general, how others view him, how others reamplify him, or something else, but I really doubt he’s beating the drum on transgender rights since he’s he seems to in favor of all socially liberal topics in general.
Seems like it would fall under the same heading. Attraction to male sexual characteristics, female sexual characteristics, either, both, nothing, or neither?

I am not saying it fits, but the edge cases in biology get really strange and eventually you need new terms for clarity. Chimera for example can contain one set of male cells and one set of female cells. So you start off with clear separation XX, XY then notice an outlier XXY etc, and suddenly need a new notation XX:XY.
Feature flags or at worse, transpile. Perl did the first (in form of just writing what version features you want to use in header) and they also went thru "UTF8ication" of the language.

Even if you don't get all old code to work, having say 80% of it working means to start using Py3 you'd need to only initally rewrite 20% of the codebase, run tests and off you go, then migrate rest slowly over time.

> and there are going to be hosting providers that do that work for you

There are hosting providers doing that work for you, though several of them are overwhelmed too at the moment. There'll be more.

I run my own, and it's not hard but it's certainly still too much hassle for casual users, so I think there's definitely space for more hosting services.

> I'm not bullish on "the fediverse" as a federation of communities with some global norms

Yeah, a lot of these norms will collapse in the face of a broader user base that want Twitter 2.0, and don't care about a lot of the ideological stuff going on with Mastodon and other current Fediverse software.

> But having actually used it now, I think the underlying technology is a lot smarter than I gave it credit for, and I think it stands a decent chance of being important.

Treating ActivityPub w/WebFinger as a globallly addressable signed pubsub queuing system in itself is very interesting. You can build so much more on top of that than "just" "Twitter 2.0" or Mastodon. Of course there are some examples of that, like Pixelfed, but I think we're just scratching the surface of reimagining services on top of a layer like that.

Guidde – Capture how-to videos instantly
Hey Hacker News!

I’m Moran - Director of Marketing at Guidde.

Guidde is built for everyone who wants to pass information visually - it lets anyone create how-to videos of any workflow for any software and make them look stunning & production ready for sharing with customers and teammates. No design or video editing skills are required.We just added our Voiceover capabilities creating an amazing combination of video and text.

Why did we build Guidde?

As product people, we experienced firsthand the power of video as a tool to pass know-how on previous products we worked on. At the same time, most people we worked with across many companies and roles, did not put video to use as an everyday tool - instead reverting to text and screenshots. The challenges we heard from customer support, success, presales, and product teams were always the same:

Video - too hard to create / don't want to go on camera

Audio - hate how my voice sounds / not a native English speaker /
can't record in an open space full of people

Editing - Gonna need marketing or editing help
with this / what happens when the product changes - will I need to
re-record it? / Not a single design bone in my body

Search - where are all these videos going to be hosted / how
can the rest of my team easily find them when they need to

Say hello to Guidde, a video creation and discovery tool designed for step by step videos where anyone, and we mean anyone, can create beautiful videos of software that deliver the gist of the information you want to pass in 60 seconds or less.

With Guidde you can:
Create instant how-to videos for sharing with customers and your team. Guidde automatically creates highlights and call-outs for your workflows. You can use Guiddes to answer support tickets, create KB articles, pass know-how to teammates and announce new features.

Edit & enhance your video with an interface that anyone who has used Powerpoint before will instantly understand. Including voiceover!!

Make videos directly from your browser and share them in seconds - our average creation time is 3 minutes or less.

Discover videos your team created, without leaving the tool you're currently on, in your flow. Reuse and recycle videos to save you tons of time. You can even edit and design videos together!

Logo with a physical turtle?

Can something be done with an overhead camera, and a bunch of cardboard cutouts using QR codes? I remember one of the (big name?) universities had a project along these lines. In their case they used different patterns of coloured dots on objects, and every object in the room was mapped to a virtual equivalent. Interaction with the computer was solely by moving objects around in the room. I can't find it on Google. It might have had a connection to the Dynabook project? They probably have code ready to go.

Maybe you could have different shaped bits of paper which implement blocks using javascript? Add a "print" function and the programmer could consolidate something they have written using multiple blocks/sheets into a single block/sheet, so allowing more complexity in a smaller space? Alternatively, can it be mapped directly to scratch instead of javascript?

I'm not an artist, but I'm curious as to how digital artists are making money online. Is it comission based? Is it more like only fans, but for art? What platforms are popular?

Back in the day I knew a few people doing a particular type of art, often with mild adult content on deviantart, or in some cases not so mild, and they were able to fulfill commissions that came direct from enquiries. Those days were quite a while ago, however. That particular topic has continued to grow, despite all its stigmas though I'd imagine with growth came more artists and that likely drove prices down for most.

Ask HN: Martian Organisms
Hello all,

I was reading about the eukaryotic cells and this thought popped up: What if either one of bacteria or archaea evolved on earth and the other one evolved on Mars and the one on Mars travelled to Earth with an asteroid? That would speed up the evolution of eukaryotic cells on Earth and would make the life we know of possible (within our time frame).

Anyone has any knowledge on the topic? Can we speculate which one would evolve on Earth and which on Mars? My impression is bacteria is more resistant to harsher conditions so it would be Archea on Earth and bacteria on Mars but maybe someone with a deeper knowledge can comment?

I was inspired by the recent debate about why we should not send humans to Mars soon. Now this idea supports it so that we will have more time to study the origins of life.

All the best for new year :)

Why stay at home parent, that is absurd now days.

> and neither wants to be a stay at home parent even part time.

People want a retirement plan, and that means working and contributing to a 401k. If my wife stopped working, well for one the childcare savings wouldn't be enough to make up for lost income, and two, our retirement plans would be shot to pieces.

Fwiw I'm in Seattle, if you want to go to good public schools, houses cost a lot more. House price here is highly correlated with the quality of the local schools. Want to go to the best schools in the area? Looking at moving outside Seattle to Bellevue, and an old house in the area with the best public schools will reach almost 2 million.

House prices around there have nearly doubled in the past 3 year.

I'm only in an area with slightly above average schools, so a 4 bedroom house here is 1.2-1.5 million. Although since Seattle schools just cancelled their gifted program, parents with smart kids now have to pay for private schools, so shove those costs on top of whatever is saved by moving to Seattle proper instead of one of the more expensive suburbs.

There are not fancy new houses, these are "whatever house is for sale that has the right number of bedrooms" and are often quite old.

> But Jobs predicting this is what they were up to and calling google and complaining they are poaching a whole team from Apple. Is bullying?

How would you feel if you were actively looking for another job and the CEO of your company repeatedly called one the the companies that was going to give you an offer to yell at them and try to intimidate them with threats of "war" into not hiring you?

That sure sounds a lot like bullying, even if you don't think it is bullying, it is certainly an illegal business practice. This isn't just my opinion, but that of the DOJ and the court.

While that case was settled without a trial, I'll note that the judge took the rare step of rejecting the first settlement agreement because Apple and Google didn't pay enough.

Ask HN: Why is Azure Automation taking so long to support fully Python 3.7
Hi,

I don't understand why in 2023, Microsoft Azure Automation's team is still unable to support fully Python 3.7 (despite this feature being in beta since the 22 December 2020: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/azure-automation-python-3-public-preview/) And that Python 3.7 will soon be end of life (in about 5 months, see : https://endoflife.date/python).

They seem to have rolled out Python 3.10 support in October 2022 in preview (read not stable, not all features/integration work), I fear that since Python 3.7 was never out of public preview since Dec 2020, the same will happen with Python 3.10.

I just don't understand why it is so hard, does anyone have any clue to what's taking them so long, or what's being so hard ?

They do have Python 2 support (stable with all features/integrations), however Python 2 isn't really recommended in 2023.

Why is it so hard, to have such a support, is there any other Cloud equivalent to Automation that has better support for executing Python 3 ?
But wait, isn't Google already indexing the Fediverse? Public posts are available through http without auth... so I find it hard to understand the opposition from the admins described in this article. What am I missing?
The difference between kids at a playground and a startup is that kids don't have to worry about anything in that moment.

As a startup founder you usually have to worry about money (personal and in the company) which is technically the only important thing at the end of the day.

Starting a company would be like being on a playground if you could start with at least a couple of million such that you 1) never have to worry about money and 2) can fail multiple times without major consequences.

Startups are hard. I agree, it's not a bad thing and something being hard can also be the challenge that you are looking for.

MoinMoin2 exists and works on Python 3, but sadly there's still no stable release and it requires slightly older Python packages right now.

And if you don't want to use moin2, it can convert the custom markup to Markdown, which you can then use elsewhere.

> No, it's not even remotely worth the amount of confusion and work it caused.

Have you worked with pervasively non-ASCII text in Python 2? Like on a machine where any file might suddenly turn out to be non-ASCII (even if it’s only in a comment), not just data inside a few carefully-patrolled fences? Outside of a few well-behaved libraries (Flask), my experience was that it was utterly impossible. More than half of my time debugging straightforward code was spent chasing down and fixing UnicodeErrors, knowing that some will still remain. And that includes code that used nothing but the standard library.

Now you might think that’s not important, and though I disagree (especially when talking about “most users”) that would be fair. But it is a substantial improvement going from 2 to 3.
