Ask HN: It would be nice to see a useful visual language
When I look at the iPad today, I want to say this is how computing should be done (think Dynabook). But it’s merely a consumer centric device without a keyboard attached.

Sure there are visual languages for kids like Scratch. There are even production ready ones like Unreals Blueprints. But there’s nothing general purpose in Pythons sort of way.

It would be nice if the iPad had a way to make programs through drag and drop UI. Define records and functions and use libraries without the need for typing. I feel like instead we just have Chat-GPT as a prompt.

> You cannot be serious.

Reached the same conclusion as you just did. When I get into these discussions, I end up feeling like I'm getting gaslit. Stuff happened, I saw it happen but the other guy just keeps insisting it didn't happen until the end of time. I'm honestly not even sure if it's deliberate or not.

Reductio ad absurdum is the only viable response.
There’s not enough v4 addresses to go around, so if you want to “participate in the net”, then the approach of assigning public IPv6 addresses to end devices is better, not somehow worse.
This wording is unnecessary, but I agree that Wikipedia is quite harmed by some-to-many of its favored policies and editors. I've recently been turned on to Justapedia, a fork project that seems to want to avoid such petty-baron problems by vastly extending the scope of included information. Hopefully they or some other project crack the code for a reliable, free, easy to update online encyclopedia again.

Yeah, the original rationale is kinda perversely interesting:

> my main use case and major motivation was that I had several hundred different versions of Perl

okay... The question is if you want to trust a github filesystem or just spend the $dough to deal with it.
It is not a DNS in the sense of "resolver" but rather a DNS in the sense of "name validator" or "name search".

Cool idea, in any case!
Yeah young people nowadays can use Instagram blindly. Why even bother :)

Wish you much success on your way further, mate!

This is just three paragraphs of saying the same sentiment: "I don't understand why Discord is appealing despite there being alternatives that I believe are better."

People use what they think is best, where "best" has a wide variety of answers and very rarely is the answer "a feature set that programmers think are good".
I’d rather hear what Lars Bak has to say. He’s the one in charge of the JS engine most of us use…
Is he wrong though? (Never read him, but now I suddenly want to.)
The first day at university in the 80s, Computer Science, the head of faculty told us that stats were that only 30% made it to graduation and started walking in front of the first row of the hall. “You will graduate, you won't, you won't. You will graduate, you won't, you won't." Motivational speech or not, at least half of the students dropped out in the first two years. The goal of those two years seemed to be right that: convincing people to leave. Then it got easier and more interesting.
There is always possibiltiy to add little asterisk and disambugate with small text if you choose the second.

This simply isn’t true. There are lots of ways of not trusting cloud storage; that’s the whole point of end to end encryption.

You don’t need to trust the provider to not read your files if they are encrypted clientside and they don’t have the keys.
> we're building an enormous parallel computing infrastructure that's going to revolutionize scientific computing

We're doing an absolute shit job of it and basing our foundations on piles of sand. We're gonna have to throw it all away and do it right the second time if we ever decide to do something useful.

conversational interfaces are superior as the input method but text and images is always superior as the output method (except for driving without FSD or another rare scenarios)
Personally I wish people would shut up and write a technical book. Of course now they can use LLMs to do it and put even less thought into it.
I always secretly hope I get on the wrong plane and end up somewhere fun. It does seem like it can happen from time to time since Ryanair now always informs "if you are on the wrong plane tell us!".
Probably also because it is proprietary and only exists in one cloud platform.
Yeah, an unimplemented abstract method being called shouldn't really ever happen at runtime and should be some form of "Internal Error" and should aggressively try to blow up the program. I think this blog post just convinced me using it is correct. The concrete class that leaves it unimplemented should raise something else if they intend to let consumers catch it with a generic rescue clause (which is probably a code smell itself).
Many airports I have been through do a facial scan during the first ID check and then have cameras at any other point the boarding pass is needed. If your face doesn't match the one stored against your boarding pass an hour or two ago then you have to seek assistance from an employee who will hopefully find out why that is.

You mean "sexbots"? Too niche and expensive. For industrial automation you don't need "AI".

They don't need "AI" to do this.
Yep, double-click+drag is how I do it. On Linux double-click selects a chunk, and then dragging selects more chunks (fully). I double-click on the first or last chunk and go towards the other end.

Not as good as double-click selects all the id, but at least id doesn't take too much time and I don't have to precisely go to one of the ends.
That's because it's another douchily obscure title on HN. They love 'em here, and berate you if you call them out.

Nobody should have to "hope" that an article is about something, after reading a referring post's title.

"The users have all left." the comment reminds me of the way people are when I talk about how badly I want Terrestrial radio to die in a fire.

"People still listen to terrestrial radio?"

Sadly, yes.

There's a new crop pf users today. Depends on the network, depends on the server.

Some of these people are like me, they felt the world was full of possibly back in 2000, they just want the feeling back.

Mind you, some of us know our old uncle that says the good old days were better is full of shit, and has just you know, failed to remember the bad parts of the past. and prefers to only think about the good.

But I started using myself back in like late 1999 to get mp3s before Napster was around, and I'm not like boasting about warez like I'm still 13 I'm actually just matter of fact about it these days like shrug.

Like I don't really think it makes me cooler than anyone else or better or anything, I just- I'm an honest broker.

I do feel an affection for things like the old humorist logs that wwent on bash and everything. the past wasn't better, different, in a lot of ways worse.

but not better.
"A bunch of movies" you say. If you want to talk insane ambition and vision, technically groundbreaking and giant scale filmmaking that was so far ahead of its time it took decades to be recognised, Abel Gance's 1927 Napoleon fits the bill nicely.
> Unless it's at the beginning of a word, like xylophone?

Well, we didn't cover sounding out of `ph` yet, and it isn't a toy he has, so thankfully it is not a word he uses.
In 1990s my grandfather accidentally boarded the plane flying to Frankfurt instead of Dusseldorf and got there. They were departing nearly at the same time, so it was a matter of walk to a wrong plane. He just checked after boarding with flight attendants that it’s indeed THE flight to Germany. Thankfully he had enough relatives all over Germany, so someone could pick him up there too.

Unimaginable situation today because of ID checks.
Nomuk – Maths practice app for kids
Maths app made to make practicing basic maths fun for my kids and to make sure they do problems in a repetitive manner.

Key aspects:
- Basic courses in a hierarchical manner including Addition, subtraction, multiplication,multiplication tables etc.
- Automatically increases the difficulty of problems as your child learns and becomes more proficient.
- No Ads / In App purchases and only a single one time fees forever
- Parental monitoring. When the child starts working out problems, you will get a whatsapp message asking whether you need updates of whats going on. The app will tell you all correct and mistakes your kid did so that you can help them if you see a pattern.
- It also alerts you if the child has moved away from the app to some other app so that you can give a phone to your child and not worry about whether they are doing something else.

I know there is a lot to do and this is merely a start. I would very much like to know your thoughts and opinions on how to improve this for all our kids.

If you do not want to pay for the app to try it, please drop me an email at info@nomu.ai and I will include you as an internal tester and you can test for free.

Your feedback will be very much appreciated.
How many families have the Singapore government's authoritarian policies prevented from even existing, given it's got the third lowest fertility rate in the world; hardly evidence of a place where people feel comfortable to raise families.
I'm assuming it's a reference to this meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/this-is-fine
CPU side took a very long time to pare down the fragmentation. For the first ~50 years there were competing proprietary instruction sets and software stacks, languages and compilers and operating systems were vendor specific, buggy and mutually incompatible. Compilers were sold separately and expensive, apps were platform specific. x86 would have remained a monopoly if not for a licensing accident with Intel second-sourcing chips from AMD.

We're seeing a version of that replaying, with some parts better and some parts worse.

The GPU situation would be ripe for regulation to lift GPU software development from the dark ages, but companies who benefit most (NVidia) have probably become too big to regulate.

"Firstly, the app always defaults to the For You feed."

This is, presumably, what Facebook wants to show you, now on Mastodon. Is that correct? That seems to have negative value for Mastodon users.
Swift for C++ Practitioners: Intro and Value Types
I think the crew counts people and then checks lavatory as part of the procedure. I have an old gizmo that is like a pocket watch but serves to count (clicker) things. I have seen many airlines doing this procedure..
To my knowledge Bak has not been involved in V8 for many years, but also from my direct experience the overwhelming majority of JS executed is dominated by latency rather than through put (which is Kling’s point)

The original v8 was a significant change in that it showed that it is possible to optimize - to machine code - js in a way that offers sufficient perf to make it an enabler of more complex code.

however that came at a significant increase in real world page load performance. Dealing with that latency regression was a significant challenge when originally introducing a JIT to JSC.

Even today it is amazing how little emphasis is seemingly placed on interpreter performance by chrome and Firefox, as it dominates page load performance and latency for almost all real world pages. (I’m actually somewhat curious what % of js source seen by engines ever actually reaches a point where gains from native codegen cover the runtime cost of said codegen)
It's not. Kids overhear what parents watch, their ears are like little recorders. Meanwhile, kids videos near-universally end with either a like&subscribe admonition, or some crap like "ask parents to download our tablet app". Even the quality videos, they all do that.

Even if you don't show children videos, but want to play some music, YouTube is still the least-hassle, least-bullshit music stream player (arguably still it's main use for adults, too). Ain't anyone got time to deal with Spotify's ever more broken app. And this is the limit of technical skill of almost all parents. They can't exactly run SponsorBlock in YouTube's mobile app (and paid YouTube doesn't help here either, surprise surprise).

Not making excuses (though I'm not really blaming parents for this) - just saying how things actually are.

Adding clicks is not ideal, many people already have some troubles with double clicks (because they can't be fast enough, or it hurts), triple click is already harder.

Also more than 3 clicks starts taking a considerable about of time.

Finish it, then 6 months later you release.

Astral have said they eventually want uv to replace rye, but are going to build off of what rye has already done. Rye is currently using uv under the hood for the venv basics and the dependency resolver.

Rye is kind of being used as the test bed for what uv will eventually be.

A death sentence is reasonable in a lot of cases. Nothing archaic about it.
The raspberry pi is still a great and easy way to control GPIO lines. IMO that's it's strength, it was never a particularly capable desktop computer or server for any kind of load. The raspberry pi was underpowered compared to a "real computer" when it came out and that's still fine for many applications.
> To publish them so that can use them without asking you for one in person

without asking you for it, but not without asking you what to use it for.
I wish someone loved me so I would not be excited about this.

I also do hope that this can lead people away from (instead of deeper into) (financially) parasitic, parasocial relationships/one-sided dependencies, which seem to be common when purely profit oriented companies or humans become involved.

Free and open source seems to be the way of healthy love here.
No I want to see how the project and it's problems are overcomed. Like how to get needed concrete, how to manage infrastructure, how to build the whole, what to do inside to make it a City.

There might be line cities. But none of them is a concept like this, or are they in a desert and are 170km long and 500m high? So you absolutely miss my points.

We're now. We know more. We have more experience (like "line cities are problematic" but where exactly?)

It's not about traditional city vs line city. And here too, your dislike is stronger then your thinking of opportunities. You don't like dictator there? Ok. I wrote it down.

Not necessarily you have to travel longer, it's ineffective and all the points you say. We (and they too) still don't know how, and where. Having a circular automated highspeed transport in the ground, it's possible. "What work where" will also be regulated, the plumber won't live in the end of the line city and also won't be the only one.

Just think of "silo" (series). I don't see the impossibilities here, like many of you do. I see opportunities.
Sure, and most of it starts with a jingle and ends up with begging block.

I used to cut all those things to shape with youtube-dl and Audacity; we have a library of a good hundred+ of sanitized songs to play, but with modern world hating files and anything offline, it turned out to be quite a hassle to keep the practice up.
Did you know that your boarding pass is a life insurance?

Back in the 90s in Argentina, nobody checked id for national flights. Was common to give ticket to a colleague were missing a meeting (this particular route was almost like a bus)

Then a plane crashed at takeoff and everyone died. Some people got lucky because they gave the ticket to a colleague.

Turns the family of said colleagues could not get a death certificate, recover bodies or get insurance as they “officially” weren’t on the plane nor insured.
Only in the US, just as the NZ$ is implied in NZ, AUD in Oz etc

Certainly when the local media here reports on how much Donald Trump has to pay they convert from US$ to NZ$
It fills a similar niche as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SquashFS but has different data compression characteristics.

However, since it's a FUSE only file system, it's difficult to see how it would be used on embedded system firmware, so it could perhaps see use as a distribution mechanism. Similar to tar or zip files, but possibly with (much) better performance for random access, should you need only smaller portion of the whole archive.

The author indicates need for keeping multiple similar copies of sets of unchanging files on their computer, and made this to reduce the space needed for them, while retaining the access through the file system. So that is also a use case.
It is worth in the rest of the world. And besides, I've been there and it's not 2x. Everyone has their ID ready and it just takes a glance to check.
Not an answer to this particular case, but Steam Link can work as a free replacement for when you need performance. I use VNC for the more robust situations.
I suspect project insight from Israel (lavender?) will be deployed in the US in the coming years and then the rest of the world shortly after that.

Unless the ticket was bought by a stolen identity and then the boarding pass handed over to a person on a terrorist watchlist who boards with his genuine, mismatching ID

That could be another 9-11. Worth the trade off ?
I disagree with your second statement. I think they're studied because they are simple working legal systems which are easier to reason about than modern ones.

Arguably these legal systems are the conceptual basis for our modern law system because they are used pedagogically in this way.

It's not surprising to me. Alexa was entirely botched IMO.

For example, I would ask Alexa "can my dog eat <X>". In the beginning it was not clear to me this was a third party skill. Then one day Alexa would respond with something like "nay, Dr. Wolf says ..." (I don't quite remember). I was surprised because who speaks like that? I then realized it was an Alexa Skill made by a third party developer. The developer later attempted to monetized this skill so you could only ask the question 3 times and after that it would bill you.

Alexa has a lot of other issues. Every room in the house has an Alexa Echo Show. But the screen real estate is entirely wasted with useless stuff. Very limited customization.

I'm in process of replacing my home automation with Lutron products. And the Alexa will soon be gone from my home. It seems like everything Amazon does is half-baked, but enough to get out the door. There is no polish at that company.

I don't want a GPT spoken interface to give me the top 20 events: I want it to give me 1-2 events that I am most likely to enjoy.

This is fundamentally impossible for a computer though, because even if a computer has perfect historical information about you it can't know some random things that would change your mind in the moment. For example, if you've been to every gig a band has done for years, but at the last one your girlfriend dumped you, a recommendation engine is still going to suggest that band's gigs even though it's unlikely you want to be reminded about them. To most users that immediately looks like a bad recommendation. If the system is only suggesting 1 thing then the whole system looks broken.

The only way around that is to increase the number of recommendations. Hence every system giving out 10+ options - because the people who make it want it to be slightly better than useless.
FWIW bad actors have been doing the same thing for ages with passwords, passcodes, key combinations, physical keys, etc.
There doesn't seem to be a thread, just that one tweet. There's reasons that the companies they're coming from have built JIT for Javascript, so I assume the angle here is just to avoid unnecessary complexity until it becomes absolutely necessary. Which is pretty much solid advice regardless of what you're building. In this case, though, they're saying to make the interpreter shine, until a lack of a JIT becomes a problem.
OK, right, yeah, they might have some word-break config that would need touching up. Thanks.
