AN interesting and non rigorous way to think of it is can the compiler optimize away the non compute-able part. So this:

if (God does exist)
return isPrime(3)

else
return isPrime(5)

The compiler can take this and in the first pass say, isPrime(3) is just return true, isPrime(5) is return true. Then we have an an if else with the same return for both cases, this is the same as return true!
I hope they make this data public, I'd be interested in taking a look around and seeing what the thermals are like around me
Show HN: An iOS App that can develop and run Love2D games
Hello everyone, I am an indie iOS+macOS developer. I have made some iOS apps about coding in Lua programming language on your mobile devices.
The first one is LuaLu(https://www.iamadman.com/products/lualu/), I started this project over ten years ago and last year I made a big update on it with a full-featured terminal and a powerful code editor, and also add many useful Lua modules such as socket, sqlite and json. With these features, you can write many useful programs in Lua. But there's a downside, it does not support graphic and UI programming.
And then I made other two apps: Love2DGameMaker(https://www.iamadman.com/products/love2d-gamemaker/) and Solar2D Studio(https://www.iamadman.com/products/solar2d-studio/)
These two apps are based on the first one. They shared the code editor and terminal features, the difference is:
1. LuaLu contains a Lua interpreter
2. Love2D Game Maker integrates the Love2D game framework, it can run many games developed using love2d, the most popular game recently - Balatro, some smart guys has run Balatro on their iPhone/iPad, see https://reddit.com/r/iosgaming/comments/1bnf0zy/tutorial_run...
3. Solar2d Studio, similar to Love2D Game Maker but for Solar2D (ex Corona SDK), it can run Solar2D projects

Eh. For me, it was vastly worth it. Yes there are drawbacks to react. But I feel like the gains far far far outweigh them.
> The terminal just happens to invisibly turn \n into \r\n.

No, it was actually done by the Unixen itself, in the part of the kernel that handled ttys: it convert '\n' to '\r\n' on writes to ttys, and '\r' to '\n' on reads from ttys. Linux only recently have moved this functionality out into the user-land layer.

It probably should be that simple. Unfortunately, Canada is a surprisingly broken place in many ways.

We have to remember that policing in Canada is heavily unionized, on top of being taxpayer-funded. That means quality of service is just not a concern at all most of the time. There are no repercussions for the police doing a bad job.

There is perhaps even some incentive to let there be some crime: this lets the police call for an even bigger budget the next year. In general, less-serious crimes are basically ignored in many cases, and even serious crimes don't get much attention.

The situation is complicated by the fact that many involved with auto thefts, especially in and around Toronto and other major cities, are foreigners/immigrants/"minorities". There's a tendency for activists and the media to cry "racism" or "police brutality" whenever such people are subjected to any sort of policing, no matter how reasonable and necessary this may be, and no matter how irrelevant race is to the situation. Politicians and the police end up backing off, presumably because they don't want to deal with the faux outrage that might arise if they actually did go after such criminals in any meaningful way.

Criminals with foreign citizenship also often have the ability to flee Canada, which can make arrests very difficult, if not impossible.

It can vary by region, but the criminal courts are often backlogged, too. Even if an arrest is made, and an investigation is performed, and prosecution is deemed feasible, it's not that unusual for cases involving serious crimes to be thrown out due to it simply taking too long to process them.

In the relatively rare situation where a case is actually heard and a conviction is obtained, it isn't uncommon for judges to be extraordinarily lenient when sentencing. This is especially true if so-called "indigenous" or "minorities" are involved.

On top of all of that, it doesn't help that self-defense is perhaps one of the most criminalized activities in Canada. Canadians aren't permitted to arm themselves in any meaningful way, and we aren't permitted to defend ourselves against criminals except under very limited circumstances. If you happen to see your property being damaged or stolen, for example, the only practical option is to sit back and watch the crime happen. Any sort of direct intervention, no matter how reasonable, will likely be worse for you than for the criminal(s).

There are probably other factors that I missed. Something that should be quite simple ends up being tremendously complicated.
Why does it matter that somebody benefits more if everybody benefits?

Btw 1 foreign worker rarely equals to 1 local. Even just the quality of their work isn’t equal usually and averagely, and language, culture, distance, etc differences are on top of that. Interestingly, who moved to Western countries usually works better than those who stayed, even with the same background.

There's a secondary result from this strategy: If you only listen when people scream bloody murder, you train everyone to freak out over every little thing because it's the only way they have any evidence that their views are being taken into account.

This was pretty common everywhere in 2020. I remember hiking in the cascade mountains of Washington State on a sunny, breezy summer day and the few other hikers I came across on the trail avoided me by 20+ft.

Show HN: I built a lightweight SEO checker to fix frustrating issues in minutes
Hey HN,

A few weeks ago I realized how much time I actually spend on researching SEO issues. That was a light-bulb moment.

That's why I developed Seototal a tool to analyze webpages and find solutions in 30 seconds.

It outputs straight forward reports with links to documentation on solutions.

This is something the size of Let's Encrypt, Fastmail, or 37signals. Build the org, build the culture [1] [2], arrive at steady state, defend the culture and the org for longevity. Have makers (not sellers shoveling drop ship garbage, makers) be shareholders. Governance and aligned incentives.

The market is proven, and to chase valuation traps in volatile fits and starts does a disservice to all stakeholders.

There is no requirement for insurance companies to write policies or to sell them at reasonable rates. Try selling an uninsurable car, it’s really hard.

Or you require dealers to make a disclosure at the time of sale to the effect that the car does not meet modern security standards.

Incentives work both ways. Most new cars have the computer hardware to solve this problem with a firmware update.
That's storage for a few hours to smooth the volatility intraday. Nothing like the sort of storage capacity you would need if you don't have an alternative source of energy when there is no wind for a week.
Show don't tell!

Somehow I doubt that Etsy is prepared for the massive reduction in revenues (and hence stock price) that this entails, and if they are then their shareholders aren't. But words are cheap.
Nah it was definitely worth picking Python for the quadruple rhyme.
I read this as a joke. (Which I thought was funny precisely because so many people do lack this kind of basic civility—but I'm pretty sure not the author?)
On a first read, I agree with you, but if I was in that department I’d love that we still have a model T and that we get to drive it around, especially compared to the other work they must do
Is there a legal definition? I thought it was a free market and companies will do whatever they deem necessary to "bring value to their shareholders".

For example, they used to pay dividends instead of growing indefinitely. Remember that?
Thanks for suggestion, I will look into it.

Yeah I too get the same vibe but I think domains auction in general is underserved market so I was thinking of creating a auctioning website with lower fees and commission, better customer service.

But it seems like serving that market I might be supporting greedy domain squatter like them than people with genuine interest in auctioning.
I love just the ideas in the Erlang system. I've tried to break into it a few times, including once or twice with Gleam, and kept getting blocked by terminology I didn't know and couldn't look up, or instructions that didn't have the intended effect. I became convinced I needed a guide who already knows the system.

That was a few years ago, and looking back I must have been wrong -- but I tried pretty hard. (I successfully learned my way around Haskell and NixOS, which are at least roughly as esoteric, but I thought much better documented. And NicOS isn't even that well documented )
As part of this policy shift, Etsy has also significantly struck down their adult content policies, including banning most sex toys, something that is an artisan craft and handmade in many cases (silicone casts are impressive!).

https://www.etsy.com/legal/policy/adult-nudity-and-sexual-co...

I know many creators and makers and artisans that are basically going to go out of business because Etsy's pulling the platform out from underneath them.

It seems like you envision paying Americans to eat less meat?

In the grand scheme of things, Americans are very expensive people. For example, Argentinians both eat a lot of meat, and are currently in dire need for some hard currency.

I don't know if there's an app for this. However, you could do the next best thing and find a charity that works on promoting eating-less-meat in Argentina.

(Argentina is just an example, I have no clue whether it's the best value for money for this very specific. I'm just fairly sure that they are better value for money than spending money in the US.)

https://blog.givewell.org/2010/12/27/animal-welfare-charitie... might be an interesting read.
I could've said that better, what I really meant is that UI is (a) downstream of state, and (b) has a different structure than state. The UI is a tree but state is basically a graph, and it doesn't make sense to couple the two. This is the same position that SolidJS takes, for instance.

To respond to your last statement though, I feel the opposite is true. UI's don't exist for their own sake, they only exist to support the application and its behavior.
What, exactly, do you get out of doing something like that? As an intellectual exercise I understand probing to see what exactly is accessible on a “blocked” connection, but intentionally wasting bandwidth seems the virtual equivalent of leaving the taps running in a public restroom to waste water, or perhaps clogging the toilet and overflowing it.
If you can size the EFI partition yourself, or it's already big enough (e.g. you didn't install Windows first), then yes this makes more sense.
You're missing the point. This has nothing to do with politics. I'm demonstrating how economic incentives could be used to change the outcome.

And car companies DO get fined. Kia was fined (lawsuit) $200MM in USA for not using modern standard anti-theft tech in order to save money.

Insurance companies DO give you a discount if you use the chubb or install other anti theft devices.

Economic incentives work!
Thanks, I may have just misread that. I have the same argument though. For our cattle we give very little feed, depending on the time of year their diet will only have 5-10% supplemental feed, and that's just enough to keep them trained to come when called.

We've kept stock density at a rate that our cattle can eat almost entirely from our pastures and woods. If we absolutely do have to buy hay, we buy it from a local guy who has a field he doesn't spray or irrigate. Its effectively a field behind his house that he otherwise doesn't use for hay, most people around here want sprayed and fertilized fields that are monocropped fescue or bahia.

We aren't doing everything right by any means, but cows absolutely can be raised without causing so many of the problems that industrial lots cause. Its too easy to see those problems and demonize everything about raising cattle.
It's a nice visualization system when you have a lot of very long one-dimensional things with nonlinear relationships. This is super common in genomics but in principle could be applied many places.

That said, circos plots are sort of cliche in genomics and I do see people tending to move away from them.

It suffers from an effect of having too many things all together, all at once, layered in ways that sometimes make it difficult to compare. This is especially true when you have data tracks that are circularly laid out around the plot.
Given the tone of this and other articles on the site I'd be inclined to suggest that _this was a joke_.
I made a backend with Twilio and an AWS instance to give me a SMS<->ChatGPT interface.

That allows me to ask ChatGPT questions from anywhere on Earth via a handheld satellite communicator (inReach Mini 2). It's kind of nice to be able to ask ChatGPT things from the middle of death valley.
People who compare Southwest to Frontier and Spirit are not serious people. Southwest is a premium offering, if folks want to ride cattle car a la carte, I encourage them to, just don't ruin the established brand of SWA. I would rather fly dead on Southwest than alive on another domestic carrier.
Except there's 2,500 people on that ship and the satellite bandwidth is 15mbps. Now making it free doesnt work because the resources aren't there.

If you want free wifi, that's great but the private sector isn't going to do it for you. How many of these public nuisance hackers are advocating for large socialized programs to make wifi a human right on all manner of transport? Usually the hacker demographic is right-wing libertarian and would never advocate for socialism.

So you dont want socialism but you want socialized services? Curious.

If this person's story ended with "Then I started a website to advocate for regulations and pricing for better transport wifi," then that would be great! Instead he just drowned out the internet connection of paying customers who are now making angry calls at some poor tech support person making minimum wage in a poor country. He did nothing but hurt people out of his own immaturity and cheapness.

I would never want to write it the same element in multiple places like this.

That's one of the main points of templating in the first place: to write the code for a piece of output once, with all of the bindings that can affect it.

There was a story recently on Science Friday about journals beginning to publish results of experiments that did not prove the hypothesis: https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/journal-of-trial-erro...

They make a good point: By focusing only on positive results in publication, there is little common knowledge of pathways that don’t succeed. Back when I was doing grad studies in math, I remember thinking that this could be a useful thing in that field as well: compiling plausible pathways towards proving theorems that end up to be dead ends. I almost feel like something like this could in its own way spark new discoveries in mathematics.
Technically, yes.

But when the legal system is working well, this kind of indefinite-prisoners-in-limbo crap does not happen.

Your response was a single sentence, pointing out something which I obviously knew. That information was totally irrelevant to what I said, but you thought you had discovered something which I didn't know about. You also obviously didn't understand what I said, else you wouldn't have posted a single statement with no new information. Obviously this was a gotcha. You made no attempt to even try to understand me or post anything interesting or relevant, instead you took a cheap shot at a misreading of my post.

If this is what "high quality discussion" is to you, what does mid level discussion look to you? Just a slur as a response?

>Mesopotamians needed complex mathematics for taxes long before even Mycenian Greeks came into picture. You are talking about classical Greeks. Naturally there were advancements in mathematics during the Greek period, but that does not undermine the achievements of Mesopotamians.

I am stunned by your knowledge. You really know that? That is breathtaking information. Genuinely thank you for posting this novel information that I was totally unaware of. Bringing that to my attention was extremely relevant and has radically changed my position.

Seriously fuck off, you still haven't even bothered to read my OP.
Toad by Quest Software was the original SQL GUI development tool, and developed the basic style that most of these apps use today. I have senior developers who refuse to consider anything else, and cling to unsupported versions of Toad.

Oracle SQL Developer does not support SQLite, but the design is their "internal Toad-killer," and reimplements Toad in Java. It does accept JDBC drivers for 3rd-party databases (but not SQLite so far).

I think it depends on what you are doing... I think there are huge opportunities for interop performance as well as just optimized process paths for certain things. I'm not that deep on the technical side, more of an avid observer. It just seems that as long as many things in WASM are slower than general performance for say Java or C#, that there is definitely room to improve things.

As an example, looking at the in-the-box Garbage Collection support that's being flushed out, as an example will improve languages that rely on GC (C#, Java, Go, etc) without having to include an implementation for the runtime.

Another point where there's potential for massive gains are the browser UI interop as well, and I think there's been a lot of effort to work within/around current limitations, but obviously there's room to improve.
I have to imagine this comes down to how they provide the Internet connection. Over land they can use cell towers. Over sea they're forced to use satellites.
