do what I do. every time grammarly interrupts my YouTube viewing, I say out loud clearly to myself "fuck off grammarly", and then I use YouTube-download to get the video without the ads.

every time Facebook shows me an advert for solar panels, I close Facebook (I only go for the pictures and stories of cats getting in awkward situations).

Hi Locutus_

I'm one of those people with "analysis paralysis" towards the E-Ink ecosystem. Remarkable Paper Pro came out while I was researching, and made me aware of the set of dichotomies around the notion of minimalism vs full blow Android, black & white only tablets vs Galery-3 vs Kaliedo, front lights vs having a screen closer to the surface without front lights...

It's difficult to enter the e-paper market.

For me, I'm a science student currently struggling through classes like Integral Calculus, Linear Angebra, etc... So I'm usually writing math equations.

My first question is how does Remarkable handle math writing? I'm guessing there is nothing to read things like a handwritten Sumation, or Integral, and then convert to Tex ?

Is black and White really the best kind of e-ink, or is that the prejudice or bias of those old time e-ink users who have been using the tech a while now? What about screen size, is the 10.3 really that great (smaller that A4 paper)?

Is Remarkable's "minimalism" claims actually legitimate, or more of a coping mechanism to explain away their apparent lack of features?
As people have pointed already elsewhere, the same declaration can be made more clear by isolating the type like so:

var gpa: std.mem.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}) = .{};
If deep sea divers need to come back to the surface slowly so their bodies can reacclimate to standard pressure, do astronauts undergo a similar reacclimation process as it pertains to gravity?

Trump is not the only/real alternative to liberalism even if he was the option that was given. That's why abstention won: no one wants the liberals, but no one sees Trump as different enough from them for him to earn their support.
Nothing needs to be done. It is amazing already ...

It's very likely that Stripe initially pitched very cutting-edge, ambitious ideas to VCs. So, comparing seemingly "boring" mature company to new startups may be misleading.

> They should write an OS that is "so good" that people start talking about it as much as the options we have now, then people actually start using it

Is the proposal here to replicate the 30 million lines of code of Linux? Anything short of that is going to have massive adoption problems, much like Linux did in the past, much like FreeBSD/Illumos/etc do now, due to the lack of drivers. It took so long, and devices still don't properly support Linux; there is no way another free and open source system will take off like Linux did, ever again.

> failed to do so in some other domains like user-space window managers

Do things like Way Cooler and COSMIC not count?

I have seen Way Cooler mentioned as being used a couple times, and COSMIC gets regular coverage for its development progress.

"The issue is that fraudsters would like nothing more than to call themselves R&D and to sell BS to desperate people looking for a cure."

So?

Because there's ilegitimate companies you should outlaw legitimate companies?

Should we ban banks and stock brokers because ponzi schemes exist? What makes you think there would be less ilegitimate companies, it's possible even that there would be more ilegitimate companies.

"Heck, even imagine what happens if legitimate for profit companies can use this route for revenue generation. If they have a route to sell drugs which has less regulation and liability, why would they ever release a drug through the full FDA process? And why, you might ask, is regulation needed for this sort of stuff?Without getting it fully approved or researched drug manufacturers have no reason to actually look into downstream effects. They have every incentive to just keep it on the market (like they did with Vioxx) and ignore evidence of adverse results."

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I do know that the subject of the article and what you are talking about are 2 distinct domains. One thing is developing a drug or treatment for a common disease. And another is treating a specific patient. Right? Two very distinct services/products with very different regulations. I do know at least from the import regulations my country has laxer requirements for infrequent diseases. Of course a treatment for diabetes can support stricter regulations than for Cancer of the Biliary Duct.

Additionally what I suggested wasn't even treatment, I proposed just Research & Development, this is already possible through donations.
Apparently everyone is wrong on Internet.

It's a different school of thought for sure. We find traditional therapy to be very synergistic with it. Sometimes one can cognitively know how to fix something, but despite that it still sticks in the body. Ayahuasca can help to "percolate" that knowing into the body/nervous system for great results.
What kind of hardware do you need to run this?
I'm focused on C because a lot of our critical infrastructure is written in C. The Linux / BSD kernels, firmware, etc. It's also where my interest is. Model checked C is a good enough balance of cognitive load, safety, and time to market for my purposes. Others may disagree.

Tooling exists in C++. That shouldn't be too surprising given that the C++ abstract machine model is not much more complex than C and has similar complexities as Rust. The same techniques work there as well. If someone wants to tap that audience by translating this process to C++, they are welcome to do so.
I responded to this in other posts, but this would be throwing the baby with the bath water. And it's especially bad as the good suffers more. Legitimate companies will follow the law, but the ilegitimate actors will just sell mystical crystal anyways.
What does this marketing even mean? What makes it a "safe space"? Is it anonymous? Is it private? Does anyone get to actually hear the podcast? How are you "safe" if you air your unedited thoughts? Long on promise, short on information. Pass.

Great web site. I really appreciated the interactions with the objects on the desktop.
In 2001 an S200 missile fired at a drone during a military exercise missed the drone, saw an airliner 160 miles further away and went and took that out. Not sure if that counts?

No one actually told it to go for the airliner but it kind of took the initiative. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberia_Airlines_Flight_1812)

> The first implementation of the standard, based on the late-1968 draft Report, was introduced by the Royal Radar Establishment in the UK as ALGOL 68-R in July 1970. This was, however, a subset of the full language, and Barry Mailloux, the final editor of the Report, joked that "It is a question of morality. We have a Bible and you are sinning!"[31] This version nevertheless became very popular on the ICL machines, and became a widely-used language in military coding, especially in the UK

How is this a helpful comment? It is just an insult. If you don't believe the article, state why, give evidence. Cheap cynicism helps nobody and doens't make you look smart or superior.
I don't think a recursion should be involved in the parser. Shift-reduce may be an answer but it does not fix the problem either if you try to implement that. I would like to see real code rather than written homework pieces.
Why Is the Tesla Cybertruck So Depressingly Ugly?
Every vaccine (happy to get counter evidence) has negative side-effects, every injection is a risk. When you're injection multiple millions of your population on the off-chance it might help then you're going to get some very sick, or dead people.

At 200€ a time (plus administration costs, plus lost work hours of those you're injecting), for millions of people that's also a lot of wasted funds that could be put into medicines that are known to be effective for the people they're treating.

Why, for medicines that are highly available, that a doctor considers to be low risk, a sane adult can't just elect to pay for and take a medicine, that I am not sure of.
It's been studied in the past (NERVA, et al.), and does seem to offer a specific-impulse advantage in the extremely high temperatures achievable by routing propellant through the reactor core. (So-called "closed-cycle" systems heat reaction mass outside a fairly conventional primary coolant loop; "open-cycle" doesn't have a coolant loop, but rather ejects hot coolant directly as reaction mass. There was also a nuclear-powered cruise missile design, I think called "Project Pluto," on this theme, although not directly related and so far as I know only studied in theory.)

It does of course still require reaction mass, but theoretical efficiency seems higher than other feasible systems; it wasn't really explored much in the old days due to the general post-Apollo builddown, and also due to the concerns of radioactive debris in case of mishap and radioactive exhaust if the system were used as a launch motor. (If not used to launch, it would need some orbital assembly and a lot of heavy lift, given not least the massive shielding required for remotely survivable crewed use.)

Another fission-based propulsion system, not relying on a steady-state reaction, was also studied under the name "Project Orion." I'll leave that one as a diversion for the interested reader, mainly because it seems unlikely anyone not already familiar would believe a word of any description I could give.
There was a good point made, that has stuck with me over the years. that our syntax highlighters are highlighting the wrong thing.

They should not be coloring the grammar, we are good at picking out grammar, they should be highlighting the symbols. each different variable and function name should be getting it's own color. that is, the goal is to make it quicker to distinguish different symbols, not that they are a symbol.

But this is much harder than stylizing the grammar so all our tooling sticks with the easy thing rather that the useful thing. Now, I am being a bit mean on grammar styling. It does help quite a bit but I would like to see a symbol matching engine in action to see if that really works.

Unfortunately I don't remember where I read the original post and am unable to attribute it correctly.

update: while trying to look it up I found this https://www.wilfred.me.uk/blog/2014/09/27/the-definitive-gui...
Yeah, at the moment it's passing about 12% of tests, but there is a lot of low hanging fruits to implement, especially considering I started the project two weeks ago. This doesn't mean I will hit 100% in linear time, unfortunately, cause there is a long tail of builtin types and functions, but as I started by implementing the "hard parts" I left some easy parts not done. For example I implemented only enough syntax to allow running conditionals and a while loop cause it was needed for the test262 harness, but I left all the other loops (for, for in, for of, do while) and conditional expressions (switch) unimplemented. Implementing them will be more or less analogous to existing implementations for if/else and while.

Once I finish implementing `await` and generators, which are the last hard to implement semantic concepts, I will be implementing those low hanging fruits. It's hard to say how much coverage that will give me, but just to give an example: currently 1200 tests fails, cause `object["foo"]` syntax is not implemented. Ie. `object.foo` works, but `object["foo"]` does not. It doesn't mean that those 1200 tests automatically will pass, cause they might be testing other stuff, but there is a lot of such relatively simple syntax ommissions that make hundreds of tests fail.

And yes, I would love to have a nice graph like porffor has! :D
No one talked about a general cure for cancer here. What I meant is a general cure for the specific disease. Specifically, it's easier to cure a patient with Biliary Duct Cancer than to find a cure for Biliary Duct Cancer.

"Cancer isn’t one disease, it’s a catch-all term for a bunch of vaguely related ones"

Also that's a pretty common misconception, cancer is pretty well defined, abnormal cell growth. I agree that there will be no single cure, but it's like a viral infection, or a system intrusion. There may be many causes and cures will be different, but there's no disagreement over what is an isn't a cancer or a viral infection.
Fun website. Still no idea whats going on and why 3.5 is inserted like a SD card though
I only mentioned undefined behavior. Memory safety is a subset of those issues, but rust's actual promise is eliminating all UB in safe code.

In almost all cases for preconditions, that's solvable by better practices that could be identified in a review. It's the same underlying problem as C, but dramatically more manageable.

And of course, any C is liable to be misused in C++ where the committee's current position is that the problem is unsolvable.

Ask HN: I am building SaaS to make launching online stores simple and fast
Hey, I’ve been building Bazaari.io - a platform focused on helping anyone easily create and launch an online store.

The goal is to simplify the process, making it fast and straightforward without the usual technical overhead or steep learning curve that other platforms might require.

The beta is live, the platform is free to use as we gather feedback and improve the experience.

I’d love your feedback on a few things:
- What features would you find essential for a platform like this?
- Are there any pain points in other eCommerce platforms that we should be addressing?
- If you've set up a store before, what parts of the process could have been made easier?
- Are there any advanced features you would want in an online store builder?

Check it out: https://bazaari.io/

I look forward to the feedback :)
Why do we say 'wat' instead of hwæt? Same thing.
I'm really confused, this looks like concern trolling because there's a live demo for exactly this A/B testing, that IIRC was near the top of the article, close enough it was the first link I clicked.

But you're quite persistent in that they need to address this, so it seems much more likely they silently added it after your original post, or you didn't click through, concern trolling would stay more vague
This assumes people’s preferences are optimally aligned to their best interests in a micro and macro sense and that, more or less, classical economics is precisely accurate. None of this is actually true.

There are plenty of things that are important that the “market” doesn’t allocate a ton of money towards and tons of stuff that are really not important but the “market” rewards. The market in the end is a collection of decisions by individuals in aggregation, and decisions by humans are rooted more in their psychology than in some uber rational god mind of optimality. It is very possible to shape behavior, decision making, and capital allocation in ways that are demonstrably pessimal. Indeed with the advent of mass consumption of social media and algorithmic manipulation of psychology you can shape market behavior directly in ways that are detrimental to the participants in the market while rewarding the manipulators. This can be even done as a method of warfare, in which you shape psychology, behavior, and market preferences against a societies best interests.

This is why we have non market systems that prioritize objectively important work that’s inefficient by the market’s perspective. This is essentially the outcome of 248 years of economic research after the wealth of nations.
Nice! I'll definitely take a look!
Thanks for the feedback, I will keep this on the back of my head. This and things like sensitivity analysis are not in our immediate roadmap, but this is the kind of thing that would be fairly easy to add. You can do it right now programmatically, of course.

Is that true? Is there somewhere to read up on that? Why Linux became more popular than FreeBSD especially?
As a sidenote, Peter Reddien's lab did other studies on planaria (videos are on youtube) and found cells that are supposedly dedicated to map the whole body and indicate how differentiation should go in that area (basically one input to the morphogenesis of this animal). It was, after levin's work, another eye openener, as you kinda approach biology as an information problem... everything happening has a piece of data that explains it, we just didn't look everywhere.

Maybe this is my cynicism, but I think the USA is not that different from Russia. The few people who have agency are just better at psychology. They are great at making the masses believe that the utopian ideals handed down from up high are their own ideals.
