"text": "After having cycled through various CLI-based todo apps, I started to realise that I actually don’t need a tool at all for managing my todos. Most of the time, my use cases are quite simple, like viewing my todo items, checking them off, or adding a new one.<p>Rather than having to memorise CLI commands for these interactions (which I’m not super good at), I figured that it’s easier for me to use my text editor directly, and have an editor plugin help me with the visual structure and some convenience functionality. So, kind-of similar to Emacs Org Mode, but without having to use Emacs. I personally use Sublime Text, and even though I enjoy it a lot, I don’t like being bound to specific tools.<p>I think the best basis for staying independent is to have a data format that’s properly specified and meaningful on its own. This puts the data first, and it allows the tools to be built on top and shared (or interchanged) more easily.<p>This is what [x]it! is about, which is a plain-text file format for todos and check lists. I’m curious for thoughts and feedback. There is obviously not much tooling support (yet), but feel free to create something if the idea resonates with you.<p>Website with demo: <a href=\"https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xit.jotaen.net\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xit.jotaen.net</a><p>File specification: <a href=\"https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jotaen&#x2F;xit&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;Specification.md\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jotaen&#x2F;xit&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;Specification.md</a>",

"text": "Hey all<p>My name is Sindre, and I am the CTO of Scrimba (YC S20). For the last 7 years, I have written all my web apps in a full-stack programming language called Imba. It compiles to JavaScript and its main goal is to make web developers more productive.<p>I just launched a major overhaul of Imba, so I wanted to share it here on HN, in case anyone are interested in learning more about it. It is very opinionated, so some of you might not like it, but I would love to hear anyones feedback regardless. Constructive criticism appreciated!<p>The backstory:<p>Imba initially started in 2012 as an effort to bring the elegance and conciseness of Ruby into the browser, and also because I felt that JavaScript and the DOM should be more tightly coupled together. Over the years, I have taken inspiration from React&#x2F;JSX, and also Tailwind.<p>Since 2013, I have built several business-critical apps in Imba, so this is not a toy project or an academic exercise, it is extracted from a real project trying to solve real problems. Today, we are currently a small but passionate community of devs who use Imba all over the world.<p>The nitty-gritty details:<p>As mentioned, Imba compiles to JavaScript, and it works on both the frontend and backend. The quickest way to get a feeling of how it works is by checking out this video: <a href=\"https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8XS5q9xhaMc\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8XS5q9xhaMc</a><p>Alternatively, here is a list of the main benefits of the language:<p>* Clean syntax with built-in tags and inline styles<p>* Imba&#x27;s Memoized DOM approach is *an order of magnitude* faster than Virtual DOMs (Vue, React). Learn more here: <a href=\"https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freecodecamp.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;the-virtual-dom-is-slow-meet-the-memoized-dom-bb19f546cc52&#x2F;\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freecodecamp.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;the-virtual-dom-is-slow-me...</a><p>* Imba works with Node and the npm ecosystem, and integrates tightly with both JS and TypeScript<p>* Blazing-fast dev&#x2F;build tools based on esbuild<p>Each of the benefits above are explained more thoroughly in our docs here, so please check it out if any of the above points spark your interest: <a href=\"https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imba.io\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imba.io</a><p>With this version I feel that I am very close to my vision for what Imba should be. In other words; it is finally ready for public consumption. I&#x27;d wholeheartedly advice you to look into it and give it a whirl if you are interested in web development :)<p>Hope you like it, and please share any feedback you might have in the comments!<p>PS! We&#x27;re also hiring Imba developers at Scrimba - see <a href=\"https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.scrimba.com&#x2F;\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.scrimba.com&#x2F;</a>. We don&#x27;t expect you to be a seasoned Imba developer, but we expect you to pick it up fast :)",

"text": "Hey HN,<p>I&#x27;ll probably get a lot of flak for this. Sorry.<p>I&#x27;m an average developer looking for ways to work as little as humanely possible.<p>The pandemic made me realize that I do not care about working anymore. The software I build is useless. Time flies real fast and I have to focus on my passions (which are not monetizable).<p>Unfortunately, I require shelter, calories and hobby materials. Thus the need for some kind of job.<p>Which leads me to ask my fellow tech workers, what kind of job (if any) do you think would fit the following requirements :<p>- No &#x2F; very little involvement in the product itself (I do not care.)<p>- Fully remote (You can&#x27;t do much when stuck in the office. Ideally being done in 2 hours in the morning then chilling would be perfect.)<p>- Low expectactions &#x2F; vague job description.<p>- Salary can be on the lower side.<p>- No career advancement possibilities required. Only tech, I do not want to manage people.<p>- Can be about helping other developers, setting up infrastructure&#x2F;deploy or pure data management since this is fun.<p>I think the only possible jobs would be some kind of backend-only dev or devops&#x2F;sysadmin work. But I&#x27;m not sure these exist anymore, it seems like you always end up having to think about the product itself. Web dev jobs always required some involvement in the frontend.<p>Thanks for any advice (or hate, which I can&#x27;t really blame you for).",

Even methods which incorporate random variations don&#x27;t hide these artifacts sufficiently well. In my opinion, the only way to generate synthetic handwriting which is convincingly real is to use statistical methods (i.e. machine learning) to model all variation which is present in real handwriting.

At Mitchell, I developed programs in Fortran II on an IBM 1620 mostly to improve the efficiency of order processing and fulfillment. Since then, all my jobs for the past 57 years have involved computer programming. I am now a data scientist developing cloud-based big data fraud detection algorithms using machine learning and other advanced analytical technologies. Along the way, I earned a Master’s in Operations Research and a Master’s in Management Science, studied artificial intelligence for 3 years in a Ph.D. program for engineering, and just two years ago I received Graduate Certificates in Big Data Analytics from the schools of business and computer science at a local university (FAU). In addition, I currently hold the designation of Certified Analytics Professional (CAP). At 74, I still have no plans to retire or to stop programming.",

Really, what is art <i>for</i> but to enliven the doldrums of the rich?<p>A moment or three of aesthetic pleasure, bragging at parties, but really most days it&#x27;s just so much wallpaper. No, the true purpose of art is to be stolen. Then the chase begins, the drama, the mystery, the appreciation of the craft of skullduggery.<p>Eventually you track down the blighter who nabbed the splotchy-whatsit, buy him a beer and throw him back in the clink. That&#x27;s where he&#x27;ll meet his next crew, plan the next heist, and start the whole glorious affair over again.<p>So cheers to the cheeky beggars who grabbed the Gogh, let the fun begin!",

"text": "I always though how silly it was for teachers to pretend they got the correct answer in a text analysis of a century old author. Apparently it&#x27;s even true for authors that are still alive.<p>Some things seemed so far fetched, so random, so made up. And yet it was supposed to be _the_ right answer. When I offered another one, even knowing the official one but disagreeing, I was graded as failing.<p>Hell, I&#x27;m pretty certain most writers just wrote something, and never though about it more. Not all of them are pondering, rewriting every line. And even the ones that do don&#x27;t necessarily do it for the result the teacher expects.<p>And as a kid, you certainly can&#x27;t say a classic author is not interesting. You can&#x27;t say the text is boring, that you don&#x27;t see talent in it, that you didn&#x27;t learn anything from it. It has been validated by society, hence it&#x27;s good. Now you have to say why you think it is, even if you don&#x27;t. Actually you have to say what you know what the status quo is, which means repeating something you read elsewhere instead of forming a opinion from that and what you think. The opposite of what&#x27;s school is supposed to teach.<p>We wonder why fake news and bullshit work ? It&#x27;s because we teach kids to repeat popular opinions and make up things because they look good. We teach them that not only there is a price to pay for not doing that, but that we are ok with being the ones making them pay it.<p>People that felt like that usually went the science road. It&#x27;s not a bad thing, but it&#x27;s a positive feedback loop. It means fields in desperate needs of honesty and pragmatism are only welcoming bullshiters and conformists.",

Aside from the plethora (never used that word before!) of videos on YouTube and courses on sites like EdX, you can pick up the theory books from Gloria St. Germain, grab a pencil, and go through them :) I use them in my classes with several students with good success, and my wife has been using them for years and years and years to teach theory as well. Those books will actually get you up to the level of being able to challenge (and pass) the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) theory exams if you want to go that far.",

You should regularly destroy your own servers and recreate them using your configuration &#x2F; deployment scripts if the prospect of this happening worries you. Do it before your business starts to rely on it.<p>For database servers you need to have procedures in place to quickly switch the production application over to a database you just spun up and migrated the data from a recent backup to in order to test your data backups. You want this to happen as smoothly as possible in the case of a failure. Keep data backups in three different places and test your procedure on all of them.<p>On a production system, do not keep the database on the same server as the application.",
