Awesome!
A pseudo code of the algorithm would make it easier for someone to understand it better I guess.

Not at the moment, but working on it

This probably need rewording. This refers to the content on the landing page. Journal entries are locally stored.

why is this tech news?!

Christmas had come early!!

You speak with authority, but with ignorance. MS had a lot of JavaScript and needed to put some semblance to the madness of development. Read early history. Watch some talks of Hejlsberg, they are insightful and makes you a better developer.

Deleting accounts opens for hijacking and impersonation. Best is to just log out and abandon them.

Cool, great if you could slow down the animation so we can understand what each action means.
(It's hard to see this from your side as you've seen this perhaps hundreds of times)

Looks like an inferior subset of XPath which is much cleaner and powerful
Kip9000 | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: Should you buy a house and rent it out?
This is not about buying or renting, it's about an alternative to Spreadsheet for model building. But not much info on the process itself.. can creators expand on this.

This is incredibly interesting! Real time simulation at scale!!

lot of people won't get this :D

I would give anything to see his abilities that marvelled the geniuses of his time. I imagine this would be like when an AGI finally comes to be and creates dozens of fields of science we have no idea of today..
Kip9000 | 7 years ago | on: Deep learning may need a new programming language
There's already Nim (https://nim-lang.org/), which is Python like syntax and statically typed, with easy parallelisations etc already. What's lacking is the adoption as it wasn't hyped up. There's rarely a need to create yet another language and wait till it becomes mature and fixed all the issues with the eco system etc. If at all what's required is a way of translating all the Python libs to Nim or some similar effort.

I'm excited about this.. Feature list seems almost too good to be true. :)

Brexit will only affect the ordinary working class and the poor. The rich who funds this debacle will always have options cope or profit from it.

C++ package manager written in F#. This should be the tagline :P
Kip9000 | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Can we write a programming language for biology?
Microsoft Research Cambridge, has been doing this for a long while.
"It turns out that there are lots of similarities between modelling concurrent systems and biological systems. Just like a computer, biological systems perform information processing, which determines how they grow, reproduce and survive in a hostile environment. Understanding this biological information processing is key to our understanding of life itself.
It’s probably easier to understand some of the output of this work – specifically the Stochastic Pi Machine, or SPiM as it’s often referred to. SPiM is a programming language for designing and simulating models of biological processes. The language features a simple, graphical notation for modelling a range of biological systems – meaning a biologist does not have to write code to create a model, they just draw pictures.
You can think of SPiM as a visual programming language for biology. In addition, SPiM can be used to model large systems incrementally, by directly composing simpler models of subsystems. Historically, the field of biology has struggled with systems so complex they become unwieldy to analyse. The modular approach that is often used in computer programming is directly applicable to this challenge."

What problem does this solve? Why is it necessary to sort a unique id?
Kip9000 | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work?
Perhaps the most valuable part of this whole thing are the tests. Perhaps with that test bank, one could start from scratch to write a new database.
