poidos··on Don't Panic! Better, Fewer, Syntax Errors for LR Parsers
Hey Nick,

Project looks great! I see on your README you're working on an LLVM backend. I'm doing the same for an unrelated language, would love to contribute to Muon if you're looking for extra hands.

poidos··on There's never been an easier time to write your own language (2016)
+1 for LLVM. It's hard to grok at first, but the Kaleidoscope ([0]) tutorial lets you hit the ground running. After that, it's very rewarding to learn LLVM's API by googling, poking around their excellent source code, and having clang emit IR for you (`clang -S -emit-llvm -O0 test.c`)

poidos··on Americans' perceptions of police drop significantly in one week
This is where people get the "All" from.
poidos··on Bringing GNU Emacs to native code [video]
I tried this out on my system last night. Compile time was quite large (I would say about an hour and a half on my Ryzen 3600X.) I use the DOOM Emacs config, and was surprised to find most things working out of the box with the native compilation. I noticed no difference in startup time. The speed boost was surprisingly noticeable, however, when e.g. opening a buffer that causes a language server to start. Opening CCLS was... instant. It's usually quite quick, but this was noticeably faster.

Great job all around!

poidos··on What would you do if you lost your Google account?
Well, nothing... google-free. :)
poidos··on When can we test everyone?
Aren’t asymptomatic carriers a big part of the problem? That is, it seems like testing everyone (instead of just testing folks that are sick) enables us to find asymptomatic carriers and isolate them much sooner than (if) they start showing symptoms.
poidos··on 3.28M file for U.S. jobless benefits
Most, if not all (?) will lose their healthcare. Horrible situation to be in during a pandemic.
poidos··on An Oregon creamery making vodka from milk
I did this in college and all it accomplished was to temporarily ruin the filter -- pretty brutal to wake up after a night of drinking the filtered vodka, stumble hungover to the pitcher for some water, and take a big swig of vodka flavored water!
poidos··on Dented Reality: Magic Leap Sees Slow Sales, Steep Losses
A friend worked for them and (if I recall correctly) employees got a free unit. Not sure if that’s included in this number.
poidos··on Think young people are hostile to capitalism now? Wait for the next recession
This opinion leaves out many of the parts of living in modern society that go beyond what we can choose. Just as a quick example, in the US, you don't choose to get sick and fall into medical debt -- but capitalism underpins the health system that induces that medical debt (which is a major contributor to poverty [0].)

It seems like you may be confusing the situation of the people in your immediate circle with the larger, systemic problems that are directly related to the accumulation/hoarding of wealth.

To your last point -- the majority of people are not able to simply "make better choices." No one chooses to be born into poverty. No one chooses to lose their job. No one chooses to be ill. It is exceedingly harder, year after year, for working-class people to even have the ability to improve their lives meaningfully.

poidos··on The boring technology behind a one-person Internet company (2018)
I appreciate the response!! It is wonderful to hear about the evolution of your process, thank you :)
poidos··on The boring technology behind a one-person Internet company (2018)
Thank you for the Flask tutorial. I tried getting into it but was having some trouble; the tutorial looks great!
poidos··on The boring technology behind a one-person Internet company (2018)
As someone still in school, this type of article -- though inspiring-- kind of scares me, to be honest. I don't think I could do any one of the things mentioned in this article.
poidos··on Cloudflare S-1
(I don't know a lot about IPOs...) When would I (i.e. a "normal" stock buyer) be able to buy some shares of Cloudflare?
poidos··on Gmail tracks the history of things you buy, and it’s hard to delete
+1 for Fastmail, great service.
poidos··on Gmail Services Global Outage
Another +1 for Fastmail.
poidos··on Your live coding demo is boring me (2015)
Have you given Spacemacs a try? I've been using it for about a week now and it's pretty revelatory.
poidos··on Boden cross-platform framework: Native C++11, native widgets, no JavaScript
In step 6 here [0], `xcodeselect` doesn't work. It's `xcode-select` on my machine (running Mojave 10.14.1 with XCode 10.1 (10B61))

poidos··on Antidepressant withdrawal: reviewing the paper behind the headlines
I’m currently on day five off my previous antidepressant, Zoloft. (For reference, I’m 23 and weigh ~225 lbs.) Nothing too bad, minus a panic attack last night. I certainly don’t feel “normal”, though— I feel somewhat lightheaded basically constantly, and have been experiencing a strange tingling sensation on my lips. I was taking the lowest dose recommended for adults, 50 mg.
poidos··on Ask HN: What SaaS or apps are you paying for?
Linode hosts my website

FastMail for email from said site

Dropbox for storage

Spotify for music

And the $1 icloud upgrade (for ios backups)

poidos··on Keeping a Lab Notebook [pdf]
I wrote a simple program that does this same thing:

poidos··on The software engineering notebook
This command (as presented) is giving me issues with saving the file on my machine, not sure if it's specific to only me but figured I'd give you a heads-up!
poidos··on Ask HN: What tasks do you automate?
I do this as well (research in computational chemistry.) Incredibly useful once set up, plus forcing oneself to think about a project in abstract terms to automate it can give valuable perspective.
poidos··on Logojoy: AI-powered logo creator
Hey! Just a heads-up, there's a small typo on your landing page-- It says "They chose Logojoy because it's of how easy it is to make a great logo." That "it's" is superfluous. Anyways, great product! Congrats on your success.
