Glad to hear I'm not alone, the latest releases of JetBrains have been so bad I finally cancelled my subscription. VSCode has been a nice surprise, "its giving old emacs" as the kids would say.

> Some people might say that it’s cool to open to open up a home appliance and expose yourself to high voltage AC components, but at the end of the day, it’s also pretty fun.

Ok you got me.

Was really hoping this would be a new major mode for Emacs.

Are you taking any NAD+ supplements? I am as of a week ago, just curious if anyone else is.

This also lines up with something said in the book Lifespan about fasting reducing inflammation.

How long did it take for you to get a job? I'm currently looking again after a long sabbatical.

I think they are talking about the word embeddings, where context is embedded into high geometric dimensions (one dimension might capture how 'feminine' a word is, or how 'blue' it is).

Most of the market gains occur overnight, not during trading hours.

Yes I think you are right, it was funny to me but I see your point.

I haven't yet posted to Show I'll do that after I make those changes, thanks!

Ask HN: How can I advertise my open source project for almost no money

I have an open source stock trading journal https://stjou.com/ that I personally use, but I can't get anyone else to try/use it.

What are your tips on marketing open source apps?

How can I figure out WHY people aren't using it? Is it ugly? Do people not trust it?

Any advice on how to get this in front of people that trade stocks ?

Thanks HN

Isn't this huge news? Discrete energy levels for photons?

That's Lorentzian geometry and Minkowski space from the 1900's and created for Relativity.

This is Euclidian geometry, much older and more 'accepted'.

Same here, I've been slogging through with raw sympy this tool looks great.

How do I speed up the start time for it - any ideas? Recompile it with PyPy or similar?
