Which OS are you using?
raizinho··on The Lola Programming Language
Ah. I use R a lot but gotten so used to not saving RData and Rhistory that I forgot why they were useful.

Could you elaborate?
raizinho··on Can programming be liberated from the von Neumann style? (1978)
I'm not sure it meets your criteria but R Shiny (https://shiny.rstudio.com/) is purely reactive.

I'm currently using Doppler (https://www.doppler.com/) but I'm not sure if it sidesteps the issues outlined in the article.

Could you post a link to the client?

raizinho··on Android Podcast Apps – Altneratives to Spotify and Google Podcasts
I'm on Android and use Castbox. Wouldn't recommend the free version unless you're extremely tolerant to ads. It comes with a good selection of other features (comments, recommendations, etc.) but I don't use them.

I'd also (tentatively) put PocketCasts forward. I switched to Castbox because I encountered an issue that made it unusable, but it doesn't seem like it was widespread when I was trying to find out what was wrong. Unfortunately the Support Team couldn't help so I had to leave it.

raizinho··on Show HN: The game where you test your offside decision-making skills against VAR
It's not hard to figure out but it would be helpful to know which team (by kit color) is attacking.

Also is this just a collection of (controversial) calls VAR ruled as offside? Went through about 10-15 and that's all I got.

raizinho··on Parents' income, not smarts, key to entrepreneurship
It's even hinted at in the article: "A significant connection between the parents’ level of education and entrepreneurship was also noted." The clickbait title confirming people's priors isn't surprising though.

If I had to guess at the causal graph it would something like:

smart -> income smart -> entrepreneurship entrepreneurship -> income income -> entrepreneurship

And even without the last two connections the smart confounding variable would induce a relationship between income and entrepreneurship.

raizinho··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
This is fantastic. I spent a lot of time looking into making my own podcast feed with audio of articles but never pushed through hard enough to get it working.

It's working perfectly on desktop but I'm having some trouble on Castbox. When I navigate to the link from the QR code Castbox can't find the feed.

raizinho··on Catala: a programming language for socio-fiscal legislative literate programming
This is something I've given some thought to since encountering logic programming. Could something like this be done in say, Prolog?
raizinho··on Netflix is creating a problem by cancelling TV shows too soon
> First Netflix UI is anti-consumer and regularly hides things or makes them difficult/impossible to find.

Your working hypothesis is that Netflix is willfully trying to keep people from spending more their platform?

raizinho··on Rideshare operations are being suspended in California
I'm surprised that you'd suggest that "businesses brought this on themselves." It's a cut and dry government failure.
raizinho··on What harm do minimum wages do?
It's expecting companies to subsidize misguided government policies. For example, if the government restricts housing (and implements rent control) which drives up prices, why should companies pay more to make sure people can afford housing costs? How about runaway inflation?

There's always talk about market failures when many times government failures are the true causal mechanism.

raizinho··on Ask HN: What is the sqlite of graph databases?
Sure. Would be glad to help if I can. My email is in my GitHub profile.
raizinho··on Ask HN: What is the sqlite of graph databases?
I was afraid someone would ask. It's a minimal proof of concept that I did in a day for a specific use case. It's only for directed digraphs, only stores node attributes, and has zero tests.

If you still want to poke around: https://github.com/gfleetwood/nxdb. I just added comments and renamed some variables for clarity, so there might be errors.

raizinho··on Ask HN: What is the sqlite of graph databases?
After doing a ton of searching - and being extremely picky - I ended up writing a thin two way wrapper for sqlite and networkx. The only graph database that was easy to get started with that I felt comfortable using was Neo4j, and it's definitely not a sqlite equivalent.
raizinho··on Ask HN: What is the best way to record a terminal session?
Simple Screen Recorder is pretty good.
raizinho··on Ask HN: Simple but modern Python dev set-up?
I use conda through miniconda. It comes with great support for reproducible virtual environments.

You could add a Brier score as well to get a sense of how well they are at predicting at a glance.
raizinho··on Ask HN: Why No Smart Phone Esque IoT Device?
Played around with it a while back when my attempt at doing hardware died pretty quickly. Will check them out again.
raizinho··on Ask HN: Why No Smart Phone Esque IoT Device?
Cool. Thanks for the info.
raizinho··on Ask HN: Why No Smart Phone Esque IoT Device?
Ordered a couple recently, so I'll play around with them once they arrive.

Honestly, I'm really looking for a board with all the bells and whistles. Just a simpler interface and some stuff that just works out of the box. Especially communication protocols like GSM, Bluetooth, WiFi etc.
