Lots of universities teach Haskell as part of a CS degree, and that has not too much use in the world outside academia...
It does have some places! I used it at IOHK, they use it at Mercury, a little at Meta, Galois, etc...

What's with the title? It says "Journalists ..." (plural) when so far as I can tell it's the story of one journalist. While I'm sure there's at least one other journalist wary of traveling to the US, that's not the story at hand, and HN guidelines prohibit editorializing of titles.
I am not actually sure they are a journalist, but more a blogger? Happy to be proven wrong

For anyone wondering how that initial letter is made to look like that:
1. The background flourish is created with ::before and a custom web font
2. The flourish letter is found via content: attr() on the parent element
3. The actual big letter itself is also done via custom web font & float: left
Looks like all the CSS is
/* Drop caps / .first-paragraph { position: relative; padding-top: 0.2em;
&::first-letter {
/* font-weight: bold; */
font-size: 4em;
float: left;
margin: 0.15em 0.05em 0 0;
font-family: 'EBGaramond-InitialsF2', serif;
font-display: block;
line-height: 0.83em; /* Fix alignment in Chrome */
}
&::before {
margin: 0.15em 0.05em 0 0;
font-size: 4em;
font-family: 'EBGaramond-InitialsF1', serif;
content: attr(data-first-letter);
color: gray;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0.28em;
}
}Paying for grad school out of pocket (around 700 USD per month, I'm going slowly). Paying for a large tattoo out of pocket, actually the same price as grad school (700 USD). Member of a few different clubs (BJJ, Muay Thai, local spa gym) which is maybe 300 USD all in.
Those are my regular monthly bills outside of house, food, etc...
Won't say salary but in a high percentile of income in EU country.
If I had no job and unlimited money (and no responsibilities) I'd go to Phuket and train Muay Thai for a year, then go to the Wudang mountains and train Kung Fu at some probably quite Westernised temple for another year. Afterwards I'd start a company in the defence or space sector.

I'd love a remake or a Chromehounds 2 on Xbox/PlayStation. I played it on the 360 but before I had online, so only in single player, but still loved it.

First time making an app lol. Thanks for letting me know.
If you're actually 16, this is really nice and you are way ahead for your age, congrats :) You got a little stick here because some people have used this claim falsely for marketing and are actually not 16.
If you are, keep going - you will smash it :)

What if they’re really a large group of businessmen and investors pretending to be a 16 year old?
I assume all these "I am 16" type posts are just ways to help market, unless the account exists for some time before the Show HN with clear evidence they are in high school (I have seen many younger people talk about high school internships, for example - if they then have a Show HN I will believe it!)

Isn't this just quickly generated by Lovable?
The user has no background, and I couldn't find any info on the creator itself.
Yeah, 99% sure

Hahahaha, I can't believe I found the meme in the wild!
What I said in full is:
"automatically awarded to O3s / O4s for a deployment",
which is pretty clear and backed by both the linked articles and my first-hand experience.
My point was that he served in Iraq and has more "real" experience than being a prison guard. This doesn't mean he has enough experience to run the DoD of course, but I wanted to add that because it's misrepresenting a vet who served a deployment.
