Ask HN: Anyone here working on/with Membrane Computing?
9 by netfortius | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Although probably late in this field, I have recently come across the topic, sourced/starting from an old paper by one of the main actors in this area, Gheorghe Paun ("An impossibility theorem for indicators aggregation"), who I then followed through to learning about Membrane Computing. I am planning to buy the introductory book on the topic, also authored by Paun, but not right away. I was wondering if there are individuals who could speak to the how and why, and maybe work on applications in this space.

Ask HN: Where are all the parties?
74 by throwaway_party | 89 comments on Hacker News.
10 years ago, there were a lot of parties in my life, and now there are none. Where have they gone? Have you seen the same, and have you managed to revive your party life? I remember parties at friends places, for housewarmings, birthdays, holidays, sports games, barbecuing, karaoke, whatever. I remember parties at work, for people joining the team, for people leaving, for projects kicking off or finishing. Now my kids are older and it seems that only they get to party. I try my best, invited some people for parties, but we never seem to get invites in return. Hypotheses I have so far: - I'm just getting old (closing in on 50) and people my age don't party anymore - COVID happened and we still haven't restarted partying the way we used to - I'm just unlucky with my set of friends and need to renew my friendships Very interested in both macro trends (eg is partying overall just down) as well as things that you've done at individual level to restart party life.

New laptop, core i5, plugged into external 4K display, 5 to 10 chrome tabs, the odd full screen zoom meeting. On a budget, and the 16gb option in my area (very remote) is more than double the price.
