There are definitely reasons to run your own mail server. However, I've found (in my 7 years as a linux sysadmin/dev) that email is one of the harder services to setup, compared to http, database, etc.

It's the only service I use a GUI for to administer. Something about having to compile the aliases, and I get confused with the spamassasin settings.
clearly. The article is here to appeal people in 'becoming hackers', because you know, hackers are so happy in creating great click through prototypes.
Just thinking out loud, if WebGL renders on to a canvas, would it be possible to use the canvas context to read the image data?
Lots of projects you can help here:

Reminds me of SpaceX or Erlang; build a process that handles errors rather than an error free process.
Rust/Zig may have reasonable success in large companies such as those you mention. Lisp also finds strong usage in specific domains and industries.

Their complexity will limit their success in the long tail of use cases where C is well established and “good enough.”
Yeah this is all stuff this tool understood, multiple clusters, managing kube contexts, external secret storage or k8s secrets, native git integration, etc.

Definitely agree that it's difficult to get right but the authors of the tool definitely struck a really good balance.

Hopefully if I implement it myself I can do their original design and implementation justice.
In general GFO is not a good alternative when there are lots of model parameters or when it’s cheap to get the gradient. GFO could be used to train models, but kinda in the same way that you could find your way to Cleveland by just wandering around long enough. It sure would help a lot if you had a compass.
Pension / retirement fund, whatever.
it's in stable now too. noscript is a lifesaver on low-end phones.
Isn't FOIA something that applies only to federal agencies? Many states also have similar "sunshine laws", but I didn't think there was a nationwide mandate for all governments at all levels.
macOS can be booted from a .dmg for decades already, why make a "sealed" "read-only" volume if the updater then unseals it, basically copies all files from the update package into it, those files including generated stuff like the shared dyld cache, and then re-seals the volume again, recalculating all the checksums?

All that work the updater does seems really superfluous, since the System volume is declared "immutable". Why replace files on it? Just drop a .dmg, boot from it.
He apparently wrote, "Blog followers are useful to me because they expand my ability to spread important ideas and network with important people." [1] That to me is very clear intent to influence. And it's not like this was a blog about knitting. So whatever the bar is, he's well over it.

Another way to come at it is not intent, but impact. Whatever one thinks of Metz's article, I think he's correct that a) Silicon Valley has huge influence in the world, b) that the people making big decisions there are worth covering, and c) the ideas that shape those decisions are relevant. More disputable is the last piece of his chain is d), SSC has some influence on those ideas, and is a useful case study. But given the strident defenses of SSC here and elsewhere, I think the reaction to the article proves that the topic is significant enough to merit coverage.

I agree one shouldn't get promoted to national prominence "by default". But spending years publishing something to the world with an ever-growing audience is not something one does by accident. I'm sure Siskind put at least thousands of hours into his blog, and now it's his full-time job. One can't reasonably spend years courting public attention and then be mad that the public will attend to something as they see fit. Freedom of speech goes both ways.

The problem I see with his retiring is one I've experienced on reddit as a moderator.

When someone higher than you "retires" or goes otherwise inactive, yet still retains the power they hold, they inevitably come back. It's guaranteed. Even if it's only for a day. That doesn't sound like a problem at first, but it's a HUGE problem. Why?

Because new policies, rules or ways of handling things get enacted or evolve and those new things don't make sense to them. They haven't been involved with the day to day issues are not familiar with the new challenges the community has been facing. They forget that in community driven sites, the problems are dynamic and evolving. They think the community is exactly the same as when they retired. Only, it's not.

So when they come back they do away with the rules or new policies because "they don't make sense" or they're not needed. It sets the community back, or even destroying the new community all together. Some of the volunteers below them may get frustrated and/or quit because they just witnessed all their hard work get wiped out. Getting undermined by an out-of-touch owner/mod doesn't help the morale for the remaining volunteers.
I think content aggregators like reddit or HN have this problem too. "That looks interesting! I wonder when the comments say... First one: good point! Second: hadn't thought about it that way! Third: that was dumb. Fourth: boring. Next thread." They encourage shallow thought and glossing over details. I often wonder how my attention span would change if I could get myself to quit these sites.
Unless financially constrained, most people will not ride the bus to wherever they are going, today or in the future. Autonomous cars are real. The idea that humans will change their attitudes or behaviors because of them is not. Individuals will still own cars, they will just be autonomous. Car ownership may go down somewhat, but not by 99% or anywhere close to it.
You can't reasonably make the claim that Fez became popular because Fish was a drama queen! It got excellent reviews and won many awards and contests. Personally, I think the attention was warranted.

Then why aren't all of the energy costs associated getting that gasoline to the pump factored into the cost of MPG on normal cars then? People are so quick to point out the 'hidden costs' of electric cars, while ignoring things like:

* Drilling for crude oil
* Harvesting crude oil
* Shipping crude oil
* Refining oil into gasoline
* Shipping gasoline
... etc ...
Maybe part of the difference is that the “agree with” isn’t just a matter of opinion it’s a matter of governing democratic law? As in, maybe if it were trumpers staging a successful coup and people protesting the undemocratic expression of authoritarianism there would be more permission to flout rules.
The promise of future profits amounting to more than what they would walk away with today

That's exactly the same argument I used to justify why MtGox wouldn't shut down, almost word for word. It's the same argument I used to convince myself why they wouldn't shut down. They still shut down.

They're not anonymous, and they would run a real risk of bodily harm by such a public crime.

So we're relying on mob justice? Also, Mr. Karpeles hasn't been harmed and probably won't be.
My first batch of beer was good. One nice way to start is to buy a kit -- all the ingredients and the recipe come nicely packaged. A friend got my husband a beer-brewing kit for cheap a few years ago; it had two big 6+-gallon plastic buckets, the appropriate glassware & plastic piping, a hydrometer, etc. That and a big big pot for boiling water and preparing your wort are all you need. (I figured I needed to contribute to the family beer vault and we have slightly different tastes, so I made a great summer saison for my first beer.)

http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/beer-equipment-st... looks like the kit.

Experience: first batch always great. 2nd or 3rd or 4th goes bad because you get overconfident, fail to sanitize something, and something nasty grows. You realize sanitizing is important and have success thereon.
I don't understand why you're being downvoted. Anybody who was here before 2017 know what happened.
As an FYI to you and anyone reading this, you could convert your account to a business account using WhatsApp for Business. It has an auto-reply feature that you can enable with a custom message, to inform people you've moved to whatever platform you've decided to move to.
I was thinking why not make cars like cars, not smartphones. I hate when a car after a number of years is still perfect except for the extra bells and whistles.
This 100%. Do not leave your day job until the side project has sufficient traction such that finances will not be negatively impacted.
> government support

I wouldn’t exactly call tax credits “government support”. They are, no doubt, very beneficial to Tesla, and other recipients of these tax credits. They aren’t support though: it’s the rest of the companies that are more burdened by the taxes.
I love the idea of switching to atomic time. Using a different paradigm to conceptualize it could lead all sorts of whimsical new approaches to representing it, and where whimsy wanders new insights and discoveries often ensue.
Snowbirds are known to spend the winter there.

Summer is not a great time to be in Florida during hurricane season with fairly heavy rains.
I've used this in Windows and it works pretty good. The filter isn't quite as good as RTXVoice and the installation can be... tricky[1], but it's less fiddly once you get it working.

That is DEFINITELY a serious problem.

Personally, I want to see more people using Matrix because it solves that exact problem, but before that can happen I think we need a really, really good, easy to use client for it that's less like a Slack/Discord clone and more similar to something like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, Signal, Etc.
Yes, I think mirror+specific alternatives...

In fact, the simplest would be "mirror + backtrack".

If a given site had an earlier dns entry, the alternative dns would point to that earlier entry as the second alternative. If you think the second alternative is "really it", you can make that permanent for you.

It wouldn't solve everything but it would make a variety seizure approach not work well in the short term.

You'd still have trouble if you lost your ip address(es) but this would mean seizure would need multiple points of failure.

Moreover, this would need only a minimum of centralization.
A browser plugin to "find hidden/seized sites" might actually be trivial to produce. Name it something catchy. Anyone would to work on this?
I hadn't actually considered the option of having customers pay for quicker responses. It's an interesting idea. Once it's reached the stage where billing is integrated this would make an interesting layer.
Are two question marks next to each other correct then? Ie the sentence:

Video is too long. Check.
I think you need to make better use of the screen real estate. Having the feature examples below the break (Chrome, Mac) is not very effective. This app is in a crowded space (market) and I would move what you think is the distinctive features to the top and make them eye catching. Maybe thinking in vertical stripes with product, validation and features each having a column would be more impactful.

My eye goes to the gmail logo which I do not think is the message you want to communicate first.

Not yet at least. The dissatisfaction is growing, but it's not yet the opinion of the majority. Unless there are drastic changes, it will be.
The last treaty (TCE and its ersatz), was rejected by all the referendums. None of the countries who ratified them used referendum.

But it's a bit naïve to say that petitioning the government for a referendum would oblige the government to hold it.

But obviously, EU worked out quite well for the majority of citizens of those countries.

As a matter of fact, it's still working out well for the newcomers. But for founding members, especially France, my country, it hasn't been the case for the past twenty years.
One day (if not already) they'll be a Harvard Business School case-study of how corporations can create value through strategic use of Open Source communities.

And it'll probably be centered on Oracle : OpenOffice just 'got away', Java is looking a little frayed around the corners. MySQL has got to be the one they're most concerned about - and they plainly haven't yet got a grasp of how important 'playing nice' is to people that can be inspired/swayed by idealism.

It always used to be 'nobody ever got fired for buying IBM' - and maybe Oracle sees itself in the same way for databases. But it must be realizing that it's subtly being moved from the obvious choice on a list of three options, to just one of the three options...
Isn't this how we got C++?
I would vastly prefer not to die at all, and science is moving us in that direction.

That said, I don't think death is necessary as a motivator to "make today count." Today is a motivator to make today count. The living is the thing. Every attempt I've heard to bring extrinsic meaning to life falls flat on inspection. You have to chase what moves you, and that doesn't change as a function of expected lifespan. At least, not much.
You don't need to blindly trust that someone is acting in good faith, you need merely examine the evidence. If what counts as "evidence" is documented in advance this becomes all the easier.

For instance, one simply needs documented evidence that 1) the right populations were clearly made aware of vaccine location and time, 2) communications went out to "in-scope" target audiences at least X hours before the doses expired, and 3) if vaccines are at threat of expiring once they are - let's say - two hours from expiring then those that control that particular supply should do everything they can to use them.

And while this solution is a bit reductive, it's honestly not that reductive; this is a solvable problem. People on Hacker News solve much, much, much harder problems than this.

And I'd rather 20% of vaccines go to the wrong people than 5% of vaccines go in the trashbin, personally.
> ...a life of vanity, where they help no one more than themselves.

This is what most people do anyway. So, what's the problem?
Hahahaha what? I have to remember to reboot my Mac every couple days or it becomes unbearably slow. Not only that, but once a month there's a security update released that, you guessed it, requires an update. If there's some magic to not requiring an update for those please let me know, because I'm sick of waiting 30 minutes every time I install an update.
80% of Toyotas ever made are still on the road[0]. I know plenty of people who drive Toyotas older than they are. I have high doubts most Teslas won't be bricked by poor software within the decade.

Pegged tokens like USDC and USDC can still be used to speculate in DeFi platform like AAVE with pretty lucrative returns.
No, it has nothing to do with that. It's policy driven. The Dutch realized they can get in on what the UK was getting if they swallowed their pride and started speaking more English and allowing English as a language of business.

Germans are too proud and expect the world to start speaking German instead.

I lived in both countries, Germans have equally good English, but you would struggle to use English in official capacity in Germany. Whereas in the Netherlands they are very accommodating, and not because they are kinder. They do this on purpose, cause they know they can (and did in fact) attract a lot of foreign money that way.
There’s certainly overlap between the date stamps on his articles and his Apple patents. Not sure if someone might be listed as inventor on a patent filed after they left.

There are probably a lot of teams working on different aspects of the maps, so he wouldn’t automatically be privy to everything because he’s worked on one aspect of the product.
The Fed is stabilizing the price of the USD because of the coronavirus pandemic. If it were not printing money, then there would likely be a deflationary spiral that would cause a depression.

That's one of the reasons why the Great Depression was so bad: the US was on the gold standard at the beginning. The US can't create gold out of thin air, so the USD started deflating, people stopped spending, and capital stopped flowing. Companies went bankrupt, people lost jobs — all because much needed dollars were stuffed in people's mattresses instead of being spent.

The Fed is increasing the money supply by purchasing bonds because corporations need cheaper capital to pay their workers and their bills. When the pandemic is over, it will sell back these bonds the banks it bought them from. Without the Fed's intervention, this recession and pandemic would have been far, far worse.

Of course, helping corporations also helps the people who own the corporations: the rich. That's a distributional issue, and the main solution is tax policy. We need to raise income and estate taxes on the rich, increase the tax on capital gains, and institute a wealth tax.

The Fed is like an engine. But engines are a tool. Tools can cause good things and bad things. Right now, the Fed is causing good things by providing liquidity, which has the side effect of causing bad things because it lets the rich accumulate wealth.

If the Fed is like an engine, then it serves to move a train — the economy. If the train is runaway — if the economy benefits the rich far more than normal people — that doesn't mean engines are bad. It means we need to stop the train, fix it, and start the engine again.

If we restructure our economy, the Fed will still continue to do good things, with fewer negative side effects. That would be, on net, good. So the problem isn't with the Fed, it's with the economy. And claiming that the Fed is the root of all our problems misses the bigger picture.
Babies do tend to learn a few signs...However as soon as they learn to talk they universally forget everything.

This was our experience with our young child. It helped to be able to say "more" and sometimes "please" and eventually "all done" but eventually spoken words replaced this communication form. My wife and I have two semesters worth of education under Deaf teachers but have no plans of pressing further on this as a second language for our son.
How about letting users decide how much to pay?
Heroku's value proposition though is that they are taking away the back end worries for their customers so they can just deploy apps and not have to worry about it all. If I have to still worry about redundancy outside of their system then their service suddenly becomes a lot less useful.

I think the blame stops at Heroku who either need to provide more redundancy for incidents like this or let their customers know that if this type of incident arises there is little that they can do.

I' a bit disturbed by your open bigotry. You would never say "that hotel was bad value because JEWS". Why do you think it's acceptable to say "tha. Hotel wifi is bad value because OLD PEOPLE"?
Interesting Generalization. I contest that Facebook is in a much better situation and condition than AOL.
Bill Clinton was the most natural speaker I have ever heard.
That's not true --- I'm comparing against their neural-network shift-reduce dependency parser, which is very fast. Actually I don't know of a faster parser than theirs, other than spaCy.
Watched the two first and they are pretty good, easy to follow as someone new to Xcode/IOS. Looking forward to follow this series.
I think this is the wrong way of looking at it - and actually the way that Intel themselves describe it. Intel think of themselves as a manufacturing company whose designs drive demand for their fab. But in truth, most of their value comes from x86 which could be produced by any fab. To stay competitive, their high end designs need to be on the absolute bleedge edge process. Which up until now has been Intel fabs.

But it's not giving up on Intel fabs to get their stuff produced by TSMC. They need to do both - they need to make money by producing the best designs in the market no matter what the process in the high end space, as wl as sinking investment into their fabrication side to make sure that in 5 years time they're the leading fab. At which point they can turn around and say F-U to all those TSMC customers, produce only Intel chips and use that to capture market share.
Parent comment only proposed a syntax. From grandparent comment:

Yeah I mean the key difference is if you get caught up in the actions of a mob of armed insurrectionists, that means you were in a crowd of armed insurrectionists in the first place.
How did printf end up here in the first place? Decades of feature additions, or were these features a part of an early spec?
Whataboutism is so easy to spot yet people step right into the trap all the time. But once you can spot it, it just takes a quick remark to shut it right down. ie. either don't respond at all or kindly ask the whatabouter to stick to the topic at hand.
