I have reverse DNS and SPF, but not DKIM and I don't have that many issues getting my email delivered. I did have issues with AOL, but once I registered as the contact for my IP address with them, those issues went away. I've also had one or two issues with GMail over the years, but last I knew, it was okay (I normally don't deal with GMail addresses that much).

Then again, I've had my domain for 17 years, self hosting everything for 16 years (with the occasional IP change, but I think I've had the same IP now for almost ten years so go figure).
http://forebears.io/surnames/nicdomhnaill

Any surname starting with "Nic" and ending with a Gaelic personal name is a woman's surname. Nic is a contraction of "nighean mhic" (Scottish) / "iníon mhic" (Irish), meaning "daughter of a son of," and is equivalent to Mac (son of) for girls and women.

This particular name is the feminine Gaelic form of MacDomhnall (MacDonald in English), though it's misspelled. The initial consonant in Domhnall should be lenited to produce NicDhomhnaill, and if it's Scottish, there should be a grave over the "o."

Your approach is what they were downvoting.

Using the words, 'cowardly' to describe other people you don't know, and saying 'I'm better than you', to people you don't know, and saying 'my grandmother could write better markup', to a group of people you don't know, probably just made them classify you as a 'troll'.

I saw the markup, and saw they needed guidance (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10489954), you saw the markup and decided they weren't worth helping. That's sad really. No one is an expert in everything.

Try helping out, rather than lambasting.

I was just reading a great book entitled 'Debugging Teams - Better Productivity Through Collaboration' (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920042372.do). Here's a great excerpt:

"In order to reach collaborative nirvana, you first need to learn and embrace what we call the “three pillars” of social skills. These three principles aren’t just about greasing the wheels of relationships; they’re the foundation on which all healthy interaction and collaboration are based.

Humility

You are not the center of the universe. You’re neither omniscient nor infallible. You’re open to self-improvement.

Respect

You genuinely care about others you work with. You treat them as human beings, and appreciate their abilities and accomplishments.

Trust

You believe others are competent and will do the right thing, and you’re OK with letting them drive when appropriate."

Think about those three things.
Sometimes it's just the curiuosity of "how did they do that?" In general, one doesn't go around looking at the code everywhere, but on more than one occassion I've looked into something to figure out how something was done, or why it's broken in my browser (much more common in early Firebird^b^b^b^bfox).

On the one hand, I hope it gives a real build target for Rust and Go... on the other, I hope things don't get too obfuscated in practice.
Well I have learned a lot from my wife in this regard, we walk our dog in the early evenings and say Hi! and chat with anyone willing to stop and talk.

Perhaps the biggest thing I learned is that you have to give your time unconditionally, sometimes for a while, before people will trust you enough to reciprocate. But you can break down barriers this way.
> a beautiful 30+ stories castle surrounded by a park of ~1 km radius

The problem with this is that you're basically getting the worst of both worlds. You lose many of the real benefits of dense development because there's no space for jobs and shopping, and you lose the benefits of privately kept land like customized yards and broken-up sightlines and so on.

The "giant building separated from everything else by a giant moat of grass" style also has a long, ugly history in public housing developments, with it meant as idealistic but ultimately turning to crap.
> Response was a resounding no, then threats from the person who was doing the renting that they would post negative reviews of my wife as a renter so no one would rent from us again.

Umm, are you sure? You can leave reviews only if you actually rent from someone. It's not like Yelp, where anyone can write reviews for any place. On AirBnB, the actual rental transaction has to happen.

Secondly: you don't see each other's reviews until after the review period has closed. So you could leave a negative review, but the owner would not see it until their time to review has passed.

Hm – Client-side web programming is all about resource management. I can't see, how cross-compiled C++ code that originated for a completely other platform with object code in the MBs range will do a decent job. And even, if this is not the original idea of WebAssembly, this is sure to come.

(We've seen similar with emscripten: As much as I love it as an experiment, it's highly problematic in production.)

And of course, as others have already pointed out, it's likely to ruin the vision of the web as a mosaic of just a few trivial technologies that can be investigated with modest knowledge. (Compare the comment by zmmmmm.)
I think one of best examples of this was the push to make mandatory the National Animal Identification System. The idea was put every farm animal into a database and RFID the larger ones. I'd heard that farmers would need to log the timestamp of every feeding or watering (though I can't find any source for that in 2 minutes of Googling.)

I did find this. "... the animal owner would be required to report: the birthdate of an animal, the application of every animal’s ID tag, every time an animal leaves or enters the property, every time an animal loses a tag, every time a tag is replaced, the slaughter or death of an animal, or if any animal is missing. Such events must be reported within 24 hours." From http://www.countrysidemag.com/90-1-mary-zanoni

I would argue that this is burdensome and easier to rationalize for an urbanite. Also note that they likely didn't consider how small farmers will often arrange to have their animals graze on a neighbor's field, which would mean logging entry and exit twice a day.
That's actually the only reasonable definition of crime in a perfect world. It's because we don't live in a perfect world that we must focus on acts instead of intentions.

I completely agree. Are they advocating that some western liberal democracy take over and run the place? That didn't work to well in the 18th century, and it doesn't work to well now. We don't have a "world government" and some unified thinking about "what is best", and as a result there are always places in the world where the people who are in a position to do something, are doing something despicable.
> The fact that "power users" are making so much money from Airbnb indicates just how poorly hotels serve travelers. Rather than curb users to 1 listing, why not try to embrace their energy to create a better travel service?

A lot of people prefer Airbnb not because hotels are so terrible but because Airbnb is so cheap.

> These negative Airbnb articles simply indicate that Airbnb is growing faster than the company can keep up with its users.

Airbnb is a big company with a lot of resources at this point. They aren't doing anything about these problems because they don't want to.

Right now they are exactly where they want to be: they collect a hefty percentage of every transaction that rolls through their platform, and they get to offload pretty much all of the risk onto their users.

I will never understand how that company makes money. If you can get users to pay you for your content, then don't try and sell your users time to someone else. Horrible value proposition and if you have to block that much stuff they likely sell your data as well, not to mention many premium clients are shittier than the pirate sites. Hulu value proposition:

* Pay for content.
* Still have to watch commercials.
* Have data about my usage sold to highest bidder.
* Video client that is not as good as putlocker (or whatever the cool kids are using these days)

it is owned by nbc, disney and fox. they still don't get that you can sell content, sell ads, or sell nothing. Very little overlap.

I've been using neovim for over 6 months and can't go back to vim, mainly due to asynchronous linter.

In the last week neovim changed their config file location from `~/.nvimrc` to `~/.config/nvim/init.vim`, though config file AFAIK is fully backwards compatible to vim, as I use the same vimrc for neovim and vim.

I think that shows the limits of the punishment after the fact approach. The point is to demand that companies create an atmosphere where professionals have some autonomy to make decisions based on their expertise rather than the good of the company. Unfortunately, the trend is things going the other way for virtually all professionals, not simply almost-professionals like programmers.

The first problem is these fires cover vast swaths of remote land, with no easy access for fire fighting.

Secondly, these are not your normal fire, but instead they are peat fires, meaning the fire is burning meters underground.

And because they are peat fires, they can only be extinguished using massive amounts of water, sufficient water to saturate the area at least a meter down.

And that raises the final problem. Such large volumes of water are just not available.

So these fires will keep burning until the arrival of the monsoon, when nature will finally deliver enough water put out the burning land.

Decision Fatigue (2011)
Fine, you don't want neighbors. This is probably true of many people who choose to live in "full-time hotels in Asia."

Many people move to residential zones because they are interested in having neighbors, and they are understandably perturbed when an entity encourages law-breaking behavior that destroys their neighborhood.
Not in any way. I'm saying that enjoying doing something is not the same as being passionate about it. There are many things I enjoy that I don't have a passion for.

Passion and pleasure are being conflated a lot here.
I ended up not with average neighbors but with extremely noisy ones

It might not even be the neighbor himself, it could be his dog. A dog that barks constantly, for little or no reason, at all odd hours. Or, something that happened to me, a neighbor with a rooster. A rooster that loved to start crowing at about 4 or 5 AM!
Tragic. All of what you wrote is true for Europe too, just replace fire by flood (various kinds).
Then their competitor will come and offer you a little bit of money so you'll deliver your passion through them instead of your current employer. Then another competitor will offer a bit more than that. Then another will offer a little bit more. Etc, etc, over time--this is how "market rates" come to exist for jobs.
I don't think companies care about morals. I think they really only care about making money.

In Amazon's case, I know they go out of their way to treat employees well only because they need to. This makes sense, especially for a company that sells things online when ecommerce wasn't nearly as common, and so they had to convince people that buying online was safe and as easy as buying in person.

On the other hand, if companies were actually concerned with morals in and of itself, they would do things morally right that don't benefit them.

Using Amazon again as an example, did you know AmazonSmile is a thing? I mean, it's really great. But, if a company were solely concerned with charity, AmazonSmile wouldn't be a thing; instead they would just automatically donate for everyone. It's a thing because it means that only the people who know about it and care about donating to charity will use it, and their profits will only be lower for people who care about giving to charity.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is, do companies care about morals? Unless they are run by very nice people, no. For the most part, they only care about morals to the extent that it benefits them. Companies are just run by people, and I wouldn't even argue that most people have particularly strong moral values.

For me asynchronous plugins are a killer feature, which renders classic vim unusable for me.

I run linter every time I save, which made vim's UI lock for noticeable time on non trivially small files. With neovim linting is smooth as butter from UI/UX perspective. Also there is asynchronous make, and other possible features/plugins.

My videos were already deleted because I deleted them one by one before they changed my password, put in a redirect back to home on my account, and updated my profile for me.

Anyway, at least they're not referencing dice.com, which I have nothing to do with, anymore. I guess we're just back at square one now.

The article is about SF and NYC. People live for years in residential neighborhoods in SF and NYC without befriending their neighbors.

Anyways, having transients for neighbors actually reduces your risk (variance) with respect to your neighbors. Any given day you're likely to have a normal respectful neighbor. If they're not, they'll soon be gone. Whereas with permanent neighbors you're stuck with them for a long time if they're inconsiderate assholes.
So essentially there is little difference for end-users (yet)?

Exactly. One of the things that urban planning sometimes gets right and sometimes gets wrong, and that suburban planning is just barely starting to figure out in experiments, is that residential and commercial should be relatively closely interspersed, not separated.
My grandparents' house in a deeply rural part of New England has one of those lights.

I hear you but you're missing Gassée's key point. You can't just hire/acquire. There has to be a cultural fit too. Acquisitions without cultural fit don't necessarily work.

"I am one of the many who believe culture always wins. Culture eats strategy for breakfast, it causes mergers and acquisitions to fail and, above all, it resists virile executive calls to change. Culture evolves slowly, as if having its own independent will, or not at all."

How do you think the culture of those safety-critical companies compares to Apple's today? (But yes, like Alphabet maybe Apple is restructuring internally to better cultivate this culture.)

Culture? Hmm. Maybe. These highly ordered, dense and costly neighborhoods are hostile. Anxiety is high among residence. Remove that and replace it with a degree of liberty, some space and the need to collaborate to keep the road open and people connect naturally.

The 'urban planners' and their cheerleaders have it wrong. They've decided that downsizing everyone and making them live in each others laps will end with Kumbaya. In fact it ends with everyone on edge, peering at each other silently as they sweat the value of their tiny piece of it.
> anti-car municipal governments impeding road development

In my experience, this translates as, "governments who think non-car transportation modes should be treated as seriously as cars."

> However, actual contact with neighbors was very sparse; a service for every need, everything on auto-pilot.
The last three months I've been living semi-rural in the midwest; all the households are on two acres (minimum, due to to well and septic density.) I've had more direct contact with my neighbors in these 12 weeks than the previous 21 years put together. Maintaining larger properties that are much more distant from the urban core invites collaboration. Household attendance at the HOA meeting last month was almost 50%; waaay more than I saw back in the Front Range burbs.

Honestly, this just sounds like your personality is more attuned to a rural area; you're fitting in better, and therefore socializing more. There are certainly people like yourself for whom this is the case, and that's absolutely fine. The problem with the regulations I mentioned isn't that they allow for low-density development, it's that they enforce low-density development.

Also, what you're describing still matches the article more or less: you don't really have spontaneous interaction in the community, but you do have intentional/planned interaction.
