Can someone finally clarify whether Nylas Mail requires a Nylas account to use Basic-tier or not?

I see comments by searching through HN, where people suggest that after the somewhat recent change from N1 to Mail, it doesn't require a Nylas account anymore (example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14017581), but I can't for the life of me find a way to set it up without creating an account, since it is an unskippable step in the initial setup.
This looks like a very well rounded list. When I started body-weight fitness a couple of years ago, I found this link to be immensely helpful too: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend...

If anyone's looking for more progressions on these exercises, the link above has some cool routines to checkout.
Though it seems increasingly too 'niche' to be viable, being fully open source and putting the end users interests first by default is pretty valuable.
I've been using Duolingo about daily for over 200 days. I've been sad to see more ads forced and some design anti-patterns added.

Example-

Before: When finishing a lesson on Android, it showed an ad and had a button at the bottom that said something like "Ok, close"

After: Same button at the end of the ad now says "Go Ad-Free for $9.99 a month". They added a tiny "x" in the top corner to close the ad. By instinct, I keep clicking the "Go ad-free" button, but when you enter the ad purchase screen and try to exit, it says "Are you sure you want to quit? All progress will be lost." Clicking "exit" implies that your lesson you just completed will not count, but fortunately this does not happen.

Changes like this, plus stale content that doesn't get very advanced, have made me go from a promoter to a detractor.
What are your thoughts on the drivers for reducing the cost of computing beyond CMOS?
No, they're not. Populist forces in the west are intrinsically linked to the collapse of blue collar industries and jobs as well as forced immigration, and aren't necessarily nationalist, it's more a reaction against the status quo.

In Turkey and the Middle East Islamism has been rising, partly due to the collapse of Arab nationalism and partly due to Saudi Arabia's worldwide propagation of Wahhabism.
Looks like we're headed in the wrong direction.
I've lived in different cities in China and US. 4-6 RMB to 1 USD in major cities like Beijing/Shanghai, and 1-3 RMB to 1 USD in less developed cities or sururban area. Less developed a city is, less RMB to USD in purchasing power for most domestic goods.

"If the company does decide to run OpenStack, it's likely they won't contribute back any source code. (Same as Linux situation where most users of it don't contribute source code.) This removes another subset of potential contributors."

From my perspective, companies that decide to run Openstack do contribute code back, but the process is so long and arduous to get code accepted that it's not hard to see how groups would just give up and just merge upstream to their own.

Core reviewers have to accept your code, and they are on no timeline to do so. Months will go by without a review.
A great podcast, btw. That specific episode and in general.

I wonder if this brain hack will have unwanted side effects. That is, I wonder if using the light trick could cause the normal processing to either not happen or happen less often.

Just FYI: he already has a Wii U - I think you're confusing 3D World with 3D Land, which was on the 3DS.

Way back when I interviewed a two or three hundred people for software/web dev positions, in hiring meetings I was always saying, "We're not hiring them to do interviews, we're hiring them to write software." It really, really, really doesn't matter if people are nervous or weird or whatever during a job interview. OK sure "culture fit" is great if you want to work with a bunch of bros that can chill together but good lord what a world if only chill bros are allowed to have jobs.
What about your personal laptop if you only use it for programming?
I think a part of it has also been Nintendo's terrible naming scheme the past few years.

I don't follow gaming news closely, so when I heard of the Wii U I thought it was a hardware revision not unlike the Xbox One S to the Xbox One. It took me over a year after launch to learn that the Wii U is an entirely new console.

The same thing happened with the 3DS. When I finally looked into getting one this past holiday season, I was confused by the 3DS vs 3DS XL vs New 3DS vs New 3DS XL. I was hesitant to buy since I wasn't sure if the New 3DS was a hardware revision or an entirely new console like the Wii U.

On top of that, the marketing wasn't there for me. I learn of my gaming news when it hits the front page of Reddit. When the Switch was announced, there was massive hype behind it. I didn't see the same for the Wii U.
Perhaps it's overdiscussed here, but there are lots of important environmental lessons that are worth reflecting on.

I always wonder if things like this are caused by corporate espionage. Walmart comes to mind as someone who would benefit from the "reverse PR" against Amazon. Apparently Walmart has been in China since 1996. I wonder if they could influence a distributor to poison an Amazon supply chain.
I am not really claiming containers are the future, but from someone who is actively working on a network appliance I have people asking me at least twice a month about containers to put my product in (from people who are already managing 10k+ systems and wanting to simplify deployment). I have heard zero buzz about OpenStack except during a SVP drive by about a year ago.

Most of the customer sites I interact with on the high end just end up baking their own system images tied to a SSO solution and just manage it with VMWare/Ansible/something homegrown. On the low end people just don't deal with OpenStack at all and just do it the hard way with a VMWare or KVM style solution. For either side of that equation containerization is a faster value-add.

From the other side what people ask me about cloud integration is more feature-driven of particular clouds than anything else. I'm just not seeing the momentum in the field.
The mistake here is to assume that there's a causal relationship between having worked in the industry and taking a pro-industry role as a regulator.

This isn't inherently true. Industry alums can and have taken regulatory actions in the public interest. Tom Wheeler, the former Chairman of the FCC, used to be a cable industry lobbyist and passed regulation in favor or net neutrality and despite the protests of the industry he used to regulate.

It turns out that the person and their intentions matter. When a revolving door person happens to take pro-industry actions it's not because they somehow fooled the government into thinking they'd act in the public good. The government knowingly appointed someone with pro-industry biases because the industry lobbied the government.

If we want the government to appoint people who will act in the public interest at the expense of the industry, we have to demand that. Sometimes that person will be from the industry. We may call them a dingo. But they'll turn out to act in our interests.
As long as we're dealing with signals, everything is within the realm of possibility.

The thing that amazes me is that Nintendo has remained true to a single credo: that gaming should be FUN.

I've tried to get into gaming lately but the console stuff is just so contrived and dull. It's so focused on trying to be a movie (a bad one at that) that it has completely killed any idea of fun. The COD series is the absolute worst culprit. I really don't want to sit through a cutscene, then spend 30 minutes figuring out how the game works. I just want to play.

But Mario, Zelda...they're all just pure FUN. This is gaming as I remember when I was a child.

Correct, but while exploring the universe, doing it undetected is actually a great strategy. Imagine self replicating nano bots that embed themselves into asteroids. Everything thinks its just big rocks flying in space that sometimes smash into planets. But its a strategy to slowly colonize the galaxy and put a mark everywhere. Kind of how plants spread their pollen into the wind or have bees and butterflies do their dirty work.

"The best exercise is the one you actually keep doing" is probably the best thing to keep in mind here. I kept seeing these same lists of exercises, then downloaded all sorts of apps and even subscribed to classes, but the initial excitement wore off pretty quickly.

One year then I took one item (it was the burpee, but it could be any of them really, the point is not having to think about what exercise to do all the time), and from a January-1 on I did one more burpee each day. This proved to be an easy to make a habit: "c'mon, you do have time to do 5 quick push-ups" took away the excuse factor, and by the time I noticed I've already set aside 5-10 minutes per day for some regular exercise.

As someone who totally geeks out about my editor (vim, what else!?), I can understand that.

However, I'm pretty sure that out of the many, many developers I've worked with, including some brilliant ones, I'm one of barely a handful who gives much serious thought to editors. This could also reflect a bias of location - HN'ers are more likely to geek out over editors, but I think in general people in Silicon Valley tend to care more about this, as opposed to people in Israel, where I'm from.

I do sometimes ask similar questions about more technical topics that the candidate should be familiar with, e.g. which DB do you use (backend engineer), which JS framework you use, etc. This is something that the strong candidates must have brushed up against, and should have a strong opinion about.

Bezos can say whatever he wants about eternal 'Day 1', FBA and FMA are 'Day 2' features to the core: they're fragile, anti-customer features that only serve Amazon's logistical needs at the expense of customers. If anything, Amazon falls victim to data-as-proxy (which he also decries) in thinking these features are good. The Bezos letter to shareholders is a good illustration of what Amazon should be doing, not what they are, and why they're currently struggling as a business.

When Amazon puts their operations and money where their mouth is, I might believe them.
> regulations that are less specific in the text of the law often yield cumbersome lawsuits and may end up with a huge volume of case law

Yes, but at least you have the chance beforehand that someone will say "this is not specific enough and will yield cumbersome lawsuits". If it's super long and complex then either a) there will be cumbersome lawsuits over parts of the law that are not completely consistent or b) the big guy with the big legal team will always win by default.

We (scientific research institute) are currently operating a relatively small commercially supported Openstack (Liberty release) installation next to our HPC infrastructure and so far it works quite well.
Of course, because we are using Openstack from a commercial vendor, the installation/provisioning is quite straightforward (although there is quite a bit of complexity, if you want to do a lot of adjustments). So far we didn't have any big troubles during operations and our users (researchers) have started to use it (creating VMs for specific applications).

We will hopefully upgrade soon to the Newton release which will enable us to provide SaaS (Murano) and CaaS (Magnum) to the users. We will probably also evaluate Openshift on top of Openstack.

The biggest pain points is the integration with our existing HPC infrastructure (specifically the parallel filesystem/storage).
We haven't really looked much at the code except of debugging some authentication issues, when we tried to integrate keystone with our core IT's AD, so we can't comment on that.

Additionally, the official openstack documentation (the commercially supported one is quite superficial) is often very confusing and it's very hard to find proper CHANGELOGS for each of the openstack components.
Also we really don't like (or rather despise) openstack's issue tracker (Launchpad).
It is very hard to find any existing issues, when we encounter some problems.

When an ARM chip reaches the performance of a Xeon, it'll draw about as much power as a Xeon. There is no magic - computation has a minimum energy cost.

What can happen is to make chips simpler in that less computation is spent in instruction decoding, tracking, scheduling and more is spent on actual execution.

BP is a great full body workout in an hour. Hell, I did a ton of Bodypump. I did BP when they used New Zealand cover music. We did our squat track to the Haka.

But I can't stand the pop music now and I had definitely plateaued. At a certain point, I ventured out into the weight room. While BP got and kept me in shape, I'm now a big believer in the Stronglifts 5x5 workout. Yep, I walk around the weight room with my iPhone. 90 seconds between sets. Check off my set.

Ah! the fear mongering. There is science and then there is stamp collecting. This report is more like later.

These reports must be taken with grain of salt. Not only the study is dubious but it essentially talks of all coral reefs across the world doing extinct. There is good chance that coral reefs will reduce in their size over next few decades but they are unlikely to totally disappear. Neither will the jobs and other opportunities disappear with it. A rare coral reef is a bigger tourism destination.

Also $1T is a figure I will totally ignore. If we have to protect coral reefs it is because it is an important part of ecosystem that I would like to conserve for my kids and grand kids (and I would like to pay for the conservation efforts too).

I think the probability that US will go into another recession over either war or some other government scheme gone wrong is much higher over next 30 years. We will likely lose lot more that $1T that time.

Alternative perspective:

The Wii U was a failure because of an utter and complete failure at marketing, of the same kind that doomed the Dreamcast back in the day.

* The name is awful, and led to frequent confusion about it being an addon to the Wii.

* It got almost no advertising, especially when compared to the Wii, and especially the Switch (which got a freakin' super bowl ad!)

And then the more technical concerns:

* Poor support all around. A number of first party franchises like Metroid never even had a mainline game on the system, and we know the third parties were absent.

* Dual-screen concept doesn't map well to a TV. Star Fox Zero is a crying shame because of this. The game is a pain in the ass because of the switching between screens, and it could be so much better without it.

* Expensive: $350 at launch.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't think the console's under-powered-ness was the big problem. Nintendo's been developing consoles that are hardly cutting edge for well over a decade now. I think the problem was the marketing failures and the low attach rates convinced the third parties to not even bother.
I got mine from walmart.com fairly easily - just entered my email in the 'alert me when back in stock', got an email a few days later, ordered, and got the switch delivered 5 days later.

The only hitch was I had to order a bundle (switch + zelda). And zelda, strangely, came a few days after the switch.
