Hopefully this is actually a MUA, and not a search interface with message-mode sprinkled on top?

I tried using notmuch on emacs as my primary mail client for several months, but it falls short on so many things (just to name one: cannot delete messages, cannot have copies in multiple folders, cannot apply a tag to an individual message without passing by the threaded view first, no notion of folders, and so on...). You can work around most of those, but it's just a work-around.

It's right that it's "not much" of a client. Notmuch combined with afew is incredibly powerful as a backend. But it's not a particularly good mail client.

You can use notmuch efficiently with neomutt, which is a great combination (excellent MUA with fast backend).

But for something closer to a real client on emacs itself, mu4e is much better. It supports identities out of the box, and has no silly limitations imposed by blind message-id indexing. Unfortunately, mu (the backend) has no concept of batch tag processing, which made certain operations very convenient [one thing I did was killing threads I didn't care about - currently impossible to do with mu alone].
Why not send them into a log aggregator for search and long term storage and logrotate on the server so you don't get this problem? Hell, why not logrotate anyway and keep multiple smaller files?
This is a continuum... in many statically typed languages there are regularly used paths that lead outside the realm of the language-defined type system as well. Consider dynamic class loading in Java, dlopen / reinterpret_cast in C++ etc.

Nothing about Samsung products are high quality. I’ve owned Phones, Tablets, microwaves, dishwashers and other appliances. The quality has been middle of the road to crap across the board.

Samsung jumps into new features just to jump in, doesn’t matter if they work reliably or not.
If Apple would buy anyone it would be a flash memory supplier. Which they are almost doing (Apple-Bain Consortum purchase for $18 billion). There was a recent price hike on their store on larger flash memory sizes.

I think the pet thing is more balanced than a straight up anti-perk, because in situations where everyone is happy with it, it can be very nice to have. But it's certainly not for everyone, and you don't want to make someone feel like they're the "spoiler" if everyone else is ok with it.

Ultima Online’s influence, 20 years later
I'm probably being trolled, but I'll bite.

How big are the "real-world codebases" you're talking about, and how many programmers are working on the code? Once you hit 5-10 million lines of code and/or thousands of developers, static typing really helps manage complexity.
A Progressive Introduction to JavaScript Testing
It's been a long time, but Marco Cantu's books are widely considered some of the best Pascal/Delphi resources available. Essential Pascal is his introductory book.
creating jobs is not exploitation, it's opportunity.
One very simple and significant cost is developer time. It simply takes less time to write code in a dynamically-typed language. You don't have a compiler to please, you don't write extra code to massage types, annotate types, etc, and most dynamically typed languages are pretty elegant (i.e. Clojure), where you can pack a lot of punch in just a few characters.

So the trade off is: static typing gives you more compile-time certainty, but at a cost of spending more time developing your code. Dynamic typing gets you to a working product or prototype typically much much faster, but with added run-time debugging.

Each has its benefits and costs.

In my experience, there is no doubt that dynamically typed languages are faster-to-production than statically-typed. This doesn't mean that I don't admire static typing, though, because most developers appreciate some degree of purity in their work.
If you have to write a test for every line of code you write, the "chatty" argument against static typing goes away.
I noticed that too. The graphic is also missing all context, like what countries the companies are paying taxes in, which matters because different countries have different tax rates, and just because one company is paying more taxes than another doesn't mean it's doing any more to "pay [its] fair share to the national economies", it might just mean that it has more revenue in countries with higher tax rates.

What about the time accounted for in each of those buckets? If "that 1%" accounts for more than 1% of debugging, error chasing, and related time it starts to look more important, yes?
Upgrading blockchain for machine to machine transactions
Thanks for the pointer. I guess I could also have written a small program or script to go through the file. Regular fopen and fread should work. However the vlf package does exactly what I looked for. Only prerequisite I can see is that one must compile Emacs with bignum support on 32bit systems to read files greater than 512M.
A distributed web site using a blockchain is what I'd proposed as a solution the the DCMA ad block debacle.

The movie business and playstation lines alone would make sense for Apple. Most other product lines would be liquidated. The playstation technical employees would probably not have any job changes. I would suspect the codebase of Playstation would remain the same, except for supporting Swift as a language on the platform.

I'm not sure how long the Apple and Playstation stores would take to be integrated, but they would probably make that happen.

Beyond that there could be many opportunities to integrate apple hardware with your playstation account.
A flex health and wellness stipend is a fairly regular perk of even large businesses, and it is usually this lax. Mine can be used for an Apple Watch, for instance (due to its heart rate monitor).

If nobody has announced it, and there are no known exploits in the wild, it's not public. It could be available on 0day marketplaces, but that doesn't mean it is being widely used. It's probably less likely to be widely used if it's a valuable 0day.

But this isn't about shutting off a service to protect a company's bottom line. This is a vuln affecting consumer devices. SLA has nothing to do with it. People's home networks and devices, not to mention a myriad number of embedded devices and sensors all over the world, are going to be affected by this - not corporations protecting customer data. Affected consumers have no means to patch themselves. Releasing this before vendors could generate patched packages or firmware is just monumentally irresponsible.
I dunno, technology goods continue to drop in price and awful lot of America benefits when the S&P 500 ticks up. A decent treatment of the effects would have to address those points (among many others).

But I don't assume anything in my above comment, I point out a possibility. Note the "it is possible" and "It depends".
Dropbox | Engineering | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite

Dropbox builds what is (by some measure) one of the largest distributed systems on the planet -- hundreds of millions of devices syncing amidst each other, pushing around both data and metadata at a scale that only a handful of companies across the world could muster.

We're hiring for pretty much any role you could imagine, but I'll give a particular plug for the team I lead here: Sync Platform. Sync Platform houses all of the core sync logic that makes Dropbox tick, from the core sync engine itself to the metadata stores on the back-end and the sync protocol we speak between them. We're rebuilding significant pieces of our entire stack in preparation for the next ten years (as we've already been around for ten). These are some of the biggest changes to sync since the company was founded.

We're looking for motivated senior-level engineers. We write mostly in Rust, Go and Python. We do a lot of distributed systems work, so expertise there is a bonus but by no means a requirement. Keeping our user's data safe and consistent is sacrosanct so most important is a strong attention to detail to ensure that we do right by our users. Equally important is an ability to work constructively in an diverse, equitable and inclusive environment.

> What we desperately need is a real, useful micro-payments model where you can pay per-article.

Former news editor here. I have spent a loooong time thinking about how to help my beloved news industry find a payment model that works. I've become convinced that a "cable subscription" model has more promise than a micropayments model.

Here's what's wrong with a micropayments model. Each microtransaction is an additional cost incurred by the user, and in many models that cost can vary based on the website visited and other factors. And so every single time you choose to engage in a microtransaction, you have to do some brief mental gymnastics to determine whether the transaction is valuable enough to you to proceed. It may be only a few cents, so for many people it's not a big deliberation, but the decision is always there, every time.

The benefit of this approach is that there's very little economic waste involved; you pay only for what you buy. But it encourages stingy, penny-pinching behavior, and that's horrible for adoption. If you want broad, mass-market support, it's a big problem.

Under the cable subscription model, you pay a fixed monthly fee for access to a large number of "channels," and in return you can access those channels as much as you want.
Under the hood, that subscription fee can be doled out to each channel based on how much it's accessed, or divided equally, or by some other method in between. But to the end user, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, and they just don't need to think about it. Part of the fee they're paying is for content itself and part of it is for the convenience of not having to regulate usage.

The downside of this approach is that there's more economic waste involved; some light users won't get their money's worth and will end up subsidizing heavy users. But it discourages stingy behavior, and that's great for adoption.

Later on down the line, once the cable-subscription model has been widely adopted, the market will eventually demand more a la carte payment models (we see this happening right now in the fairly mature cable television industry).

But for right now, widespread adoption should be the primary focus of any online payment model. Ultimately, a good number of the major U.S. news publishers would need to get on board, and to date they have been relatively unwilling to cooperate (which may be due to regulatory hurdles). But I'm pretty sure that's what needs to happen. Less sure whether it will be enough to save the industry.
Won't they pay after reading the article and decide if it's worth it?

Y'all can email me directly at lus@karat.io - I'm an engineering manager who discovered interviewing at Karat through a Who's Hiring post last year. I love working here and am happy to chat!

We're essentially looking for folks who are technical (eg, you'll have to read a wide variety of code and identify bugs and complexity) and social (eg, you'll have to host interview conversations and be warm and encouraging).

We do 1-on-1 technical interviews online. You can set your own schedule and work from home.

From the Job Posting:

Interviewing is broken. Karat professionalizes interviewing.

Hiring top talent is a critical activity for all companies, yet the way organizations interview candidates is broken. Interviewing is a time consuming process that is rarely data-driven. Here at Karat, we see a massive opportunity to transform the interviewing experience for every candidate and company.

Karat is on a mission to assess the world's talent. We are the first dedicated marketplace for technical interviewers. Karat's network of seasoned engineers conduct the first rounds of technical interviews for elite engineering companies. Our robust platform saves teams thousands of valuable hours while allowing them to focus on the top performing candidates. Karat's unique approach recognizes that people are central to the hiring process and that they can be supercharged by leveraging machine learning and our rich database of the world's interviews.

We face incredible demand for our service and are delivering significant value to elite engineering companies like Interana, BuildZoom and Minted. We are funded by top VCs including Formation8 and Founder Collective, plus the founders of companies like Glassdoor, Mulesoft, Lookout, OPOWER, MediaLink and CAA. Karat is headquartered in the University District of Seattle, WA.

Join our elite community of Expert Interviewers.

> But what had been presented as a democratic town hall was revealed to be a densely interwoven collection of parallel media ecosystems and political infrastructures outside the control of mainstream media outlets and major political parties and moving like a wrecking ball through both.

Tip to HN commenters: don't indent block quotes and break them up into lines. That is for code formatting, and it makes the quote hard to read on a mobile device.

Instead, put the quote all on one line in this format without indenting it:

> *Quote here.*

Or the quote can be on multiple lines (newlines and spaces are interchangeable), as long as the lines are not indented. Just add the > and * at the beginning, and another * at the end. This will put the quote in a reasonable format that works both on desktop and mobile browsers.

If the quote consists of multiple paragraphs, I like to follow the above formatting for each paragraph separately. Put a blank line between each paragraph so they don't run together.

And then be sure to check the format after commenting. It should look like the quote near the beginning of this comment. If it doesn't look right, edit to fix it. And no, you do not need to add an "Edit: fixed formatting" note. That would be silly, just fix the thing.

HN's comment formatting options are rather meager, so this is about the best we can do.

I noticed that you recommend 18 years old or older. How does this differ from a company like Cord Blood Registry[1] which evidently takes and stores cells from the umbilical cord?

Your lifetime plans are attractive and your company opens up the possibility of storing stem cells (and their blue-sky future healing promises) for children who missed out the first time.

A comparison could help others decide and migrate over once their kids are 18.

I agree that it feels weird, but wouldn't this fund also help pay for a babysitter? It doesn't seem too unreasonable to consider your pet as a member of the family.

Ok, I store my stem-cells with 37. And then? Can I stop aging forever or is it just for fighting diseases later?
