Agree, getting to where you are going is much easier if you get into Apple Maps prior to engaging CarPlay. Recently I got trapped in a location that CarPlay would not let me out of but when I disconnected the phone from the car I could get back to entering my desired destination.

I am not sure if UI elements went off screen or there is a bug/quirk when its active. However it selected a destination from ages for me when connected.

I just find it odd than when I use CarPlay to play music the UI is actually worse than if I use the car's built in display to show what the phone/ipod is playing. It was like Atari 2600 vs modern display type differences
Hey, author here! I'd been thinking about how all the advice, discussions and books that have sprung up around white board algorithm interviews makes them seem more inevitable than they actually are. Discussing different kinds of interviews can help candidates do their best, rather than being surprised or knocked off balance when they encounter these recent interview formats.
One thing I'd like to see covered is sender dependent outgoing mail routing.

For example, suppose I have things set up so all outgoing mail from my home goes through my SMTP server. If I send an email with a from address of tzs@mydomain, then the setup in the article is perfect.

Suppose, though, I send an email from home with my from address set to tzs@employer, where "employer" is my employer's domain? Assume this email is not to an @employer address [1]. With the setup in the article (and in almost every other similar setup I've seen covered in similar articles) this might run into spam filter issues unless I've convinced my employer to add my SMTP server to their SPF record.

The way I want this to be handled is for my SMTP server to see that the mail is from an @employer address, and instead of trying to deliver it directly, relay it through employer's SMTP server.

This is similar to the common "smart host" configuration often used when you run an SMTP server at home, but want it to send all outgoing mail through your ISP's SMTP server instead of trying direct delivery. Essentially what I want is a conditional smart host based on the from address.

Postfix supports this. In fact, it seems to support it in a couple different ways. I played with it a bit but could not quite get it working.

What I'm doing for now, until I find out how to do it right, is only send work email outside of work from my desktop Mac. I took tzs@employer off the list of mail aliases for my mydomain mail account, and created a second account in Apple Mail for @employer. I set the incoming mail server to POP3 on 127.0.0.1 so that it would fail, and set the outgoing server to smtp.employer. It complained for a while that it could not contact the POP3 server, but eventually stopped complaining, and the address in the configuration dialog changed to 0.0.0.0.

With that setup Apple Mail sends mail from @employer directly to my employer's SMTP.

Sometime recently, after an OS update, that stopped working. It would no longer let me enable an account unless it could successfully talk to the incoming mail server for that account.

I did find an ugly workaround for that. I gave it the correct address for employer's POP3 server, and the correct password. Once it was happy, I went to Keychain Access, found the saved password for the POP3 server, and changed it in Keychain Access to something incorrect. Mail then complains that it cannot login to the POP3 server, but that does not cause it to disable the account. Net effect: a send only account in Apple Mail. (It is important to do the password change in Keychain Access, not in Mail, because Mail won't save the change until it sees the new password work).

(If that had not worked, I probably would have written a dummy POP3 server that always reports no mail and used that).

[1] This happens reasonably often for me, because I have my mail server set up to use fetchmail to fetch my incoming work email and deliver it via procmail. Same for any other SMTP accounts I have. That way I only have to configure mail clients to work with mail server and I get access to all my mail from all of my non-web email accounts.
I'm thinking of the Wallet Card they used to have:

Google Wallet hasn't behaved the same for me since.
Electron embeds Node.js, of course, but from a platform standpoint feels sufficiently different from a Node.js server application (the more traditional use of Node.js) or console application (a growing usage of Node.js) that it can be useful to make a distinction. Especially, because the bulk of an Electron app in my experience is running in the Chromium web renderer process(es) ("client side") than in a more traditional Node.js process.
I've worked under an HR staff member who had this pin on her bag. I lived, and that job was good enough, but the thought was always in the back of my mind: what if I piss her off some day and she falls back on her prejudices + her position to make my life miserable?

I would support a blanket ban on all things like that _in the workplace_.

When I read that comment, I thought "I see where you are coming from, but clearly you are exaggerating". Then you left your comment, which claims to disprove it, but has in fact conclusively demonstrated its truth. Mozilla is apparently competing favorably with the 20th largest charity in the entire US?! Yeah: this is like the American Heart Association saying "we finally have managed to allocate one full-time employee to look into the connection between sugar and heart issues" :/.

You do realize that there are a lot of non-profits, right? I went to a meeting in Santa Barbara that was just people representing various local non-profits (or people who were thinking of starting a non-profit), and the room was packed. I remembered them saying something like "there are almost a thousand non-profits right here in Santa Barbara". I just did a quick search, and found a site saying that there are estimated 400-1000 non-profits in Santa Barbara.

So yes: it is (apparently, as demonstrated by your "rebuttal"), entirely fair to say that Mozilla "is one of the richest charities in the world".

I was expecting this to be an excoriation of Peterson rather than a rather even-handed overview of his principles. Seemed pretty fresh to me for NYT standards.
Jordan Peterson fans are the most tedious and pedantic logic nerds I've ever encountered. Reading his subreddit and his stans on Twitter you'd think his main teachings were (1) Argue dictionary definitions for hours, (2) Never respond to someone's central point, just pick out secondary or tertiary sentences and point out their logical fallacies, and (3) If all else fails, say "that's not an argument" with no explanation.

Yeah, I think you can just make a half-twist instead of a full twist like the article does. Or any number of full turns + 1/2.
If an individual who I have never met before approaches me wearing a pin that says "kill all men", it is not my responsibility to understand the years of philosophy reading that have caused them to express a totally reasonable and nuanced perspective in very easily misunderstood words. It is 100% reasonable for me to expect that those words mean what they say, and not some other, more subtle meaning that I am unaware of.

Even if this is actually true! Even if it is actually true that "kill all men" expands into this reasonable position. Because I have no access to what goes on inside someone else's head. All I have access to is what I see.

And when I, a man, see a person with management authority over me, wearing a pin that says 'kill all men', I get scared. This is not appropriate for a workplace, no moreso than any white supremacist garbage is.
I'm asking this as a legitimate question. If it's a "solved problem", what's the solution?

I'm personally a reluctant Thunderbird user. I use it, I don't mind it all that much, but I can't say it's a delightful experience to use. But it does give me access to my email when I'm offline, and it lets me do GPG for sensitive email.

I'm going to take a nuanced response to this because frankly that anyone would want or need a segregated platform is stupid, but yet that need/want does exist.

If you have a team all from the same background (say a prototypical startup, everyone white, upper middle class and went to Stanford), that team will suffer from groupthink and will miss opportunities and/or challenges to different groups. These can be minor issues or can be big PR blowups like when facial recognition systems can't recognize the difference between people with dark skin or just missed opportunities. In general, the solution is to try and build teams with a diversity of backgrounds.

How do we do that? If you have applicants come in from different backgrounds. But what happens if you're never seeing any diverse applicants apply? Are your recruiters/hiring platforms redlining (intentionally or unintentionally) and preventing candidates from applying? At that point you go out of your way to reach out to diverse candidates. They still have to go through the same interview process, but you're adding them to the funnel. If you're more familiar with marketing, then you know that digital advertising, direct mail, billboard ads, radio ads, tv ads etc will hit different parts of the population (with some overlap). You can't just go through one marketing channel because you'll miss a large customer population. This is essentially the point of these targeted hiring platforms. The ideal is to use these platforms to combat unconscious and conscious bias. This works as long as they're used in ADDITION to other more generic platforms.
I deleted all of my social media profiles, i.e., unfriended and unfollowed everyone and then deleted my account. It's been a huge plus for me.

What I've done to replace it is email and call people. I'm 42 so many of my friends are receptive to calls that younger people may not be so ymmv.

I'm sure you know this, but your true friends will be there offline whether you see them online or not.

Good luck!
So you'll often build two or three test versions of the sat that you subject to serious, and sometimes destructive, testing to simuluate launch stresses, etc. So if a given satellite blows up on the pad, they can use these test articles as a backup. So they don't really start from scratch..
I think the distinction is that Graham's Number is a "useful" number; i.e. it was used to help answer a problem. As you note, G + 1 is larger than G but G + 1 has (so far) no known significance.

BTW, I totally geeked out reading about Graham's Number. Thanks to the OP!
Occultist texts fall into a unique fiction genre, which, not unlike magical realism, has the constraint of having to reconcile with the mundane laws of reality. That makes it so fascinating.

Depending on your faith, you could perhaps place religious texts into the same genre. The permanence power of this kind of storytelling throughout time and cultures cannot be overstated. I think humans crave it. That also explains why I felt so giddy when I read the announcement, even as someone who hasn't read much outside of tech stuff lately.

> If someone says "Kill all men", I will believe that what they mean is "kill all men".

What do you think someone means when they say "I'm gonna kill the person who wrote this"? Do you call the cops?

> You seem to infer immunity on the part of those you deem oppressed from having their statement being taken at face value but don't extend this same courtesy to those you deem oppressors.

There's a long history of men oppressing women. There is no history of women oppressing men. So when someone says "kill all men" they can't be referencing a history of oppression. On the other hand when someone says "biologically, women are worse engineers than men", they're referencing a school of thought that has denied women basic human rights and still has modern adherents.

My point is we're not on the verge of a male genocide (it feels ridiculous to even type this). We are always on the verge of taking away freedoms from women and people of color. So I think we need a more nuanced rule than "face value", or whatever.

> Would you be happy to initiate a calm thoughtful conversation with someone who tweets out that "Women are ruining this great nation" or would you call for their firing and censorship?

Censorship? Nah. Firing? If they have an important position then certainly. The same way I would advocate that if they said "Slavery was a good idea" or "Nazism has a lot going for it". We know slavery is wrong. We know Nazism and fascism are wrong. We know misogyny and sexism are wrong. Protesting the patriarchy or being angry about it isn't the same thing.

I'd also be willing to have a conversation with them though, so "both" is the answer to your question I think.

> Individuals have different ideas on life and that's ok but the workplace is not the right place to discuss controversial topics unless the freedom of expression is extended to all view points, and there has to be an understanding that feelings may be hurt on both sides.

Global warming is "controversial" despite being obviously the truth, but we can't move forward on addressing it because we continue to pay lip service to people who just don't believe in it. The same is true of feminism, economics, the criminal justice system, gay rights, immigration, and so many other things. I do care what people think and I want to treat them with respect and consideration, but that doesn't trump our right to things like equal pay, clean air and water, due process, etc.

Or to put it another way, at some point I don't care what bigots think and I don't think they should dictate policy. I don't have to agree to listen to the KKK at work if I want to be able to say that women deserve equal pay. That's nonsense.
In this particular article I find it most interesting that they conclude with a tale of bad happenings to one who, instead of debating his views, "distorted, simplified and restated his views to make them appear offensive and cartoonish." This from an article that chose to characterize the readers of one of his books as, "men who feel fatherless, solitary, floating in a chaotic moral vacuum, constantly outperformed and humiliated by women, haunted by pain and self-contempt." This degree of lack of self awareness and coherence, and in such a brief article, is really disappointing from the NYT.

I think calling it peer is misleading/imprecise, since in the context of the internet peer/peering refers to the interconnection of two networks, having your own AS, running BGP, etc.
When I saw the headline on HN, my first thought was: "Just the one?!"

A typical startup might deploy anywhere from 3 to 15 engineers on a product such as Thunderbird. Considering the amount of legacy it's saddled with, let alone the competing interests around e-mail in general, hiring a single engineer to work on this thing sounds like a token move at best, and likely a terrible waste of that person's time.
