Like most emails send nowadays use HTML but still include a text/plain part. Here's a live example from my INBOX: https://svkt.org/~simias/mail-hp.png

Notice that this is from HP, not some small shop. Nowadays people expect you to be able to parse HTML emails and don't bother to have it work in plain text (I'd actually prefer if they got rid of the text/plain in this situation, this way mutt would know to display the HTML instead).

If AMP becomes popular enough and gets integrated by the big players I have no doubt that we'll see the same thing. Then it means you won't be able to process email in any significant way without a full blown Web engine (probably including JS).

First they ported everything to the web, now they're porting the web to everything else. I don't want the web. The web is bloated crap. Stop it. Please. Stop it.

> it's like a version control commit.

As an alternative to mbox/maildir/whatevs I've been toying with a prototype of email storage that works in a content-addressed way with objects very much like how git operates internally.

> Our Cyrus server already internally keeps a blobId which is a digest of the binary content of each MIME part. Which means you can easily tell that two attachments are identical without reading the contents or guessing based on size and name.

This deduplication property then comes naturally from the above design, and not just for attachments but also for email headers and bodies.

Many other things come easily such as rsync "just working" for fetching, or making use of git packs[0]

Tool is not on Spotify or Google Play Music. I'm not sure if they are on Apple Music or Tidal. If anyone knows for sure, please do comment, I'm interested to know.

Also, Spotify has 3 Volor Flex albums, but is missing the one I usually want - "Unlit". I'm pretty sure that specific album is on Amazon Music though, oddly enough.

This isn't a particularly substantiative comment, just some datapoints that irk me about Spotify's inventory.
I think they're arguing that, if you bring your own domain, they still know what domain they're storing email for (by checking the reverse lookup) and they could look up the name behind it in the registry.

They don't want to be put in the position where they know what natural person a certain email belongs to.
It's already been done!

It was Shadowrun lite, which is awesome. Now that they have a movie that rates well with normies, they can go deeper and expand (and probably even make a series out of it).

A lot of settings that are actually interesting only really work as long-form episodes--Babylon 5 or Angel for example would've been a garbage movie.

Bright was essentially a large pilot. I'd be really interested in seeing what the production side of the house is learning.
That's an unfair statement. The Monero Research Lab has several full-time PhD'd cryptographers who are paid for by crowdfunding from the community, just none who are specialised enough that they can comfortably sign off on the change. I think it's a good thing that those researchers don't overextend and act like they are all-knowledgeable.
I don't think people need a reminder of that. The US government also isn't a monolith, as J. Edgar Hoover's abuse of power as the head of the FBI reminds us.

VPN has always been marketed as a silver bullet that protects you from all the evil that exists on the Internet. Only if people were little more aware about how it works, they'd not fall prey to such tricks.

That said, as we discuss this of HN, there will be millions out there falling prey to FB.
I've put it in the second example. People can manage their bitcoins by themselves, but instead they let exchanges manage it for them. So all the problems of centralization (exploitation of users, market manipulation, big time theft, etc) can be found in the bitcoin ecosystem as well.

You see the same history repeating, just a lot quicker. Therefore I assume whatever you do with blockchains will become a centralized system as well.

PS: If you think about it, as technology cash is even more decentralized as bitcoin. Yet banks happened.

I co-founded a business, specifically around email testing, largely for the reason you mentioned. When developing we often skipped things like plain text, and usually only did a cursory glance over other aspects, very much less did we automate anything. It came back to bite us so many times (presumably countless times that we weren't alerted too also).

Obviously I'm entirely biased, but to your point on business-minds pushing for edge I'm even more convinced that manual testing alone is never going to cut it going forward.

Shameless plug at the bottom as it's rare that email testing gets limelight on HN :) https://mailosaur.com

It should be noted that all non-tokamak approaches to nuclear fusion offer cheaper costs than ITER. Tokamaks like ITER are an outlier when it comes to projected/actual costs. I'm going to avoid listing my personal favourite fusion project yet again on HN, but what I will say is ITER is not the only game in town, and there's lots of promising research being done into non-tokamak designs.
They could also put the e-mail address in Google and find out who I am...

I get and respect that they want to provide a way to use their service without identifying yourself, but stopping a customer from voluntarily identifying themselves is fairly futile, and counter to how many people intend to use e-mail. (Indeed, they offer payment by bank transfer or paypal, so clearly they do not insist on full privacy)

Well, luckily they have direct competitors that offer the full range, so while I'd love more players in this segment I'm not directly affected by them not wanting such customers (and I find the argument questionable enough to reconsider recommending them in the future)

Peter Thiel bought a 477 acre sheep farm in New Zealand. How long can he really expect to survive there and with what quality of life if Armageddon happens?

I don't think he's on record saying that's why he bought it and the Sam Altman quote taking about a deal with Thiel to fly there in the event of societal collapse sounds more like a joke between billionaires than a means of survival.

It seems like someone wrote an insanely long article about a rumour about why a billionaire bought a secluded piece of land.

While i do agree with the progress Linus has made, Linux in most organisations is still problematic in these areas. But i am not sure illumos is better. I think it would but...

Why? Usability and operational cost. You can get containers and ZFS and eBPF... but you need really recent version of the kernel, which are not supported in most distros (there is still a huge amount of machines out there stuck on 2.X line). And they have a really big cost of entry.

Containers are still really hard to use reliably, epoll is still a mess, eBPF still has no high level frontend or books on using it, and ZFS is far from "turn key" ready on Linux.

Can you do it? Yes. But it means your infra team will pay a high cost and there are no real vendor to help. Is it getting better? Alledgedly for some things like eBPF yes.

But for ZFS, no hope until license change. And for containers, i stopped believing we can have zn easy to use, secure by default container system on Linux. Hell Docker kernel panic the host far too much.

So i do think there is a place for something like illumos... but lot of work still to be done.

PS : also virtual networking. We need a real thing here. This is already making some company come back from containers.

What If Men and Women Skied Against Each Other in the Olympics?
systemd still has a race condition when handling forking servers. There's no way to atomically send a signal to a cgroup, so what systemd does is read the PIDs in the cgroup and then iteratively send SIGKILL to each one. However, between reading the PID and sending the signal is the classic PID file race.

There is a way to atomically send a signal to a traditional process group, however. What I do for my daemons--at least, those which create subprocesses--is have the master become a new session and process group leader using setsid, open a master/slave PTY pair, and assign the new PTY as the controlling terminal. Child processes inherit the controlling terminal from the master, and if the master ever dies then _all_ children with the controlling terminal and process group will atomically get SIGHUP. As long as your subprocesses aren't actively trying to subvert you, it's bullet-proof behavior and more robust than any hack using cgroups.

There's still the issue of figuring out how to kill the master process. Ideally the master process never forks away from, e.g., systemd. (Not sure if systemd will try to kill it directly, first, before relying on its cgroups hack. Also, sometimes becoming a session leader requires forking if, e.g., the invoker already made you a process group leader.) But if the master must be independent, the best way is for the master to be super simple and just have it open a unix domain socket to take start/stop commands.

But let's presume we want a failsafe method in case the master has some sort of bug and we need to send it SIGKILL. (This is what I always assume, actually.) No matter what you do there'll always be a race. However, the least racy way to get the PID using a PID file is using POSIX fcntl locks. fcntl locks provide a way to query the PID of the process holding a lock (no reading or writing of files involved; just a kernel syscall). Importantly, if the process dies it no longer holds the lock and so querying the owner cannot return a stale PID. So when I use a traditional "PID file", I don't write the PID to the file, I just have the master lock it. There's still the race between querying the pid and sending a signal, but at least you're not leaving a loaded gun around (i.e. a PID file with a stale PID written to it).

This method is no worse than systemd and arguably better in some respects.

Oddly, I don't think systemd even bothers with process groups. That's a shame because it's really the only race-free to kill a bunch of related processes. systemd could provide the option to spawn a service within a process group and to send SIGKILL to the process group first before resorting to the cgroups hack to pick up any stragglers (i.e. those that intentionally left the process group). It could even provide the controlling terminal trick as an option. But it doesn't. AFAIK it just use the imperfect cgroups hack.
Mostly because nature presents little intent. This is also why fractals are not considered art.

If an AI is able to present intent clearly and consistently (uhh, intentionally) then it might be able to produce art.

So far, I haven't seen any purely AI work that meets this criteria. They can have style but lack the "story" quality of the art built on shared language, culture. Essentially grammar and semantics of given art form. Problem is similar to though harder than making AI really understand language.

These system generally end at style which is like an ensemble average of syntax.

There are no "insiders" with Monero. Just like many FOSS projects, everything is developed in the open and entirely transparently. The first time anyone has visibility on PoW changes is when someone comes up with specifics and opens a PR, and as can be seen on the current PR there's little chance that the first pass is the one that will go in.

I think Sam's original statement on this was from the New Yorker piece a while back [0], where Peter describes him as "not particularly religious, but he is culturally very Jewish—an optimist yet a survivalist, with a sense that things can always go deeply wrong”, I don't think preparing for collapse is just a joke. Earlier in the article, Sam says "I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force"

As for the sheep farm, I don't know any more than you, but I'm sure a billionaire going to these lengths is also capable of preparing a decent shelter.

*> die Maedchen (Mädchen), but is actually das (neuter) due to the -chen

Yes, that's true. Roughly speaking, little and cute means neuter. [1]

To confuse you even more, however, note that "die Mädchen" is still correct, but for an entirely different reason: It means plural! ("the girls"), because it happens that the plural of "Mädchen" is the same word "Mädchen", and that the plural neuter noun marker "die" is exactly the same as the sigular female noun marker "die". (Moreover, also the male and female plural noun marker is "die".)

[1] Now that I think more if it, that's quite progressive in terms of gender-equal language and early childhood. (But many other aspects of the German language aren't, so don't expect too much here.)

Regarding point 2, the only drawback I'm aware of with D-T fusion is that it still produces nuclear waste (whereas aneutronic fusion produces zero/close to zero nuclear waste), however the nuclear waste produced by D-T fusion is said to be:

* Smaller in size than the nuclear waste produced by the current approaches to nuclear fission.

* Has a shorter half life than spent nuclear fission fuel, meaning that it doesn't take as long before it's safe to take it out of storage.

Aside from nuclear waste, are there other drawbacks to D-T fusion that people should be aware of?
