I used mutt for years, but missed a folder-overview that updated dynamically.

That made me switch to mutt-patched (the debian name of the package), which included the excellent "sidebar" facility. The sidebar gives you a list of all your folders you could scroll up and down, and was easily visible. You could also toggle it to show folders which only contained unread mail.

Over time I got annoyed that this still wasn't flexible enough. What if you only wanted to show folders which had received only new mail in the past 24 hours?

In the end I wrote my own console-based mail-client, which uses lua for scripting:

https://lumail.org/

This allows me to automate many things, for example I can mark each mail about a system-backup as read - if it succeeded, this level of automation isn't possible easily with mutt. Having a _real_ configuration language and binding functions to keys is very very handy though.

I didn't ever expect my client to become super-popular, as it seems few people choose console clients these days, but it is nice to see that it has a little bit of love.
GDPR enforcement starts soon. This is a European privacy law WITH teeth. It applies to all companies with European customers including Europeans living in the US. There are several components, but one of the big changes is disclosing everyone that your data is shared with and making sure that you have gotten consent for all the data being shared. I would guess that 99% of US companies have to update their privacy policy and terms of service in order to comply
GCP has the best compute, storage, and networking of all the clouds. They are cheaper, faster, more scalable and more reliable than the others. Their managed services leave a lot to be desired (beta status, non-standard interfaces, and other limits) but if you're just looking to run VMs then that is the perfect fit for their cloud.

We consolidated everything on GKE now which lets use use VMs but still have the kubernetes control plane looking after things for us which has been great so far.

Being actively anti-social-status is itself countersignalling - you signal that you're not the kind of person like everyone else out there. I think the only way to escape this is to honestly not care - e.g. choose clothes based purely on utility.

I used to feel like that, but as I grew up I realized that social landscape is also part of the environment, so there's utility to be gained by being mindful of what you signal with your clothes or other status symbols. A suit, for example, might not be the most comfortable thing to wear, but can help you navigate the job market and acquire support of other people - in the same way a good pair of mountain shoes can help you navigate rough terrain.

He has a point if just by the math. I get it you want to support women, but many companies do discriminate against perfectly qualified men in order to get that. There is a far smaller supply of qualified women in engineering and engineering leadership right now.

I've been on a team before where one member was adamant about throwing out resumes from white men for the sake of diversity. I know it happens.

So yes, the company probably did partake in sexism and discrimination to get there. Otherwise they are very lucky and a statistical outlier when it comes to qualified female applicants applying.
People on HN like to talk trash about Amazon and that's fine. All that I ask is that you don't do an AMZN_warehouse_worker == AMZN_SDE / AMZN_SE kind of argument. Warehouse work is boring, it's low paid, at the end of the day you're tired and you're dirty, and you didn't make a lot. During the winter it's cold and during the summer it's going to be hot - logistics companies heat warehouses just enough to keep product from freezing. The closest thing to a computer is a hand-held wireless barcode scanner. Them's the breaks of being a box b for any large logistics / supply chain company. UPS, FedEX, DHL, or UP, none of them are tech companies so we don't talk about them but the reality is supply chain is very price sensitive, the industry is low margin and competitive, it's not romantic, and it's classist. No one turns down Stanford to work the graveyard shift unloading tires. The people there will be randomly drug tested and they will be checked on occasion when they're leaving. Argue there is honor to any job done well and I'll agree with you but stop with this Amazon Logistics goes out of it's way to be cruel narrative.

About 60% of cars imported into New Zealand are used cars, and New Zealand doesn't manufacture any cars. By the time a car has finished its life in New Zealand, it ends up on a scrapheap. There is no appreciable car export industry in NZ.

It's important to recognize that this is not an exploit or high-tech exfiltration: it's extremely well-documented in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.... and https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/reference/FB.... - the Facebook library even assumes that potentially multiple scripts may be checking repeatedly, and caches accordingly. Facebook is incentivized to make it as easy as possible to integrate their login across the internet, and that entails removing any requirements such as server-side processing that would discourage every tag from including this code.

Maybe I am reading this wrong but if Facebook makes an assumption which is inherently unsafe and publishes it. And then someone utilizes the unsafe assumption to siphon data, the ball is still in Facebook's court. They have to ensure that scripts cannot do this.

Sure, this might make it difficult for anyone trying to develop using Facebook library. But that is still better than asking people to read T&C and ensuring data is not leaked.
That's countersignalling. "I have so much wealth/power and feel so comfortable with it that I need not prove it to anyone, unlike those nouveau riche out there".

I think you're right as shown by rich parents being more likely to have rich kids, violent parents have violent kids, poor parents, poor kids, etc. The trouble is, those violent people become parents too so they perpetuate the same problems. Without training, what's there to help whole cultures filled with poor parenting being passed on through generations?

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Having trouble reconciling it with my reasoning though, which is: if some group of people are overrepresented in some category, it is less likely to be a coincidence; i.e., I doubt it's because the people there are just less sexist than everyone else
So to sum up : you’re not collecting information, you just want the user to be able to retrieve what he has already done.

First, you should ask for an account creation only when the user have already started. As I said, I didn’t even see if it was interesting at all, because of the login wall.

Second, if there are no sensitive information collected, there is no need of using a mountain to hit the nail. A pseudo will be enough. No email needed. Not sure if it even need a password...
You store the pseudo locally and you are done.

(I agree I’m a little bit oversimplifying, but you see the point)
There are car rental services like gig car that don't have dedicated spots and work perfectly. Maybe we can just let people leave the scooters in car parking spots. I'm sure that would go over great.
His comment is dishonest. It claims that "By point-blank denying the experience of women, people of color, and others who are telling us that we have a problem, we diminish them and communicate to them that they are not valued and do not belong"

I am not denying anyone's personal experience or that there isn't a problem. I am rejecting the claim that SO, as a whole, is a toxic wasteland.

"Urban areas" includes where I live, which is not dense enough for public transportation to work well. Reading the article you cited, it looks like about half of the population labeled "urban" by the Census Bureau lives in areas that are like mine (or even less dense).
Part of the money that I pay for my own car goes in someone's pockets, so I don't understand why that matters.

But when I lived in that city, I'd have paid far less overall if I used car-share instead of owning my own car. When I park my own car on the public street, that space is dedicated 100% to me. When a car-share car is parked there, then several people benefit from that space.

Seeed studio's beaglebone green wireless is the real sweet spot for me. Right around $50. Wifi and bluetooth working OTB. I have no need for HDMI, or Ethernet, so giving these up is a win win for me.

I am with you as a fanboy of the beaglebone's ecosystem, given the fact that its now over a decade old processor, there are mountains of technical reference manuals if you really want to get low level with an RTOS, or just write your own kernel drivers. There are plenty of solid tutorials on Adafruit, as well as from Derek Molloy, and probably others I'm not even aware of. There is a nice ecosystem of shields, capes, or whatever the trademarkable noun we're supposed to use is. The hardware has gone through a boat load of permutations, to provide many things to many users, whether thats different variants of the standard credit card size board, or the pocket beagle, which is as spartan as it gets.

But as an observer of previous economic trends, as they relate to competing technologies, I have to say it makes perfect sense that Raspberry Pi is the market leader. If people wanted higher quality music, they wouldn't have adopted the cassette tape, or the CD, or the mp3. If people wanted higher quality video, they wouldn't have adopted VHS. The masses have so far always valued convenience over quality when it comes to gearlust.

But just like all entrenched players, someone out there will likely pull the rug out from raspberry pi, just when they think they've finally captured the market. My bet is on all of the Armbian boards, mostly Allwinner, but not exclusively. The BananaPi, OrangePi, NanoPi, etc are all pretty much at feature parity or better with raspberry pies they are clones of. They also have a pretty vibrant ecosystem with Armbian, which has great ncurses menus for just about everything that needs to be setup as an enduser. Besides the marketing push, I don't see a single thing Raspberry Pi does better than the Armbian/chinese clone ecosystem.
So T-Mobile's binge-on would be acceptable?

How did you get pricing and volume from Broadcom? I'm genuinely interested as that stopped a project I was working on completely cold.

That's a different but unrelated problem. In that situation, consider that official support is almost over for Python 2 and extended support from third party vendors is going to get nothing but more expensive with time. It will be harder to maintain those projects as the dependencies they use drop support for an increasingly obsolete release. It will become much harder to hire great engineers willing to work on legacy versions.

Basically, Python 2 is going to become a very serious technical debt very soon. It's past time to start paying that down.

You offer no evidence, only unsourced anecdotes. Reaching out to underrepresented groups is not the same as discriminating against massively overrepresented groups. How likely are women to apply to organizations that reflect status quo sexist attitudes? A reputation for fairness can act as a beacon for undervalued talent.
That's a valid point. I have made that suggestion to the Hugo devs[1]. Someone on Reddit also suggested using strconv.Atoi() instead of ParseInt(). I have added to the suggestion too.

Driving backwards is much more difficult than driving forward because the bike doesn't self correct that way and the steering is quite unstable.

I tried to learn riding backwards last summer, too. Eventually I stopped because I needed the bike for actual riding and my knees preferred having a freewheel. A ridiculously low gear seemed to help, I tried 40x20 (on a 622 with 165mm cranks) for a while.
It’s really disappointing to see organistions legitimize discrimination in their efforts to support diversity for the PR/talent acquisition signaling. Actively discriminating against white men is no different than discriminating against other races and genders.

Tesla isn't creating that narrative, their competitors are. None of the major US car makers really do want to make electric cars, that's just a fact. And few others do, with the exception of maybe BMW, chinese firms, and nissan, but even there you have slow-rolled updating to EV. Porsche is serious about it, but also are not trying to make a mass market anything.

> if Tesla's becoming a bad actor in their quest to be the biggest winner, than I don't think that's helpful

It's still super helpful. We need to advance our tech at all costs. It's the only thing we have on this continent. We've gifted foreign nations with our manufacturing industries and gutted the American middle class, and the entrails have been used to lift 250,000 people a day out of poverty since 1990. This is a serious gift and a serious tragedy at the same time.

Now there is nothing good about herniated disks from 16 hours of holding your arms over your head every day. I am not defending that. But you have to put it in perspective. Things are so damn good all the frigging time in America and Canada, _relatively speaking_, that we look at herniated disks from hard work like it's some great tragedy that should net each suffering worker $400,000 and a couple years off. But if you lived in China you'd be faced with taking zero dollars, or going to prison for complaining, or getting caught in one of the suicide nets on the sides of Foxconn.

So what's it going to be, guy? Are we going to stifle our tech because we aren't willing to break eggs to make an omelette? Or are we going to let go of our hatred for the tall poppy and let him do his job?

Let me finish by saying that Elon Musk inspired me to move to the big city and get a comp sci education 3 years ago, at this point I am now an intermediate-level dev with great prospects and without Elon Musk striking inspiration and courage in my heart I would be much more bitter and resentful and lame than I am now. So I will defend him to the end of the Earth for setting such a shining and glorious example for me to follow.
