Having dealt with this stuff quite a bit, I'd caution about keeping all your transactional mail siloed. True, many emails may seem not worth having in a business user-friendly ESP where your marketing emails live, but if you keep transactional email on a separate system, you lose a lot of visibility into the role of those emails in your business unless you incorporate them into an analytics system elsewhere.

A check confirmation email, account renewal notice or other transactional email couple play a critical role in your funnel or with combating churn. If you don't have it married up with everything else, you'll lose a lot of that insight.

Any ESP friendly enough for a business user will likely have an API for sending programmatically. Rates might be a bit higher over something like SES, but that may be worth it depending on your scale. It also let's business users manage templates and such without needing to have an engineer touch code, and the reporting is all there.

I realized recently that Serverless is to developers as credit cards are to college students.

Remember when VMs came out, and people were like, great! Now I can constrain the resources of my OS! I can run 10 OSes on one machine! I'll save so much money !

Then we gave individual teams access to create as many VMs as they wanted, and suddenly all the hardware was used up.

Now do that, but in the cloud, with unlimited resources.

What's wrong with the regulations? It seems that they're designed to prevent cars from spewing toxic shit into the atmosphere, something that seems to be an admirable goal.

Ask HN: How can we take the politics back out of HN?
Lately more and more discussions have devolved into ideological flamewars based on political opinions and rumors. This thread is a perfect example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17488716

Someone casually mentions something inflammatory which "everyone knows is true", of course someone else needs to correct them, and then those of the original opinion need to correct them.

I've been guilty of this too, and lately have been deleting comments before I post them upon reflection. What am I gaining by trying to "fix" this person's worlds view?

Can't we all just be nerds talking about cool tech again?
I'm planning to in the next release. There might be a few visual bugs, particularly with RTL languages, but that's no reason to wait; better to just fix them as they're found.

We did the same, and my wish-not-really-a-wish-but-maybe-a-wish is that we talked to her less (insert laughing with sweat emoji here).

She was an exceptionally loud baby, just constant stream of (non-crying, mostly happy chatter) noise coming from her mouth and we encouraged it by talking to her like a normal adult, and eventually those sounds turned into syllables, words, then sentences, and she's entering teenhood now, and she literally has not shut up except to sleep.

I'm an extrovert myself so she probably inherited it from me, and maybe our engagement with her from infancy is only partially responsible, but spending an entire day with her is mentally exhausting.
I confess I only worked on small projects and all the movement/trajectory/obstacle avoidance functions were implemented manually, so this didn't cross my mind.

It really makes sense to rely on the ROS packages, I will look what is available, thank you.
Definitely agree with that, it's a tough balance between code quality and efficiency. But at least as a beginner that is trying to learn new things, you usually don't have to worry much about things being supported later on compared to just getting something out there/working and improving as you go along.

I am tired of the tribalism. Engineering isn't just hostile to women, it's just damned HOSTILE.
The difference is, I don't think China has the reach the U.S. has, (if you're outside China).
Interesting how the article makes no note of the Collison brothers' and Stripe...that's a significant Valley success story that doesn't fit this mold
Nissan has gone from being a sought after sports car brand to the second worst manufacturer in Japan. They are lucky that Mitsubishi makes cars in that respect. After Infiniti took the near premium market, Nissan went down market and now makes cars that are sold to subprime buyers en masse. I remember when the early to mid 90s 300zx turbo came out I put that car on a pedestal as a semi attainable near super car. Now they just make commodity crap cars that all look exactly the same. Sad to see this decline.
If this article is genuine (there are many comments arguing it might not be) I would consider it an excellent endorsement of RISC-V. If a company with an awesome engineering, like I consider ARM to be, is scared to the point of authoring some FUD, RISC-V has to be _really_ promising!
I'm willing to believe that there are sometimes problems that are inherently complex, but I find that much of the time the problem is complex only because you've insisted it be complex. If you take a step back and re-examine the problem you often see that redefining the problem makes everything much more simple.

But it is. If people/their government are not prepared to defend what's unpleasant for them, it means they're not entirely dedicated to free speech in Voltaire's sense (“I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”). Who knows, what minority opinion will they decide to ban next?
The regulations might have a good aim, but when everybody is violating them it's probably safe to say something is wrong with them. I don't know if the problem is in the content or in the enforcement, but it exists.

I don't think criticism of regulations should replace shaming of auto manufacturers, but it might be more effective.

> Western Digital’s leadership role in the RISC-V initiative is significant in that it aims to accelerate the advancement of the technology and the surrounding ecosystem by transitioning its own consumption of processors – over one billion cores per year – to RISC-V.

Western Digital is moving to RISC-V. I'd say ARM has begun to notice the shift and needs to begin damage control.
KISS has a favourites bar and you can set up the largest list to sort by frequency of use, so most of the time I can do something similar.

This mindset is exactly the problem: you’ve judged the regulations on their goal, rather than their effectiveness and how they interact with the industry’s incentives.
My experiments showed that you can get good character-based diffs from using a syntax highlighting tokenizer. [1] It was faster than a pure character diff algorithm, but the resulting diffs/patches are interoperable, and provided quite reasonably semantic diffs on the examples I tested. Most tokenizers are great too because they tend to operate very well with work-in-progress code or broken/edge-case code (because they are the same sorts of tools we use in our editors).

I've not seen someone actually use it for source control, but the core idea is simple enough for the taking.

Just a quick fact check. Howard Buffet was temporarily unemployed during the Great Depression. By the time Warren was 9 years old his father had a successful brokerage and was elected to the Omaha Board of Education. By the time he was 12 his father was elected to the US House. He went on to give Warren the initial investment for his investment company.

Warren didn’t grow up with unemployed parents.
And if the opening statement of the article is to be considered correct, noop is by design the only way to do things since its simplicity will always win against trying to create more complex code that does the task.

"The single most important quality in a piece of software is simplicity. It’s more important than doing the task you set out to achieve. It’s more important than performance. The reason is straightforward: if your solution is not simple, it will not be correct or fast."

It praises a quality that is great as an add-on, not really by itself. Pretty sure everyone prefers a complex thing that "does the task" than a simple one that doesn't.

Simple "helps". Simple never "does". I think the author's values are a bit mixed up.

That would be amazing, and I hope it happens. Even though I'm guilty of getting into ideological debates as well. I always feel dirty afterwards, even when I believe I'm right. I really would prefer to keep HN focused on tech / business, and keep the politics out as much as possible.
If it’s applicable to 20% - 30% of people for whom we previously didn’t have medical studies on, this could prove a boon to medicine. In addition for the vast majority of things this is applicable to 100% of people.

Following the rise of the mattress in a box startups like casper, leesa etc. the south american market has begun to adopt a similar model, focusing on quality and customer service such as Nezt (https://neztsleep.com/colchones-memory-foam-element-info). They have also recently started adopting the low cost approach with more accessible mattresses. Any thoughts on the next developments?
Indeed, I use PyCharm as one of my IDEs. I may try CLion for embedded C/C++, but this is still restricted to ARM basically (and CLion supports CMake only, which is the least bad of the C/C++ build systems in common use, but still this is the kind of baggage that comes with an IDE which is not a problem with 'UNIX as IDE').
Some people would say the same thing about learning to code.

That doesn't mean it's true.
Yes, it's from arm, who has a vested interest, yes it's in poor taste, and yes, it's stretching in some places, but it's not necessarily inaccurate...
A friend who was the co-founder of a very large company in the early 2000's that went public told me two things shortly after meeting him:

1) Take having fun seriously

2) Getting lucky is fine

I know he worked hard on things, but basically his point was that he was very lucky and in the right place at the right time.
Which is why everyone uses OpenBSD instead of making a tradeoff with a different OS that isn't designed as securely.

This sort of thing isn't like a speeding ticket where there's a cop just sitting by the side of the road looking for someone to give a ticket to.

The infamous Microsoft/IE case happened because someone, Netscape, was unhappy enough about the event (and had the resources...) to make a compelling enough case to convince a court there was anti-competitive behavior that was causing harm.

That is super cool! Thanks for sharing!
I haven't read the article yet, but one of the things that does stand out is that Germany (and Europe) used 1435mm track, whereas Russia used 1520mm track. This would have caused a major break of gauge in Poland, which would have been one of the causes of supplies desperately needed for front-line troops (such as winter coats) getting stuck in Poland.

The German military in WWII did not distinguish itself with good command of logistics.
it's not about what the regulations AIM to do, it's what they achieve, and also if they could feasibly achieve something closer to their aim, which is what was suggested.

that's to say, if emission testing was done differently, maybe we would have caught these cars earlier. Now it seems likely every single non-electric car on the market is polluting more than advertised/allowed, which begs the question if there is a systemic issue here. I tend to agree that there is.
I have encountered this so many times with enthusiastic and well-intentioned but non-technical founders that I created a quick presentation around it. Maybe other folks will find it useful.

I think the implication is that the regulations were poorly implemented and didn't test true emissions. I don't see how anyone can view these stories as an indication that emission regulations are a bad idea or somehow aren't needed.
While I wouldn't choose a new architecture so eagerly, existence of this page (if real) does to some extent validate RISC-V as a potential solution.

Just like a manual transmission that doesn't have a diagram on the shift knob. You need to take apart the engine if you want to find out. Or grind out the gearbox a few times accidentally trying to put it in reverse at 50.

And you can get a refurbished Chromebook for as little as $110, walk to your nearest free Wi-Fi source (Starbucks, McDonalds, local library, whatever), and go to a site like REPL.it or Codecademy and start learning how to program.

Or get a used TI-85 for ~$30 and learn that way, which is how I learned the basics of programming, 25 years ago. Back then those cost about $250, adjusted for inflation. A Chromebook is much more versatile than that.
Do you think a lot of people are running JS in a container for frontend? I wouldn't consider a webserver container a "JS container", even it were mostly serving a React/Vue/Angular app.

I recommend the following book that details the U.S.S. Indianapolis.

In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors
by Doug Stanton (Mass Market Paperback)
This story misses a lot of points about the disadvantage that persists. It’s not that the wealth gap prevents people from buying computers. This hasn’t been true in US for over a decade - one can buy a fully programming capable machine for $300-$400. Better yet, you can rent Amazon or Google servers for a few cents at a time. I never imagined that as a kid.

Where there is will, there is a way. My first experience with computers was in a relic of Soviet Science agency, when I was 5. Until 2000s, it was a struggle just to get equipment to connect to the internet (pulse phone lines burned out tone dial-up modems).

The advantage I had is that I knew about computers and the power they held. I knew that math was the gateway to programming. I didn’t have funds for a fancy new IBM or Apple, but I had knowledge enough to make things work.

I still meet people today on a daily basis that regard computer work as some kind of borderline magic that they can never comprehend. This is the real disadvantage.

I mostly blame our education system and the teachers that tell kids it’s ok to not understand, that they are just “not good” at something.

If we can solve this attitude that mediocrity is ok, we’ll make a lot of peoples lives better.

Grave of Swedish child that died in Stockholm terror attack is vandalised
Regulations are obeyed and enforced by humans. There’s a general expectation that common sense is applied, which is hard to define but “you know it when you see it”.

“The engine will fundamentally perform differently when you’re testing it because it will detect the test” is not common sense and is not a reasonable interpretation of how to comply with the rules.

I agree that a better method would be to attack sensors to a random (and ideally, concealed from OEM) sample of cars and charge automakers per unit of detected emissions. That would force them to optimize for real world driving, which is much harder to game.
Joke: A man walks into a picture framing shop and says: "I'd like a 10cmx10xm frame for my 10cmx10cm picture, but make it negative 12.5cm away from the picture." The shop staff is confused, but makes a wild guess: "So you want a frame with each border 2.5cm on the other side of the picture than it would normally be?" The man just takes a note and goes to another shop.

He collected the wild guesses from various picture framing shops and posted them on twitter, getting a lot of attention on Hacker News as well.

Based in Paris, Legalstart is a leader in the European legal-tech space that aims at revolutionising legal services, starting with making access to justice greatly easier, especially for businesses creators.

Since the launch of the site at the beginning of 2014, Legalstart has experienced a very strong growth. In this context, we are looking for highly motivated developers to help us extend our product base and grow internationally.

At Legalstart, we strive to improve our technical skills, that means challenging the status quo (we shipped a small blockchain-based product in production), continuously improving our practices (we introduced Haskell in our codebase for algorithms prototyping), staying close to the local community (hosting meetups, conferences)… Also, Legalstart engineers develop a strong ownership of the product itself, and we really value their personal growth.

Apply there if you feel up to the experience!

On my device (Galaxy S7, Android 7.0), it does affect the status bar. Same for one of Night Screen's dimming methods, which claims not to affect the status bar.

At some point, I'd actually like to reach out to the developers of the (several) screen filter apps on F-droid to see if they're interested in collaboration/merging. It seems silly to have so many of us working on the same kinds of issues, independently.
>Frustratingly, there are few mechanisms for banks to communicate with each other. “In the US, there is a web portal for banks to contact each other on these issues. Here, it’s just email, Blomfield adds. “Sometimes we are even told to use a fax.”

Interesting. In many ways the Americans are far behind (still writing checks, lack of chip and pin) but in this arena they have Europe beat.
Well what do you suggest then? I mean, the current regulations seem to have caught a number of car manufacturers faking test data and presumably they will be punished.

I think we can agree that the goal is to reduce dangerous emissions, but if we're not going to have regulations that state a limit and perhaps a penalty for abuse, then how?
10 Types of Application Security Testing Tools: When and How to Use Them
In the Seattle area, cars made after 2009 aren't required to have independent emissions tests - the car's ECU is trusted to give an accurate result.

To test cars made before 2009, they put a probe in the tailpipe. It's like the regulators have sold out, and gone full capture.

> You don't get to cheat on a test, brag about how you passed, and then if you're discovered, claim that the test was too hard. Too late.

It is the competition that pushes you to such extremes. If others are doing it, then what is to stop you.

Too much regulation and court procedures are preventing others from coming out and blowing the whistle on themselves.
