It is important to pay for email services and support the diversity of email companies.

Paid services tend to have good support and care for their users.

Users of free email service that hit a problem (ie. password lost), are essentially screwed. The free email service (gmail/yahoo/outlook) will not give proper "manual" support to solve that problem. They are so big and this fact essentially makes the users of free email services just another user (worth nothing). The big brands that provide free services will not care about your problem when you go in trouble.

Users that only have free email services, should really consider testing paid email services. And slowly move all their emails into a paid email service. But dont forget, it is very important to use purchase your-domain.com and use that in signups. Never use your-user@gmail/yahoo/hotmail/outlook.com to signup. Because when the user uses @gmail/yahoo/etc they get locked in and it gets hard to move out of the free email services after a while (because all the friends, family and websites will only know your free services email).

Another important point to note is, the only secure encryption is end-to-end encryption that the user has control of. For example openpgp. Users that care so much about encryption should rely on openpgp. If encryption is so important, dont belive the servers and use openpgp. No matter what, when the email is sent, its sent in plain text. So openpgp is the only way to send it in plaintext encrypted.

Paid services will care more about the user than free services.

Start with one of these:

runbox.com
fastmail.com
hushmail.com
protonmail.com
tutanota.com
lavabit.com
mailfence.com
posteo.com

and ditch:

gmail.com
yahoo.com
hotmail.com
outlook.com

Spread the word to make your friends and family aware and also make the move to paid email services.

And never forget to purchase a domain and use that to receive email. That is the only way to not get locked in the email service provider.
A little off topic, but I greatly admire generalists: Dr. Patterson (along with Dr. Fox) taught a good Coursera course on agile web development with Ruby and Rails. Quite a departure for an originator of RISC architectures!

I think Dr. Patterson makes a great point on there being plenty of headroom in the increase in software efficiency.
I mean, if your work hours shift to deal with school time changes your sleep schedule is going to be disrupted anyway…
I’ve been using it since the 1.0 timeframe. The SEO went through the roof on my low traffic few post personal blog when I switched to Gatsby.
I'm not finding anything historical about companies abusing the free software community, but that chapter of history is still being written. There are examples of playing unfairly to gain dominance from the 90s through 2000s here though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...

I am simply proposing that they are now in the "extend" phase with linux. It has been embraced. Now they will extend it (via the dev process, not the codebase) until it is unsustainable, and then it will be extinguished.
If you like stuff like this, follow curiousmarc on youtube. He volunteers there and helps with restorations, and does all kinds of cool restorations at home, too.
They can't pretend to produce the final product in my shed manufacturing business. Their rents and ramen depends on them filling orders that customers paid for, not the grump who retorts to nitpickers on HN.
I think the idea is that people stop optimizing for speed as soon as it gets "fast enough", and what "fast enough" means doesn't change at all if you make better tools and machines.

Faster machines and tools only really matters to people who are trying to do things that are currently never fast enough to put into production.
I wrote a very reasonable text explaining my position (when I did the online vote) in wanting to abolish the DST bullshit and then when deciding which time to choose I'd prefer winter time for this exact same reason. I'm not oblivious to how painful sad, mad and traumatizing it was waking up to go to school in pitch black. As if I care about a few more artificial day hours at the end of the day. Just let it all be consistent and let my body adapt correctly to the changes that occur naturally over the year in how the sun changes. Noticing the sun adding or removing time daily or weekly is a relaxing thing. Much more than suddenly my perception being changed abruptly and not feeling where and when the sun is at all for weeks after DST change.
Technically Sask is always on DST, right? That is, its solar noon is at 1pm, not noon, which compared to time-changing areas is DST (summer hours).
I don't care how smart he is or the fact that he created the Linux kernel...there is NO excuse for being unprofessional and a dick.
That's what Saskatchewan does.
I just don't think the online news media will learn anything from tangential HN discussions so we might as well do away with these types of comments and either discuss the article's content or not visit the link at all. I think that's the proper etiquette, unless of course there's something exceptional worth noting.

I too wish this terrible UX was an exception, don't get me wrong.
I tried using Gatsby for a project of mine. The moment I tried to do anything not supported OOTB, it seemed I was fighting the tooling (and webpack) at every corner. It was incredibly difficult just to get a simple tree navigation.

One thing I thankful for though is that it gave me a new-found love for the simple and non-flashy libs/tooling.

In the end, I wound up writing my own static site generator.

https://github.com/pauldotknopf/statik

You may say to yourself "So you just wrote your own Gatsby!?"

No, I didn't. I wrote a thin lib that you can register endpoints and extract them to disk. It does absolutely nothing else. The idea is that I will wrote my own markdown rendering, navigation, html/css, etc for each project. "But what about the time it takes to implement all the features you need!" The time it takes to implement these minor things take far less time in the long run, and I will never have to be in an endless fight with the tooling to get simple tree navigation. Every feature I implement is exactly what I need, no more, no less.

Sure, it isn't as cool as React, webpack, etc. But I'm a lot happier.
They could offer to retrain these people in new technology instead of just laying them off and hiring new people.

Yes they could but seeing that most companies don’t, why not just accept reality for what it is and study and keep yourself marketable? I’m in my mid 40s and I make it a point to stay qualified for the well paying developer/architect jobs that come in my email. When I see that the company I am working for isn’t going to keep me marketable, it’s time to leave.
Sure, but in the case I was talking about the UK switched to BST (i.e. GMT+1) year-round. This has the effect of making it darker on winter mornings.
Honest pay for honest work.
Too be fair the article is discussing 2 separate bills. One is to support R&D for advanced reactors and one is to help subsidize current designs so some of this discussion is a little confusing from the different contexts.

I'm not sure subsidizing our current tech in the US will make a difference, but the amount of money in public and private sectors right now for advanced designs needs to be more collectively focused towards building demostration reactors such as the fast neutron reactor being proposed.

It is also difficult for American companies (despite having designed and built a majority of factors globally) to currently compete against state actors like China or the Russian government. That is another critical reason we should be developing leading technology because we don't necessarily have good reason to trust other countries to design and build these safely globally which could lead to more nuclear disasters. The best example is Chernobyl which was a wildly dangerous avoidable accident that should have never happened.
That died pretty quick

This surprised me too, but apparently it's not as bad as that. Containment and cleanup is dangerous and expensive, but not impossible.

Chernobyl is maybe starting to be re-inhabited?

>The idea that you should be able to shield or blind yourself to content is a flat out stupid one.

I must be stupid, because I don't understand why I shouldn't have this right.
See my top-level comment. I've had bad experiences with it. It is a bohemeth, especially considering we are just-ish turning markdown into html.

There is way too much ceremony.
For a lot of problems performance really isn't the problem. In many, many cases the engineering cost to optimize C++ to get a benefit over Java / C# will be way more expensive than just paying for more servers. Even in game dev where milliseconds matter C# is very common.

Personally I agree about dynamically typed languages not being great for large projects but that's more about maintainability than perf.
Languages don't really die. Especially not popular ones.
The problem here, is that you are half-right. Its localized conditions. No country, much less worldwide, system can account for local anomolies.

Where I learned to drive, most humans could 'see' black ice by predicting where water will pool, the recent weather, and subtle clues that abound, but are not easily expressable. Any out-of-town'er would surely be spun out or driving 10mph, white-knuckled, aghast at the "maniacs" flying by at normal speeds. While in my college city, I had to relearn everything, as it was rainy, and the drivers hyper agressive, and 15mph faster. The same model would struggle to encompass both modalities.

Until AEB stops accidentally triggering constantly on colleagues cars, I have zero interest in trusting my life to an algo connected to a 300hp steel cage.
How does IFPS index new content that's added to the stackexchange network daily? And/or how long does it take to add new data?
How so? My being hired by a company is based on value proposition. It has to both be worth my time to work there and they have to be able to make as much money as they can off of me. How else should a company decide who to hire?
> "Android has better UX..."

ruhr? </scooby-doo_voice>

i have both an android and an ios phone, and i'm comparatively amazed at how bone-headed android UX can be. it's also a hot bed of paralysis-of-choice (in both apps and in settings/configuration). sure, ios has issues here and there, but (to me) ios is generally more intuitive (==better UX).
No DST means that solar noon is always at 12:00. While useful for figuring out what time it is without a watch that's a less common occurrence nowadays.

DST, on the other hand, pushes daytime later, so if you wake up at say 8 (after sunrise for most of the year) and go to sleep at midnight (after sunset), you see more daylight.
That is wonderful to hear
Everyone using UTC would be chaos. Imagine organising a remote meeting - you’d have to figure out which hours each party would be awake, by googling “waking hours in Germany” for example.
IBM recently forced remote workers to move back to specific offices. Those who couldn’t or wouldn’t move were let go. I expect that policy adversely impacted employees over 40 whose families were unable to relocate due to school, spouses jobs or caring for aging parents. My cynical view is that IBM likely knew that was the case and enacted the policy specifically to target those over 40. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some emails from executives so excited about their scheme that are still discoverable. Probably a good power point deck on the benefits too.

Would that have been illegal?
Saskatchawan has some of the northernmost respectably-sized cities in Canada, and they also have lots of rural farming which means endless long winter drives on snow-blown roads.

Your original statement was, "This is more of a political issue than a cultural one." I'm not saying it's not political, I'm saying it's also cultural, when we revere and lionize people like Jobs and Schmidt rather than putting them in prison.

Law is a tool for managing human wickedness. If we weren't wicked we wouldn't have invented law. That shows trivially that character is more fundamental than policy, eh?
Hey Bryan, thanks for this. I agree that surfacing the data for use elsewhere is the best path forward and it's on the road map. My concern, being so early, is spending time building the wrong thing / adding the wrong integration when I don't know exactly how people will want to use it.

Don't know if it applies to dentists, but I know surgeon's offices are open only 3-4 days a week because the other days they are doing surgery. When I saw my dentist office was only open 4 days a week, I figured it was similar- they weren't actually closed, but they didn't schedule standard procedures at that time.
Can you include links to some of this research? That is fascinating.

I have a friend who is an extreme night owl who has long said then when he sleeps matters far more than how much—but in a negative sense. Even if he gets as much as 10 hours of sleep, if he has to go to sleep early in order to wake up early (6-7am), he’ll be miserable. If he goes to sleep at 3am and wakes up at 9:30am, he’ll feel great despite having gotten much less sleep.
A lot of managers are only looking for short term "savings" that they can use to "prove" that they are doing a good job and to advance their careers. This is so common that they won't even think twice before doing something that hurts the company in the long term.

Here's something that seems shockingly under-explored to me: languages that incorporate relational data structures natively.

We have SQL of course, but SQL is not a general purpose language and is (intentionally) often not Turing-complete.

I'm imagining something like Go, Ruby, JavaScript, or Rust with native tables, queries, and other SQL-ish relational data structures.

The long term goal would be to kill the age-old impedance mismatch problem and eliminate CRUD code. Toward this long term end the language runtime or standard library could actually contain a full database engine with replication/clustering support.
This is exactly correct. The problem is solved by dozens of paper reactors or waste storage plans that do not exist. We can develop these things and we already invest tons of money into R&D which always gets allocated stopping short of fully developing the technology. We should either quit investing into the technology on a research level or start actually developing it.
Commentators on Popehats article with more experience than me in Cali defamation law have also pointed out that California has a "totality of the circumstances" analysis of defamation, meaning that all of Musk's statements would be evaluated together rather than separately.

And to the dead comment below: 8 figures is simply $10,000,000 or more, which is a fair amount for a series of defamatory statements made to a worldwide audience during a time of significant publicity. Any apology Elon makes would have far smaller of an audience, meaning that if there is a large possibility that people heard and believed the original statements but never heard Elon's apology. Also, Popehat is a well-established legal commentator on the field of First Amendment and IP law that is frequently cited on HN. Torts/defamation is a little out of his bailiwick but his analysis is relevant to this HN discussion.

Ok, and what about discrimination against young people? I can assure that that discrimination against young people is significantly more prevalent. It is just wrapped up in pretty words about "experience" or "maturity".

Nobody seems to care about the 18 year who can produce a lot of good work, but isn't likely to be paid even a third of what an equally capable 40 year old makes. How is that fair?

Hi Michi, you say the app is written in Clojure(Script), does that mean the desktop Windows and Mac versions are in Electron, or are you using something else?

Not an Electron hater here, I use VS Code (along with Emacs).
For those of you who believe Wil's post, what actually happened was he got bofa'd and kind of went crazy. He started harassing other users, reporting anyone who said anything remotely negative about him, and going to the point of digging through users' old posts to find anything negative they might have said in the past, and when instances started blocking him, he used alt accounts (or assistants) to continue to harass people on those instances (this happened on at least one instance I know of, and I'm assuming it happened on others). He wasn't the victim of an internet mob, the people reporting him were doing so with very good reason.

And to put the cherry on this awful sundae, a lot of the people he was harassing were trans people, the very people that he caused such terrible problems for with his Twitter blocklist.

Coal has the that risk as well, it could actually be worse because of the lax regulation. See fly ash spills for reference.
Calling bullshit on an argument that is not made from fact is not being uncivil. I'd argue that making an argument that is such bullshit is far more uncivil than saying the word "bullshit".
For more magical realism, definitely give Gabriel Garcia Marquez a try. It doesn't feel quite as foreign as Japanese culture, but it definitely captures the same kind of mystery.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is generally regarded as a good place to start. It's one of my favorite books and has so much character and imagery that sticks in your head.
Just fix your schedule...

Edit: downvoted for asking people to go up at another clock time in order to match the daylight, instead of going up at the same clock time and changing the clock to follow daylight.

Really? What's so important about the number on the clock? Why not just be consistent with daylight, and let the clocks be normal?
Some muscle is consumed in a state of caloric deficit, yes. But muscle isn't the body's first choice for fuel until you enter into a state of extended caloric deficit. If the opposite were true, then triathletes would consume a pound or more of muscle during their training activities and especially during competitive events, instead of burning visually significant quantities of fat.
And, again, you were wrong about that. There are numerous reports from embeds in the campaign detailing how stunned the campaign was at the loss on election night.

> If Sweden or Germany doesn't want DST, good. Vote to abolish it. In your own country. But why should Italy and Spain be forced to do the same?

Currently they can't because DST is an EU regulation. This action is about removing the regulation. Individual states are then free to do whatever they want.

This is why this whole EU thing began - Finland wanted to get rid of DST but couldn't due to the EU regulation so Finland went to the EU to have it removed and now it will be.
I have only seen this service being mentioned on HN...
Hello! We are launching a product that we have been working on. This idea came from working on another project we launched over a year ago. We saw that deciding which features to build next for our users wasn't always easy. Sending out emails would mostly go unanswered to get user feedback. We didn't want to build features that our users weren't looking for.

With that, we decided to create Feedmo. It is a simple widget that allows you to engage directly with all your users and gives them the ability to upvote or request new features they are interested in. You can also send notifications to your users to let them know when a feature launches.

Check it out! Any feedback is welcome! :

Because most of the time there is greater variation within a group than there is between groups. If you use group statistics to judge individuals you will be wrong more often than if you don't.

But beyond that, we as a society have decided that in many cases the benefits of using group based heuristics aren't worth the damage done to individuals within groups who are judged negatively.

Imagine you toss out all resumes with non-white sounding names because white people are statistically more likely to have x, y, or z characteristic. Even if there is a correlation to some characteristic that you are looking for (more likely to have a college degree, statistically higher income etc...), the damage you do to the individuals in the groups you are tossing out far outweighs any benefit you receive.
So would Rust be one of the languages you'd advocate including in the chosen few? Does Rust's approach to memory management put it more in the C group in terms of debugging for performance?
If you get into classic Japanese literature then have some fun and start at the beginning with Murasaki Shikibu's Tale of Genji written about a thousand years ago. From around 1905 after the Russo-Japanese war when Japan was starting to feel good about itself you have Natsume Sōseki's I am a Cat. As Yet I have No Name but it all depends on what genre you like.
Sometimes they should ask how they could afford not to.
I'm not sure I understand your question? The point is to stop changing times twice a year. If you do that, you have to pick one of two GMT offsets: the one you were using in the summer or winter. Picking either one solves the problem.

Plastic roads: India’s radical plan to bury its garbage beneath the streets
The problem is it's not actually a problem unless you consciously remind yourself it is. Put bluntly, me using gmail has 0 negative impact on my everyday life.

What does have negative impact on my life is

1) paying for stuff (always, no matter how wealthy you are)
2) specially when it is less convenient
3) and has worse user experience (hard to beat gmail here)
4) while also having to invest time in educating yourself about alternatives and setting it up
5) and actually migrating to it, spreading the new email address, transferring data, learning all the ins and outs of the webmailer (if you use it)

Solve for some of these, do it really well and you have built something that people will be happy to use.
