Related, I've learned over the years to not trust documents (including websites) where it matters. That means yes, I'm going to read what you wrote on your website or in the documents you sent me, and then I'm going to mail you asking about it directly. Because I don't trust documents to be correct, up to date, or even relevant (in spaces I have little experience in). But if I can get a person on your end to write me back with an explicit answer, I can be reasonably sure it's correct in context, and - most importantly - I have someone to blame if it turns out to be wrong.
Which hosting service can host a local tunnel service?
If I want to make a paid service using a fork of https://github.com/localtunnel/server what kind of hosting service(e.g. heroku firebase) etc can I use? Ideally where I can generate most number of subdomains programmatically.
Thanks

It's a nightmare for any amount of time. The web browser is simply unreliable and I haven't been able to use it at all. I don't recommend this phone for anything other than texting and calling, even the music player sorts by name rather than track number in the album listings.
The best example is work requirements for Medicaid as implemented by some states (Kentucky for one), which end up making it difficult to stay eligible for Medicaid.
Motivate? Most definitely yes. Equip? Not at all. The American Dream (especially that pesky part about "opportunity") died long ago. If you're born with a chronic condition such as diabetes or your parents can't afford an education giving you the chance of a decently paying job, better go die.

That being said, just looking at the raw numbers I'd dare to say that health care in the US is just about as inconvenient and ineffective for rich people as it is for poor...

I've tried containers, and I really want to switch to Firefox because I support their aims, but I found containers really clunky.

It might have been the fact that they were tabs in the same window, and it made it harder for me to control/organise/understand what was in what container.

Especially when opening new tabs.

I can't remember the details but I remember finding it fiddly. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Your source doens't back your claim of:

"Their staff have openly called to subvert democracy,"

The key here being "openly" and a specific call to "subvert democracy". None of this happened, and your source does not back up this claim in any way. These are apparently in internal only threads, and they were merely talking about tweaking search results.

Internal, private emails threads are objectively not "openly calling" for something and merely "tweaking search results" is not "subverting democracy" in any sane world.

You are spreading misinformation at best.

Ask HN: How to turn a tuple/array into a grammatically correct question
I have a tuple with four quantities: time, amount, location, action

I am looking for resources to help me automatically form grammatically correct questions from these tuples.

So for example:
my_tuple = (11:30am, $20, online, buy)

I would want to form a question with at least two or more of the values. E.g

Where did you make a purchase of $20 around 11:30am?
How much did you spend online around noon?
What time did you spend $20 online?
What did you do online around 11:30am?

I have looked at the Stanford parser but that thing is a behemoth and would probably only tackle a piece of the problem. Any ideas?
I do the same thing, but my backup device is stored off-site, so it's pretty hard to make sure the backup device is connected to the same accounts as my primary ones. I currently keep a list of new accounts I've added and then periodically retrieve it and add the new accounts.

This is true, and it's because people doing that are not in it to solve your problem - they're solving their problem, which is "how to make money", with a solution that's shaped like a computer system.
Can you provide a few links to bugs for this?

I'd love to know the technical reasons behind that.

I’ve been using Boxy (https://boxyapp.co) for inbox for a long time and now they’re on to making Boxy Suite (https://www.boxysuite.com/) which should cover Gmail and Calendar once Inbox is deprecated.

Overall quite happy with them.
Not many, but it doesn’t take many to have an impact.

A historical parallel is the use of shortwave receivers inside the USSR to receive Radio Free Europe. It was illegal to listen to, and the KGB jammed it sometimes, but people listened secretly anyway and it was an important conduit of information into an otherwise mostly closed society.

Mutt is great if you're not often dealing with images or rich text, and if you love keyboard-based workflows. I was a mutt guy for a while.

> I have a nagging suspicion that Google hoovered up my browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, etc. in the guise of "sync".

It does save some state even when you erase all your history. You can log into GMail, then go to your history and click to erase all history, after which the history settings page will scroll down (to hide the fact you're still logged into this sync thing?), and then when you go to GMail you're logged in again, effectively making Google bypass you clearing your cookies.
I'm not about to speak to the intent of programmers I haven't interacted with heavily. In these sorts of charged conversations there is often an impulse to make issues about "this" or "that" exclusively. I find it useful to avoid that impulse entirely and instead focus on what I can do to make things better.
The "only x rooms left" notices are also BS, even if they're dealing with the big hotel chains. And even when dealing with those, there are frequent inventory discrepancies due to how long it takes for the systems to communicate with each other, so best option in my opinion is to always use the official hotel channels. It's also cheaper if you're a member of their frequent guest programs, which is free.
> a well designed process where both parties need to confirm the reservation (eg per email) could have made that experience better.

I just confirmed the booking by paying. I shouldn't have my booking cancelled because I didn't respond to an email. We can do better than that.

Luckily, there's no giant central food-supply IT system, which makes the food supply as a whole fairly fault-tolerant.

If there's anything that could make the software better, it has to be an economical incentive. Learning to build reliable real-world systems that rely on faulty software (you might call it IRL erlang) would be great, too.
The OPs statement isn't wrong, or even largely wrong, it is largely right. There was no statement of skipping all requirements gather, but skipping the idea that you can do one requirements gathering and have everything you need to develop the entire system.

Your push back to waterfall development is driving me crazy - we already tried that for decades and you can only get it to (kinda) work with a ridiculous investment that only makes sense for incredibly important systems, like launching a billion dollar rocket. And even then, you need iteration, just a more more careful, sandboxed type of iteration.

But what does the price of a VPS have to do with anything? I doubt hosting would be their biggest cost.
However, this created a great ecosystem where everything is usually cross-platform by default. With a lot of projects being developed in Go in the cloud ecosystem, developers can more freely choose the platform they want to develop with. Same story with tools written in rust.
Is it just me who wishes all the organisations supporting user rights banded together and hit the market as a viable 3rd ecosystem of products?

All the Linux vendors, all the distributed social media (PeerTube, mastodon, hubzilla), all the private search engines like duckduckgo, all the open source hardware like Purism...

Imagine them doing an EU and pooling all their resources to produce a coherent yet distributed, open and free ecosystem with a browser by Firefox, search by DDG, OS by Linux, phone by Purism, etc...

They could cross-support each other's efforts, promote eacother etc.

Sure, they've - allegedly - made it run faster but they've also removed extension support, blocked any ways to hack in a calendar (which could previously be done by adding a permanent browser tab pointing to Google Calendar) and seriously hurt legibility with its new design by removing dividing lines, decreasing contrast across the board and giving all the icons a bright random colour.

A real shame as there are no real alternatives.
I've liked Airmail, but it has a tendency towards weird bugs (e.g. adding gibberish attachments to email chains in large numbers). Email tools, imho, need to be 'boring', stable, and predictable, and Airmail never has been, any of the times I've tried to use it.
The original purpose behind the Internet was to build a robust layer-3 network based on packet switching technology. The designers weren't focused on the application layer.

Separately, I think we have enough history of working with the cloud at this point to demonstrate that major providers' availability is on par with, or better than, the availability of the typical small entity. Sure, the impact is potentially wider spread (although this can be mitigated with a cellular architecture, which first-class providers do employ), but there's a perverse advantage that when outages occur, they tend to get fixed a lot faster because the complaint volume is much higher.
This is not necessarily malicious though.

Probably some in-house framework they use that happens to use this old browser API. And they haven't gotten around to fixing it.

Of course it's also reasonable that nobody is pushing a fix up because it works fine on Chrome and that's what Google wants us to use.
Especially when google has been known to program their sites in a way that favors their browser..

> Currently it seems that faulty design and code are actively harming the businesses.

So long as a human exists to work around the faulty code, the harm to businesses is minimal. For example, many companies sell feature-full, but absurdly slow and buggy, software to other businesses. The customers aren't going anywhere, and they've protected their niches with a minefield of patents.

So, the features hook the execs, and the end-users work around the bugs and slowness, the business sees no blowback from this.

My favorite anecdote was a front end engineer claiming "I went in and profiled our code and made an action go from 5 seconds to under a tenth of a second!" To which I can only go "Wait, there was a user-space action that took 5 seconds?!"

For Windows and Mac Chromium builds without Google Sync I recommend: https://chromium.woolyss.com/ From the site: "Welcome on this auto-updated website to easily download latest stable version or good build of Chromium web browser. All is free and open-source."

Don't download the default installer. Instead scroll to the build that says "No Sync".

Chromium of course is the Google sponsored open source project that Chrome is based on. It has the dev tools of Chrome which I prefer to those of Firefox.
Keep in mind that while everybody here is all outraged about this, nobody else is. Because the experience is so nice.

It's the reason why I can search for "prefecture Melun" on my laptop, then jump in the car, open up maps on my phone, Start typing "1" and watch it suggest "12 rue de Gambas, Melun 77320", which happens to be the address of the Melun prefecture.

That sort of thing happens for me every day, and i think it's kinda cool. Google knows this stuff about my life and will suggest it at useful times. If I open maps on the day I have a flight, ferry, or hotel reservation, it'll just assume I want to navigate there (because it read one of my emails) and suggest it for me.

So yeah, I guess I should be outraged and worry that they'll start targeting me for ads or ratting me out to the NSA or something. But thus far they haven't.

It's just that they can offer all this cool stuff if they connect your devices. And in 2018 that involves using a database. Personally, that does not concern me all that much.

Your question amounts to "Why do we have employment law"?
Well, the last update to Adwords aka Google Ads is now a clunky piece of shit on Chrome and FF.

I don't know if Google has gone too far with the A/B split testing and are picking winners solely on a most ad revenue metric or if they abandoned UX testing altogether. I suppose it could be a bit of both. May be their decision making AI is secretly optimizing Google in a destructive direction.. who knows.
Good to know, thanks. Can you say how is the search functionality and indexing on the inbox on Fastmail?
Same with airbnb, you can book and have the host confirm booking without any checks your email address is correct.
Children (by definition) are not fully developed human beings. It should be obvious that care should be taken in their development, and that there should be some burden of responsibility on those creating things specifically targeted at children.

You say that but big companies like Amazon can calculate how much money they're missing per second of their services not being available, or how shaving off x milliseconds off of each request reduced their cost by millions per day. They also advertise with their uptime guarantees to haul in big contracts.
I'm assuming that this cube could not be handled as a normal cube. The gearing would give it an odd feel, like moving a servo by hand, and giving too much torque would probably wear teeth.

To make it feel "normal", you could "assist" the user with the motors, but I'm guessing speed would be severely limited compared to a normal cube.
They do see government surveillance as a greater threat than private surveillance, particularly if the private surveillance is disclosed. This makes sense as it is much harder to opt-out of your government than a contract with a private company.
I self host using hMailServer (open source) and Thunderbird. It's so user friendly, if you are capable of installing software generally, you'll also manage this with no problems (maybe some reading up if you don't know the difference between IMAP and POP3, but that's about it).

The issue is that HMS is Windows-only, but the ease of use is superb compared to anything I've seen on Linux. And it's open source so I'm moderately happy keeping this legacy system running in a VM until it's ported or a manageable alternative comes along.

I've really been enjoying Astro recently (https://www.astro.ai/). I was a big Newton/Cloudmagic fan before they shut down in the last month, but nearly everything I liked from Newton is also present in Astro. Unified inbox, snooze/send later, excellent keyboard support, etc.

Also has the best "less important emails" inbox implementation that I've used so far. The whole gimmick of an AI bot I could chat with is just that, a gimmick, but bot the desktop and mobile apps are solid.

Wishlist items remaining: Newton had you have a Newton account that would automatically set up all your accounts when you installed it on a new device, but Astro doesn't do that. Also, I'd love it to automatically pick the right account to send from once I type in the recipient's address, based on past correspondence, like Newton did. But neither of these are even small issues.
Perhaps in Europe, but not in the US. If someone is searching "gun rights" in the US, it is very unlikely they are wanting to know about gun control.

I like the concept of the ACA as integrating markets and competition, as opposed to price fixing.

At least 100 boys in the US are killed every year by circumcision
I don't know how things are back home, but here in the US "getting into web dev" is something people do mostly as a way to increase their earnings. Yes, there are some gems in the crowd, but the base case, so to speak, is someone who simply wants to make more money. These are the people who want to make the jump from $25k/year to $75k/year and stay there, rather than become masters of a craft. Any learning for them is incidental to the economic process, and such worker bees - productive as they may be - don't actually improve the state of our industry.

Good software is exactly economically viable, but it takes upfront investment. Unfortunately, businesses don't like to make that upfront investment in something they don't - yet! - understand. Think of a car: a young person might treat their first car like crap assuming that it would simply run forever like magic. This attitude does a quick 180 the day the car's tranny drops out. I'm thinking that not enough software "transmissions" have quit in order to instill these lessons within the MBA-s of the world.
