Show HN: Startup with no website - GuerillaClick@gmail.com
Hey there, there are lot of disposable email services, but as I was thinking I realized 95% of the time, I don't care about my inbox. I just want to "verify my email".

That's why I created a startup with no website, it's called guerillaclick@gmail.com, it's a credible domain (you don't say) and it will click on any "verify" links you send it to it.

You can use aliases to get around of duplicate emails in the target system, so like

guerillaclick+eralp@gmail.com
guerillaclick+sdfaskdma@gmail.com
guerillaclick+111@gmail.com

so choose an alias and start using the service!

I will provide a website to see the inbox of your alias. (maybe for services who send your pw in the email, but then you might be better off using other established servers.)

Gmail API is a bit slow so it might take 30 seconds for email to be received on my end, keep in mind while testing!

Best,

> were you can use all of Germany's public transit for ~4.200 € / year.

Well, you can't. You can use Railway and S-Bahn because S-Bahn is traditionally owned by the DB. You can also use other public transport in the specific regions that the DB negotiated for, the ones that are included as "city" on a long distance railway ticket. These regions do not even always align with the regions for public transport, for example "City" in Berlin is not aligned with the A,B or C regions for local tickets, it's mostly A plus some.

One bug that I encounter many times in projects using similar displays is not giving enough time for commands to process. Often times what works while testing may work 99.99% of the time but that 0.01% it doesn't work could end up as an incorrect character or even an invalid command!

A recent bug I figured out later was sending a certain graphical character matched the "display off" command, and the command bit was not being set quickly enough due to a long cable connection. Once the display off command was sent the screen would not turn back on...

The best way to solve this is to implement firmware to read the status flag of the display, if you are lucky enough to have one. I find this helps a lot with all types of sensors and other external interfaces, send the data and read it back. You will thank yourself that 0.01% of the time it didn't work!

Keep in mind that New Jersey has the highest average population density in the country, and it’s 34x more dense than Oregon, on average! New Jersey’s population density is an almost an order of magnitude closer to Portland’s population density. Then when you take a look at the municipalities in Oregon and New Jersey, even bigger differences appear. Oregon’s population is overwhelmingly concentrated in Portland and the greater Portland metropolitan area (which includes Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham). Something like 50% of the state population lives in the metro area as of 2010 census, and it’s a small part of the state, geographically. Over 500k in Portland alone. Look at New Jersey and you get a radically different picture, at least if you look at municipalities. The distribution between municipalities is much more even.

Also note that the airport, Portland International Airport, is within Portland city limits, proper.

I would say that lessons learned in New Jersey do not translate well to Oregon. Speaking as someone who lived years in Oregon and years in New York, it’s easy to underestimate the differences. It took me a while to understand (as little as I do) the political and geographical divisions in New Jersey, and let me tell you, they are not like the political and geographical divisions of Oregon.

Just to paint more of a picture, Salem and Eugene are ranked #2 and #3. From my personal experience as a driver, these cities are NOT like Portland and it would be absurd to regulate them in the same way. Even “downtown” Salem and Eugene, such as they are, do not suffer from traffic in remotely the same way that Portland and the surrounding metro area does. What makes this worse is that Portland has been experiencing high growth rates for many years now, and the traffic infrastructure has not been able to keep up with the number of cars on the road. Traffic is shockingly worse compared to ten or twenty years ago, and Portland needs to be able to make the policy and infrastructure changes to fix that.

I don't think Spotify's revenue model allows for billing per song? FAFAIK people's listening habits have no impact on their Spotify bill, so it's more accurate to say that people pay for having access to Taylor Swift's songs.

It's the catalog that drives the revenue, not the listening metrics. I'm sure the metrics are important for Spotify's market position, as they drive its licensing fees and negotiating position. But as the parent says, people don't pay extra for listening to Swift's new album instead of the previous.
I'm not sure why the above is getting downvoted. It's a perfectly reasonable question given what the parent comment said.

> definitely helps you develop confidence

Agreed. I think it's worth emphasizing here that it builds up confidence in a very healthy way.

Growing up I was very insecure and (was) thought that building up confidence only had to do with getting a higher self-esteem. And sure, having a low self-esteem is bad for you health. But most ways of trying to improve it backfire. For example, if you think of things you're great at it makes you dependent on feeling that you're great at those things and then that can become a source of insecurity.

Meanwhile, learning to talk to strangers while hitchhiking is all about getting over yourself. A lot of the anxiety comes from the anticipation of being rejected making you feel horrible as if you were and imagining the worst possible ways it could make you feel. Basically, a normally healthy feedback loop to weigh options has become totally unbalanced and makes you suffer for something that neither happened nor has to happen.

More importantly, it suggests you're hyper-focused on yourself and on how others see you. And the irony here is: most people don't, and that's perfectly fine. Or as Melissa Dahl summarized in a title of an Aeon essay[0] about this: "you're simply not that big of a deal, now isn't that a relief?"

I'm sure most of us know this rationally, but feeling it emotionally is a different thing altogether. Well, hitchhiking is a great way to train that world-view. It was for me, at least.

> Incorrect though. States, patches, these are just trade-offs.

I still maintain it is correct to say that git at present does not work with patches on an abstract level. I do not mean to imply by this that patches cannot be recovered from states (they obviously can) nor that it would take a great refactoring of git in order to implement it in git.

On the contrary, now that Pijul has done the hard part of thinking about it and developing it into a theory, it would probably be a very useful addition to git, as you have noticed, if it can get mind share among git developers.

> Probably the idea behind this was also smart. Do it quickly for now, and optimize it if needed later.

The issue is of course whether the property of associativity is useful or not in a correctness sort of sense. IMO, the answer is yes, and I would gladly take a small performance hit in order to have this result.

Also, I've seen one of Pijul's authors claim that it could be made competitive with git with regards to merging performance (in terms of time). It is already quite quick. We'll see.

Another point made by one of the Pijul authors elsewhere in the thread is that Pijul uses novel data structures which enable it to also have commutativity of patches. I'm less clear on how this works, but it essentially means that branches in Pijul become sets of changes, not sequences of changes. In other words,

ABC = ACB = CAB = <any other permutation>

This is what I hinted at when I said commits retain their identity across rebases and cherry-picking. At that point, history stops being important and you only deal with changes as first-class entities. I feel this is enough to justify the claim that Pijul is fundamentally different from git by being patch-centric. I'm also not sure that this could be retrofitted to git as easily.
An Old but Cool Result – Gödel's Lost Letter and P=NP
"The map is not the territory" is so widely known as to be almost a truism, but the post's conclusion is an excellent, pithy summary of the practical implications of this idea:

> you do not understand a model, map, or reduction unless you understand and respect its limitations

This simple but powerful corollary is easily and widely overlooked, perhaps because the mind's use of maps and models as stand-ins for reality runs so deep that the full import of this statement about the profound unknowability of the world around us is too terrifying to permit contemplation.

Edge can be defined as many things, and is currently being defined by the world in many ways.

At StackPath our definition of Edge is basically being as close as possible to the eyeballs aka users. Think of it as the front door to the internet.

Today our Edge expands across major IX's around the world and that's just the beginning. 5G is approaching us quickly along with container data centers.

The way we built our orchestration system it can deploy and manage workloads anywhere. In the future, that will include 5G container data centers which gets workloads even closer to things like self-driving cars, smart cities, IoT devices, <insert your idea here>.
> So to make this work, references would need to be re-written when a move/copy occurs.

Yes! C++ has a concept called "move constructors" that allows for this (this would be that "smart clone" you talk about later in the comment), but we made a decision to not include it. This introduces some nice properties, at the cost of disallowing self-referencing structs.

> I can still see having an easy way to construct self-referential structs being a useful thing, even if the compiler prevents you from moving them.

So, in some sense, this is what the new Pin stuff is about. It lets you say "from this point on, this thing isn't going to move again" and therefore be self-referential.

> I don't understand why oh_no() taking ownership causes f to be copied to a new location.

"Taking owernship" means "move". "move" means "a memcpy from the old to the new location." Rust isn't really special from any other sort of language with value semantics here, other than disallowing you to use the old value, since it was moved out from. Does that make sense?
