Email is hard across time. Meaning yes, I can setup a mail server, and yes I can configure DKIM+SPF, and yes I can initially get good delivery to all the major providers. But that's just the beginning. Email is an ongoing maintenance responsibility. And problems with mail delivery are almost always an emergency for yourself or your clients.

Nothing quite matches the gut punch of being on time for a deadline then having to push it back to troubleshoot mail problems. Or losing a weekend because while you know enough to get started your experience isn't deep enough to fix deliverability problems in a timely manner.

Email _is_ hard. That's why I'm very happy to outsource mail to experts like OP.

Breathing the smoke and grease from frying is definitely not good for you. That’s one reason kitchens tend to have serious ventilation.

But people accept a certain amount of risk, since everyone needs to eat and cooking is a career for many people. Cooking is nowhere near as dangerous as smoking cigarettes.

I've been vaping for about 10 years and would be happy to see tighter regulation of juices. Some of the stuff available is scary, and the purity is always up for question. There simply isn't any framework for this kind of thing yet. It's not all that surprising people are getting injured

I did read the guidelines before posting and I honestly don't know how to quantify what is spam.

I don't believe it's spam since there are new two features, OpenZones and hurricane tracks, that are interesting and useful to people, especially with the hurricane. I'm quite proud of these developments. The OpenZones meet public good while still having a way to cover costs. The hurricane tracks visualization is new and unique and addresses the problem highlighted in the "Misinterpreting hurricane forecasts"[0]. I believe these are appropriate for "Show HN".

I have many other ideas to develop for Flowx, it would be sad if they could not be shown here because it's in a product.

BTW, the guidelines say this about spam:
"Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did."

So according to the court, the girl who distributed the video must have been simultaneously the victim and perpetrator of the crime.

What didn't get addressed, though, is that that video has also been distributed to almost everybody in the school, without her consent. That means that nearly everybody in that school has distributed child porn. And they are only perpetrators and not victims. Only punishing the one perpetrator who is simultaneously the victim of the crime, is extremely arbitrary and backwards.

At the very least be consistent and punish everybody who distributed that video.

Earth's resources are decreasing over a given timespan because we both spent exhaustible resources and produce wastes for future generations. It can’t be sustainable system.

There is no evidence that overpopulation is not long-term concern. Look at Africa, India, China

New technologies are not guaranteed. You can’t simultaneously give less and less time and resources to your children and ask them to be better than you. They will choose to continue your tactic until civilization collapse as future generations can't vote
Perhaps, but the interesting part for me was the historical background (small as it was). What I suppose I'm saying is that in this particular instance I didn't mind that I took the bait. A bit better than "Unix sysadmins don't want you to know this one weird trick!" or "You'll never believe what the RC in .bashrc stands for!" at least.
Many of the US's enemies hate the US, in my opinion, as a consequence of previous US meddling. The CIA have been known to topple democratically-elected governments in the middle east in order to install a pro-US-interests dictator, until they're no longer convenient, then war.

I'm not saying that the US are the only ones that do this, of course, but I feel like Iran might be more friendly if the US hadn't meddled in middle-eastern affairs for so much of the previous century.
I definitely fall strongly on the anti-dogmatic side.

Agile is built around the simple value proposition that shipping products earlier, more often, and with more direct feedback from customers creates better products. We might even call this "The Golden Rule" of Agile. (This certainly verges on being a philosophy.)

If you believe that, and always act in accordance with that idea, and your team and stakeholders and users do so as well, there's no need for dogma. You will deliver great products and life will be good.

But the sad truth is a significant fraction of people are skeptics and cynics and doggerels and hairsplitters and technocrats and incompetents and martinets and apathetics and fusspots; in simple terms, they're only human.

So instead of one Golden Rule we have law after law after law and with law comes lawyers on both sides (or pharisees if you like.)

But if you inspect and adapt according to the Golden Rule, you'll always be doing Agile because you focus on the outcome and not the process.

Either you ship or you don't. Either you add value or you don't. Either you talk to users or you dont.
Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_spy_cases_in_t... there's at least two cases that are by professors (Xiaoxing Xi and Yi-Chi Shih).

The very first Fry's was at 541 Lakeside Drive in Sunnyvale, on the east side of Lawrence Expy. Sometime around late 1990 that store moved to 1177 Kern Ave in Sunnyvale, and then by the late '90s moved again to the current location at 1077 E. Arques.

The second store to open was in Fremont (though not at the Fremont store's current location), and the third was the Palo Alto (at the current location).

You are clearly missing the point.

Not even research code should use rand and if you are, you have just lost half of your credibility.
That's dodging the point. Your assertion that my point of view was purely subjective while the opposing views were not.

What constitutes guilt is simple, being convicted of transgressing a law.

The objective measure in my book, is that of real world harm balanced against unintended side effects and limitations on freedom.

The core is the same.
The main page of the project says "The font is made with code, it has coordinate values of the drawing points for each type." Indeed, a list of point coordinates and types (on/off curve) is at the core of how every vector graphics format, including font files (which are not much more than collections --- glyphs --- of such graphics) is defined, so that's not saying much.

The main difference with other font formats seems to be that this font is stroked and not filled, which enables a lot of the effects shown; but the "wave" effect is not hard to produce from any other font --- calculate intermediate points if desired, and then repeatedly rasterise using a time-varying random perturbation of each point.

With essential oils you put a few drops into something like 300ml of water. So the amount of oil getting to your lungs in a large room out of that few drops of oil is pretty trivial. Maybe say you get one drop of oil exposure, over 4 hours. I doubt lungs have much trouble clearing that out.
Turing was persecuted, but he was also instrumental to the Allies' victory in WWII. Without Bletchley Park and the massive advances in electromechanical computing that Turing helped to spearhead, the world would probably look very different today.

It seems more like an acknowledgement that his past persecution shouldn't have any bearing on our perception of his myriad accomplishments. FTA:

>Alan Turing provided the theoretical underpinnings for the modern computer. While best known for his work devising code-breaking machines during WWII, Turing played a pivotal role in the development of early computers first at the National Physical Laboratory and later at the University of Manchester. He set the foundations for work on artificial intelligence by considering the question of whether machines could think.

I mean, we sometimes call general-purpose computers "Turing Machines", and we use "Turing Tests" to determine if an AI can demonstrate enough intelligence to pass as human.

They were probably happy with it because at least it was an option. Not the best option for everyone but at least an option. That option today is rarely the case — Since the late 1980s — and especially now given fleeting corporate entities — there is no longer a sense of commitment. When workers see no commitments they also show little loyalty. It is a downward spiral. Great if you can hop up the spiral (eg right school, right network, right background), but unfortunate otherwise.
Well I just have to do the one more step of forwarding the SMTP to sendgrid or whatever and then it will be top notch. It hasn't been enough of a pain for me yet to do that next step. I just signal her instead of email.
You can redesign the website using modern technology and still make it insanely fast, probably even faster than its current state.
Probably just add some extra "padding: 5px". All the padding area registers "clicks" for the element.
Thanks. I was going through my memory of previous "Show HN" posts I've read and many are products.

If it's any consolation, we don't have a marketing department or budget :-)

My impression has always been that agile was the answer to to the "managing developers is like herding cats" problem.

Now the kittens do stand ups everyday and meow on cue. It's a success for management.
This isn't a jab at Mozilla, but it's actually kind of amazing that throughout this whole time Mozilla has had only two (arguably one) large, successful, consumer-facing projects.

I think this says something about Mozilla or large organizations in general.
Its nowhere near as bad as it was back in the '70s or so when some places devalued the other countries' Sterling by 10% before accepting it or flatly refused it. I've spend several eg Bank of Clydsdale £20 notes in pubs in southern England. I've also spent a fair bit of English Sterling up (proper) north with no problems.

It doesn't help that there are five or so different banks in Scotland issuing notes with different designs, so to spot a dud you need to really know your stuff.

It's a good teaser for the podcast, I thought. The last episode (ep 7, which covers this topic) is more than 2 hours long. It's pretty great.
Interesting. She shared the video with her friends, one of whom she fell out with. That friend then reported the video to the school resource officer, Caballero. The girl then met Caballero and thought he was going to help her. Instead, he set up the whole prosecution.

It's interesting to see the result. If any school officer ever thinks any student is going to be honest with them ever again, they're an idiot. You get less of what you punish, and the proximate thing is talking to your school resource officer.

You beat me to it. I find this subject interesting but the platform of Twitter is incredibly ill-fitting for this. I've noticed recently more and more people doing long-form content on Twitter - I hope it's not a trend that catches on.
Just based on only my own experiences and perception, the entire news apparatus of the United States seems to have underwent a rapid shift starting approximately in 2013. Outside of only a small handful of venerable institutions like The New York Times, news and social media seem to be merging in a way that is completely changing the character of how important information is delivered to millions of people. It was a shift towards a level of partisanship, hostility, and fear-mongering that, to me at least, has felt utterly unprecedented. Anecdotally, this has caused me a great deal of personal stress, and I've had to become extremely diligent with how I consume news media in order to maintain a healthy state of mind.

I can't help but wonder if the effect of this would've been magnified if were younger, less prepared to deal with it, and just now entering college instead of being half a decade out of college.

These are my network requests when I vote with JS enabled.
Progressive enhancement all the way, HN is a great example of this, focuses on its core functionality and slightly enhances things with JS. There's the argument for modern web not having to reload a page, but we were reloading pages on 56kb dial up.
A land value tax would fix this - the more land appreciates in value, the more property tax the owner would pay to the public coffers. California would also have to repeal proposition 13 which limits property tax increases. Proposition 13 is one of the biggest giveaways to the wealthy in the history of US tax policy.
That's harder to fix, because there's actual people living there. Also, I suspect the people living there are used to it, like it this way, and it might even be good for tourism. That's a lot to give up.

>This means that every vote results in a response that's usually around 10KB gzipped.

Dude, the time to be angry is if your sentence were: "This means that every vote results in a response that's usually around 10MB gzipped." [megabytes, not kilobytes]

And:

"As of right now, for me, voting on any comment in this thread currently causes a 14MB response and takes about 130 seconds to finish."

Because that's the territory of modern web design.

If I were a modern product manager on a HN redesign I would just have these requirements:

Performance:

1. The site must load for at least 30 seconds before showing the contents of a page. NO EXCEPTIONS.

2. It should use 5-50 megabytes of data per page load.

3. Any action should take 5-20 seconds to complete.

Functionality:

4. (No new functionality requirements.)

This is based on my extensive experience as a consumer on redesigned apps.
The quickest way to recognize US coins is to recognize which of our four greatest presidents[1] is displayed on the coin: George Washington on the quarter (25 cents), Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the dime (10 cents), Thomas Jefferson on the nickel (5 cents), and Abraham Lincoln on the penny (1 cent). The only recent significant change to the front design is that Jefferson is looking at you on the newer nickels, rather than to the side as he did previously.

This is a completely arbitrary system, but American schoolchildren learn it very early on and memorize it, and it remains valid for the entire rest of their lives.

[1] You may recall that the faces of our four greatest presidents are also engraved on Mount Rushmore, except instead of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt is on the mountain. This is because Mount Rushmore was carved during the administration of FDR, and he had not yet had the opportunity to displace his cousin within the top four. Also, neither ranking is especially unanimous among historians or the public, but it is relatively close to the consensus.
Sounds like Caballero was in possession of child porn and watched it. Why was he not charged when he reported it to the police? He should be doing like what 5 years, and be put on a sex offender registry, lose his job, his life... etc. Probably commit suicide at some point.

Honestly the sex laws in the United States are insane and the only ones who don't see the insanity are its puritan purveyors who are probably sexual deviants in the closet...

And no one says anything because they are scared of not thinking of the children (tm). It comical to point out the hypocrisy of that rhetoric in this way. Like seriously think of the f*ing children.
Just for grins and giggles, I bought a 30 pin iPod chord to charge my first gen iPod Touch from 2007. HN and Daring Fireball are two of the only sites that actually still render.

I'm fine with this as a long time vape user as well. Or at least have a food safety type agency looking at the products and fining bad actors to create disincentives for mislabelling and poor/unhealthy ingredients.

Of course many people are rushing to ban it before we fully understand it and like any controversial topic FUD is everywhere. But that doesn't mean careful small steps cant be made today.

Vaping vials of THC in Long Island, NY, as what happened in this article, isn't something sold through legal channels AFAIK though so I'm not sure how much an agency could help with this specific problem (other than to highlight them).

Everyone loves to bash Juul (which is a garbage product I'd never touch) and the big tobacco company which owns it, but there's tons of small mom-and-pop style juice makers, shops, and device manufacturers which run a big part of the Vaping industry. These are the ones who will be impacted the most by the policies so we should keep them in mind when designing policy and not let Juul and their lobbyists write the legislation, in response to Juuls own bad behaviour (as always seems to happen), so we only end up with Juul type big companies.
Most things I listed are pre-2007, minisat 2.2 had all but literal block distance. Which, I think, has proven itself since glucose replaced minisat in the hack thread.

You're probably right about the kitchen sink approach, however without it we probably wouldn't have MapleSat. MapleSat uses machine learning to replace the VSIDS heuristic. A bold move, but it has been replicated this year.

I checked (got curious about what ABC does): ABC uses minisat 2.2 as default and satoko (for 3 years) and glucose 3.0 (for 2 years) as options.
I don't know which configuration they used for the competitions. I think I saw "bmc -g" in some of the slides which would indicate glucose. However I also saw "abc super_solve" for which the name gives no information. (Maybe not the same years)

Indeed, smart applications of SAT solvers do more than raw performance.
Though, every little bit helps. Are you going to tell scientists what they should research? :)
