Had been running my own mail server for the last 10 years, doing mail forwarding for a few friends domain names. Finally just moved all those domains to mailgun, and it's been great. 10,000 forwarded emails a day, for free.

To be honest it wasn't that hard doing it myself, but it broke 2-3 times over that number of years when providers changed their delivery requirements (see DKIM, DMARC etc). It was never something I enjoyed troubleshooting.

You can have a very tiny website with custom onclicks to load / change elements via callbacks. The bloat of JS frameworks to do everything including generate the actual HTML client side is totally separate from having dynamic page content.

I always strive to keep the client side stupid. I should be sending as much of the final document as possible from the server and any interactivity needed should also produce as little work for the client as possible.

Your question is the equivalent of "Is purchasing a hammer something worth pursuing?" The knowledge conferred by a degree is a tool, nothing more.

So, the question is: what do you plan to do with your MS? Do you want to apply to jobs that require specialized CS knowledge? Are you doing it for your own personal satisfaction? Are you hoping that having a MS will make you generally more attractive on the job market? Only you know the answer to that.
> safer than smoking.

The problem is that vaping is NOT safer than NOT smoking.

The issue is that vaping is seen as "absolutely safe" rather than "relatively safer". Since vaping is now seen as "cool" (look at the "Game of Thrones" stars being shown vaping--especially the attractive, young women), it is converting non-smoking, non-vaping people into vapers.

That's a problem.
You could do this on Twitter if you stay within the character limit but for material in the link, that requires 5+ tweets to cover completely, it simply seems that the amount of scrolling and clicking is a waste. This sort of stuff is not always so neatly presented as it is on this particular link within Twitter. On your timeline, you might notice the "part 3" tweet first. Then you gotta click it to try to gain a larger context to see if its actually interesting. Then, if it is, you have to click to find the "part 1" tweet. Sometimes this will be simple because you can show the entire thread. Other times it seems like you cant. It is a lot of manual overhead to consume two paragraphs or so plus a link to the actual podcast that the paragraphs are describing.
It seems to me that it's pretty common for Facebook to be described as one of the most evil organizations in the world, or as totally useless, so when someone talks about access as a human right, I sort of lose the thread of why everybody hates them. I think I am incapable of hating any entity that cannot act in an acceptable manner as a matter of logic.
Yes, sorry the wording was a bit ambiguous. MCT is almost entirely saturated. Any natural oils can be broken down into free fatty acids which have a pro-inflammatory effect when "not where they belong", i.e. in the interstitial space. However, unsaturated fats have the fun additional property that they can be "oxidized in a tightly regulated and specific manner to generate either potent pro-inflammatory or pro-resolving lipid mediators" [1]. So MCT oil is probably pro-inflammatory in the lungs, but vegetable oil even more so.

Depends on your specific intention, as in why?

Research? - Absolutely, But pick the top universities for your subject matter (Computer Science in this case). There are even some universities that give you the option to skip a Masters and go straight into a PhD depending on your academic achievements.

A SWE Job? - Not necessary for some companies, but most usually throw in, or even emphasize the preference for masters grads. If it is a typical software engineering role at a FAANG company, then yes. The competition is too fierce for BSc or nano-degree holders and I wouldn't risk applying without one.

As you said 'MS in Computer Science' some people usually take this to enter into the field professionally from a different industry to get up to speed. At this point if I previously did a BSc in the same subject, I would specialize in a masters on where the industry is going, such as security, quantum computing or deep learning.

For a long time I thought "FOMO" was just a trendy bit of slang that hit the nail on the head nicely, but it's actually a documented psychological phenomenon (though I don't know which came first).

Ever since I learned about it, I've basically trained myself to not check social media often and, when I do, to remind myself that the pieces I see of other people's lives aren't representative of their lives as a whole, nor are they representative of what I should be expecting or enjoying from my own life. It's helped a little.
You present a false dichotomy between “everything is chaos” and “it is all controlled by one person.”

The truth is elsewhere. There are many people in control, all engaged in various cooperative and competitive activities which may to the casual observer appear to be chaos only because there is too much activity for one person to analyse in real time.

Compare the definition of racism with the phenomenon of russophobia and you'll see how russophobia is racism.

"Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. It may also include prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity, or the belief that members of different races or ethnicities should be treated differently"

When you're selectively denied doing what you want (i.e. to "volunteer to come here") BECAUSE of the group you belong to then you are oppressed. It's not about what happenes to arbitrary specific individuals, it's about what happens to members of a group due to their membership in that group.
This points to a basic issue with Wag's business model. If 'contractors' have an incentive to take on clients directly and cut out Wag, then they will do so. You can't stop that with an unenforcable TOS, because they're contractors. What a normal business would do at that point is admit Uber for dog walking was a bad idea, implement a reasonable finders fee system and pivot to connecting/reviewing/vetting/handling contracts/payments for owners and walkers. The business would be worth X to XX million dollars and everyone would be happy.

Wag, however, has over 300 million dollars in funding. So they're probably @#$%ed.



Here's an idea for a startup, 'Uber for Uber for X'.

How many times have you acquired 300 million dollars in funding only to realize you missed a silly detail that will bankrupt your overvalued Uber for X startup? Never again!

Now anyone can easily build their own Uber for X in days! Use our centralized customer network for immediate network effects! As the network was the only real value your sheisty middleman-ware provided anyway, you're obviously now a contractor. If it turns out we don't add value to your Uber for X experience, taking on customers directly will of course result in a hefty fine. It's buried in the TOS because it's legally unenforceable, but we'll still try to bill you anyway!

Uber for Uber for X. Overvalued since 2019.

This is the right timing as I was looking into Secret Splitting/Sharing schemes today. Does anybody know a good survey? It seems like there are several types of schemes:

* SSS: (threshold) Shamir Secret Sharing scheme. split a key into m-of-n keys.

* PSS: Proactive Secret Sharing. You can rotate the partial keys with new independent ones, and participants can delete their previous partial keys. This is good in case you someone gets their share compromised at some point.

* DCPSS: Dynamic-Committee Proactive Secret Sharing. This is CHURN. You can update the partial keys with a different m-of-n.

* VSS: Verifiable Secret Sharing. SSS doesn't seem to hold when participants are not all honest. This one fixes that.

* PVSS: Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing. ?

* APSS: Asynchronous Proactive Secret Sharing. ?

* SVSS: Strong Verifiable Secret Sharing. ?

* SVPSS: Strong Verifiable Proactive Secret Sharing. ?

There is also another branch of secret sharing called DKG for Distributed Key Generation . Participants collaborate to generate a key, and to asymmetrically decrypt a ciphertext or sign a message. At no point in time does the full private key exist.

It has marginally higher density; I didn't forget this benefit. The tradeoff is something like 5% more space vs much worse performance and many man-years rewriting filesystems.
> people living in places where vaping is legal, are concerned that there might be a push towards prohibition

Spreading false, misleading information doesn't help legitimize your cause.

> the problem arises when the lack of conclusive evidence is used as an argument in favour of prohibition, that is what drives many vapers to respond

I haven't see anyone here doing that, I certainly haven't.

> In other words, if something is “possibly harmful but we’re not sure yet”, is that a sufficient reason for making it illegal? Most vapers think that the answer is no.

I do not thing there is any doubt that vaping is harmful to some degree (that appears to be the scientific consensus). The unresolved questions are "how harmful?" and "is it a net negative for society?". However, even if the answers are "almost as harmful as cigarettes" and "yes, it increases public health risks overall despite reductions in smoking", I still would not support banning e-cigs (though I would support advertising restrictions).
I think it depends on how YAML is used. Requiring full YAML on an input is cumbersome on users (e.g. if any downstream user MUST parse ANY YAML). On the other hand, a simple format which happens to be YAML-compatible means anyone with a YAML parser can parse it without reinventing wheels. That seems a good thing.

An example of that is JSON. Any YAML parser will parse JSON.

TSVX merely seems to guarantee that the output is a simplified (but compatible) form of YAML. All this means is that any YAML parser will read it, and you don't need to write your own. But it's just a colon-delimited dictionary with a few constraints.
It would be escaped in that case.

That’s what a visa is. Without a visa you can’t even get on the plane (unless your passport is from a country that doesn’t require one).

But they also want to double check when the border crossing happens. A visa can be issued months or years in advance. This check needs to be done by representatives of the government of the destination, so it’s not practical to do it at the originating airport in most cases.
When I’ve stepped away from social media in the past it helped a lot. I got drawn back in because the sports success of my school made Facebook a lot more fun...but I’ve rapidly unfollowed everything on my timeline that is remotely “news like” and it seems to be working.

Nobody has the emotional capacity to handle the anger of every cause from every person they’ve ever met. I saw one meme come through claiming that choosing to stay out of politics was a sign of “privilege” but immediately realized that it’s the exact opposite. Until this new world we lived in happened, every person I’ve ever met didn’t have the ability to broadcast their politics to me unless I saw them in person...and we chose to talk about it one on one like civilized adults.
I was recently in the market for a new refrigerator to replace a newish Samsung fridge where ice built up around the condenser fan, eventually causing it to freeze still, and spoiling all my food every ~3mos (Avoid Samsung appliances if you value your sanity) — It came with the house so no real cost on my part aside from the annoyance.

Now I have a perfectly adequate Whirlpool fridge, but the condenser fan is obnoxiously loud. It seems to have one setting, off and turbo. I’ve resorted to taping acoustic pads to the back of the fridge — and no joke, some hardcover books backed up against the back of the freezer (They aren’t noticeable and don’t take up a significant amount of space). This helps a lot, but the thing is still louder than I’d like.

I’ll probably leave this fridge with the house as well.
Sure but the idea still stands.
I have a whirlpool top loader laundry machine, just under 20yrs old, couple of months ago it failed, and the part is a plastic sacrificial part and it's obviously designed so it'd sacrifice itself to save the more expensive motor.

I loved all the old American white-ware, they were built with respect to consumer nowadays not so much.

Yes but refrigerators back then were around $2-3000 in modern currency (for a no frills ice box). You can get a cheap fridge now for like $90 (mini fridge). Much of our modern lifestyle was created by accessibility of home appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners, and that accessibility was driven by companies making things cheaper (but easier to break).

You’re free to buy appliances like the stuff that used to exist. They are found in the commercial realm, and you’ll still be spending about $3000 for a no-frills entry level fridge.

> If someone texts me an image of child pornography and I go straight to the police and report it, I would be arrested?

Quite possibly arrested. However, a successful prosecution probably depends on the definition of "possession"--I suspect a competent defense attorney could argue that you really didn't take possession if you immediately reported it to the police and deleted it.

> Both are crimes where possession alone is cause for arrest.

Possession of drugs is not a "strict liability" crime.
That's a neat trick. However, I've never seen anyone doing it around me. I wonder how one would make it work with fridge and storage space regularly filled to capacity?

My wife and I do something else instead. We know we can eat all foodstuffs before their printed expiry date, but we got tripped regularly by products with have short expiry time after being opened - in particular, through not remembering how long such a product has been sitting in the fridge. I eventually glued some magnets to a permanent marker and put it on the fridge, and now we write current date whenever opening a fridge-stored product. This made it much easier to avoid accidental food waste due to uncertainty around spoilage.

Thank you for being The One to bring up Org Mode. I've also been returning to Org Mode after a year or so of bullet journaling in a Moleskine (yes, with a fountain pen).

My procedure of late is:

- keyboard shortcut + a snippet of Emacs Lisp to create today's journal entry (e.g. 2019-09-01.org) in a "journal" subdirectory;

- YASnippet to fill out a daily journal template with two-column LaTeX export styling the way I want;

- Write down any dreams I remember in the morning;

- Write down a simple to-do list in an Org table, moving items up and down; rather than TODO states, I put a space between items already done and those remaining; if I don't get everything done, I can strikethrough the item to indicate that;

- Find and copy or type in a quote or a poem for the day (usually at the end of the day);

- Occasionally, paste in a small snippet of code that I wrote or saw that I liked;

- Any interesting things that happened or felt noteworthy that day.

Finally, and this is perhaps one of the more important steps:

- export as LaTeX to PDF, then print, three-hole punch, and stick it in a binder on my desk.

The format and what I put in changes daily and it's kind of neat to see that unfold in the printouts. I find that having the printed journal makes the older entries (each a single page so far) a pleasure to look over and gives me a sense of what my time has been like recently. If it was just on the computer I probably wouldn't ever look at it again, and I wanted something that gave me easy access to the feelings of the recent days that otherwise seem to disappear completely.

I looked into commercial ranges, not because I actually intend to purchase one, but because I'd gotten spoiled cooking on one and got curious if it was even feasible to get one. For those of you who haven't cooked on one, one huge perk is that you can get a low simmer with the heat spread fully across the bottom of the pan, not just in the center.

It turns out, however, that the standard depth for a commercial cooktop is quite a bit larger than the standard depth for a domestic one. Having worked (briefly, a long time ago) at a chain bakery, I vaguely recall the fridge being a very different size than a domestic one.

Sure, you're free to get commercial gear, but you aren't just paying more for the appliances: you're going to be paying to renovate your kitchen to fit them.
