Having run my own server for 20 years, my experience is also that it is relatively hassle free. I also run my own DNS and have a static IP, which might help with keeping email related DNS records up-to-date.

Running the server is generally "set and forget". Every few years an issue might pop up that requires attention. These issues are generally due to a tightening of other servers' requirements rather than an actual technical issue. When such things do occur, symptoms are an occasional email rejection, and a bit of digging reveals the cause and fixing the cause returns things to normal. I've never had a wholesale rejection of mail from my server

For example, when SPF and DKIM came in, I had to add those records to my DNS. When Let's Encrypt came on-line I proactively added TLS to the server. A number of years ago lack of a Reverse DNS record got me on a blacklist for a short time. That was fixed by contacting the IP address issuer (my ISP) and getting them to add a reverse DNS record. Just make sure the reverse DNS hostname matches the hostname that your email server uses in its HELO messages. A week or so later I was automatically off the blacklist and the few rejections went away. I've never bothered with DMARC. This is the sum total of my experience with running the server.

At times there have been physical problems with the server or network outages with my ISP, but I discount these on the basis that it is my decision to run a server on a desktop PC in my house rather than in a data centre. Easily fixed if I wanted to throw money at it.
From the slides:

Harms of AI for predicting social outcomes

• Hunger for personal data

• Massive transfer of power from domain experts &
workers to unaccountable tech companies

• Lack of explainability

• Distracts from interventions

• Veneer of accuracy

Human behavior is not IID and these models will struggle and fail due to the fundamental statistical assumptions of modern AI techniques. I also agree that as a result, we will normalize the collection of personal data in the name social progress.

As a remote employee, I'd argue quite the opposite is happening.

Sure, the absolute top paying jobs still require you to live and work in a few, select cities. However, there are many companies that are competing with SF/NYC companies regardless of talent location.
Yeah I said that. But cheating vs. not cheating has nothing to do with needing a 'serious' server.

Edit: Okay I really need someone to explain why this particular comment got downvoted, I'm baffled.
nah, it's on line 33 of player.js

if(this.isShooting){
this.bullet.y -= 0.1 * dt;

Changing that 0.1 to 1 would make the bullet move 10x faster. It'd be neat if you could have multiple bullets on the screen at the same time, but then the developer would need to maintain an array of bullets and update all of their .y values.

In this case, a new bullet is created when the .y value gets to zero, so there isn't an easy way to increase the firing rate except to increase the speed of the bullet.

By "easy" I mean, can be done in under 5 keystrokes to the code and without introducing potential bugs. Adding an array of bullets moving at the same rate, but able to be fired with less time delay between each bullet, would require at least an order of magnitude or two more than that amount of effort and also a not insignificant amount of testing.
A yoga style tablet and Microsoft one note can be leveraged to do roughly the things you are describing.

I've just set up remote development VM on my personal server and it's super seamless. Love this stuff, crazy fast. It's scary that I, a person who expressed my dislike with Microsoft in the past, got hooked on VSCode + Typescript.

But.

There is a possibility that in a corporate environment this tool could be more of a hurdle. Imagine that you don't have control over your VM. No root, no sudo, everything is monitored and scrutinized.

Sounds scary.

I'd rather have a bare metal machine with something like Proxmox just for my team's needs.

What justifications for this exist?
This is a physical server (at Datacate [1] in Santa Clara), so switching ISPs is not a small undertaking, especially given that I'm only using 1U of space. Last I looked the netblock reputation seemed fine, so I'd only be inclined to switch if I had clear evidence that was the real problem.

I’ve done the math and not really sure how LA is more affordable than SF if you factor in time value of money (things spread apart = commuting) and cost of keeping a car.

Also as a single person housing is flexible for most. If you rent a room in a house in SF (most apartments are houses) you’d most likely be spending less than if you rented a 1 bedroom in LA.
I wonder if he paid taxes on these payments. If not, I'm sure the IRS would eventually get him.
It's more of the same from them. Last week they doctored a video of the shadow Brexit Minister to make it look like he didn't have an answer for a question on Brexit. In reality he answered the question immediately, and very articulately i might add.

This is part of a long-running campaign of underhanded tactics. There are probably many other things going on that no-one has noticed yet.
With Consul intentions and edge gateways you may be able to have the same functionality, but those are quite recent and was not present 2 years ago.
The question of 'evil' is getting a bit theological. I was taking it on face value for the sake of the debate. But no, IMHO evil, good, gods and so on are a social construct through which society finds meaning. Useful fictions like currency, nation states and laws. But fiction.

Certainly we have adults and children who hurt others. There are psychopaths. But they are still human, and they are caused by e.g. damaged attachment.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment_theory

The brutality of these rooms is, of course, that they put the boot in the most vulnerable spot by forcibly detaching the child.

But I'm not here to argue about religion. My pricipal point is that by labelling someone evil you are magicking away the cause. And that means you obviate yourself from having to face up to it. Antisocial behaviour can come from all kids of causes but this misplaced vengeful retribution can surely only make it worse.

I won't convince you away from labelling children as "crazy evil kids" especially not on a HN thread. If you can't see this as a real psychological crime, regardless of the externalities, then that's that. I'm sure your viewpoint is shaped by experiences I don't share.
> You can't teach a human how to do something when the methodology to do that is the student trying something and the teacher saying "Yes" or "No".

Strangely, I recently had to complete a cognitive test that was essentially that process. I was given a series of pages, each of which had a number of shapes and a multiple choice answer. I was told whether I chose the correct answer, then the page was flipped to the next problem. The heuristic for the correct answer was changed at intervals during the test, without any warning from the tester. I'm told I did OK.
Agglutinative just means you glue (the -glu- refers to this) pieces (suffixes) at the end of words to express lots of things. This exists in English as well, but in restricted forms. For example blue+ish, quick+ly, blue+ness, look+ed. In an agglutinative language, this is how most of the things are expressed.

For example a totally normal Hungarian word is: szolgáltatásaiért = szolgá+l+tat+ás+a+i+ért = for his/her/its services. Szolga means servant, from Slavic origin. Szolgál is a verb meaning to serve. Szolgáltat means to provide service. Szolgáltatás means service (as in "goods and services", "internet service", etc.). Szolgáltatása means his/her/its service. Szolgáltatásai means his/her/its services. Szolgáltatásaiért means "for his/her/its services".
You also get the slow version if you include <cctype> instead of <ctype.h>.

It's not. It's a problem for me just paying somebody to host my mail entirely, as most vendors don't support it.
There is no one secret you can google.

There is also no need to perpetuate the fear of running your own email. Decentralization of core internet services helps us all, not just the person doing it. So to anyone seriously interested and willing to learn, I highly recommend running your own email servers.

If you expect 100% delivery rate, you won't necessarily get that, no matter who is running your email infrastructure. At multiple companies, I've seen email end up in spam even though it is sent from gmail-hosted company account to gmail-hosted company account. So that's the bar you want to meet or beat and beating it is not hard.

From ~7 years experience now, I don't observe any problems with email delivery. I don't do anything special. I use postfix, it is well configured and everything works fine. I host several personal domains and a couple small business domains.

And by doing so I avoid giving google the power to cut me off from email because some arbitrary ML gone bad.
> it can be used to distinguish someone that learned English writing rules in a formal educational setting versus those that did not.

Sure, this might be true, and I'm aware that it's what you meant, but it's not the same as being a way to distinguish native from non-native speakers (or even writers).

Many, many non-native speakers got to quite advanced levels of formal English writing via formal schooling, especially in places like Northern Europe. I suspect people like that are actually more likely to avoid ending sentences with propositions than native speakers are.

I think what the person who started this sub-thread was referring to is stuff that really is intuitive for every cognitively normal native speaker, like the difference in meaning between "the dog bit the man" and "a dog bit the man". Practically every native speaker, including illiterates, would agree on whether "the", "a"/"an", or no article at all is correct in any given situation, whereas it's very difficult for many even highly educated non-native learners.
This is so fascinating to me. Have you seen Christopher Alexander's "Pattern Language"? (Especially the "interlocking fingers of city and country" pattern?)

Back when I was learning Hungarian I was frustrated when trying to figure out what the proper word order was. Then I learned that most combinations of subject,object,verb were just fine and the difference between them was emphasis. It became a lot easier once I had figured that out.

Hungarian was really great for allowing me to see language from a different perspective. I also liked the gender-neutral third-person pronoun, where the same pronoun meant he/she/it. That made things simpler.

I got far enough to have simple conversations, and I traveled around Hungary for about 6 weeks one summer practicing the language and seeing the different parts of the country.
Chinese Parents Test DNA to Check If Kids Will Become Prodigies
Many products already have a VAT tax of 20%, and that doesn't seem to stop them. True, bananas would probably get more expensive, but again, countries could mitigate this through trade deals with countries they believe have a fair tax system.

But it's true, local products would have a significant fiscal advantage over products from other countries, especially products with complicated supply chains across many different countries, some of which countries are tax havens that the target country doesn't consider having a fair tax system.

The change would probably be a shock to many companies, but it'd also make it impossible for companies to shift their profits to tax havens.
A totally different comment: any one know if arbitrary word order so important feature of Latin as a language, why no such thing in computer language.

Lisp is Most flexible I suppose but basically it is fixed form (verb x). Whatever verb is it governs how x is interpret. Also you cannot eliminate (). Hence the basic and simple structure is fixed.

Not sure any use of arbitrary word order.
Still much easier to get around SF w/o a car than LA (obviously with the caveat of LA being much larger and building their metro system at a rapid pace).

Just an FYI for people - The Remote Development extensions are not open source. I'd hope if Facebook were joining efforts, they'd do so on a more open project.

MS edited the licensing terms many moons ago, to prepare for VSO (Visual Studio Online = VS Code in browser using these remote extensions/apis that no one else can use)- https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/48279

Finally, this is the thread where you will see regular users being negatively impacted by the DRM (a closed source, non-statically linked proprietary binary downloaded at runtime) that implements this proprietary-ness: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/10... (of course, also with enough details to potentially patch around this issue if you were so inclined). Further, MS acknowledged that statically linking would help in May, and yet it appears to still be an issue.

I just hope they don't come after Eclipse Theia...
The creole languages I'm familiar with tend to be at least as analytic as the most analytic of its parent languages, and possibly more analytic than any of them.

Haitian creole is the most analytic language I'm familiar with. I gather it's about on par with languages like Ewe, but I know next to nothing about Ewe, so I'm not sure on that. I don't think it absorbed a single inflection from French, though.

Modern English, arguably descended from a creole of Old English and Norman French, is less inflected as either of those parent languages. For example, both Old English and French have grammatical gender, but middle and modern English retain it only for third person singular pronouns.

I don't know much about the history of the development of the Romance languages, but I had always guessed that they are at least somewhat a result of creolization of Latin with local language groups, and, if my speculation (it's not even a hypothesis) is at all correct, that would imply that they all would tend to lose inflection, including agglutination, in the process.

So, all that said: Perhaps the reason eastern European languages are more like Latin in this respect is, ironically, because they were less influenced by Latin?

The Adafruit sensor is just the sensor, the PurpleAir II is two sensors plus extra logic that processes the readings to give extra accuracy.

You can't expect one sensor to give the same performance as two sensors plus correction logic. If it was that easy, PurpleAir could just put a case on a PMS sensor and be done with it.
Anything beyond suspension should be moved out of the schools into juvenile justice or social services. Throw these problems back to the parents. Of course, such parents are utterly unprepared to deal with this, so focus on helping them.

As others have said, we need to pay up. Figure it costs 3-6 times as much to educate a kid privately as it does publicly, and perhaps that’s an indication out schools run too thin.
Yeah. What are you asking? They never stopped being a thing.
For example, in logic programming languages like Prolog and Mercury, you can write the goals of a rule, and also the clauses of a predicate, in any order you like while preserving the logical meaning of the code.
This is the same reason that comments should be abolished.

Sites like HN encourage people to read extremely short responses to articles, instead of the full article itself. Similarly, they encourage people to let others determine what is worth reading, rather than making their own decisions.

> You're paying for a license for the game and even though they're likely covered in the event of a shutdown, it's unlikely they could do it without giving back _something_.

You're banking on their goodwill here, not any actual obligation they might have.

> Even with physical games if you let the device connect it can be changed or prevented from working entirely. I get that you _want_ this but considering you already don't have it, I don't understand why this would be taken out only on Stadia.

Is this so? There's a huge aftermarket of games for a reason. People buy old consoles, from NES to XBox 360s, all the time. A lot of people prefer physical media for this reason too.

Even for heavily DRM-d content, it's just a matter of technical skill and people with the will to crack a game to catch up to the techniques used to keep it locked. With streaming there wouldn't be anything to crack. You simply don't have the game, period.
The smallest unit in language that has meaning is called a morpheme. Some languages use relatively few morphemes-per-word like English: for example, the word "cats" can be broken into two morphemes -- "cat" and "-s". "Two" can't be broken down any further, so it has a 1-to-1 mapping between morphemes and words.

Other languages use a lot of morphemes-per-word. One strategy to create words from morphemes is called agglutination (meaning to glue things together). An agglutinative language takes all the morphemes that are going to go into a word, and with minimal or no changes, glues them together to form a word.

For example, the Yupik word "tuntussuqatarniksaitengqiggtuq" means "He had not yet said again that he was going to hunt reindeer".
It is formed by taking the following morphemes and agglutinating them:

"tuntu-ssur-qatar-ni-ksaite-ngqiggte-uq"
I'm pretty sure it does better than 'next video = random(from all of YouTube)' would, but would it be much better than 'next video = random(videos with the same subject or tags as the one playing now)'?
Iterators are also lazy.

All of these things build up some form of computation that doesn’t execute until later. Until then, they’re represented by some kind of data structure.
GP has extremely vitriolic comments like [0]:

This being a tech discussion forum, I really think dang and other HN admins should count attacks based on people's choice of tech as a form of hate speech against any other groups.

Such attacks only distress readers and the buildup of noise from the inevitable responses gradually devolves this place down to the Reddit/4chan tier.

Ah, interesting! Yes, I'd be fine with either of those. Right now I'm just backing up via rsync of the maildir tree, so it's not like these are any worse. I just didn't want to a) know my user's passwords, and b) have to have them give it to me any time they changed it.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe my Christmas present to myself will be to murder my mailserver!

There is this constant hope out there that somehow someway workers will move away from cities at a critical enough mass to reach an equilibrium regarding affordability.

Why? Humans converge on cities for many, many reasons. Even if remote work is ubiquitous there are many other reasons why living in a big city is advantageous. Even now the cities that people are moving to are those that can provide similar services to the larger cities, and with enough time those cities will become just like their larger counterparts with all the issues of a modern city.
for me it's strictly a keyboard issue.
