How to Create Spam Free Email Marketing List? 7 Creative Ways
> it makes me emotional, which harms my ability to make my case.

I don't know how true / substantial this effect is, obviously. Nonetheless, seems like good self awareness shown in this comment. That's more than a lot of people can say
I have multiple laptops and various other gadgets that use different connectors.
I do think it was not worth my time.
I found the ideas presented trivial or impractically simplified. It was basically a book containing some papers on compilers celebrating Wirth.
I felt i learned nothing and also felt rage due to the amount of attention his project gets (people reimplementing his pc designs on FPGA, etc.) while more worthwhile historically and technically interesting projects were ignored. I am also on an Oberon mailing list as a teacher and do not see anything interesting there.
However if a person is really interested in compilers and likes the wirthian language family this book might be for him. However it seems like a circlejerk to me.
> TypeScript is less readable.

What makes you say so? I find it more readable than javascript.
"Significant whitespace" EPIC FAILURE!!!!!!
I was the fifth employee of our now-acquired startup. Being in that early amplifies a lot of decisions, both good and bad. The contributions I’m most proud of and still are practiced/referenced today are:

- I was the one-person support for a while, and created our support process, user guides, etc. Any way that I could automate the process to speed up response time and free myself up to do other small tidbits of work, I tried.

- I was the one-person QA team, and documented known corner cases, golden paths, feature-specific regression testing guides, etc. When another employee began helping with QA, it made it much easier to onboard them to the process. We’ve since hired someone to build test automation programs and they’re referencing the same guides that are years-old now to guide their automated tests. I thought that was pretty cool.
There is also a big difference between clicking `fork` on github vs cloning and creating a new repository (on github) and then changing the remote URL and pushing.

The latter isn't "github fork" even if it is a "git fork" and won't be affected by most[1] automated takedowns.

I have actually watched a video of a public hearing on the issue that Louis Rossmann posted. It was essentially the politicians asking "why would we not want to pass this law?" and the opposing side replying "we will send you all the materials later."

It is baffling that someone would vote "no" in such a context.
>Do you give any credence to the claim that playing violent video games makes people violent?

That does not necessarily follow from what OP said. It is entirely possible (and very plausible) that video games do have an impact on the way we think, whether we realize it or not, but they do not make us violent (or at least, it does not make people who aren't predisposed to aggression violent). The claim that there is some effect does not mean that it is a specific effect (making players violent). You need to do more research to show a specific claim.

Other possible observed effects of playing violent video games can include a particular attitude towards gaming and technology, expecting certain events in a game, expecting certain content in a game, or reduced empathy for characters in a game. Whether that affects the real world equivalents isn't obvious.
I think in this context PM is short for promemoria which means "memo", as in, "yes but I'll write a[n explanatory] memo about it"
I've never been a fan of that kind of application.

As a user, it ruins the usability of the operating system. Having alert boxes constantly popping up feels empowering at first, and eventually becomes really annoying and distracting.

As a developer, it breaks your application's expectations and is the root cause of hard to diagnose bug reports. People don't understand what they do and end up breaking software updates (making applications less secure) or other applications features.
If gaming can do it via Stadia, I think music production should be able to do it too. I understand the other comments about latency being particularly crucial for live performance. But there's a big difference between live performance and recording. And I could see a model where as you play live and lay down tracks, it uses a low latency local sample, but then when you playback after the fact (where latency is not important) it can leverage more advanced state of the art VSTs via the cloud.
Scala was released within a couple years of c#. Typescript and Rust were a decade later.
Care to qualify?
I suspect you are being down-voted because a lot of landlords are renting out their first home while they have moved out and into a newer, nicer home and are now just exploiting the underclass.

Presumably the mortgage on the first home is quite far below current market prices, but this is not enough to drive the landlord to offer a price that is necessarily in line with rents at the time the home was purchased.

The mortgage interest is no longer tax deductible, so effective cost of ownership is higher than when compared to someone paying a mortgage on a home they live in.

The profit from renting is compared against profit from selling. If the rental price is driven too low, the owner will prefer to sell and collect the profits (and the home will likely be taken off of the available rental inventory, which will further drive up rents).
^^^ I agree with this. There is a very good chance that anyone who bothers to reach out to support and explain their case can get grandfathered.
Every medical interaction is recorded on a nationwide network - at least here in Italy. Every time I go to my doctor and they prescribe me something / they give me a shot / vaccine, it gets recorded and every other doctor can access the same data when I present my "health smart card"
> Sounds 100% like the API was designed to try and bypass access control mechanisms...

Sure, but your parent's point is that this doesn't appear to be grounds for a takedown. Takedowns are for infringing content, which this isn't.
The cognitive dissonance you feel between what a government says and what the truth is often the first sign that the government is authoritarian.
Proved my point. If it costs 100$ to not be desperately poor, and you make 100$ and the Gov takes 60% of your 100$ you still only have 40$. Doesn't matter if the tax is a flat % or not you still don't have the money to not be poor. All so that you could visit the doctor 1 every 5 years for a flue without having to pay..

Alternatively If you lived freely, you could make 100$, decide you pay 60$for insurance if you want to feel safer and get the benefits from that service orrrr you could say "man I don't need that service right now in my life, so I'm going to invest that money instead while I'm young" and then not be poor..

Yea 50 years ago when nobody had health insurance the bodies piling up were a burden on society because everyone was dying because nobody could afford medical treatment..

I can't remember the last time my newly written code made it into the runtime/browser with a typo in a property name.

The types are much more than just property names.
Last time I checked, a lightning cable vs USB c didn’t pose a health hazard.

The government also made interracial marriage illegal as recently as 50 years ago and same sex relationships illegal as recently as the 80s.

You’ll have to excuse me if I’d rather not give the government power unnecessarily.
And check your metaphors before using them.

The pencil was more expensive.
Same but I’d also never use anything cloud based to do this. The risk vs convenience doesn’t add up for this use case.
Apple is the only company that defied the EU. The fact that we have 2 standard cables (apple and USB) instead of the past's 15+ is solving 99% of the problem.

The regulation set out to do something and the problem is basically solved. It worked.

So you are saying the system memory is 300GB and you can train your model on the cpu instead? Well yeah you can always do that but training will be slow because your model is not trained on the GPU. What’s the point?

I want to agree. But then I realize how any times a day I'm forced to dismiss pesky cookie warnings, and I wonder what unintended consequences will arise from this cable ruling too.

Sure, none come to mind right now, but then, I never though I'd be groaning past two dozen cookie dialogs per day, either.
That sounds both amazing (from a patient in need POV) and scary (from a privacy POV). I’m interested in both
They're just too greedy, and produce way too much in hopes of selling it because they must increase growth. Pretty simple, really.

Luxury brands have shot themselves in the foot. Because of this greed, people are now used to 70% (or more) off at sales. Heck, even Mr Porter is doing 80% now. When you know that in a couple of months there's another sale, why would you buy an item for full price? Then, of course, people forget and don't buy the item at all, or maybe their size is now unavailable, trends shift, etc.

It's going to backlash in other ways, too: since you can now get luxury goods for far cheaper, it's not as much a status symbol, so there's even less reason for buying it.

This is also why people go nuts for limited releases, but these luxury houses prioritize growth more than a sustainable business. That risk won't pay off.
When I first joined the program, it was a multiple-choice exam asking some fairly easy stuff about how Zapier works etc.

Then, they changed the certification to be based on having to build some example zaps based on an imagined business scenario (and they made all current experts go through this).

Apparently it's going to change again. They have a community forum now, and part of getting certified is going to be based on actively participating and helping people in there.
His comment about classical betrayed this a bit. It was pretty ignorant (in the pure sense of uninformed) and confusing.
"You'll have to edit the original interrogation/transcript and sign it"

IF this leaks are correct and true and not a fake leak, it sounds totally like two people conspirating to manipulate evidence against a third accusate of a crime, without his knowledge, and for unknown purposes.

We are talking of: correcting a typo? removing some parts?, adding other parts? adding a phrase that says something like "yes, I raped this women and enjoyed each second of it"?. Is horrible.

If proven true, this would be a serious issue that distroys the right to defence. Manipulating evidence is typified as a crime in most countries. They had a lot of things to explain.
That's an interesting solution (CRM). I am assuming it is not a difficult solution, could probably be done with a weekends worth of effort.
^ guy who missed the boat.
Well, most people can’t afford market rate units in a high demand metropolis. Increasing supply will just allow paying off people to move via a buyout. The market rate will only go down when capital views vacant units as cutting into their investments, which won’t happen in a world where real estate is considered an asset.
Ask HN: Which IM is able to export chat like email?
At work, I do main communications (LPO) via email. Rest day to day is done via Whatsapp. It includes text, voice messages, map location & images(deliver notes). One of those orders has an issue and now its escalated to legal issue. Thats when the lawyers wanted me to give full communication.

When I tried to export the complete chat, it only gave the text in ".txt" file and rest of media. Not in a presentable form, like an HTML with all media embedded. Then I has to open it in web mode and take screen shots in A4 size and its a 30 page thick. The whole process was just messy. I could not find a better way.

I realize that whatsappp being proprietary and there are limits. Email is not convenient for quick & short communications.

Telegram & Signal have no option to even export. What are my options?
Wow. This is a shockingly silly world view.
The costs of the ink this regulation will be printed on will cost more than whatever its attempting to save.
I love lua but the 1-based indexing is the worst decision of all. Just makes it an odd-duck when bouncing between languages.

We did and they unanimously made the worst and most uninnovative solutions for costumers.
You can't really automate everything. Even if you could, and you had the time, and the money, and the omnipotence to know of every possible potential failure and Domino condition and write automation for it before it happened, it would still be a bad idea.

Computers can't replace the dynamic capability of humans to solve difficult problems quickly. But they can provide tools for humans to use to solve it quicker. Runbooks are just one of many tools humans use to this end, like scripts, like some automation, autonomation, escalation, incident management, etc. There will always be bugs no automation can fix, and so we rely on humans to fix it, and make it as easy for them to do that as possible.

Furthermore, code is not documentation, because code does not explain how or why the decisions were made to write the code that particular way. Minimalism is not great when what you may need is knowledge. Documentation is different from a runbook.

Documentation doesn't have to be tested, it just needs indicators of age and health. If it's >1yr old, it probably needs rewriting. A view count helps, as does a like button, this was helpful/unhelpful button, and comments section. If you link them, ones that change can indicate the others that may need changing.
I would read a book about the development of midtown and the fillmore before stating these opinions again. I can’t follow any of what you’re saying.
One day they might be, but they probably think switching now is too soon. Like the person above said, lightning came out before UBS-C. Apple switched from their long https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_connector#Apple_30-pin_... only 8 years ago. Everyone had to throw away their docks and charging cables. Now just 8 years later you want them to make everyone throw all those away again? Wikipedia says the 30 pin connector lasted from 2003 to 2014, so let people use the things they paid for a couple more years. Maybe Apple will come up with something better than USB-C in that time.

Lightning being a better connector than USB-C doesn't help.
> Obsessing over those is time consuming and risky

That's interesting, because to me, it's slopy. If someone doesn't worry about git history, it typically means they don't do pull requests, and that typically, they don't understand know how git works (i.e. how to leverage the features of git).

For me, worrying about history literally takes no extra time. I honestly don't understand the argument.
As I understand it they can request paper/fax/cd records from any doctors given your authorization. Just takes longer than an API call to a portal.

Whether are not the cables are quality or not is different than whether they are licensed. You would make the same decisions if they use USB C with regard to quality.

It’s amazing that the same people who are worried about not having genuine Apple certified cables are probably the same people who want Apple to open up the iPhone to allow side loading.

Yeah, I don't understand the need for software/apps/SaaS's that can be functionally replaced by files on the filesystem (in this case) or a text file (for note-taking tools). Simple files should always be the first attempt at organizing digital media. If it's insufficient for some reason, the OP should describe what they've tried and why it was insufficient.

I'm a huuuuge proponent of moissanite, but it's one of the reasons I am slightly wary of purchasing moissanite online without at least speaking to the seller. Moissanite doesn't always come with a certificate. In my mind, though, if you love it and can afford it, who's to tell you it's fake?
Luxury goods like Gucci and Louis Vuitton do not go on sale for more than 50% ever. Some goods never go on sale, and some goods take years to go on sale. Even then, it's $2,000 -> $1,000. With that, if you couldn't afford the $2,000, you can't afford the $1,000.

As well, the items that do go on sale are generally not the most sought after items and are mostly the generic items since they have inventory left over.

The brands you are seeing that have 70% off sales are not on the same price class as a brand like Gucci.

There are generally 5 tiers of pricing for clothing brands (by T-Shirt pricing to keep it simple):

$10+, $50+, $100+, $400+, $800+ (Gucci)

... (and of course there are higher and in betweens, but if you look at clothing brands prices the tiers stand out clearly)
> I don't really know about Botswana though, if those money actually go to the Botswanans then good for them.

Botswana is probably the best run and least corrupt country in Southern Africa (maybe all of Africa). They've never had a war of any kind, are incredibly friendly to everyone regardless of skin color, etc. etc.

They are famous for tricking the British into giving them mineral rights before they were granted independence, and have used that money wisely the benefit the local people. Huge success story, and fantastic country.

How is it different in spirit from taking a product, adding a feature to it, and distributing? It's still removing freedom from the user. That's what the AGPL is for, for removing runtime host as an excuse to not let users control their use of software.
Two things come to mind:

1/ carefully rearranging headers in a large C++ product, cutting build time from hours to 30 minutes. Think levelization a la Viega (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjFpKJ8Xx78).

2/ setting up JSP->java->class compilation to detect syntax errors at build time rather than at web server startup, eliminated finding such errors in the field completely.
You can write a script that does "inotify_wait" on your directory and changes the permission on anything that's there and doesn't have them.
I would not worry about test scores. Test scores have routinely been show to not correlate with actual job performance.

For coding interviews, to do well, work through all of the hackerrank.com or the equivalent problem sets in your preferred language. At some point you will see the "algorithmic" or "data structure" patterns in the problem sets and you will be able to go forth. I am not sure these even predict job performance though but they are the price you have to pay to "get in".

Also I think the average engineer at a FAANGM company takes 2-3 interviews to actually get in as well. So look at it as a challenge and learning opportunity rather.
Although I’m not a huge fan of Cowan this was a good call. Braudel will change your perspective.

You can clearly see the influence of Bloch who really could be credited with the creation of modern history and historiography. He took a view of complete engagement with history, joining the resistance being, in his mind, itself being part of the historical process (he wrote his last book on the run). His death at the GP hands of the gestapo was tragic.
What you are describing is still an ADT. It's just a different syntax.
