>I don't see how that helps. How do I recover from my registrar deleting/disabling my account even if DNS is somewhere else? I think there's still only one failure point and the lesson is that I need to pay that failure point more money.

Your outage was a DNS outage, not a registrar outage. If you still had control of the domain you could update your name servers to another provider, import your backed up records and get the site back online without talking to CloudFlare.
OP here.

> Also Cloudflare did not 'delete my (the) domain. It deleted the dns records. There is a difference and no I am not being pedantic either.

Thanks. You're absolutely right. I meant delete their record of the domain as it shows up in the UI of their dashboard.

> How would 'the internet' know why this was done there could be any number of good or bad reasons.

For many reasons luckily HN isn't 'the internet'. I've already gotten some good suggestions.

> Lastly the domain is not expired and as such the registrar is required (per ICANN) to supply an auth code so someone can transfer out. Or to allow the customer to change the primary and secondary dns to another dns provider. There is zero (legitimately) that allows cloudflare as either a dns provider or a registrar to lock the domain up pretty much (other than for a legal court order) just for some reason they might decide to do that.

I know. Again, I guess I was insufficiently specific. Cloudflare has warned me to expect long wait times before I can talk to a customer support rep. My question was if there's a way to transfer out without needing to wait on a slow support loop.
Ask HN: How is outlook online a good UI?
So I have to use Outlook online for my university and it drives me absolutely insane. But I'm also acutely aware that they have lots of money and have very likely tested it on a lot of people.

I looked up on how to remove "Favorites" because they are in the way, and there seem to be a lot of people wanting to remove it but no such option.

When you search you get suggestions at the top that are never right and are really confusing because you can search by date and then at the top you have random emails.

I tried forwarding an email, not the latest email in the conversation and it automatically collapses the selected email with the important information so it's really hard to realize what I have sent. And it also sent emails later in the same conversation that I didn't want to send to the person.

Clicking on any Excel/word/pdf gets you a preview of the file every time when you want to download it and you have to do several extra clicks.

It filters email by default that automatized messages are not in the regular inbox, tog me a missed deadline to realize that because we get reminder by email that just disappeared.

And the lists just goes on...
(And I'm ignoring that it takes forever to load)

So can someone please tell me what makes outlook online good?

How many of your sixty domains are business-critical?

Cloudflare's Domains service is new, and some of it's management tools are lacking, but I also moved most of my domains to it over the last year for cost savings. I'm thrilled with it, but I'm still keeping a few of my most critical domains with GoDaddy. (Hate them all you want, but GoDaddy hasn't screwed up my domains in well over a decade.)

You may be able to save a lot of money without risking your primary domain that you route email through.

* I am not a doctor, I have simply had a lot of experience with treating my own injuries and speaking to others in similar situations

This is partially good, but dangerously incomplete advice. The spectrum of RSI is far bigger than carpal tunnel, such as cubital tunnel, tennis elbow, tendinitis, and general neuropathy.

It can be caused by many things including various muscle groups in your shoulders, neck, posture, past injuries, nerve adhesion, flexibility, lack of strength.

Massage is a wonderful way to address nerve adhesion, flexibility, general tightness, but if you have a different issue it’s not really a panacea.

My philosophy is that you should do these things in strict order if you have symptoms:

1. reduce use (take breaks, get hobbies that take you away from the screen at home)

2. vary conditions of use (standing desk, ergonomics, using more than one kind of keyboard/mouse)

3. work out (yoga, swimming are highly recommended)

4. physical treatment (see a doctor, physical therapist, deep masseuse, etc)

5. alternative input (voice, eye tracking, etc)

If you do these in a different order or skip any of them you’re probably doing yourself a disservice.

Also. Don’t ice. Don’t take anti inflammatories or other pain meds while you continue to work. Blood flow is important to recovery - heat can soothe your pain similarly to as ice, but without causing further damage. And pain meds during working hours will make you ignore the damage that is causing your pain, allowing you to cause more damage. Bad.

I’ve also seen some negative studies on steroids and surgery, suggesting if you get those without changing your habits, your pain will recur within a year in 90% of cases. Do your own research, but you might as well change your habits first and only use surgery/drugs as an extreme last resort. (Unless you have the specific form of carpal tunnel that can be permanently fixed in a day with a minor surgery in exchange for lower grip strength?)
Good dependency injection results in flatter code rather than more layers. Dependency injection simply moves the dependencies to the top of the program rather than the bottom.
Cloudflare once deleted one of my domains because the NS records were set in the wrong order.

Ask HN: I have an idea for a SaaS and need opinions
I've been nursing an idea recently for a SaaS. The general idea is it is a REST API builder, created in a way that allows each user to buy a subdomain managed through VPS and built to auto-scale. Within this subdomain the user can create as many RESTful endpoints as they wish as well as write or upload the function that handles the request.

I think for this to be really useful I would have to create tight integration with some form of DB hosting so that the endpoints would be able to easily interact with the users data. Let me know what any of you think.

I post this in the hopes that nobody will snipe my idea but if you do at least invite me to help haha.

Cloudflare does support standard TOTP-based 2FA like most people use for Amazon and Google. So whether or not the lack of U2F support should matter depends on whether you actually use it elsewhere anyways.

I agree (and I'm fond of the word "paradox" too).

Interesting link, thanks.

I've tried to reconcile that paradox by seeing it as a matching problem which requires both candidates and companies to be overwhelmed with attempts to find a good fit with each other.

However, reading the linked article gives another perspective on it. Which is, frankly, a worrying perspective for candidates, in that it suggests the labour market is shrinking and bifurcating (just like everything else these days) into "haves" and "have nots", where crossing from the latter to the former group may be getting more difficult with time.
Thank you for such an inspiring piece
It's lamentable that these incompetent talking heads have a strong motivation to rule, since they see it as a validation of their worth. This generation of politicians has too many of them.
The problem I have with many of the modern frameworks is the tutorials is extremely simple or they are far too advanced.

Also there is a lot of jargon around each frameworks. So a lot of the time, I just give up and go back to jQuery, Handlebars and event delegation as that does 90% of what I need.

> the recruiter indicated I had a magic datacenter that did not have problems with cross-connecting many, many hundreds of GB/s in a mesh

Well, then this is different than your original description, I'd need to get more details about the problem but he is right that machine to machine connections in a data center doesn't scale very well. This might not be a problem at the scales you are used to but it is a problem at Google scale. This is a very common problem that is not obvious at first when you work with data centers, I guess he just assumed that you would know this. Knowing your background you would probably adapt to it quickly on the job, but I guess they just asked the same question to every experienced SRE they got?

Edit: Another problem with your solution is that you used a static sharding strategy and didn't consider that increasing demand in the future would force you to reshard the database. Downtime might be accepted in the video game industry, and there you most likely wont even get much more demand than day 1, but using sharding strategies which lets you reshard in real time without downtime is more or less a must on the projects I worked on.

> you get fed deceptive information by your local officials

> you have the power to enforce city-scale quarantines rather effectively.

These two things cannot possibly both be true, which is why people are skeptical that authoritarian regimes are good at this kind of thing. If you can't trust what your officials are telling you, you can't organize and maintain a quarantine, an effort that requires detailed coordination to keep the quarantined area well-supplied enough to avoid most escape attempts.

This is not to say that democracies are "good" at it, just that the idea that authoritarian regimes can actually control their people any more than democracies can is mostly a fantasy.
"It is frankly entirely predictable that we don't really know what to do when one happens, and that we'll collectively be generally complacent until it is on where ever our doorstep happens to be."

I would only look into getting a patent if you can easily deduce what the algorithm is by using the product. If not, getting a patent will make the algorithm public and only protect it for a certain amount of time. Keeping it secret, like the recipe for coca-cola, could be the better move.
I'm unsure how this would work in the US though. Everyone being on at-will employment, if you're sick you still have to go to work and spread the disease, otherwise your employer can fire you.
The biggest pain in the bum with early consoles like the NES is all the cartridge hardware you have to muck about with. I'm sure most of you reading this already know but the gist of it is that NES cartridges had their own special chips inside them that were there to improve the abilities of the NES over time.

Stuff like better scanline interrupts and Japan only sound chips (Due to changes to the cartridge port in the west) which you'll probably know about if you decided to listen to Castlevania 2/3's soundtrack on Youtube and found it different to what you remembered. The most common feature was to turn the character rom into a pseudo or even proper RAM so you could use way more graphics and tons of nifty techniques that made stuff better.

Anyway, from a quick sift through this looks like a good site and far nicer than a lot of console development sites.

> I have seen studies that suggest engaging with incorrect beliefs does nothing to prevent their spread and might even encourage them.

If there's anything I learned from my experiences in organized religion, the skeptics' society, various mental institutions and a career in criminal justice, it's that confronting irrational targets (or salesmen!) just teaches them how to better-reinforce their own flawed arguments and behaviors. They learn what rational people will come at them with and learn how to counter or subvert it, which helps them become even more persuasive to their next mark. Now they sound more intelligent and authoritative, which is precisely what makes them so dangerous!

The same advice applies to internet trolls. It's hard because it's instinctual, but never engage-- smile and walk away. Don't give them an opportunity to learn how to exploit or undermine the thought patterns of a rational person. If you don't yourself drown in their sea of circular logic, you're just giving a malicious organic learning algorithm free training data at the expense of your time and sanity.

If you starve them of attention, they can only feed off of each other-- to predictably amusing ends. Without outside input, then like any cult, they eventually become an incestuous feedback loop of lunacy that deviates so far from societal expectations of normality that you no longer have to convince anybody of anything since they do it for you.

It's an expensive side project for sure, but it doesn't have to be anywhere near as expensive as that.

My own side project uses a server with 20 cores (2x E5-2690v2 CPUs), with 256GB RAM and a 2TB SSD. This is a dedicated server I rented from tier.net in Texas, after seeing it listed on webhostingtalk [1]. It costs about $160/mo, and that's recently fallen further by paying for 3 months up front.

I don't know. Sure, maybe not on your barely-broadband DSL connection, but I'm pretty sure you can run most things on a average shared webhosting, even if you're using WP. You just need to make sure that you have a working caching system in place. It's a gigantic difference even on an apache to just read & send a plain file and invoke PHP & run all the costly code. I don't believe HN should bring down any site that can essentially be cached as static HTML.

Cloudflare will only help once your server has gone down with their "Always On" thingy, if you have that enabled. They don't cache HTML by default.
Neat! Congrats on the launch - the demo is very helpful to understand the product. Having consumed long, painful PDF data dictionaries in the past, this is a big breath of fresh air. Excited to see where Syndetic goes!

For me, the most painful part of working with 3rd party data was actually figuring out the "match rate" to internal data. For example, you might be a consumer-facing company who hopes to add more context to your internal data by pulling in 3rd party information for existing clients. To match your internal data to a 3rd party dataset, you usually match on some hashed email (or similar identifier) to see what percentage of your consumer records will be available in the 3rd party dataset. Have you thought about something like that with your tool? Maybe you can upload a sample of hashed emails and see how different match rates pan out.
Snel is still under development, it won’t be publicly available yet, but we hope to improve code base, add support to multi-tenant over a distributed network and more cool features, so it will be open-sourced in the future.
