Erm, Lisps were used back in time for many production systems when C++ wasn't even started. Looks like your definition of esoteric and production is based on couple of years of cheap CS courses.
> Migadu also limits you number of going mails a day.

So does gmail (in their case to somewhere between roughly 150 and 500 depending on how you use the service). So does basically everyone if they don't want to get marked as a spammer and have their emails not delivered.

Migadu billing based on the number of emails per day is novel (to me), but having a limit is normal. Billing based on emails per day seems reasonable. The limit isn't strictly enforced either (per their website: https://www.migadu.com/en/drawbacks.html).

> have you read their Terms and Privacy policies

I have. They seem both reasonably short and not at all obnoxious. What issues do you have with them?

2k/month a head

Minimum wage in Seattle is $12/hour. $12/hour x 40 hours per week x 4.3 weeks in a month is $2064.

Presumably, that's before taxes, etc. (Yes, I know Washington doesn't do income tax, but you still have to pay federal income tax.)

Obviously, boutique-style businesses aimed at wealthy clientele can be made profitable. But that's not what most people are dealing with.

I never said that daycare cannot be profitable. Just that these tend to be tough things to make profitable.

Similarly, some restaurants are making a killing. But most restaurants have slim margins. And daycare is generally considered to be a tough business as well for various reasons.

Good point! Still, I could swear I saw someone (@FakeUnicode?) do exactly this once, but of course I can’t find that tweet any more, partly because it turns out that search engines don’t handle ﷽ well at all, and I don’t feel like testing it on my own followers somehow.

Edit: it looks like it might count it as two characters, so that’s only 140 per tweet.
Note that SGT's coroutines are stackless, whereas this article's coroutines have their own stack.

It's also worth noting that you don't need asm to change the stack pointer, if you don't mind being imprecise about its exact value by the size of a function invocation frame or so: you can use alloca() or variable length arrays to do arithmetic on the stack pointer! https://fanf.livejournal.com/105413.html

Personally I have no desire to go back to an office--which I haven't done regularly for years--although I do sincerely hope that business travel/events starts ramping up again. (And, if they don't, I'll probably find myself making changes of various sorts.)

But I can certainly understand someone who wants to 1.) Get out of their house and 2.) Be around people during the day. That said, based on what I'm seeing at a lot of tech companies, I expect going into an office will be an awkward and not terribly comfortable situation that doesn't have a lot of social interaction for the balance of this year and possibly beyond. I think you're going to see a lot more social not distancing outside of professional business environments than within them for quite some time. And a norm where most people go into an office most of the time may be dead at a lot of companies.

Probably outside the US.

Several spots in British Columbia, Canada come to mind. Other possibilities include the Netherlands, maybe New Zealand.

I've been a slow nomad over the last 15 years or so, with stints in Nevada, SoCal, Texas and the Pacific Northwest.

Although I'm settled down now, someday I'd like to have a couple places in different countries or locales and be able to work from either one.
Yeah, showing the number of views is against the interest of people looking for domains.
Hehe, didn't even know what a fiend was until now. Better not let my kids interact with them (so I corrected it)...
That might have been a poor choice of words. I said across 2 posts separated by the response "Couldn't one adopt and have the same experience?" ... "Doesn't that mean that having children is basically selfish?". In context, by "is basically selfish", I meant (I guess it's not 100% clear) "given adoption is possible, on top of/instead of is ...".
Definitely! It has a much slower peace than BsAs, but quality of life is pretty good plus it’s quite stable economically and socially speaking. If you are in the tech industry you will have plenty of work, and if you export software you have some nice tax exceptions. Judging from the outside and being your neighbor, i’m quite worried about the direction Argentina is headed right now.
well duplicate posting lowers the signal/noise ratio too.

how about, maybe, deleting the duplicate posting instead of bothering people that contributes with genuine personal opinions based on first-hand experience?
The law already does something like that. If I run the hypothetical blog host conspiracy-blogs.com, and I manually select ten posts I like to put on the front page every day, I can be prosecuted if I select a post for that saying something like:

Tomorrow at 10 AM, join me on the steps of the capitol. Bring your gun and a sign that says "we will shoot you unless you vote no on bill 123.".

The action described is a crime, soliciting others to participate in it is a crime, and my deliberate choice to show it to a larger audience is likely enough to subject me to accomplice liability that virtually any criminal lawyer would recommend against it. If violence actually occurred, there would be an ever lower bar for the victims to clear to sue me. Planning crimes is unambiguously not protected speech.

The proposal described would subject any sufficiently editorial algorithm to similar liability.
I love British humor as well! I must admit, if one drinks (I don't), it must be easier. Also, being "white" helps, I think.

Sure, but biological inclination is the best available explanation to the degree that I'm not sure it has any competition at this point.

Ubuntu 20.04's mdadm package doesn't appear to have a crontab entry for scrubbing actually (while 18.04 does). It does have e2scrub_all, but does that serve the same purpose?
That's been the heuristic since the 1950s. Now we have much more data on low-dose ionizing radiation. Regulations still assume linear no-threshold, yet no one has definitively shown that anything below 100 mSv causes harm or good using vast amounts of data (c.f. US natural background of 3 mSv/yr). Thus, my rule of thumb is to start worrying only if I get more than 100 mSv either acutely or integrated over a year.

I worry a lot more about eating hamburgers than anything less than 100 mSv.
This is spot on. The fact that the U.S. does not have A single payer system and an estimated 600,000 annual medical bankruptcies is grounds for a total revamp. That and the fact that the U.S. spends twice as much per patient with no better outcomes than countries with socialized medicine.

Technically UberEats etc aren’t charging the restaurants for delivery, but for marketing - “you’ll get more orders by being on our platform” - at least that’s how they’re selling it, and I suspect it’s true at least for some restaurants

> My understanding is that ZFS forces you to be a lot less flexible with which size drives you put into the array

That is true, however you can be somewhat more flexible if you go for plain mirroring. Then "only" pairs of disks need to be the same size.

Until not too long ago it wasn't advised to have wildly different sized drive-pairs in the same pool, but IIRC some work was done which alleviates this concern.

Mirroring also allows for more affordable upgrades in the sense that you "only" need to to replace a single pair with bigger drives if you want to increase capacity without adding more drives.
> Is running your own delivery system actually cheaper?

For two reasons: really not. Deliveroo barely promisses to make a profit and that’s with a lot of things for them.

1. It’s surprisingly complicated to run that kind of service. They key issue is schedule: sure, if you have a couple of cousins of yours on mopeds, that’s simple enough but that has no economies of scale. If you want to have 15 people, your sanity will be challenged whether you try to use pen, paper & text messages or dedicated scheduling tools.

2. Scale is everything. More specifically, if you deliver from one restaurant, half of the time, your riders are coming back empty. That really lowers your effectiveness. Deliveroo works by having many restaurants and many customers spread out so that a bike can pick up from a restaurant that is closer.

If you want more details on the numbers, I‘ve answered lower in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23292414

> If a restaurant is not operating at capacity, their incremental cost of more orders is low; if a restaurant needs to expand capacity to fulfill new online orders

Most restaurants can easily increase how many meals they serve if they know about it days ahead. The market for fast-order cooks and front-of-house personal is fairly liquid (shockingly so); tables not expandable especially at peak shift. A way you can see that is how enthusiastically restaurants expand their terrasse as soon as it’s possible — there’s never a second kitchen that opens in the back alley to match. Deliveries were leveraging existing capacity most of the time. “Dark kitchen” or delivery-only kitchens were suggested exclusively to be closer to customers.
exactly, as far as the previous pandemics go this one is fairly mild, have you heard of the Hong Kong flu of 1968? Killed over a million people, we haven't even heard of it.

> Many non-fiction books are effectively a 'very good essay' in the first couple chapters, followed by N*100 pages of lower-quality expansion

I wonder if an essay club, rather than a book club, would work. You pick something short enough that it's easy to read, but still with enough ideas in to talk about. You then have time to either dig into the text really deeply, or use it as a prompt for a largely unrelated but still interesting conversation, HN comments style.
True. But is there that much of a difference between "working from home in Palo Alto vs working from home in Boise"?

Probably not.
I spend a lot of time dicking with embedded C code. I think using goto is reasonable some cases. The classic case is to short circuit a block of code when there is an error of some sort.

function(){

// early returns here.

// stuff
// more stuff

if(oops_err){
goto some_error;
}

// yet more stuff

// normal exit
return 0;

// bad exit
some_error:

// clean up

return oops_err;
}

The above is fine, you avoid a convoluted execution path. Or cleanup and a return in the middle of a function. Looking at the top of the function you see early returns. Looking at the end you see the normal and error exits.
As a husband of a now full-time wife, who decided to stay on external parental leave to spend more time with our child and improve her career skills (in whatever little free time), I'm deeply saddened by how society sees this kind of work. Every couple of days I have to reassure and remind her that what she does - raising our child, feeding us, caring for the home - is a real job, is a hard one, and it's more important than mine. I just push buttons on the keyboard for 8 hours a day, and somehow convince people to pay me for it.
I don’t find Zoom to be an acceptable alternative to in-person meetings. I don’t like the lack of separation between work space and home space (especially since my spouse also works). I miss having support staff available in person.
Before this, I wouldn't have remembered unprompted that there was a 1956/57 flu and, even prompted, I couldn't really have told you anything about it. My understanding is it did spread fairly slowly and didn't affect the US much. Perhaps the far lesser amount of international travel at the time played some role.
15.1 is not a version. Since MariaDB 10.2, this is not possible as strict_trans_tables is enabled by default in sql_mode.
On the other hand, life is short, time is finite, and there's more to read and do and learn than any one person can do in a lifetime.

Time and time again I read things only to regret it later because I didn't get my time's worth out of it and probably could've spent that time on something more useful.

It's less a question of style and more a question of content. Do I feel like I'm learning something insightful or important? If not, I start to get bored. If it's a book people recommend a lot, I force myself to keep reading, and tend to get more and more bored. I might or might finish, but in the end I usually regret it. It's very rare for a book that doesn't start out well to do a U-turn and get good towards the end.
We already have a number of statistical ops (e.g. correlation) available, and we are planning to add more. The exact timeline I cannot promise, but feel free to open issues with the specific operations you are interested in/you think will be useful. We are always happy to review PRs as well :)
Right, I don't think I meant it quite like I may have put it, more that I've seen commits by juniors have multiple unrelated fixes, instead of documenting said issues and being unable to track them.
> Perhaps every pointer could be implemented not only as a raw pointer but one with a "valid" range attached

The main problem with this is that it's incompatible with every existing system C ABI.

There's also the problem of real-world C code converting pointers to integers and back again, but the compiler could define uintptr_t and intptr_t accordingly and code that uses other integer types is broken anyway.

> it is possible to create a new kind of "top-level context"

I'm not familiar with that, it sounds like quite some effort but I'll grant you that likely it can achieve what you claim.
It doesn't matter if they're the best by an order of magnitude if their jerkiness demotivates 10 other people. And I doubt that 'order of magnitude' statement.
Totally agree, this makes for horrible reading - why would you think light grey on white was a good idea?!
How is East Palo Alto doing? Serious question, when I was still in SFBA I think the houses there were 2 times cheaper than across the highway and the joke was the weather forecast goes "Palo Alto sunny, East Palo Alto sunny, stray bullets". I was wondering if I should buy a rental house then (~2013)...
I'm with you. I don't want a knockoff macbook, I want a modernized T420 thinkpad with a huge battery and a good keyboard.

Anecdata, but I had a Dell xps 15 with discrete nvidia graphics. Similar numbers to yours. For my next laptop I got a Thinkpad X390 and this little 13" laptop gets about 4-6 hours on linux, without any tweaking.
I tried reporting content labelled as "nazi flag" in an iOS app to no avail. I submitted multiple tickets in different places, sent multiple emails to Apple and to the application developer.

Yet nazi flags are still present on the home page of Divoom application. Also present in this ages 4+ rated application are plenty of drug symbols and other assorted strangeness.

I spent way too much time with this and am amazed just how non-responsive Apple has been.

Always wondered about this - do I just email an news outlet and tell them "my story" and see if they roll with it?

I'm starting to advertise my business around with the idea of growing a userbase before the official release. Ironically enough mentioning a link to it on my previous HN comment lead to more visitors than either of the Facebook or Reddit ads that I put up.

No matter how large the bias (unless it's "astronomically" close to 1), there will be, by the law of large numbers, some world populated by life of the opposite chirality to the favoured one, due to it arriving first there, given the size of the universe.
Whatever solution you use for your legal address could also provide a dedicated VPN and even mail scanning/forwarding. For example, renting a shared room in an apartment with 9 other roommates (one or two who live there full time), and use the premise Internet connection for a VPN server with a nice clean residential IP. Even more practical if there is an option to stay overnight occasionally, and your full-size residence is only several hours drive away. I can even see these type of arrangements arising naturally when roommates move out. Watch your MTU though!
> but you will be limited to the utilization of the lowest capacity drive on the larger drives in the pool

Small, but important, correction: the drive size limiting is per vdev. A pool consist of one or more vdevs.

So say you have a pool consisting of two mirrored vdevs, one with a pair of 3TB and one with a pair of 4TB drives, and one 3TB drive dies. If your local supplier don't have the same 3TB disk in stock, you can take a 4TB or similar and pair it with the old 3TB.

The pool will then still have a capacity of 3+4 = 7TB, but at least each mirrored pair will be intact.
These are people who are living remotely. It's probably better than they pick a place where the land is less productive, since they intend to live off their coding skills. They can leave the productive land to the people who need it.
Some of the more popular extensions have thirty+ million users, and this is for trivial fluff functionality. When you hit up the extensions dealing with adblocking or say, interacting with Instagram, they can hit 100+ million easily.
To be fair, bracket abuse is pretty widespread. Lisp, at least, is honest and very consistent in their use. And I don’t find things like [](){} particularly readable (that was valid C++ syntax, BTW).
We don't need (many) carbs either, yet it's the biggest part of our diet and has been for a long time. We still call it a nutrient.

Renting a PO box (or other front address) in a high cost location such as SF or NYC is going to open you up to tax liability there.

Fact Check: false. Local taxes are owed based on the physical location the work is done.

Though there are many other reasons that this is a bad idea.
To the extent price is correlated with quality, you should very much be concerned about how much the restaurant is getting out of your $10. If they get $9, you can expect some quality food. If they get $1, then let's hope you have a strong stomach.
Remote work threads have been the biggest cliché of HN since the pandemic (and were one of the bigger ones already), and arguing about location-based salaries has been the biggest cliché of remote-work threads lately. So normally this follow-up post would get a moderation downweight (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). But I'm lessening the downweight because it seems to me this bit may count as SNI (Significant New Information):

Employees who attempt to wiggle around those compensation adjustments will be subject to “severe ramifications,” [Zuckerberg] said, as the company needs to account for employee locations to avoid violating tax laws. Zuckerberg said Facebook will monitor adherence by checking where employees access its VPN. Facebook also uses its own apps' to track employee locations, according to CNBC [...]

(See https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... about SNI.)
No what I mean is not that it encodes more constraints than you can reason about, but that the way some libraries abuses the type system to encode some of the constraints can cause more problems then it solves.

>Where exactly do people go to bars without meeting friends group they don't already know?

For example, I've met plenty of neighborhood friends by going to live music nights at nearby bars and restaurants. The music was an "excuse" to go to a place I didn't know anyone.

In my city, there's also been bar nights specifically about meeting people, think speed dating but without the emphasis on dating.
My work laptop is a 7490, and it's great. Dell really blew it out of the water with this model.
