It feels like Hey is trying to solve a bunch of problems already solved by other email services. If anything, the problem with gmail and the like is they try to be too smart and end up getting it wrong. It feels unreliable when an important email ends up in the wrong category.

Outlook and the like have the sweep feature which makes managing email quite easy. The built in unsubscribe tool works very well.

I think maybe the premise is that people don’t know how to use their existing tools well, but then I don’t have confidence Hey will do a better job. They tried to get me to watch their CEO explain it for 37 minutes.

The other thing I find questionable is how this would work with third-party email clients. Anytime the service tries to ‘reinvent’ email, it ends up breaking standard features, like being able to use your own email client. Look at gmail and how their tags concept translates to e.g. imap

Edit: I assumed DHH was running Hey because he’s been complaining about it so much lately.
Yes, I thought so too. But wondered if it might have been a comment about the general state of the Internet instead.

I love email because everybody has it. I'd love it if all my clients, friends, colleagues, family members all used the same platform, or that all those platforms could communicate with each other.

Email is the only communications tool that can communicate between servers that already has the critical mass required to make it useful and not just a cool toy for enthusiasts.

That said the only people I ever email are clients or my girlfriend. Feels bad, man.
I asked before in HN and someone pointed me to hibid.com, that's where I looked. The auctions come in wave. Sometimes there's no companies need liquidation. Sometimes lot of companies need to sell. Just wait a bit for the upcoming auctions.

Edit: Here're some MacBook auctions currently. https://hibid.com/lots/?q=macbook. You might need to wait for an auction local to you to come up.

How do you recommend doing that?
This has been said for the past two decades. I have yet to see anything beyond ideas/hype.
Whenever I see Full HD, I think fist-sized pixels. However, it's an 11-inch screen and the article mentions: "The display on the EVOO is FHD 1080p, not the 1366x768 typical of many cheap laptops". So in this case, I think it's not all that bad.
FreeBSD Renames “Master Boot Record” to “Main Boot Record”
I made carwala (https://www.carwala.co) - an easy and secure way for people to contact you if anything happens to your car.

You sign up with your phone number, add some details about your car and purchase a membership. We send you a high quality windshield decal that people can scan to contact you if you need to move your car, or if your car has been broken into, etc.
> you wait for the engineer to write tests

Which, if we're doing TDD, involves no waiting at all, since it was already written before the implementation. Ideally anyway.
I actually did (half) do this since that post.

I bought one Watterott TMC2208 board and found that it was an easy drop-in replacement, compatible with my microstepping configuration, except the motor connectors needed flipping round else they ran backwards (if you're making a drop-in replacement for another product, and you have the option of making the motors move the same way as the other one, or the opposite way, why would you not just make them move the same way? the mind boggles).

Satisfied with this result, I tried to buy another one for the other axis but could not find another Watterott item on eBay, so ended up buying a no-name one, and it looks basically the same except something is weird about the microstepping modes, and I haven't been able to select a microstepping mode that is suitable, so I've given up on that for now. But at least I've got one quiet axis now, and if I come across a Watterott TMC2208 board, I'll know what to do with it :).
As far as I can see only XNOR is depicted and it is done so correctly. XNOR is just XOR followed by a not, which does give a 1 when the input is two zeros.

This is where my family roots are from and this is the impression I get from them. No one in my fam actually embraces the rebel flag, but all the other characteristics you mentioned fit the bill. They generally abhor politicians and just want to be left alone, to live and let live. It was a very poor region until after world war 2, when the economy started to modernize.
Hardware makers basically can't write good software.
Starting a New Elixir Project
Not sure about new projects, but Amazon.com's front end is built on perl (not sure many components behind it use perl, but perl is the presentation layer). You can see references to mason still in the HTML source. https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::Mason.
I get the point, but it feels very 2015. You can manage notifications with fine granularity now lol. I don’t get how people still don’t know how to properly use async chat.

>> The sheer look of glee and pride when he gives a tour of all the automation around his base is infectious, and although he doesn't share my amazement at my conclusion, I can't help but think that he's already doing what most engineers I work with do every day, and he doesn't even realize it.

One reason why I can't really get into Factorio. It's too much like work.

The funny thing is I do code at home, for fun, in my free time- or I used to when I had a clear line demarcating my "free time" from work time (I do AI research and I mostly work from home, so most of the time I'm working on something that I really have to work on). But Factorio is just ... too much like work.

... dah, I can't explain it :)

Aeron's are easy to find for 300-400 at a local used office furniture store. (I live in Houston, so your availability may vary) I have one I bought new at home, and used ones at the office. Can't really tell the difference.
> the answer is simple! your brain has EVEN MORE UGLY HACKS on top of this to avoid you seeing that.

Only computer programmers tend to describe biological systems in deprecating terms like this, calling them ugly hacks, klugy, etc. As if we know best what's elegant and what's klugy. I wonder if perhaps we do this because we would never have the practical intelligence come up with a solution like that. It's not a great look for us.
This so much. Just ask me the question with a greeting attached. Lots of people seem to want a traditional conversation with back and forth greetings. Many times I reply with the “sure, what’s up?” and not hear back for an hour. Sigh.
I did make loads of bread. Can probably find somewhere a picture of the 1st one.
If it wasn't a bot but a human, we'd typically have an unbounded conversation, except by the bounds of politeness, until I was satisfied one way or the other, so that seems a reasonable protocol here, perhaps with some reasonable upper bound on the time spent (an hour?) to avoid putting a potentially unbounded commitment on human participants. (Actually, "We've been chatting since four, I have somewhere else to be" is a pretty good signal of humanity... and should help you see why you're not going to win this bet.) I wouldn't expect it to take more than a few minutes, and I would expect to be wrong in (much) less than 1% of sessions.

What is the G only device doing that degrades performance on a dual band wireless network?
Lucky you. I've been scouring craigslist/ebay/offerup for good deals on T460s/T470s for a while. The cheapest I could get is $400 for a laptop with i7.
I wouldn't call it "European", but yeah, we don't have that kind of true wilderness in central Europe. Scandinavia is a different story. Let's say it is more a city dwelling issue.

It also depends on what kind of nature you have around you. In my case, mountains. Others have deserts, forests, jungles, arctic... Some principles transfer well, others not so much.
It's inconsiderate of others to write/say things in a way that requires the other person to spend unreasonable amounts of time and effort figuring out what the hell you're talking about.

Some people just don't care about being considerate, so they don't bother.

It's the same sort of thing as using clean dishes in the break room and not washing them afterward. You save yourself time and effort at the expense of making someone else do it.

Actually, it's probably worse than that. The writer might save 30 seconds at the expense of forcing the reader to spend 5 minutes puzzling out what they meant. Or, if an email has wide distribution, 1 minute saved for the writer might result in wasting 30 seconds for 100 people.
I think it's somehow related to the hackernews hug of death. I was reading halfway through the older story and got the same issue.
Having a monthly "Show HN-athon" would be nice (or is that already a thing and I always miss them?).

The article doesn't really say how video games will be used. Will it be homework? In school? Lab time? I could see video games being an ok medium for showing examples of things, but I do find the arguments a bit strange. For example it brings up the Rutherford model. I imagine it's outdated or incomplete, but people go get physics degrees where people learn to genuinely understand that topic. It might be disappointing that school can't satisfy a person's love for a specific topic, but schools are supposed to be holistic and introduce you to many ideas. Also, this seems very science focused. I don't see how games would help with literature classes or a writing class, where the primary task is to understand a topic and construct logical arguments to defend a point (I know not everybody's classes were like this). Even in math, I don't really know how much this would help. The main way at getting better at doing proofs is grinding through proofs (which imo is fun and doesn't need a game component).
They're great for acute panic, but are not a solution to a chronic problem. Research shows that some antidepressants and 5-HT1A agonists work in the long term for anxiety, though.
I made an LED simulator!

I've been building an ESP32 LED framework for a couple of years, and thanks to some great advances in AVR emulation, we can now emulate an Arduino in the browser and preview the patterns.

I also made it into a desktop app that can flash a new firmware to a real device over wifi. Super fun.

Biologically yes, you are all your body cells. You are your brain as much as you are your intestines.

But psychologically it depends on what you identify with. Most people identify (wrongly) with their consciousness.
If your application has any structure at all, you can often just run the tests for the part you're changing while you're working and committing locally. Once you're ready to push it you should probably run all the tests first even if your language has static types.

I think a lot of this is related to class. In the US at least rich is sometimes used in relation to money/lifestyle and sometimes (usually?) used to refer to class. Class wise it refers to upper-class or people who don't have to work. So if you asked one of these affluent tourists if they are rich, they might say no as in 'no, I work for a living'.

Ah, yes. COD: Diff EQ, the TI-83 of the 2020s.
It uses a ridiculous bastardisation of Dijkstra's algorithm to work out the shortest set of operations to get the piece from where it is to where it needs to be. This includes a way for it to notice that it would like to run into another piece, and then add to the search tree a copy of the current node, but with some operations inserted at the start to first move that piece out of the way.

It's in here, but not for the faint-hearted: https://github.com/jes/autopatzer/blob/master/mojo/lib/Autop...

I did try giving it an accurate model of the acceleration curve of the stepper motors, so that it would do the set of moves that actually took the least time, but that led to strange motions where it would deliberately move pieces too far, and then back again at a diagonal, just to minimise the number of corners it needs to turn, so I instead just made it do a simple shortest-path, because it looks more natural to a human observer.

I.e. instead of going 2 squares right, then 2 squares up, then 1 square diagonal up-left, it would prefer to go 4 squares right, then 3 squares diagonal up-left. It takes less time, but looks stupid.

I'm in Germany and the last four times I bought via thinkpad-forum.de. As the name says, it's a board for Thinkpads which includes a marketplace. From my experience, it's considerably cheaper than buying in shops or on Ebay, and the machines are usually described very well. People on the forum are mostly very knowledgeable and include information like battery cycles and stuff like that, so you know very well what you can expect. I would think similar forums exists for other countries as well.

As grzm and brudgers pointed out, the goal of such comments is simply to point curious readers to related threads they may find interesting. If there were a problem with the repost we'd mark it a dupe instead. Reposts are fine on HN after a year or so, or if a story hasn't had significant attention yet. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23150065.

I've been looking for a brief, unambiguous phrase that can point people to related threads without having to spell all this out every time. A reader suggested "See also" which seemed like it would hit the spot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23150065. I guess not!
I'm not sure what that statement has to do with mine. Many medical procedures/visits that don't need to happen right now should nonetheless not be postponed indefinitely. Dental cleaning is certainly one of those. Others are operations to correct chronic pain or to forestall a future emergency.

Now, you're certainly welcome to think that we should continue pushing those kind of visits/procedures out indefinitely but health officials in most places disagree.I'm being quite conservative in general but I have gone back to the dentist since they reopened.

Thanks! I do have a (still private) repo that I will be making public eventually. My plan was to finish the white paper and initial draft of the spec, but I might be able to pull something small together in the next few days. I'll ping when it's ready!
I've worked with Perl for many years and still actively develop for it at work.

IF you deliberately ignore some of the crufty parts of the language (ie you follow "Modern Perl") it's... ok. Perfectly possible to write good code with it if you understand the quirks, but you have to be strict to avoid the stereotypical "line noise", and not everyone is. Some parts are legitimately awesome though: Moose, for example, is a fantastic OO model that I wish was usable in other languages (although you do pay for it with long load times).

However, the ecosystem and community have been struggling to keep up with the rest of the world for a while now, and where you used to be able to assume that CPAN would yield something useful for most tasks, that's becoming increasingly untrue, and a lot of projects are now abandoned.

I still reach for it for small things, but I wouldn't start a large project with Perl now, I don't think.
This is awesome. I assume it was created to point out problems with the apple store?

I bought a Lenovo Ideapad 100S 4 years ago for $160. It is similarly crippled by 2GB RAM but the board has footprints for an additional 2GB and an undocumented M.2 slot for storage. It's low end but has one of the nicer keyboards with usable edit keys which was my primary motivation for choosing it. I don't get why we still have to put up with crappy keyboard layouts on widescreen laptops.

Quick Tips for Mastering Pipenv
Yea, that's a fact that most people miss. Every transmission on the same channel as your wifi network slows you down. Every time two devices on that channel transmit at the same time, they both have to retransmit. They both wait a random time before retransmitting, which is good, but then they do the retransmission at a lower speed too, occupying more channel time, in order to make it more likely that their transmission succeeds. This can mean that every device eventually gives up on high-speed transfers, and starts sending every packet at the lowest possible speed.

I sized the squares on the board so that there would be enough room to slide a piece orthogonally between 2 other pieces, but was actually not able to make use of this property in the end.

The problem I faced was that when I had magnets that were strong enough to be reliably grabbed by the electromagnet, they were strong enough to repel each other if they got too close! I went through quite a large selection of different magnet sizes before I settled on the final one (which is 6mm diameter, 6mm tall, neodymium cylinders). They're strong enough to be grabbed by the electromagnet, and weak enough that 2 pieces can be in the centre of a square and a corner of the square without moving apart, but unfortunately still not weak enough that a piece can slide in a straight line past another piece.

When there is a piece in the way, it works out whether it would be shorter to move a piece out of the way, or to route the long way around, and picks whichever is shorter.
