I apparently have an email address that people either mistype often or put in thinking it is funny/bogus. I'm for this idea of sending an activation email to verify it, but not just a simple activation email it needs to have a few features in it.

First, it needs to not contain any personal information because why would you send personal info to address that's not verified. Next, verification should be more than clicking the link or typing a code. I should have to click the link or enter the code on the browser that I've already logged in with. There's major sites that don't do this and I've been able to verify, then reset the password to someone's account. Basic security thought process needs to go in to this chain of events to verify an email that can reset passwords. Finally there needs to be a link to indicate that it's a wrong email. There's spam places that use this to capture emails, but when big names don't offer this feature it boggles the mind.
It's sad that this comment is downvoted.

The saying that "the greediest capitalist oil driller won't destroy the planet not nearly as much as a 'well meaning' scientists" seems to be coming true.

The arrogance that they believe that such a thing won't have unintended side-effects is beyond what words can describe.

And NO, YOU CAN __NOT__ USE A STUDY TO PREDICT THIS.

No matter how "careful" you study will be you will NEVER be able to take in account all factors.

It's enough that some random algae which we don't even know exists starts multiplying uncontrollable and destroys local sea-life. How will you predict this?

You. Can. Not.

Sad that "people of science and rigor" are incapable of understanding that there are things you simple can_not_predict_for.

And all it takes is one such occurance and these idiotic "well meaning" scientists will destroy an entire eco system.

But hey, "they did studies"...

"It was more fun when I didn't know I was working with Nazis" is an extraordinarily bad take.

Edit: Sorry I completely misread it. I thought he said just "merged" it instead of encouraging "merge" it. Still interesting to learn about Behdad though, cool stuff about localization and language support.

Interestingly merged by Behdad Esfahbod who is also iranian. He was even arrested by the iranian government in the past

> Esfahbod claims that he was arrested by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps intelligence echelon during a 2020 visit to Tehran. He was then moved to Evin prison, where he was psychologically pressured and interrogated for 6 days. Iranian security forces let him go based on his promise to spy on his friends once he was back in United States.[2]

You can set up your SSR project very easily.

I set up a domain for family and created an email for my aunt <auntie>@<family>.<domain>

She was in a retirement community and in her 80s was Chair of the Computer Club and used to do orientation for new people. She quickly realised that she needed a yahoo account as when she showed them her one they all asked - "how do I get one of those!"
The addition of hooks feels more like an ideological decision than anything. The current fad in the JS world is for functional programming, even if misusing hooks can completely crash your application (this happens if hooks are run in an unexpected order).

I like TypeORM but have passed on it for now because of this potential sql injection issue: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/3740 I have passed a field to order_by() from the user in Django before. I would be more likely to use a dict now, but I shudder at the thought of accidentally creating an SQL injection bug because I expected to be protected by my ORM.

How does that apply to the story?
That is by design, at least in some places.

In Australia, for example, at least when I got my license, you were explicitly told that you are

"required to drive at the maximum possible speed that is: within the posted limit, appropriate for the weather and road conditions, and within your ability to maintain safe control of the vehicle".
Japan for the most part just continued with their exams as usual. I think they delayed bar exams for a bit, but for the most part school activity has continued throughout the pandemic, disease burden in the country hasn't been that high.
This looks amazing. Coincidentally, I was just looking at the Slapdash page in Zoom's app marketplace.

Comments on the marketing front:

Awesome tagline ("Work across..."). Much better than what's on the homepage now, about operating system for work. Monday.com is pushing the "WorkOS" thing[1] and it doesn't convey much. If it catches on and people start saying "We need a work OS!", then by all means jump on the bandwagon and catch that sweet, sweet organic search traffic. Until then it's meaningless.

Business users don't seem to like searching. It requires them to think, and to know what they don't know. I've seen this play out at many companies: Marketing creates a bunch of sales enablement content and organizes it in a central place like Drive, but the sales team just uses the same 1–3 pieces of content (or nothing at all). That's why there are a bunch of "sales enablement platforms"[2] that provide not just search but context-aware recommendations.

Every search product has this issue, which is why they all inevitably introduce suggested searches to aid with discovery, or even recommended content/actions to skip the search altogether.

The command line seems super interesting. I suggest having loads of templates for people, otherwise the blank canvas requires people to think too much and to know what's possible (you see the pattern here). Flexible and powerful products like Retool, Asana, Airtable, and Netlify Functions have paradoxically low activation and feature-usage rates unless they supply users with templates[3] or at least ideas on what's possible.

[3] Airtable goes a step further and lets users share their apps or discover other people's apps: https://airtable.com/universe. I imagine a bunch of your users would want the same (or similar) custom commands, so a showcase might be helpful.

PS - In the time I spent writing this, two people already commented that they need to see more use cases to understand the value, thus validating my point above about not making people think.
Sort of off-topic, but an interesting angle on handwriting recignition--
The Sony DPT-RP1 digital paper system has a stylus for handwritten notes and highlighting. They do not have handwriting recognition; however, there is a search feature to find occurrences in your document of handwritten characters _star_ and _asterisk_. Personally, I would like to see these two tokens expanded to a customizable set of handwritten search tokens. The Remarkable tablet's SDK was recently discussed [1] here at HN, and this article is inspiring in this regard.

>Contrast this with a condo in Minneapolis that I own wherein heat and AC are central in the building and individual units can set their temperature to whatever they like - all run with tremendously higher efficiency.

Is it more efficient? There is going to be loss as things get pumped across hundreds of feet even with insulation. The central system needs to run even if few units or not units are using it just in case. In Asia heating and cooling is done per room to the minimum as I understand it so "per unit temperature" wouldn't fly. And an in-room gas heater is going to be 100% efficient with no losses due to transmission.
"Waa waa, someone does not ascribe to my beliefs so they must be a paid troll!" Do you need a tissue mate?

The reason I don't make many comments is because 1, I am too lazy and 2, HN is pretty toxic in that if you write anything adversarial to HN's party line of anti-corporates, anti-police, anti-China or anti-something else, even when what's written is true, then you get downvoted into oblivion.

Also, this is a pretty terrible platform for discussions (tbh, I am not sure if there is one that is good for discussions). No notifications, no auto-refreshes, in all honesty if I really paid attention to the discussions here, I should probably be questioning my life.
But how would that be different to UB? If you let the hardware do whatever it wants that's no different to UB doing whatever it wants.

Even Microsoft’s HR sent me onboarding details by accident. I also get some official looking emails by some US administrative institutions. The list could be continued...

The worst thing is that people continue to accidentally sending these mails for me, even if i ask them to stop.

How to be truly indistractable?

Step 1: Don't be on the "less control" side of the "control over attention" bell curve.

Step 2: There is no step 2.

Distractions are not simply, as the author puts it, "your brain ducking challenging feelings". Distraction is your concentration slipping your control. Some people have that control. Others don't. And most lie somewhere in the middle where reducing inputs can help, but your brain isn't solely distracted by external stimuli.

Accept it, work around it, move on. Note that, on the "less control" extreme end of the "control of attention spectrum", working around it may require medication and psychiatric training - CBT - as it describes ADHD.
The US will require that Europe plays by the rules when it is their interest, but will bend all rules to protect their tech industry. That's why this happens.

Some kinds of performance are measurable. Tell me how long it takes you to run a 5K race and I can tell if you are a "good" runner.

In the case of literature you can't stop someone from having a crackpot opinions such as "Tolkien sux because stories about 'other worlds' are escapist and distract workers from class struggles" or "I hate Tolkien because he inspired DanMachi and other sick anime that my boyfriend watches".

The value of Tolkien as a writer goes beyond "he sold a lot of books" to the influence he had with other writers. He was a pagan but certainly had common cause with his Christian friend C.S. Lewis when it came to the books they wrote. Whether or not you think Tolkien's influence is good or fair, it is objective that the influence was vast.
Institutionalized & normalized patterns of emotional abuse. This sheriff is running his department like an abusive & controlling spouse/father.
Best doesn't mean good - as others (and you) said, to be able to claim "objectively good" you need to define what "objectively good" means and how you measure it. You can say "good runner = can run 100m in less than 10s" and then Usain Bolt it good; or you can put the threshold at 9s (nobody is good) or 30s (even I am good).
exactly, the hypocrisy is just off the charts. Or, a more generous interpretation, is that many people are just unaware of American imperialism.
Then in that case, could even interacting with the PR at all count as a “relationship”? I doubt they’d be prosecuted for simply posting this and closing it, but I’m looking from through US eyes.
My favorite ever "Impossible Color" illusion:

We spend about $150 billion per year on science funding in the US. I don't think we're being irrational by giving moonshots roughly 0.00003% of the funding. That's a generous percentage, too, considering the funding for Jim Woodward spans many decades.

but homework gets checked by teachers, right? I mean, from what I remember from my own high school teacher would spend first few minutes of each class asking about homework, somethimes simply providing the correct answers, sometimes randomly asking a kid in class to provide an answer. It wasn't graded, so much less stress than taking a test, but still you could verify that your solution to the assignment was correct.
Ember-data was definitely a contributing factor, although one could argue that you could build your own system, just like a lot of people do with React.
I would think things that have a simple objective measure are candidates. The 100m race for example, “good” = fast. Fast tends to be a pretty objective measurement.

I just created a wildcard with letsencrypt in the format of .internal.mydomain.com

My public services all run out of .mydomain.com and all my internal services run out of .internal.mydomain.com

I have my internal dns set to resolve any .internal calls to an internal load balancer which hosts the ca certs.

The downside is that all internal services are ssl terminated at the load balancer, but this makes handling internal certs easy as they're rotated in a single location. This is Good Enough for my homelab.

I only have the disorder when I have symptoms. You get it? Those symptoms are caused by my diet and environment.

I am not "Bipolar" because everyone is bipolar, every one has these states, mine are just more extreme when faced with environmental challenges.

If someone has a peanut allergy do they have a disease or a disorder? no, they have a different response when exposed to peanuts.

I use the term Bipolar Disorder because that is what people understand and it is the current medical terminology.

As far as your idiotic comment about the medication I need everyone and a while. Well, have you ever taken as aspirin for a headache? Same thing. The aspirin is only needed when you have a headache. Do you have a headache disorder still?

What I am suffering from was clinically diagnosed. I am no longer considered by my doctors to have Bipolar Disorder. Isn't that crazy!? After 35 years of being told this?

I know it's only one datapoint but recently we had four indoor airco units installed in our house for the bedrooms and livingroom. I expected a single outdoor unit. However during talks with the installer he advised us to go for two outdoor units. This was cheaper in hardware, a bit more efficient and way cheaper to install by placing one outdoor unit on the front of the house and one on the back so all rooms could be reached within a meter or so from the outdoor units.

Retest with the hearing aid settings enabled?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24363153

To activate Hearing Aid Compatibility on an iPhone with iOS 13 or later, go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices. On these iPhone models, Hearing Aid Compatibility modifies the phone’s acoustic settings to improve compatibility with hearing aids set in "T" or telecoil mode.

If you have an iPhone 6 or earlier, you can activate Hearing Aid Mode. To activate Hearing Aid Mode, go to Settings > General > Accessibility. Hearing Aid Mode reduces the transmission power of the cellular radio in the GSM 1900 MHz band, which may result in decreased 2G cellular coverage.

Without commenting on the factual nature of the content or the content itself:

The biggest headlines for you aren't the biggest headlines for me. And I get quite a different view on mobile than I do on desktop. On mobile I get blasted by the coronavirus and economy sections, which are mostly gloom-and-doom (the article about a possible vaccine is far far down the list in a different subsection). On desktop those sections are there front and center, but the other stuff is visible too, so it's not quite so in-your-face.

CNN has multiple articles/videos about the exact same topics, but the headline---although any individual headline arguably represent its article technically accurately---are not equivalent to each other.

Consider:

"Dow and Nasdaq plunge after record highs" vs "Stock Market Bloodbath: Down and Nasdaq plunge"

"Trump suggests voters should commit fraud" vs "Trump encourages people to vote twice -- which is illegal" vs "Trump appears to encourage North Carolinians to vote twice to test the system"

So, from my point of view very different pictures can be painted with just:

1. Choice of headline.

2. Choice of presentation/order.

3. Choice of material to cover.

My takeaway is that, no, I can't trust it. A charitable interpretation is that the headlines are technically true, but designed to get me to click on them. That's not truthful. (Other interpretations may also be plausible, but would require more evidence.)

For medium to large projects this is easily addressable with code splitting.

You're "almost" right. I think he was way more triggered by "closed-source", however.

Could we please avoid the term "closed source"? I disagree deeply
with the idea of "open source", so I never use that term or its
antonym. What I advocate is "free software", a totally different
idea.

---

I'm from the OSS camp -- BSD developer -- using a BSD email address to email RMS, so, I've used "OSS" term very intentionally.

Obviously, I have tried and succeeded in asking the companies to use the phone and Collabedit. To my surprise, noone ever came prepared with ssh/tmux; I don't think anyone even realises that it's a possibility; when I once offered to provide mosh/tmux myself, I've wasted a bit too much time around the whole setup that I've actually entirely failed the interview itself that time.

As for RMS -- I'm not sure if I was the one to tell him about Zoom in 2019-02, but I was left rather disappointed from that conversation -- he didn't have a way to see who I am (he'd have to have someone else vouch for me in person for that?!), he ignored my wake-up call about Zoom taking over the young minds (he requested references for Zoom being an issue -- who else other than RMS cares about these issues so much as to write whole pages about it?!), he didn't offer any concrete solution to the situation that wasn't already obvious, and he schooled me about a term that -- clearly as a BSD developer -- I don't particularly care about. My email chain shows that I've never bothered to reply back -- I had nothing else to say about the matter compared to what's already been said in my initial email.

My biggest surprise was that he's just never heard of Zoom, in a year where Zoom IPO'ed (in 2019), and $ZM was already worth 21 billion in 2020-01 even before the whole COVID19 took over later in 2020-03.
yeah as @baq said these orbits are so low they fall down to earth without active acceleration.

Of course at the current time that means these orbits are 'taken'. I'm not sure exactly how those regulations work although each launch does require approval from the nation where the launch takes place I assume.
Zend was bought by RogueWave who was bought by Perforce.

Zend was founded by Israelis, from that same article on Zend:

I am currently assuming it was founded in Israel, but to be fair the article does not explicitly say where it was founded.

Show HN: A Chrome extension to help save books you want to read
After getting tired of manually making note of all the books I find online that seem interesting (from Twitter, HN, Reddit, etc.) I made a chrome extension to help me keep track of them + the website where they come from. Thought this would be of value to some other readers out here. Would love some feedback!
The reasons for that are performance. So that one doesn't have to assume everything aliases everything else. It could be more clear though, like having explicit alias qualifier which would make it alias all and by default nothing aliases, or vice versa. Right now there is no easy way to make two unrelated types alias, one has to go via char* or use unions.

You can cast void* to something else and it will work, but you can't expect to get a random void* and presume it has some valid well defined data for you to read. You must know where it came from and what's been done to it.

As a rule of thumb if you just write dumb bytes it's char*. If it's anything else you must know what you're doing and there are ways to perform type punning that's within the spec.
