It has probably been done before (what hasn't?), but it would be unusual.

(a) the customer needs to open his DB box to the outside world. Yes, VPNs, encryption, whatever. Customer's IT operations won't like it. And that is probably enough to kill it, unless someone powerful in the organisation really throws his weight behind it.

(b) you introduce another round trip, and thus latency. Hosting the application close to the data is more natural.

I use Fastmail and it's fantastic. Unlimited domains and aliases. However, it only provides a single user per subscription. In other words, it's great if you're the only one using it and you're in control of all the other domains. If you're setting a client up with email at their own domain, it will cost an additional $40ish/year for their Fastmail user account.

I would love to find a good email provider that provides unlimited domains and users, and limits only storage capacity.

The fact that some root stores/browsers don't trust some CAs is actually quite common. There will be some cross-sign from another CA that is trusted in Firefox in this case.

That guideline doesn't mean that tech can be disassociated from politics. Nor is HN just about "tech"—see the top of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

The important word in that guideline is not "political" but "battle". When people are just trying to defeat enemies, that has nothing in common with curious conversation. Worse, it destroys curious conversation (as the guideline points out). For example, in battle, one must repeat the same points over and over—repetition is key to victory. But repetition kills curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). Worse, in battle the goal is not to explore the world or think out loud, but to overpower someone else. Communication becomes weaponized and rhetorical. This leads to entirely different discussion, and it leads people to attack each other in nasty ways that destroy community. If we don't moderate this, flames will take over the site completely.

The intention on HN is not to exclude political topics but to include them, when they're interesting, in a way that is consistent with curiosity, which is what we're trying to optimize this site for (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). We need HN users to stay within curious mode and forego battle mode.

I've written about how we moderate politics on HN many times, and the questions and answers have been pretty stable for a long time. You'll find past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so.... If anyone has a better idea about how we should approach this, I'd love to hear it. But please make sure that you've familiarized yourself with the material first, because if it's something simple like "just ban politics" or "just allow everything", I've already answered many times why that won't work.
We need to address the bullying first.

> I wonder if corded drills might be more common in the UK because your higher mains voltage means less current is required for a given power output. With conversion losses, you can't realistically pull more than a horsepower out of a typical 120V/10A circuit without risking a breaker trip, even if there's nothing else connected to the circuit. That makes a corded tool potentially much more of a pain to use than a battery-powered one, so even if the corded version would otherwise be much more cost-efficient, it still may be a tougher sell in the US.

I wonder if that's also why I've seen almost no electric/induction cooktops in American media even though from my Central European POV induction tops are safer, easier to regulate etc. than gas cooktops.
Well, at the risk of being pedantic, I think you're being pedantic: at the machine-code level, all those function calls resolve to jumps and their recursive base-cases are terminating cases of loops. Functional programming is a great way of organizing loops and jumps, but they're still loops and jumps.

> The problem is this is a very inefficient donation:

How is it inefficient? Google gave me that money for free, and I sent 70% of it to the project and 30% back to Google.

> A third of it goes to a greedy for-profit corporation that actively causes societal harm.

Also wrong. Less than a third of it goes to anybody but the app publisher. Of the 30% that doesn't go to the app publisher, some portion goes to the payment processor (usually card processor or mobile service provider, only Google if you pay with credits).

> But for everyone else who buys the app, it's a pretty poor donation method.

They can also donate via F-Droid, as I showed in my post. The fact that it costs anything at all on the Play Store encourages users to get the app from the author directly or from F-Droid, both of which give the app away for free and can show preferred donation links. They get to benefit from wide distribution and discovery via Play Store and better monetization via donation links. Compare to iOS, where the open source authors are screwed.
I used to agree with this position but after the last 3 companies I've worked for I've learned the hard way to handle it differently.

You sound like a manager who actually cares and empathizes with your employee. I had a manager like you. It was amazing. But you aren't the norm.

Going to HR will generally only draw negative attention. There is no situation I've seen where someone needed HR and HR actually did anything meaningful to support them.

I prefer to deal with each manager differently. Getting it in your HR file means you lose control over who knows what, and how it was explained to them.
Eh, my point was just that:

- Policy is largely encapsulated on the certificate properties in the root store
- Local Policy is implemented via registry keys, with somewhere like 100+ odd registry keys (... many undocumented, as they implement customer-specific features whose documentation is provided under a MSFT support agreement)
- Policy is a mix of documented (via WinCrypt.h) and undocumented flags
- The reason for not documenting some of this is that they’re flags that Microsoft may or may not support; that is, they’re implementation details
- CAPI provides, by design, several ways to fully replace their policies, either for single trust purposes or for all
- The UI exposes a suitable “general purpose” expression

I can totally understand the complaint that this isn’t clear in the UI, and as others have noted, sometimes that’s intentional.

I can also totally understand the complaint that this isn’t all meticulously documented. Not everyone can ring up their pet Microsoft engineer to get documentation and show how it connects to a problem that Microsoft benefits from helping us solve (the linked-to crt.sh bug, which as a side-effect helps provide greater automation for Microsoft and the CAs they supervise). However, Microsoft also, from the get-go, designed it to be extensible so you could replace this.

Importantly, Microsoft has been able to roll out new features, and remove trust in CAs, without major re-engineering work. That was the “beautiful engineering” part of my comment. They defined a stable API that could be easily extended, or even wholesale replaced, in the Windows 2000/XP era. That API has brought considerable improvements WITHOUT requiring rewriting your code for Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 10 to leverage that. That’s a considerable difference from some other libraries and tools; LibreSSL was hugely constrained fixing OpenSSLs broken chain building, Mozilla Firefox/NSS has undergone three complete and separate rewrites from the ground up of the engine, Apple deprecated dozens of APIs when they ported iOS’s verifier to macOS, etc. As an engineer, 20+ years of stability IS impressive!
Ask HN: Why is Agusta Ada Byron-King now being called Ada Lovelace?
I've noticed this all of a sudden. Byron-King was countess of Lovelace, but everyone seems to be using Lovelace as her last name now. It seems strange to me, like calling Kate Middleton-Windsor, duchess of Cambridge, Kate Cambridge. Is there any idea as to why this is?
My point was that something blatantly obvious to one person is not necessarily so to another person.

But a Georgian might think me a complete idiot.

They are used in some NEC commercial displays because the cool part is you get to add a small connector to the base design, and bolt on a linux computer, because the CM is just that, a full computer, designed to be integrated into cool things

Stop Trying to Optimize Your New Developers
I thought a core issue was that if you just throw firefighting money at a problem, the (well-intentioned and honorable) fire-fighting forces will find ways to use that money. Which long-term, turns into incentivizing the putting out of fires, rather than the prevention of fires (brush clearance, controlled burns, reducing/managing human encroachment into fire-vulnerable areas).

And creating almost a fire-industrial complex that justifies why you need so spend so much money.

Gold at the very least does have industrial uses. So even if everybody stops coveting it for jewelry, status symbolism, or treating as an alternative for currency, its value is unlikely to drop completely to zero. Indeed it would likely see even greater industrial use if it were less expensive. But of course, industrial use alone would not keep the price anywhere even remotely near where it is now.

The real trick with gold is that it has that nice shiny appearance that makes people covet it. As long as it maintains that, I'm pretty sure it will continue to sell at a significant premium over its raw industrial value. That said, I'd hardly be shocked if gold prices were to drop significantly, at some point in the future.
You are the one who brought up the credibility of the media. How it is ad hominem to say that there are different levels of credibility? It is not a binary in which every news organization is either "CSPAN" or "Fox News". Some organizations are more committed to real journalism than others. The Post is not one of those organizations. This story ended up there because of this fact. Even Fox News turned it down over concerns about credibility.[1] Refusing to ignore that aspect of this is not an ad hominem attack.

Macintosh: Signing Party
While IHP looks nice, it will certainly take a while to get into a similar shape to scalajs, in any case, I'm happy to see more work on the typed side for web development.

For anyone interested, Web Development is already Type-Safe and Easy by leveraging scala-js.org, being an amazing project.

It was the first project in the area to get amazing IDE support for free, where even TypeScript took a while to catch-up, and I still personally believe the auto-completion /refactor/navigation support is better in scalajs.

For people not familiar, take a look to this js to sjs comparison: https://www.scala-js.org/doc/sjs-for-js/

My preferred tech stack is now https://scalablytyped.org (like definitelytyped for Scala), https://slinky.dev/ (a small react wrapper), and https://material-ui.com/, which makes me work on the frontend at an incredible speed, while being confident on a low-bug rate.

Not sure what you mean by shaky, fail2ban has been working under Python 3 for quite a while. (See for instance fail2ban on Ubuntu 16.04 depending on python3[0].) People definitely would have noticed.

Haven't heard of that but looks very useful and integrated into everything else they do.
I'd say one of the biggest trends in the industry in recent times has been away from mutability -- and with it ubiquitous assignment and the kind of stateful everything environment that OOP tends to foster -- and towards much more controlled state management, often immutability by default, and generally a more declarative programming style.

I think the emphasis on traditional structural programming is also a very dated view. I mean, sure, at machine code level, you're ultimately doing sequences and conditional jumps one way or another, and most imperative languages do still provide general sequence, selection and iteration structures. But in the mainstream languages, numerous other control structures from exceptions to pattern matching on algebraic data types are in fairly widespread use, and tools like concurrency, asynchronicity and using higher order functions are also widely relevant.
The message effectively seems to be: "The only reason your shortcut is efficient is because it saves you time and effort, at the cost of other people's time and effort".

> But that’s a lot of work to save a byte or two.

Is it? It's something like two xors on a register. If that's a byte or two per pointer (ie: it's pointer metadata that you'd have to store anyway, which I assume is the use case) that's actually a pretty significant win, and could help reduce cache pressure, thereby buying you back the performance (and then some).

Addresses are also XOR'd all the time with a secret as a mitigation, I don't know that there's much of an impact at all.

If your funder is even vaguely competent, they'll know that "patent pending" means extremely little.

While not my field at all, I would imagine that given the relatively generic character of the source material required for concrete it might be easier to find suitable locations for extraction.
