It's hit and miss. I've been running hosted mail services for years, both for myself and for a handful of other people and businesses.

SPF and DKIM are pretty much required now, as are TLS/SSL. From there, it turns into a dice roll. Gmail is terrible about this; they have a totally opaque and very frustrating engine that sometimes filters messages into a junk folder and sometimes doesn't. Outlook.com uses a somewhat more traditional internal RBL, but they are happy to block network segments and they don't offer any way to query their blacklist or request removal from it, so you could do everything right but a neighboring VPS or IP will get you blacklisted anyway. Comcast will simply accept delivery of messages and then disappear them depending on an arrangement of the stars that I haven't quite figured out yet. And those old sbcglobal/Yahoo services users... just, uggghh.

A popular solution is to rely on a third-party service to handle your outbounds. Sendgrid specifically is really bad, they carry way too much junk traffic, so don't go with them if you decide to try this out.

I have a post banging around in my head that's titled "Email is fractally broken", and getting outbound non-spam messages to reliably land in other people's inboxes would be a significant part of that writeup.
I'm of the opinion that most people in the US good people who could be convinced not to endanger their neighbor, and wear masks voluntarily, if the messaging is right, and if they aren't forced to do it. If forced, a lot of people won't comply, and rightly so. Governments here have no right to force any such thing.
$20,000 in 1900 is worth $619,971.43 today, so not sure what your argument is. It's not the raw number value that matters but what people can buy with it.
Not sure if this is what you meant, but the point of the article is that he achieved the feeling of financial freedom that millionaires have by spending less money - "what it was like to get rich". I think there are pretty big differences between feeling like a millionaire and being one. And presumably the author does as well, because they kept many of the millions he got from selling his company.
Small scale reactors, built in an agile fashion, seems like a significant departure from the types of projects you describe. I agree with making predictions, but I think they should be limited and testable predictions. If you say nuclear is a dying industry, I'm going to say you're painting with too broad a brush.

I don't disagree that nuclear appears to be on the wrong track, but I've learned that people often conflate doing something wrong with that thing being impossible to do right.
I’ve mostly gotten jobs by recommendation, and mostly not had good interviewers. (Not excited to be starting a job hunt right now)
The US could never do it because the federal government does not have that authority. They have lacked leadership, but they were also uniquely positioned for a world of hurt going into this.

The UK is doing about as well as similarly populous countries nearby. Which is to say, not well at all.
Lol yes. I can't think of many reasons to use IDs.
And it has been eliminated before the summer months.

Also in many places in Australia it was eliminated well before winter.
The problem with testing is that a negative test today does not prevent you from catching the virus tomorrow. All you have to do is be in contact with someone who has it.

So you can't just test. You also need to avoid contact with other people, unless they have also tested negative. The White House clearly was not doing that. Even if they had, the tests are not totally reliable.

Given the number of people who come and go from the White House on a regular basis, it's kind of a surprise they didn't have an outbreak earlier than they did.
> The browser must not provide automation features. This includes scripts that automate keystrokes or clicks, especially to perform automatic sign-ins.

If a web developer knows what they are doing they are using the standard web APIs supplied by the browser in an efficient way, designed to be invisible to accessibility for accessibility test automation, and thus this control from Google is largely unenforceable. As such I believe this is just a block against incompetent forms of automation that probably shouldn't be there in the first place.
> I don't think AWS had S3 as file system in mind. There's EBS for that.

EBS isn't a file system, it's lower level than that (it's. block store, hence the name; you bring your own filesystem.) EFS and FSx are filesystems.
New Zealand is an oil and gas exporter. They have their own gasoline refinery as well.

This doesn’t maximize batteries, it impoverishes transport budgets (public transit and reading) and is a tax rebate primarily available to the wealthy, like solar panels.

There are good reasons to electrify the the transport system, but the transport network will still need to be funded.
Is there an up-to-date resource like r/SurfaceLinux? The compatibility guide in the side bar doesn't even list to Go devices.
This feels like guerilla marketing for a mystery movi
Yes, nobody is arguing for unfair labor practices.

For another example, Sears used to be the king of mail order. Famously, you could even mail order a house! It was delivered on a pallet and you got to put it together. I used to buy lots from the Sears mail order catalog. It was fun just thumbing through it.

Amazon wiped it off the map, from a garage.
I am clearly missing something, but at that point, why not just allow the client (presumably a web app running in a browser in most cases) to just make requests via SQL? You would of course want to add authentication/authorization layers. You’re want record and field level restriction. But if the entirety of you data is in an RDMS, why put this “REST” paradigm in the middle? Why not just admit you’re querying a database, and query the database? If the only reason is access control, it seems a simpler solution must be possible.
Most of these controls are a blessing. They are blocking gross incompetence from front-end developers who don't know ow to do their jobs. I say this as a front-end developer.
It's a question of what winning means I think. In terms of profits, they might be winning. If it's market share though, they are not winning, and that means there is still an opening for open standards.
> couldn't you go digital and bring your own keyboard?

Sure, if you own a forklift. Pro digital keyboards weigh in the 80-100 pound range.
It isn't even necessarily 'residential' IP's. It's IP's that don't have a valid reverse dns, preferably one that is also forward resolvable. Most ISP's won't let you set your reverse DNS on 'residential' connections, so it ends up being a blocker. Now you could set up a vpn tunnel to a vps provider that lets you set your reverse dns, and then things get a bit easier.

So prereqs -
1) Valid reverse DNS on your sending IP. Preferably with a hostname that is also forward resolvable.
2) SPF Records
3) DKIM
I was thinking the linked video would be this. Free Churro is my favourite episode(well there's Time's Arrow, View from the halfway down, The Old Sugarman Place, Fish out of water) in any TV show ever.
Show HN: About Deep Learning, Machine Learning and Neural Networks
Wow, that is super interesting honestly. I'm sure that was cheap as dirt to make, and reactive enough to pull off the effect. But still awkward as anything I'd imagine.

Almost reminds me of the Data Glove, the prototype idea for the power glove controller for the NES, using fingers and tilt sensors as button inputs to the console.

The idea was prototyped in a few days by an engineer by attaching drinkings straws from your wrist to the end of your finger, shining a light on one end, and having a photo resistor to read it on the other end to see how far you've bent a finger. Super cheap low latency finger movement detection. It was later replaced with fiber optics for reliability sake.
How does this compare to ActiveJDBC? Features look similar, with slightly more Java-ish queries
Ever heard of iframes?
Please pardon the HN behavior. Downvotes doesn't mean you're wrong, just as you said, it doesn't resonate with what people experience, hear and read. I am sure most people here would agree with the facts. We read you in a slightly gray font, it's fine.
I fail to see how they can possibly do this in a way that isn't trivially worked around by just embedding the same code as the full browser.

I guess their best bets are detecting non-fullscreen screen sizes on mobile, requiring Widevine or requiring Chrome and adding some proprietary authentication code, but all these are problematic and can be worked around.

Also of course both Firefox and Chrome support automation via WebDriver and WebExtensions so not quite sure what they plan to do with "The browser must not provide automation features".
I'd say coachability does get you hired, networking is what gets you interviewed.
It does a lot of good. Every little intervention really helps, even if it's seems far from perfect.

It's because the system as a whole is balanced on a critical threshold. It's like water boils at 101°C and condenses at 99°C.

The point is to reduce R below 1. When R > 1 the disease gets almost everywhere eventually. When R < 1 the disease fades away and most people don't get infected.

Currently R is above 1, but it's not a lot above 1. (We're lucky. There are other diseases where it's much higher.)

So even if you have been spreading on those 4 days, you are not spreading from days 5 onwards. That might be 10 days less spreading.

You are not giving it to large numbers of people in those 4 days either. As a spreader, you're adding risk to others, but only 1 or 2 will get it directly from you probably.

When you isolate on day 5, that's a reduction in the amount of spreading and it reduces R. When your traces also isolate from your day 5, that's a further reduction in the amount of spreading and R. That's recursive, if their traces also isolate, it's a further reduction, etc.

Altogether, if everyone follows these changes, there's a reasonable prospect of R falling below 1 enough for the disease to fade out. Because it's close enough to 1 already, that behaviour can make a significant difference.

In practice people do not comply, and they lie sometimes (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-55011790). So R does not fall as effectively as it would if there was high compliance. But every bit of compliance helps reduce R.

When R is consistently < 1 due to social changes, regular testing and behaviour changes in response (even with days of delay), tracing, social distancing and masks and workplace changes and commute changes, etc. then we will find the disease fades away.

It looks unlikely this will happen until we have widespread vaccination in some countries (USA is one of the leading examples), but the more we reduce R meanwhile, the fewer people will die or get long covid in the end. And fewer here means in the millions.

Discouraged over job prospects

age 24-55: 311k

age 55+: 170k

Discouraged workers are persons marginally attached to the labor force who did not actively look for work in the prior 4 weeks for reasons such as thinks no work available, could not find work, lacks schooling or training, employer thinks too young or old, and other types of discrimination.

Yes but the instruction set is only a tiny part of conpatibility. Intel and amd have generally standardized on ACPI for hardware discovery for example. But ARM has not. This means there is no Generic way to know what the capabilities of arm system are. That's Just one of the issues though.

I wonder how long the API will remain supported. It's really not serving the master's will. Then all these open source readers will be dead as well.
> Is it not the case that taxpayers in the U.S. can write-off interest on their mortgages? That's insanely regressive.

With the 2018 tax changes, a lot of the itemized deductions are capped and the standard deductions raised. I think I've read now that 90% of the filings are for standard deductions.
I really think the reality is more boring than openness vs closed-ness as kinds of existential threats to each other.

Given large enough and open enough markets, there’s niches for multiple approaches, whether that was the DOS/Windows approach of proprietary software and commoditized hardware, the Apple approach of proprietary hardware and software that uses open standards (which was also more or less the Unix workstation approach), the Amazon approach of commoditized compute and storage, or the FOSS approach of commoditized software on commoditized hardware which has further subdivisions that gave rise to Linux, GNU/Linux and multiple BSDs. Even MINIX and L4 have niches that they can and do fill, and isn’t QNX used in a bunch of cars?

The economy, American, Global, European, wherever you want to draw your lines, supports all of these approaches simultaneously because they all have benefits and drawbacks. Not the most exciting statement to make, so as an idea I feel like it just gets overlooked. People will use what they will wherever it makes sense and others will look at them funny and wish they did something different.

Still, it’s something to behold that the same decade that saw Apple make more money while locking down and shedding supplier relationships and most of the open standards they used to support also saw Raspberry Pis, Android replace at least three major mobile OSs, the web become more closed off (compared to the prior decades), RISC-V, Microsoft buying GitHub, and Raptor Computing Systems selling open POWER9 workstations. I don’t pay them much mind but I hear System 76 is doing well for itself selling good Linux PCs.

I wouldn’t worry about computers becoming more locked down. Even second and third rate machines in their class are pretty good these days.

Very random Jaguar fact that I love: The plastic mold for the console was later used for a wall mounted dentistry tool, which used the cartridge port in some way.

Ingenious! That should go in all your public profiles and business card.
I find it impossible to believe that at all. The new Reddit UI is essentially just a reskin. The Digg "redesign" was an entirely new concept that radically changed the purpose of the site. The two aren't comparable at all.
This is interesting, and I hadn't heard this about herd immunity before. However, I kind of imagine that at some point in history a lot of our ancestors died from things we don't even think of as more than nuisances now.

Right—I totally see both sides here! Some transitions are absolutely necessary, and worth the trade-off.

Part of the problem in my view is that, if you're going to make these sorts of switches, you ought to be planning ahead 30+ years. If you told me USB-C was going to be the last iteration of the format (at least for several decades), I'd be okay with some weirdness in the interim. By contrast, if you told me the USB forum was going to introduce USB-D in 2030, I would absolutely not be willing to put up with this.
Yes, we are benchmarking all of the components we use in Supabase, including the end-to-end system here: https://github.com/supabase/benchmarks/issues

We still have a few benchmarks to complete, but PostgREST has been thoroughly tested now. Steve just spent the past month improving throughput on PostgREST, with amazing results (50% increase).

tldr: for simple GET requests on a t3a.nano you can get up to ~2200 requests/s with db-pooling.

... Or better standards that don't require JavaScript. The jump from "we need seamless navigation" to "let's use a Turing-complete language" makes zero sense.
>Look at the arm laptops that are released. Not a single one can run Linux.

Some of the earliest ARM laptops ran Chrome OS, which is an image based Linux distro (vs package based).

People have been running more recognizable distros on some of these models for a long time, with varying degrees of success.

Take it easy on the hyperbole. There are definitely options.

I noticed a very strong current towards employee wellbeing emerge in companies where upper management wants everyone back in the office (for various reasons), and then used to justify why permanent remote work isn't an option. Cynicism is well-deserved.

Your mileage may vary, of course. Your perception on the team might be true, or it might be that people are afraid of saying how they feel for fear of being singled out. We're just sharing anecdotes.
I have read elsewhere about researchers at least trying to develop 15-minute tests. Not sure what the status of their work is, but some think it's possible -- and they're specifically targeting entry checks.
It's somehow easier to be a follower here, Apple set the trends for years, Android only had to replicate and sell cheaper.

Please define the distinction between "'these studies'" and "the best studies".
So the biggest difference by far is the "inverse" bit.

Instead of taking a set of parameters, reflection coefficients, material colors etc, and generating an image, the inverse renderer takes an image and tries to derive the parameters.

As they mention in the video, this allows for a lot of interesting usages which you cannot really do in a forward renderer except by brute force.

Rather than reading yet another article about how there’s all that COBOL still out there powering critical systems, which should comes as no surprise whatsoever to regular readers of Hacker News —— why not read a book about the deeper reasons how and why old technologies persist, and the ethic and duty of maintaining them. Specifically:

David Edgerton, The Shock of the Old: Technology and Global History Since 1900 (2006).

Andrew L. Russell and Lee Vinsel, The Innovation Delusion: How Our Obsession with the New Has Disrupted the Work That Matters Most (2020).

You won’t agree with everything in those books, but they will make you think deeply about old technologies and the stories we tell ourselves about innovation.

Not discounting the pandemic. But how good it was before could be debated further around how much those income gains were slurped up by rising education/healthcare/housing costs.

Furthermore income isn’t everything. If wealth inequality wasn’t so great than even those unemployed would be able to weather C19 must more comfortably.
graphql kind of does that.

SQL is very complex, T-SQL is turing complete, meaning you can do lots of damage. you can bring servers to a halt if unchecked. It's pretty hard to restrict what can be done keeping flexibility.
I live in South Australia. Taxes here are already high for everything road related; we already pay taxes for roads as part of Vehicle Registration (excluding compulsory 3rd party insurance); pay council rates (goes to roads), income tax (goes to roads), capital gains tax, and have a 10% GST (which may be 15% soon) which all feeds into the roads. Other parts of the world are providing incentives to EVs; but not here.
> Because their hands are too small to play demanding repertoire – certain pieces are literally "out of reach" due to the large chords involved.

There is an unspoken assumption here from the word "literally": pieces of classical music are written in stone and are not allowed to be transcribed to fit the player's hand.

That assumption is about as coherent as anything you'd read in a Qanon Facebook group because:

1. Transcriptions from dead composers like Busoni are allowed in competitions. So if you're dead and gone, your transcription is a "work". If you're alive and playing in a competition it's not allowed, unless the student is making emendations to an already transcribed piece. So Liszt-Busoni-student transcription, perhaps ok. Beethoven-student transcription, definitely not ok.

2. The above exception is probably rationalized on the basis that these transcriptions generally add another dimension to the music. But composers like Schumann were constantly voicing chords in their own music to comfortably fit their own hands, often at the expense of more complex or compelling voicing. Yet these composers' pieces are to be played exactly as written in the competitions.

3. Hell, Beethoven was known as a goddamned master improviser. Just throwing that in there...

4. At least for tonal music, the tones of most chords can be found within a single octave. Additionally, there's a perceptual phenomenon where one can leave out a doubled note in a widely spaced chord and the listener will perceive it nonetheless.

5. It turns out that human creatures are little analytical machines that can interpret the function of chords, voicings, phrases, etc. Outside of some very famous voicings of some very famous pieces, these humans can often leverage their ingenuity to find perfectly valid, functionally equivalent voicings that both fit their own hands and the character of the music.

The piano competition world essentially says to its students to learn all these things as part of a well-rounded musical education. But then it forces them to ignore them and adhere to a set of arbitrary strictures shared by most competitions. That might make sense if the strictures were necessary to judge all the performances on a more or less objective or at least normalized basis. But competitions rely on the taste, deliberation, and fairness of judges who generally hear different pieces from each student. So you get a vicious cycle of students who are rarely forced to think critically about how to transcribe pieces for competitions, and some them later become judges who lack those same skills and thus default to perpetuating the same unquestioned strictures of competitions.

Anyway, if you changed that stale culture, there wouldn't be any need to change the size of the pianos because adapting the music to one's hand would be common practice. And if one thinks of how resistant the current culture would be to changing any of those strictures to help students exercise such an important skill, what makes one think they'd be any more open to changing something as fundamental as the size of the piano keys?
