I can't vouch for a complete absence of hidden prejudice, and I'm sure sometimes things happen that people perceive as discriminatory (e.g. on team outings, not everybody automatically remembers the vegetarians when picking restaurants, and one person's jocular lunch banter might be stepping on the trunk / kicking the cross of another person's deity of choice, etc).
You don't even have to forward, gmail can use POP to fetch messages from your email provider and it will also send mail via your providers smtp gateway.

If gmail goes down the mail will just remain on fastmail.

I do this for my own domain and it works fine, the only caveat is emails can be delayed by 30 minutes or so as gmail uses some heuristic method to time its POP fetches.

Its a good solution as you get gmail features like classification and auto reply hints, but you can ditch gmail at any time if google become too obnoxious.
"Potato registries"?
I'm sorry you're being downvoted, I see where you're coming from. The misunderstanding is that OSM is argued to be not a map but a database. The homepage at openstreetmap.org is meant to be a sort of dummy viewer, showing what data is there and that you can have different styles, it also integrates a popular geolocation service (Nominatim, this is the component you're complaining about) and some routing services. But it's all just a demo and not meant to be the best one could offer. There is no proper user testing because it's not a commercial company and also because it's just a simple demo, similar to how one might have a demo for some JavaScript library that shows many or all of its features but not necessarily in the best or most integrated way.

The idea is that this database can be used by anyone, e.g. OsmAnd, the openstreetmap.org homepage, Facebook, Apple Maps, Mapbox, GraphHopper, etc. provide various services on top of it. Nominatim, the component you're having trouble with, is indeed fairly picky in its input.

But do mind that you're comparing this to Google, the company on this planet that is the undisputed king of search. I'm not surprised their search function works better than this open source project using an open source set of data. For what it's worth, if you stick to common address formats and don't put in abbreviations like a country-specific postal code (it doesn't look for results near you, it just searches the planet for what you typed; it has no knowledge of where in the world you are as it doesn't track you -- yeah, maybe it should), then it works fine, or at least as reliable as the underlying data is.
Thank you for this article.

I have read the article. It's mostly a comparison between medical and non-medical cloth masks, in addition to reviewing basic properties and measures of effectiveness for masks in-general.

Until a cloth mask design is proven to be equally effective as a medical or N95 mask, wearing cloth masks should not be mandated for healthcare workers. In community settings, however, cloth masks may be used to prevent community spread of infections by sick or asymptomatically infected persons, and the public should be educated about their correct use.

This may well be true. The basis for such a distinction would be a deep point and counter-intuitive. I'm not sure it's present here, though. There is very little on the absolute benefits or effectiveness of non-medical masks. Here's what I could find:

Participants made masks from different materials, and all masks tested showed some ability to block the microbial aerosol challenges although less than that of medical masks (11). Another study found that homemade cloth masks may also reduce aerosol exposure although less so than medical masks and respirators (12).

and

Cloth masks can be made in large quantities in a short time. They can be reused after being decontaminated by various techniques, ideally washing in hot water with soap. Other methods or products include using bleach, isopropyl alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide; autoclaving or microwaving; and application of ultraviolet radiation or dry heat (16).

Also from this article, which are relevant to claims that mask-mandates have zero cost:

The general public should be educated about mask use because cloth masks may give users a false sense of protection because of their limited protection against acquiring infection (16). Correctly putting on and taking off cloth masks improves protection (Table). Taking a mask off is a high-risk process (34) because pathogens may be present on the outer surface of the mask and may result in self-contamination during removal (31).
Isn’t freezing/lagging after a couple of minutes of use a symptom of an ailing software ecosystem, not a criticism of the hardware?
We built https://tripinstructions.com as a little hackathon project earlier this year

Considering building it out a bit more

Would love any feedback or suggestions anyone might have

It’s absolutely baffling for one of the leading tooling providers in the software development cycle they do not have internal competency to...track if their tool actually works or performs, and beyond that they didn’t proactively reach out to customers to at least get verbal direct knowledge while the telemetry was stood up.

Instead they “prioritized” a legal change in the ToS.
Nope. I'm tired of all the BS, doublespeak, and boring work with no future.
Is the phone saying its connected to 5G?
Why wouldn't that station increase their gas prices to make it viable if the community depends on it?
Really? I don't like that Twitter makes me to reword and abbreviate words, just because I'm 2 characters over! Any medium (pun intended) has the concept of paragraphs, but does not typically limit you how long the paragraph is. It could guide you not to go overboard, but to force you to a certain made-up character limit - it's not really acceptable in 2021.

Pyenv is not only useful, I would argue it is recommended and a must. For the simple fact: you will need a different python installation than the default on your machine. This also helps keep everything separate.

Tox is another great tool, but imho only if your project has a strict requirement for multiple python versions. Otherwise, it's a waste of effort.
Lol no, most of the times, either Employer/Companies, Rental/Lease Companies, or Fathers are the owners. The users/drivers are employees, or family members.
You don't need to be especially wealthy to own your home via a corporation. It's essentially a one time cost of a few hundred dollars plus a small annual registration fee.

Presumably this law still will be easily avoided by the sufficiently wealthy-- some kind of finance structure involving loans and whatever where a nominee is the legal beneficial owner. ... and outright criminals will just break it, because its not like violations of it will be detected quickly and if they are detected the criminals will already have worse problems.

Or just purchase a 'real' business that engages in some unrelated activity to own the property... Which is something just about every money launderer already does! It just has to be over the size threshold in this bill, essentially leaving this avenue open only to the wealthy.
I recently moved to fastmail and it was a great experience.

I like how they have wizard type things to help you setup your DNS records for SPF and DKIM - I know how to figure it out, but its nice to just cut and paste.

They also support 2FA for the admin account, and you can make a bunch of dedicated logins for each app which you can disable easily if a device is lost or compromised.
Private health care in Europe.

The cost of public health care is staggering and the quality is abysmal.
If you can afford it, if you have something serious and you don't want to wait for ages or get poor equipment or lack of testing, you'll go private even in Europe.

I'd say private health care in the states is very successful as well (high quality and research) but the prices are ridiculously inflated because of government / insurances.
Most of the traffic comes from Product Hunt and Twitter. I'd share my update very frequently in my tweets. Also, I will study who is my initial paying customer, so I get to know which industry has potential market, then I just go after/outreach those potential users in particular area.
Everything relevant to the reader is captured by the twitter post of the developer. What does macrumours, or the verge from an earlier post, add?
I don't think people realize just how common hijackings were in the early 1970s, with sometimes two hijackings on the same day. (Between 1968 and 1972 there were over 130 US hijackings.)

But after a hijacker threatened to crash a plane into a nuclear reactor in 1972, the FAA introduced passenger screening and metal detectors. Before that, there was basically no security.

An interesting article: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/29/11326472/hijacking-airplanes-e...
One thing I've done to combat this is to aggressively tamp down on things that vie, or worse yet, call for my attention. I leave my phone permanently on do not disturb mode (pagerduty and immediate family are the only exemptions). I use greyscale settings to limit my interest in phones in the evenings. And, if you send me push notifications for ANYTHING I didn't expressly request (like a status update on a pending uber), I'll manually disable notifications in the system settings for the app.

The greyscale one in particular is fascinating, and I can feel the effect immediately if I disable the greyscaling in the evening. The colours are like candy for the sensory system. Instagram is downright boring in black and white :)

I wonder if there is some way to configure the same black and white mode on my laptop between certain times.
I'm not American, so I'm not really that up on the US federal government's response.
Agreed it could be a little more ergonomic, but it wasn't a blocker. I was able to figure it all out in a weekend, and write plenty of services with it.
I am not arguing in favor of Excel! I hate Excel. I don’t have it installed on my personal devices. I never use Excel unless I have to. I am saying that Excel does specific things that are widely used in industry (especially finance and industry) which are not supported by Calc and that Calc is not a good replacement for many businesses.
Isn’t a Global Hawk, Triton, or similar with high altitude loiter capabilities and StarLink support not a more pragmatic option for such a role? They’re also unmanned. If carrier support is required, there’s the X-47B/X-47C vehicle.

Platforms should go high and slow (but faster when necessary, when in range of bad times). Ordinance should go fast, very fast, with no people onboard.
I agree and wholeheartedly recommend this blog post series.

It's something every python developer should read because if you're not using poetry for example, then you're making your development life more difficult than necessary.
Or we could place the burden correctly on the delivery company, and require them to work with the restaurant to create the optimal delivery experience. Say, by mandating that delivery companies actually have to get a restaurant's agreement before advertising their food.
Android has an awesome app called Lock me Out that does just that. I don’t think there’s the same for iPhone.
yup, 480p videos from 2010 look very dated now when everything is 1080p.
No sane judge would accept that that is a valid clause in a ToS.
Interesting. Why targeting money specifically? If someone claims that people should not have secrets about their wallets, others may claim no one should have secrets about their bedrooms. After all, "It would be a big deal only because it would shatter current expectations. Society would operate just fine if everyone's affairs were public. The aversion that people feel towards it is largely cultural - if they were brought up in a different society, they wouldn't feel that way" right?
How do you even run a randomised controlled trial of mask usage?

What's the double blinded placebo for a mask?

Assuming you could even get an ethics committee to sign of on the experiment.

I agree the data could be helpful, but I don't think that's the 'right' way to get it.
I haven't seen this included in the "what you can do with this" section but my first thought was that you could use git in there and save your usage over time.
Sensationalized title, rather. You're right but it's not the author's, Christopher Beddow's, fault.
So the perfect distraction?
Even less time if devs add these to CHANGELOG.md with each user-facing change so that it’s already compiled for you.
I've tried to convince a particular manager to try GitLab Issues. (We already use GitLab for git/CI anyway).

Seeing that I'm not just the one who thinks it's so ridiculously frustratingly bad-slow [as in, it's impossible to be this slow even after multiple rewrites unless it's some kind of bizarre experiment by Douglas Adams' ghost] will likely lead to us dropping JIRA for good.

Thanks!
How do you manage or work towards long term goals?
The rent is specifically chosen to be 30% of gross annual income which works out to be exactly that magical 40x ratio that's typically used in NYC rental qualification.
> who says this is an "issue" its just numbers. If you think its an issue thats your interpretation.

No, this is a quote from the comment:

"This is what people mean when they say the performance problems are everywhere - viewing issues, viewing boards, viewing comments, opening dropdowns, closing modals? It's all slow."
I'd say individual. You are letting people to condition you into becoming obedient killer and believing it's a virtue and worthwhile skill.
Do you guys not use the tool? How is this news to you? Couldn’t you self generate this issue list by just sitting in a locked room for 45 minutes and writing down everything you know already doesn’t work?

> He and a colleague crunched the numbers and hypothesized that ‘Oumuamua was not actually cigar-shaped but possibly a disk less than a millimeter thick, with sail-like proportions that would account for its unusual acceleration as it moved away from the sun.

Just a q: I guess we didn't have the certainty about the object's shape that I assumed we did? It's pretty fascinating if we weren't even really certain that it was cigar-shaped, or at least if there was some wiggle room on the idea.

The other factors mentioned are also intriguing:

> It was at least “ten times more reflective than typical solar system [stony] asteroids or comets,” the author writes.

Huh. Fun to think about the possibilities. As for probabilities though, no idea there. After all, what we think is probable is basically anchored in our extremely short past as a tech-savvy human civilization, a temporal blip to say the least, on the chrono-spatiograph which is the wider universe.

Sure it does. Execution is a permission you can set in the security tab.

This is more likely why.
Anonymity is for people who influence our laws, not for people subject to them.
US Air Force policy is "the best at any price, to obtain air dominance."

So you will never see an affordable choice.

The only exception is refurbished F-5s for misc. base operations, and training aircraft.
Eventually you have to buy more hardware. The Pixars and Google have the most to gain from added expertise.
I look at HN discussions. I deliberately look for technical subjects where people, in apparent popularity, claim cannot be solved or will not work versus the practical application for users in a business sense.

In the broadest of terms this frequently boils down to boring technology solutions to common business problems people are afraid to solve out of inconvenience. More specifically, recent subjects have included anything about privacy, IPv6, security, and just about anything disruptive to online advertising.

Edit:

I go out of my way to do the opposite where discussions popularly advocate for something with false expertise or clearly based upon a faulty premise. Examples of these subjects are security in software development, anything related to mental health, law enforcement, and so forth. All the garbage that seems popular online but is antithetical to real life practice from paid professionals.

> In a dream world of course, everything would load in < 1s (everything drawn, everything interactive), but working our way down to that will take time.

FWIW our on-prem install uses <1s for opening issues, running a search etc. Too bad that's a dream world you've decided should no longer be...
I mean, Trump has personally benefited from anonymous shell companies (Essential Consultants LLC; it was unmasked because Cohen is Not a Very Good Lawyer; there's also one associated with his re-election campaign), so it doesn't seem _that_ outlandish a question... His stated reasons for vetoing weren't particularly credible.
It was introducing in windows 10 release 2004. A lot of users myself included are still stuck on the 1909 update because it does not show up in our list of automatic updates. This usually happens if Microsoft update determines that some of your hardware may cause BSODs with the new update.
I can't find anything in the law which restricts disclosure of the information in any way, much less makes disclosing it a crime (as it is for tax returns, for example). Is there some thing I'm missing?
certain addictive apps like twitter, I keep off my phone. Happy to spend a half hour at home browsing sites like that, but I don't want to be glued to my phone while out and about.
I have a plenty of niche domains too and I try to gather contents focused around those niche areas and it's been awesome to see people flocking around those contents! (potential future users?) :)
A restaurant is already allowed to refuse to sell arbitrarily. They have the right to freedom of association, just like anybody else, with narrow exceptions when it's targeted at protected classes. And restaurants are already allowed to do all sorts of things may depart from the gospel of revenue maximization.

This is the sort of thing we expect to be taken care of by the free market. If signing up with a delivery service is truly in their interest and aligns with what they want their business to be, they mostly will. And if not, that's fine.
The maximum capital gains tax in the 50s was 35%. Doubling the current 20% would be the highest in history.
It's not that brittle, MS backward-compatible supports a lot of APIs, but ... the upper layers on top are just vendor-ware shit 99% of the time. (Even/especially their own config/setup wizards/GUIs.)

I mean a bash script that handles no errors and outputs nothing just screams madness. The same thing wrapped in a .MSI .. well, you'll never know what hit your, and if it's your job to somehow unfuck this, it's virtually a piece of literal hell itself, slowly rotting and eroding people's soul and mind.
Isn't the Sukhoi Su-57 pretty evenly matched with the F-35? Idk if it can hover but it looks pretty awesome.
Some sites have already been approved prior. We generally discourage our users to apply for AdSense initially (most likely it'll get rejected anyway) - so instead we recommend using other ad platforms (there are plenty).
Any version from 1.0 to 10.1809.
Well, it's ambiguous whether the social media action was needed or helpful.

It sounds like this was resolved through the appeals process and may have had the same outcome regardless.

Unlike some other controversial cases, this one did seem like a basic misunderstanding on Apple's part (specifically the reviewer/reviewers), and not a tricky judgement call.

The social media probably didn't hurt though, because the OP was professional and persuasive.

Well it might be the next 20, 25 or even 30 at this point.
It varies.. some ad platforms are quite poor in terms of their payout (definitely not in AdSense league), but we are working on various features for more monetization options (e.g. direct advertising)

It's pretty clear in context that they are discouraging detailed performance benchmarks as a proxy for reverse engineering. Not some kind of gag on complaining that "JIRA is too slow".
Well, vendor lock-ins are everywhere almost right? We can allow some data export, but currently this isn't available - not necessarily a feature frequently asked for either, so we don't really have an immediate plan for this yet.
I work in defense and it just makes me laugh when people cite money spent as putting us somehow ahead. We spend $10 for $1 of work. My scrum master has never heard of Git. I am in hell
It's seriously inferior in most ways.
Libraries can be (and some actually are) designed with that in mind, with COW (copy on write( types that can be either borrowed or owned. Speaking of performance, kstring (of liquid) goes one step further with inline variants for short strings.

I want to say that seems like a valid concern but in practice I've seen it come up only rarely.
Saying what all european think is a bit of a stretch.

I'm European and I think zero things should be public. I absolutely don't like the European Union and where it's going.

The problem is that if you don't have any incentive to make ends meet because you're spending someone else money, slowly but surely you'll have inefficiencies in the system.

Too many employees, someone making sure a public contract goes to a friend for more money than it should, politicians expensing flights right and left, a service being provided which nobody uses (think about some bus lines).

The same happens in large organizations where who's footing the money doesn't have visibility. The government is the ultimate giant corporation - with the added bonus of not having to make a profit!

We can't say for sure how much money we're wasting, but government spending always grows bigger and I don't see public services improving or providing more value over time.

The last pandemic highlighted how much worse public health got in many countries in Europe. How did that happen and where did the money go?

An inefficient government starts eroding public services, spending the same and offering less, until there's a big crash and then there is nothing.

We saw a bit of that in Greece, we'll probably hear more from Italy soon.

I think we're years away from a collapse similar to the one experienced by eastern European countries post Soviet Union.
If you're serious about dating you need to talk to women, not spend money on dating apps.

Thanks for your perspective. My son is looking at Miami(OH)'s new RE program. Theirs is a blend of required ME, EE, and CS classes with students adding an additional 2-3 courses in one of the 3 areas.

My biggest concern, as a parent, would be having him be a jack of all trades, master of none at the end of his BsE and having a hard time getting hired or into a Masters program.
