> In all these cases expert human judgement is needed, it is not wise to automatically deploy changes by developers

Isn't this code review? This can and should be enforced before it goes to automatic deployment. If not, what other expert human judgement is needed?

Yes, you need to reach a certain quality bar of your automated testing, and you may choose to implement a canary system before full deployment, but I see no reason to avoid automatic deployment once these safeguards are in place.
How is one supposed to vent there? I don’t understand. Venting is talking to someone who may listen, but this is more like standing on a corner with a non-directed rant and strangers just passing by. Isn’t it better to just go to any /b?

> This is a pretty bad quote to include though. The original comment (which they at least linked to) doesn't actually say anything about IBM specifically. Rather, it references generic Notes knowledge at Google.

That's why I say it doesn't necessarily relate to the situation at IBM. As I said, journalists like quoting people to push an agenda or lend legitimacy to a story even if they are not experts or on the complete periphery of the story.

It's nothing new though, and very tame as far as journalistic honesty goes -- it is not incorrect to say that there is some email problem at IBM, that IBM has been known to use Notes for email, and that there are not many Notes experts around.

> I'm not sure it's okay to publish a comment someone left on HN using their full name (the user account doesn't currently include a full name). I'd hope they at least contacted the user before including their comment (but I'm not holding my breath).

I'm not sure what you mean by okay, but journalists have been quoting people's public utterings and public writings for as long as there have been journalists. Including taking selective parts out of context to push their agenda. If it's a verbatim quote even out of context I consider that to be well clear of the bar for journalistic integrity.

And really, anything you say in public will be used against you. And it will be linked with your person if you don't cover your tracks carefully. We all know this. No journalist is going to contact us before taking something from a comment we write here!

Arbitrary also means wide open to corruption. I imagine there is a lot of money to be made in influencing Pinterest management in their arbitrary decisions now.
Thank you for making this service available. For entrepreneurs who like to launch new ideas with custom domains, pricing models like the one here is a HUGE savings over pay-per-account (or domain) pricing found at most major email providers. Further, it's not easy making much money charging just $10/year, even if the business gets quite popular... so again, thanks for making it available.

For this reason alone, I can't trust that they meet all the security considerations email providers now have as a consequence of all the services effectively delegating either secondary or primary authentication factors (or reset mechanisms) to email.

Although I agree and don't like R very much, I believe ggplot is still the gold standard for creating top-quality visualizations. None of the python (or other language) clones are quite as good.

Interesting, the principles presented in this video seem microfluidic but it also relies on the surface tension of water so I wonder wonder what realm this belongs under.
hmmm....I did the maths. $8.88 for annual domain name registration * 20,000,000 domain names = $177,600,000. Per year. That means year after year. $177 mill this year, $177 mill next year, and so on.

Dude, if someone was giving YOU $177 million per year, what would YOU do? Be all like, "I'm tired of all the supermodels and blow that I can buy. Sure I'll give that money up."

If you contacted me about that and if I was namecheap CEO, I'd be all, "Nuh-uh, I ain't giving up MY 300 foot yacht. But I tell you what, if YOU give me $177 million per year to offset it, I'll gladly get rid of those domains. You got $177 million per year to give me?"

Screenshots of the mail UI would be awesome.

On the drawbacks blurb, it mentions potential deliverability issues and says they’re usually resolved in a day or two. Through blog entries by mailchimp, I've read this is an extremely hard problem to solve and like playing whack-a-mole. How true is that? For example, I’ve read that trying to host your own email on digital ocean is pointless, which is understandable because of the amount of spam likely coming out of their subnets. Is this service downplaying the issue?
His plan to stop YouTube users from seeing the video expressly involved playing a copyrighted song for gathered members of the public.

The copyright holder is harmed in the eyes of the law by the violation of their exclusive rights. You said in other comments they have to show it affected the market for the original work. But that's just 1 element of fair use. And fair use just means the harm to the copyright holder was justified.
Sure, but they were doing it already and now they have removed the criminal element of it so the situation has improved. While legalising reduces the criminal element, however potentially adds wider social issues. Illegal/decriminalised/legal all have pros/cons.
I keep wishing for a Snow Leopard-like release. An OS update that improves stability, takes care of bugs, and increases performances. Who else is MacOS competing with – not Windows really – is it iOS? Is that why we need more features at the expense of everything else? I recently used a 2008 MacBook with Lion and it felt good.

> Occasionally, obscure email servers will block emails sent through us.

Maybe it's good for personal use or as a throwaway email, but it is not good for main business email. Certainly not a replacement for Gmail or Fastmail kinds. Because you expect the email service to have 24/7 availability and near-perfect email delivery and receiving.

> Can I be the "lazy person" and ask which are the author's points?!

Yes, you can, and I can be the hurried person with no time to summarise, and recommend you read the book yourself. It's not like those business books that have a single thesis, backed by 100 examples to support it, where the thesis itself can be written on the back of a stamp.

I can however try and describe to you what the book is about.

It's a book about how legacy software interventions are about the people as much as about the code and the machines, with advice for aligning incentives between stakeholders, developers and managers,

It's about prioritising competing goals under different sets of constraints, with useful advice for ensuring psychological safety in your team.

It's about measuring risk, and acting on the measurements.

It's about anthropology of software-using organisations, and about organisational design, and how those disciplines inform the job of recovering wayward software projects. It's not a book about computers, or about programming, or even about software management. It's about people in organisations doing all of the above.

It's about defining the right job to do lest you attempt to do the wrong job right.

It reads like an instant classic, like a "missing manual" for running software development operations in big organisations... but with advice that's also applicable at smaller scales.

I just finished reading it and I started on Chapter 1 again. It's that good.
Back in 2014 I was working at AltspaceVR (a social virtual reality startup) and we had Mac and Windows versions of the product. I set up a Mac Mini at the office to do the Mac builds, and it also ran a Windows VM under Parallels to do the Windows code signing. (The actual Windows builds ran in the cloud and we sent them down to the Windows VM for signing and then it sent them back up to the cloud.)

We had a Digicert code signing certificate that used a hardware key connected to the Windows VM. Unfortunately it required a password to be manually entered each time the code was signed.

To automate this, I wrote a little AutoHotkey script that watched for the password dialog and entered the password.

There wasn't any RDP issue because we didn't use RDP, just a Windows VM that didn't need any user intervention. (It could have been a separate physical machine, but since we had the Mini anyway and it had the capacity, it was convenient to have it do both the Mac builds and the Windows code signing.)

I sometimes think there are few problems that AutoHotkey cannot solve.
Even if you burn the heck out of it, it has little direct risk if you're not a bird. I think the worst recorded case had someone fall asleep, burn the pan down to the base metal, and fill his apartment with smoke. All he got were some flu-like breathing symptoms (polymer fume fever) and a few days in hospital to monitor. So the chances of problems from incidentally getting the pan too hot via normal cooking seem low.

Sometimes interesting. But I recall an ugly mess on the wall of Tate Modern with a card below which included "...then we shot it with a real gun..." . Britain has very strict gun laws so most people have never used one. Use of the word 'real' left me with the impression the artist had gotten over excited at something which is commonplace in other countries, and confused that with creative endeavor.

I really see where you're going here, so I have some initial feedback:

PSA: I only tried on mobile chrome Android but I'll respond with my desktop experience tomorrow, so my comments here are limited to mobile

- rendered nicely on mobile, switched to desktop mode and then I saw the help icon top left, so layout may need to be adjusted

- the spreadsheet layout is cool but I kept thinking if a trello sorta layout would work, empty cells were slightly confusing at first

- I wasn't able to save text on mobile but double tapping did bring up the keyboard

- typing then pressing soft enter didn't save (mobile)

- back on Android triggered an undo?

- the nav bar buttons at the top didn't seem to do anything, but the embedded left/right arrows on top of the cells were amazing to make new connections, well done

- (once again, mobile) I wish I had a context menu (right click) when in a cell, or disable buttons in the nav bar to show what I'm allowed to do

that's all the feedback I have for now, but I'll check desktop tomorrow

in the meantime, I'd love your feedback on my project I'm getting started, hit me up with your feedback hackernews <at> cnuss dot com

You'll probably come to regret that. A DB per customer is a maintenance nightmare.

I remember a discussion here a few years ago about it, and there were so many voices chiming up to say 'we did this, terrible idea'.
Checked out of curiosity: it tries to confirm email existence by initiating mail sending [1] (likely very unreliably, since basic anti-spam measures would reject it before checking whether an address exists), and while it lists existence of paid services as the motivation, those paid services also mention unreliability and don't mention their motivation.

Now I'm slightly worried that in addition to counting me as a robot and an attacker, online services will think that my email address does not exist.

I wonder if you could do the encryption entirely in the client so it was verifiably secure.

Front end JavaScript generates a symmetric encryption key that is never shared to the server. User enters message. Message is encrypted with the generated key. You create the scrt sending only the ciphertext to the server which doesn't have the key and so couldn't read the message. You click a button to copy both the link to the scrt and the encryption key. You then share both to your recipient. The recipient visits the link and gets the ciphertext and then copies and pastes in the key to see the message.

If it's all done frontend like this then it should be demonstrably secure and only slightly more complicated for the users.

It does seem like they're accounting for the burden put on maintainers as well:

> Getting a contribution accepted is not a prerequisite for passing the assignment

Just to add more context to this - it's easy to create a radio device that outputs RF on frequencies outside the intended range. This is one of the main reasons we have the certification requirements to begin with. It would be bad enough to do it by mistake, but these things do it by design.

The 'amyloid hypothesis' as the protein being the cause of Alzheimer's has been the most popular for a few decades, so it's not surprising you've read so much about it. But there hasn't been much success in drugs targeting the protein. New evidence suggests that there could be an underlying cause.

I'm a fan of the theory that bacteria/viruses are a cause and that the proteins we see are an overkill immune response to that (wouldn't be the first time - influenza/covid kill some not directly but via the immune system over-doing it).
