My local bank removed a bunch of these checks from their application, presumably because they started requiring everyone use that app for 2FA now and promptly had their support lines overloaded by customers no longer being able to do any banking.

I was one of those people threatening to either walk or get another option - lo and behold they signed me up for the old 2FA for a few extra weeks.

I don't know what they were thinking, really. Rooted phones, or in my case, custom ROMs like LineageOS are quite common in these parts.

My bank is just one of many using a reskinned version of the same 2FA app, so you might want to re-check yours.
It's iOS all over again.
Computing freedom is something only enthusiasts have now.
It is certainly nice to have completions on the "command line", and the shell mode via ";" is a smooth transition (just like my experience with Julia's package manager for example).

I don't understand what it means that radian is "a ipython clone for R". Maybe that's because my experience of IPython is only through Jupyter notebooks.

The completion suggestions seem to be in alphabetical order, which means `libcurlVersion` is always ahead of `library` in the suggestions list for "lib". I suppose it will improve if somebody cares enough.

The name is super clever, I didn't get it until they told me at the bottom of the readme.
Not a good sign when the company you might hire to help migrate your systems (to their platform) can't even do it themselves.
Not OP, but I just accept wildcard *@mydomain and give out a unique name for every business. Works very well and I blocked a few businesses by which do not allow for opt-out and/or shared my address with others.

This is easy to do with the Alias feature of FastMail.
I’ve been doing the same thing for years and haven’t had any trouble except for Mailchimp. Their overly-clever validation decided mailchimp@example.com is a shared email account (it wasn’t going to be) and blocked me from using it. Their email support apologized but said they couldn’t fix the false positive, and that they hoped the email I used instead wasn’t reflective of my opinion: mailchimp-morons@example.com.
Nothing they have to say has value
Though if we follow this logic to its conclusion then using and distributing a program that cracks a trial version of software doesn't shouldn't be a copyright violation.

That said I would be interested if anyone could clarify to what extent a copyright license has any legal power if you're not distributing anything.
I'm not OP but I do something similar, which I can describe. I don't whitelist addresses, I have a domain with a catchall account. So I make up addresses as needed. When I want them to die, I add them to a ruleset on the server that punts them into the bit bucket.

So far it has been really great. Easy, effective.

Edit: Like the other reply you got, I use FastMail for this service.
If you're asking for an email address in exchange for some piece of content (e.g. a soft paywall), I find that it's reasonably sensible to filter out the absolute spammiest-looking of email addresses in order to collect more real email addresses and prevent people just rolling their face across the keyboard and calling it a day. (It can also help with bots a little bit, although most bots are smart enough to use <random firstname>.<random lastname>@gmail.com or something). The best way to do this is obviously double opt-in, i.e. actually emailing the address in question. Most businesses believe (probably accurately; I don't have the stats) that this creates too much friction. I've used Sendgrid's email verification service in the past, and the actual scoring is basically garbage but if you set the threshold really low (e.g. reject all emails with a score between 0 and 0.1) then your precision is really good (almost every email address you reject is invalid, as measured by actually sending an email to them and the email hard-bouncing or being otherwise undeliverable). You let a decent number of bad emails through but it's an improvement over nothing.
I think it will be shortly after independence day. Bad for nation building to have a correction right before the holiday.
An AR, location based version of this would be pretty epic.
> What other topics do y'all think HN provides unique insight on?

Career managment I think (not sure if it's the good term for it). I see lots of people in their 40's or more that quit some FANG job for another job that earns less but is more aligned with how they want to live their life. I see lots of people advocating to quit jobs as soon as you see red flags. I think both of these are good wisdom.

On the other hand, a point that's still a mystery to me is "programming language choice". I've learned useful heuristics like you can do web backend in pretty much anything, if you have no libraries for something that needs them like an AWS SDK you're going to suffer, what helps in the long run slows you down at first, but that's about it. I don't know if it's because I'm too young in this field, because I don't understand/missed something, or because there is no big truth to find.
so your product is not 100% open source as you claim?

how is that not misleading?

if YOUR license is not open source, you need to remove this claim from your website.

And whether it's 12 or 15, it's clearly plenty enough to bring things to a halt. If it shuts down major operations, it really doesn't matter whether it's 1 or 100, except possibly for the ETA on a resolution.

Totally agree. I'm a programmer, so I do need to know those, and as an embedded developer, even more. The average person not so much. I thought that's what this particular thread was all about.
It thinks the email address I've used for more than 25 years is invalid. Great job.

> How many frustrated autobahn drivers will oppose CO2 reduction efforts elsewhere?

I am not sure how to put this nicely. Autobahn drivers that currently drive at the maximum speed are already quite likely already frustrated. They probably would like to fly a plane and they are constantly hindered by other cars on the road.

In other words, they are the kind of egoists that are unlikely to support any form of CO2 reduction already.
My first computer was a 286 (desktop) back in 1989, with 1MB of RAM and a 40MB hard drive. And an NEC VGA monitor, which cost quite a lot back then. It was originally the family computer, but eventually became a hand-me-down when my parents upgraded. I managed to get Windows 3.1 running on it, and it actually wasn't so slow. The first computer I ran Linux on was a 486.
I had totally forgot about Kermit.

Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef | Cairns, Australia (REMOTE if you are organised / ONSITE if you are in Aus, worth it if you dive) | citizensgbr.org

We're a 21st century conservation organisation for the Great Barrier Reef. Or at least that's the idea. We're involved in a broad range of activities[1], but the big picture is a global conversation about climate change.

Our current go-to is a research effort called the Great Reef Census[2], currently in its second year. The project incorporates a whole range of (relatively lo-fi / glue-together yet novel) tech solutions, from remote / vessel-deployed offline servers, spatially aware data submission portals, 3d planning tools[3] (we like mapping), plus an ML/CV angle being developed from last year's data. It's an open project, so all data is being released under CC, similarly code open sourced (as soon as time permits). Everything we can build in house we do. We need an extra pair of hands for delivery of the project this year.

Our stack is primarily vue / node (db is firestore, cloud gcp / cloudflare) so best case would be someone with a solid web pedigree. At the same time we do a lot of data-wrangling, and our edge servers could do with some devops love and automation (ubuntu / netplan (captive wifi w public dns + 4g) / haproxy / more). We also need to prepare the project for open sourcing, to drive further tech engagement and resource. If your skills lend themselves to any of this, it would free up hands.

We are busy and under resourced and find it difficult to recruit / compete in the current landscape. That said, we're willing to accommodate any measures that would make it work for the right person. Tech is currently a one-person show. The role would likely suit a senior type with some days spare and a passion for the environment. It is a paid position. If you're local (or want to relocate to Cairns) we also do a lot of diving and there's the opportunity to certify & spend some solid time on the reef as part of the project.

Role: Casual over 3-6mths+ (what can you do, how long will it take) / flexible schedule to suit budget (we value skill set over availability) / no juniors, interns at this stage unfortunately.

Each WP page has (or can easily have) an 'external links' section on the bottom (that's easy to edit, see any example) with fairly lax rulage. So long as the vid is suited to the article, objections are unlikely.
Although many will criticise the level of perfection of this service, it could definitely be useful to many others. What is more, it is laudable that it's open source, and I guess that will lead to lots of community-driven improvements over time.

“The Wound Talks to You”: The Nightmares of John Berryman
I might have picked this up from crystal-nonsense contexts, but certain traditions associate numbers with everything, or if not numbers, then the chakras or organs of the body.

Performing mudras as part of meditation can be a kind of physical mnemonic device, to help focus on whatever concept the mudra is meant to represent.

You could think of praying with hands together as a kind of mudra - posing your hands to access a certain state of mind.

I couldn't say how much overlap there is between chinese qigong and classical indian dance, but probably not none.

Here, let me simplify that code:

def has_user_been_pwned(email):
return True

There. It's nearly impossible to be on the Internet at all without having some account or another be involved in an exploit at some point. You could rename the endpoint `user_had_a_facebook_or_twitter_or_linked_account_or_has_a_credit_score()`. This is a worthless thing to query because it tells you absolutely nothing about the owner of the address.
So that could be one of the upgrades for the fictional Ares III mission the book is about.

> The pension 8% doesn't apply to any of them.

If this scheme solves 90% of problem it it still better than nothing.

If in 30 years UK will be in deep recession because of economic downturn and aging population, it is better if 10% of old people people will be in deep poverty than if 80% old people in deep poverty. (Also, 90% of old people getting at least some private pension income would also help the economy to recover.)

8% contribution would give you about 20% of your average income if you are low earner, so you can't afford a lavish lifestyle on your 8% pension contributions. So this 8% contributions is rather a safety net than a proper retirement planning. And that's why I think it need to be gradually increased.
Glad to know they were looking out for their shareholders. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll be able to take comfort in this.
I had the Delaware registration / California operating setup. The wind down is just as many steps. Cancelling sales / use tax registrations, the SoS registration, making your FTB tax is all paid and then cancelled in both states. Making sure both state and federal returns are marked final and don't close your bank account until you've paid them all.
The graph defines what it charts very well at the bottom. You can read it, and then if I am somehow still very wrong about the fact that income in the bottom 50% has gone down, or hasn't kept up if you'd prefer, then you can really stick it to me on this public forum about how I am wrong, and you are right, the only thing that matters on the internet.

That religious outlook seems to be "suffer more and be happy less", my answer to that is no.
Once again, not a lawyer, but... A crack or a keygen is in fact not illegal under traditional copyright law. That is illegal under the DMCA, at least in the U.S., as a tool meant to circumvent access control.

Ignoring whether the keygen/crack itself is illegal, redistributing it with a trial version could be. Aside copyright licenses, there’s sometimes clickwrap licenses that disallow you from redistributing the trial at all. On the other hand, I believe it is unclear if a copyright license itself (as opposed to a clickwrap agreement) can actually disallow distribution based on other things it is aggregated with. This isn’t a terribly big issue for AGPL and GPL because they explicitly limit their terms to not apply:

> A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

Out of curiosity I plugged Lytton’s weather readings into the Mccarthur tables we use to calculate forest fire danger in Australia.

I’m using guesstimates for humidity and wind speed based on the spotty data available from the local government website. Also just totally fudging the fuel load number.

I’m reading spotting distances between 1.5 and 2km.

Overall FFDI of 41 so a bad day but not extreme by our standards. Would have been a lot worse with lower humidity.
> the argument that it's just "a few bad apples" seems like deflection to me

That "defense" never really uses the full saying, does it? "A few bad apples spoil the barrel" is the full phrase. Without removing the few bad apples, what happens to the remaining apples in the barrel?

That's why we need to bring these "few bad apples" to the forefront. If they're left alone, or treated as part of the group, they'll either spoil the rest of the department, or the entire department will take the heat for just a few of their coworkers abusing their power.

Holding all officers accountable for the actions of few seems in poor form to me, though I have no data to back this up. To me though, it feels like we'll end up polarizing the LEOs that just want to do good work, much like how "Not all men" began.
If you want to know the "how?" as I did - code is here, specifically https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/blob/mast...

tl;dr, According to RFC 5321, `RCPT TO` command succeeds with 250 and 251. So email is valid if you get to this part of the protocol and receive the response.

He's been in the games industry for some years now, and as a side-project he teaches kids how to code — I'm pretty certain that he builds such crazy projects mostly as a fun hobby, perhaps also partly as a showcase for his teaching.

IMO, for these kinds of projects, I suspect Scratch doesn't offer many advantages (if any at all). He likes a challenge :)

— More details, including an interview, can be found here:

He's pretty responsive to comments on his Scratch homepage — and can also be found under the same name on Twitter/FB/etc. He's always been happy to help others. Give him a shout if you have any specific questions.

(FWIW: I worked with him — Cliff — for a short while, back in the 90s)
Ladder logic is powerful stuff. I learned it at Westinghouse in the 1980s. It's a non-Von Neuman based programming methodology well suited to real time environments. Every ladder gets executed once per cycle, and there are usually a few hundred cycles per second.

Special functions are implemented in boxes, like delays, counters, etc.

My task back then was to feed the entire I/O state into a ring buffer, and when a "crash" of the steel mill happened, a host PC could then download the entire buffer, giving access to information about what happened in the seconds BEFORE the crash.

It would be fairly easy to port to the Arduino, if someone hasn't done it already. Yep - it's been done https://cq.cx/ladder.pl

Because Ladders are text based, you could use Teco/EDT/Vi/Emacs/WordStar macros on them.

That isn't an opt out on data collection, is it? Like, the data freeze only stops people from accessing the data, but doesn't stop Equifax from adding data newly received from employers to the file? And then any data breach they have includes that new data.

What's more, any time you remove the freeze to allow someone to verify the data, you have to remember to put it back again if you want it to remain otherwise private, instead of lifting it temporarily for hours or a day or one inquiry or one verifier.
