a comment here some time ago explained nicely what most of these "unique" advantages of homoicinicity are actually about; it was essentially another step on the same spectrum of statement-languages and expression-languages.

in particular this does not mean that it is better but the same advantages of being able to put anything into anything that you find in expression languages like rust in lispy languages are also syntactically in editing source code.

since I started using shrink/grow selection in vscode I have much increased interest for simple syntax aware editing, something simple would be moving blocks of code token by token

I think I started noticing circa ~2003 (and possibly as far back as ~1999) how cleaners at larger shopping centers (like Westfields) in Sydney would prove they've visited a specific area by tapping a little box they carry with them against iButtons discretely squirreled away in random corners. You generally have to know where to look to find them; the easiest way would probably be to get into the habit of hawkeyeing every cleaner you see, particularly if they're walking somewhere - but I noticed (back when I was actively hunting for the things) they tended to pop up around entries/exits for some reason (including major entrances and carpark exits).

The epoxy jobs I often see anchoring iButtons to walls visibly aren't at the level of detail/engineering required to run invisible wiring (eg through concrete) etc, so I theorize that the iButtons themselves are completely passive (eg, they contain a resistor, or maybe a microcontroller), and the box is a transponder (unlikely) or that it records to internal storage and then gets dropped onto a sync cradle (more likely).

The gadgets the cleaners use are very literally about as featureful as a cigarette packet: a dark grey rectangle with an iButton connector on the back and a small LCD. I've not really ever had the impetus to go pin a cleaner down and politely ask for more details :D

Life almost by definition is not the lowest energy state matter can exist at. Thus living proteins may need some extra energy care and maintenance to maintain their functional form. Without this active input, they may relax into a form that from one perspective is "mis-folded" but from another perspective is just the natural lower energy state the collection of atoms is expected to be found in if nothing is maintaining it. So maybe instead of "stop misfolding" it is provide adequate maintenance infrastructure and budget.

But the maintenance workers (mitochondria) have a much more active life than the sedentary (brain) cells they inhabit and have suffered through many cell divisions each with their accumulation of errors till at some point just like all us worker drones, have no fscks left to give.

I appreciate feature parity with iOS at least, it felt like macOS was being left behind for years. A lot of the stuff added from Mountain Lion to Yosemite was rotting away.

The App Store, for instance, felt like terrible abandonware for years. Same with Messages. On Big Sur I can pretty much do everything I used my phone for now, which is what I personally wanted.
Is 3d printing a 1mm wide cube really something you need "one of the most advanced" 3d printers for? Can't we get better resolution than that with hobby grade hardware?
I'm sorry if I missed it, but do you do catchall email service for custom domains? My current email provider (https://mailbox.org) limits email aliases per price plan, the most basic that I currently use allows for 3 + a free root@ and webmaster@. I'd probably be convinced to go through the hassle and switch providers if your service provides an improvement over this limit.
Since moles count the number of atoms, perhaps they can only be used for natural numbers? Whereas you could legitimately say that something was -1.7 unos.
I think SpamAssassin (plus curated greylisting) does a decent job most of the time, although I'm starting to see weird issues with spurious DNSWL tests that pass through pretty spammy mail.

In the long run I'm probably going to replace the Bayesian part of SpamAssassin with something custom, simply because operationally it's painful and I think neural nets are closer to state of the art.
The pipes described here do not leak water: the holes are so tiny that the surface tension does not let water spill out. They let air molecules reach the water though.

In the abstract they mention how this could be useful in cooling systems and such (iow, you are unlikely to use this for drinking water).
I somewhat lol'd when the demo allowed "user@gnail.com" just fine. Guess kickstarter isn't using mailcheck anymore. Looks like it's an open issue:

There is runtime unification but the user interfaces are still well separated based on the target device and screen size. I suspect the end game is one app package that runs on phone, tablet and desktop with specialist UI for each platform.

So far they are doing extremely well. I can hop between all devices mostly transparently. And the desktop has not been dumbed down; all interfaces have been improved on their target devices. I have got to the point my iPad is my go to machine now.
On a related note, I see that getting the secret is a GET request. However, since that request also deletes the secret I think it would be best if it was a POST request. This would probably also automatically fix any issue of a link preview triggering the secret deletion because I think they are designed to not execute POST requests generally speaking (but I could be wrong here).

There are billions of people who are adept at using cell phones but have never owned a personal computer. Some of them can afford Apple products, but may not have thought they needed or wanted a different form factor before this year. Apple is betting that they will want a device that can act as a seamless extension of the computer they already have (their cell phone). Apple is doing this by gradually purging all things that aren't first-class on mobile, be they user interface affordances or the x86 instruction set.
At this point? If he got canceled, he probably has the name recognition to start his own thing and 2~5 years later be at the same audience numbers.

This was a fascinating read. And this information about Indian dance gestures should not be seen separately from ancient Indian languages like Sanskrit.

If you are wondering how a gesture can mean multiple things, then I must tell you it all depends on the context. And truly master dancers and composers know how to tell two or more stories with one dance!

I regularly read something called "Vaishnava Padavali" which are ancient Bengali poems about Krishna and Chaitanya, but at the same time they convey very deeper meanings.

And it is not like metaphors in other languages, where one meaning is "hidden", the second (or third) meaning hides in plain sight.

If you interpret the meaning of a word in one way, you get one meaning, and if you do it another way, you get another. And you can string together multiple storylines and messages from one piece of text.

Let me give you an example- "Varshaa" in Sanskrit means monsoon. And "Varsho" means a year- it means the amount of time in which there is one monsoon. And again, "Varsho" are also mountains where clouds collapse to and brings monsoon. So, depending on the context (or multiple), "Varsho" could either mean a mountain or a year.

A man took it up a notch- Sandhyakar Nandi, who wrote a whole epic, which is a retelling of the Epic Ramayana on one interpretation, but is the life of Pala Emperor Ramapal on other.

In the same way, dance gestures can mean multiple things based on your interpretation. And different interpretations run parallely, together.

Sanskrit is a language with metaphors built-in in the language.

The entry barrier is extremely high, but Sanskrit poems, plays, and epics are one of the most profoundly intellectually stimulating pieces of text in the world.
Same here - I HAD to move over to Fastmail because like GP I'd respond to email enquiries from GMail addresses and then never hear back. After weeks of this, someone finally phoned up to complain about my poor customer service. This despite also having an old and apparently well set-up domain.

I lost a lot of business back then. Thanks, Google.
Yeah, that works for me as well.
In general yes I do contribute to open source, although there's not too much to contribute back to open source _yet_, so the main contribution has just filing Roundcube bugs. (The main mailserver code has diverged too much from Apache James to really be useful.)

Some of the libraries I wrote are open sourced and on my Github account, e.g. the web framework: https://github.com/ScottPeterJohnson/shade
It does show a bit of a lack of imagination that the engineers and product team at Amazon didn't realise the impact of using a human name for something you issue commands to. If it had to be a human name for whatever reason it would have at least made sense to choose one that's very unusual to minimize the effect.

On the other hand, Amazon Alexa is 8 years old, so if you have a 6 year old child called Alexa some of the responsibility has to be on the parents..

I'm not sure price is the parameter to compete on for email services, at least for me. Email is extremely important to most businesses, and if I'm already paying for a domain, and running a business, even the $70 for a Workspace solution is a drop in the bucket. What I need, however, is deliverability, strong privacy and security, good spam filtering, and support when I need it.

I'd encourage you to try doubling or tripling the price so you can afford to hire more people and grow the business :) I suspect the rate of signups will stay the same.
Fastmail isn't entirely faceless either :p But we're definitely not still the 3-man show that we were before the Opera years (up until 2010).

Obviously, I think Fastmail is worth the extra for the multi-copy redundancy & backups, new features, contributions we're making to the standards world, and not being dependent on a single person - the past few years in particular we've been focusing on not only being able to survive any server dying, but also being able to survive the unavailability of any single person!

Anyway - glad you're happy. Fastmail will still be here if you ever find that you want to move back.
We do have CardDAV support, and hope to develop CalDAV soon :)

"It is not my world. Despite being called a 'keeper' I have no control here. I am an observer, capable perhaps of small assistance for the needs I see, or of compensating for the limitations of the manmade boundaries that I put them into. I don’t understand half of what is going on; I am often reminded of that. I can discover a problem only to find the bees are already halfway to fixing it themselves."

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing
Apologies, I didn't mean to say you were fetishizing, just that there's a lot of Scandinavia fetishizing on HN (and everywhere else for that matter) in general, haha
The default wake word for these kinds of devices should just be 'computer'. It works fine for Star Trek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CDhEwhOm44

That response is AMAZING. A boring dystopia indeed.

That said, I understand Amazon’s position. Seems a bit too-little-too-late. Interesting that we’ll be seeing an name go extinct due to a relatively minor “feature” of a technology.

Try using that to explain arithmetic to a child.

In a base-10 system the explanation is as simple as holding up both hands and then holding up the number of fingers for each hand you want them to add. The kid can count and intuitively learn how to add up two numbers. It’s really simple and really efficient.
The only part I don't like so far are Catalyst apps, these are apps that have been ported from the iPad. Music is a bit of a dog on the Mac and TV isn't great either.

Hopefully Catalyst will disappear once SwiftUI matures.

The article dose say:

The good news is, for all the recent fears among Mac users that Apple might be attempting to collapse Mac, iPhone, and iPad into a single amorphous product, macOS Monterey still feels unreservedly like a Mac.
That's probably true once once hits the workforce, but I'm pretty sure I gamed 40+ hours/week back in school. That starcraft ladder doesn't climb itself...
> so if you have a 6 year old child called Alexa some of the responsibility has to be on the parents

Yes you can have unlimited domains/aliases with catchalls and RFC 5233 subaddressing.
Yes, we have catchalls. We don't restrict how you route anything under your domain, and you can send from any email address you own.

So, this is going back from SPA ("ship the code to display and interest with data once, and ship only data multiple times") to server side rendering ("ship both the data and the code") ; except that, instead of sending html and JavaScript, they invented an abstraction over layout and interaction.

That makes sense if:

- you have many clients

- that change very often

- but with a kind of change that is fairly consistent

- and you have the engineering horsepower to maintain your own in-house abstraction layer

I wonder if someone suggested jumping the shark altogether, and shipping the whole app as a single s-exp, and make you client a lisp interpreter with a custom logo... (But maybe app stores thrown on that ?)

HCaptcha is not without problems, it is monetized by selling ML model training to 3rd parties, where the images and the labelling requests come from. Personally, I do not wish to be employed to train ML models of 3rd parties unknown to me. I have no idea about what model I'm helping train and what it is going to be used for. Transparency in this regard would go a long way towards making HCaptcha friendlier (I'm not going to talk about the ethics of free labor this time, though those too ought to be discussed.)
Right. Is there anything more insufferable than the sanctimonious prose of the NYT?
Question is, what alternatives do you plan to use that are better for you? Many of the same sorts of interface and "unification" changes seem to be coming to Windows, and Linux is sort of in another world as far as usability goes. Great for some people, but if you don't already prefer it, are the changes to MacOS bad enough to accept the similarly-changing Windows or the many caveats Linux desktop?
As the story mentions, these retailers aren't innocent bystanders -- they're responsible for accelerating the decline of other local retailers. In particular, they have a significant negative effect on local supermarkets, even though they usually don't carry fresh food.

OP has bluetooth problems. I had many other problems and after some googling I've found that all of them were well known and were not fixed. You can digg in my comments for more details. One of them : My machine just didn't even boot after update ... It didn't boot without 'another' mac. What genius decided that to revive my machine I should have another machine? But even during this process it barely worked after ~10 tries because ... well bugs even there. With all my huge experience I couldn't figure out the scenario that was working for sure ... just pure luck. This is horrible experience I think.

For me there is no sense anymore to discuss each and every problem specifically when I sense tendency. I wouldn't make noise about few unfixed bugs but it's scary to see the tendency toward poor quality when your workflow and your sw project depends on MacOS.

How I suppose to make perfect file manager if underlying OS is not functioning properly?
I did for a long time, but I installed it 3 months ago and it’s been fine. The problem with contingent bugs that only occur in rare circumstances is most people will never see them at all, but the few people that regularly do that thin will encounter the bug all the time, so individual anecdotes can be misleading.

Does anyone know what footprint does Pinterest have in the "social" sphere (considering the title calls it a "major social network")?

I always thought it was just a scam to get people into their walled garden by overtaking every conceivable Google image search (to the point that "-site:pinterest.com" is my default when looking for images). I just can't imagine who are the actual users and what they get out of it?
I don't know much about the exact tools needed for 3DXPoint, but the value of semiconductor manufacturing capacity generally in the U.S. has dramatically increased in the past year. This is now seen as a strategic resource and the government is willing to subsidize it. The value of 3DXPoint production though is not really strategic to the U.S. since hardly anything uses it that couldn't also use regular flash memory.

If a fab can show that they have the ability to at least partially fill the role of a TSMC in case of a disruption, there are large profits to be had. This may be the context and motivation for the sale.
In my job I would be warned if I listened to music whilst I am supposed to be working, and if I failed to heed the warnings I would eventually be dismissed. Why do police offers in the USA get given so much leeway when they are supposed to be the pinnacle of upstanding members of society?
If you’re sending to someone who actively subscribed and wants to hear from you it’s not “marketing”, it’s information. Basically a newsletter.

Otherwise it’s spam.

I can't even imagine that they 'didn't realize'. They did, obviously, but couldn't care less. Their marketing wanted a human name so that it sounded approachable, so that's what they did.
I think we just need new content ratings. We don’t show children 18+ content because they are emotionally and mentally unable to process it. A lot of the left seem unable to do the same for a lot of content.

I personally cannot emotionally handle seeing all this cancel culture stuff constantly so I block as much as I can on Twitter, YouTube, web, etc. And life is better this way.

I would prefer a single toggle to block all identity politics though cross platform.
Hey cool - glad to see James being used as well. Hopefully the JMAP support that Linagora have worked on will mean that you can bring JMAP eventually too.

I hope you don't find the pain of diverging from the mainline to be too great. We kind of cheated there with Fastmail and Cyrus IMAP by merging all our changes back to the mainline, since there wasn't much other development happening.
Exactly. I used to take my laptop and had to a meeting room just to be able to think.

What's the point in making me drive an hour just to sit in a meeting room, hiding from all the people who make noise all day?
It didn't require any predictive skills. Amazon Alexa was already very popular in 2016. It only required choosing a name that wasn't being used in a product at the time.

I wouldn't let excellent internal IT to do a massive, specialized, critical migration because of the finger-pointing risks and pressure to fire should there be an unforeseen, unmitigated problem. When something is as mission-critical as email, use a lifeline and phone a consultant who does this regularly.

IBM should use this crisis as an opportunity to fire horrible IT resources, e.g., managers and staff.
Custom Elements. Always bet on the web.

Most modern web application development is via top-down JavaScript frameworks that target the DOM. Developers learn derivative technologies that abstract over & treat the DOM like an end-target that they are free to orchestrate / control.

Custom Elements make it possible to have the page be entirely defined by tags, a growable/extensible set of tags. Instead of top-down systems of interaction, different components on the page can watch & adjust as their children change, or react to events that bubble/capture through them.

It's a long way off, but we can start to write into the page components that express the page's machinery. Right now, those systems are pure code, but we can reify their existence onto the page. Via Custom Elements, computing becomes expressible. You should learn custom elements. Few other experiences out there will give you as direct a connection to the base material & wide powers that are the world wide web.
