There isn't much breaking usually, I really don't remember big issues in my 15+ years self-hosting time. I have changed colocation place several times, some places have been offices with average office internet (without redundant links or BGP peering).

I can see issues, if you over-engineer and try build some microservice farm in some cloud provider, but simple physical server with DC grade disks in RAID and backup (tested and out of server) is pretty reliable.

Of course, when you really don't want to do it, then paying for someone else is reasonable, no issue with that. But its not fair to make mail self-hosting look like something very complicated and dangerous, I would say that modern web service stacks are more complicated and fragile. Lots of guys here are writing own internet facing software, handling customer data. Compared to that, using pre-existing mail server software isn't that hard.
I am not the author of the comment, but I am 19 and only communication that I am doing through mail is related with support/feedback/employment. Also after I got a job as intern webdev (I don't even like it), we've been communicating via Slack. Also I saw that friends of mine have Discord/MS Teams/Telegram(!) as main communication service in companies.
So, I am also getting a few mails per day, and most of them are invoices, notifications that I don't need to see immediately, newsletters, etc.
It should not be ignored that “growing pains” means ~10 million dead from state-caused famines and imprisoned for thought crimes.

The cutoff I've seen for the 1% is $11M net worth. Is everyone poorer than that, "suffering"? What kind of world do you live in?
Designers seem to be collectively forgetting two simple things:

1. The UI is a tool, not an art piece. It's something people use to get their job done. They don't admire its beauty and "cleanliness". Every time you move things around to "make it more aesthetically pleasing" or "refresh it", you're messing with people's muscle memory. People hate when their muscle memory is messed with.

2. The UI should be designed to make most of the input devices with which it will be used most of the time. This means huge paddings, large fonts, and borderless buttons have no place in a desktop OS.

Apple's initial idea about iOS being for touchscreens only, and macOS being for mice and keyboards only, was great. Now they're diluting macOS by allowing iOS apps to run on it, and by borrowing iOS UI patterns that were clearly designed for touchscreens.

Except I couldn't care less about Safari. There are better browsers out there anyway. And all the stuff that requires Apple servers is also irrelevant to me.
Journalists generally believe that readers will sooner relate to stories than to statistics. I am afraid that that is correct for large groups of readers.

> Why would I be reading cherry picked stories instead of studies if the vaccine was easily shown to be effective?

Infection rates drop rapidly in countries where a large part of the population is vaccinated. If you want to read studies you should consider other media.
From the conclusion, "Writing social software is hard. And, as I said, the act of writing social software is more like the work of an economist or a political scientist. And the act of hosting social software... is more like a relationship of landlords to tenants than owners to boxes in a warehouse.

The people using your software, even if you own it and pay for it, have rights and will behave as if they have rights. And if you abrogate those rights, you'll hear about it very quickly."

You're new here, so I will gently point out that this isn't Reddit and it certainly isn't Slashdot. Asking everyone for proof of everything or implying that they are shilling is boring and unconstructive.

I've been on HN for more than a decade. You can check my comment history to see that I contribute sensibly. I have no reason to make anything about this up, but I'm obviously not going to doxx myself by providing the kind of proof that would be convincing. You're free to take me at my word or to disbelieve me, but if you aren't interested in substantial discussion in good faith, please consider simply ignoring a comment and moving on to something that interests you more.
It’s equally comical to many non-foreign tech workers. Problem is that if you criticize it openly, there will be repercussions to your career. Corporations will take action against you due to the fear of activist employees and the news media which has been largely infiltrated/influenced by woke/post-modern critical theory activists.
This comment reads like dialogue from a character in a Philip K. Dick novel.
The technology doesn't scale yet to consumer hardware. It's limited to web-accessed mainframes (like AI Dungeon) and researchers with racks of latest graphics accelerators.
Side note but what is going on with this projects commits?
There is no distinction of art with a capital A versus with a little a.

I agree that there will be challenges to broad respect of this creation process and result, but I can see communities gathering around specific personalities no matter what they create.

Similarly, the public will likely be moved by stories, perhaps even some artists will create new poetry specifically for to generating an image where the poetry itself moves the audience too.

But the distinctions you have created are not a relevant way of articulating this path.
Spare parts are expensive because they’re priced to willingness to pay which is usually “if it’s significantly less to repair than replace, repair”. $100 part + $200 labor is cheaper than a new $500 machine. Repair let’s tend to have much much higher margin for manufacturers than the original machine.
Whenever I'm expecting YouTube emails (pass reset or whatever) I check gmail's spam first haha. At least they don't play favourites I guess.
You cringe, as you should.

But when you say empty-headed things like, “Stories like this have me worried the vaccines aren't as effective as I once believe”, now I cringe.

It’s a clickbait science website pandering to people who like anecdotes.

It should have zero bearing on your opinions of vaccine efficacy.

I understand. Your opinions probably didn’t change and you were shooting for a dramatic effect.

You just don’t like being manipulated with anecdotes, so you’ll respond in kind by manipulating people by playing the role of the person who is inversely influenced by anecdotes.

So which is it? Are you an empty-headed ninny who’s aware of anecdotes but is still inversely influenced by them?Or just another manipulative person playing a role?

BTW - I down voted the story.
Issues I've had is after x years or some leak a ton of mail start pouring in.
Kinda' sad that there is mostly discussion about what to call people or how they might feel singled out if we acknowledge their cultural differences and mixed backgrounds.

I'm mixed mixed ethnicity and it's definitely easier to just pretend everyone is treating me fairly and we're all the same. I was pretty much raised to do that.

Unfortunately, that has badly impacted me over my lifetime. It lets people single me out and pretend it's not a racist prerogative. It often is, but people don't even want to admit that to themselves. They hold other ethnicity to higher standards to "fit in" or "be a cultural fit". Meanwhile, some rude, abrasiveness, ignorant guy who looks like them gets a pass.
Strong units also reveal surprising relationships, such as matter is energy (E=mc^2), or energy consumption is fuel area (an XKCD I can’t find).

- HTTP: REST/HATEOAS, headers, transport layer caching, rate limiting, load balancing

- Authentication: OAuth2 is probably the most widely used

- Authorization: RBAC

- Some rudimentary statistics: know how to read metrics, write metrics, etc

- Learn one RDBMS inside and out. Other database systems have their place but you’ll almost always encounter a Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL. Learn how to read EXPLAIN output, cursor based pagination, and indices.
It would certainly alleviate the license concerns. If it was possible to train it to a level (that produces effective output), then sure.

As a thought experiment, I thought "what would happen if we trained it on our 15 million lines of product code + my language-ext project". It would almost certainly produce something that looks like 'us'.

But:

* It would also trip over a million or so lines of generated code

* And the legacy OO code

* It will 'see' some of the extreme optimisations I've had to built into language-ext to make it performant. Something like the internals of the CHAMP hash-map data-structure [1]. That code is hideously ugly, but it's done for a good reason. I wouldn't want to see optimised code parroted out upfront. Maybe it wouldn't pick up on it, because it hasn't got a consistent shape like the majority of the code? Who knows.

Still, I'd be more willing to allow my team to use it if I could train it myself.

Well, with the internet putting pressure on the msm propaganda model described in Manufacturing Consent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent, this is really an improvement. Now we know what speech scares the bully.
Only works with RTX which is cruel because Etherium miners and scalpers took them all.

It’s an interesting example though because it bridges the human viewpoint of an image having part-whole relationships and convolutional nets modeling textures.

Feedly and Unread (iOS app) are my poison of choice. Lovely interface on top of a reliable service.

Unread also does an instapaper-like parse of the article if you subscribe to a feed that does that daft excerpt only thing :)
That depends on the materials. Installing a $600 light fixture is the same labor as a $40 one. Thus a spec home the material cost tends to be a lot less a % of the total costs compared to a custom house. Though some custom changes require more labor, the effort difference between most is 0, and in a few cases slightly negative (if the material cost wasn't higher all spec homes would get these features)

> The technical preview includes filters to block offensive words

And somehow their filters missed f*k? That doesn’t give a lot of confidence in their ability filter more nuanced text. Or maybe it only filters truly terrible offensive words like “master”.
Show HN: Napkin – Build back-end functions in the browser
I have found that the most important bit as a backend engineer is modelling the application domain precisely.
A taste for making good APIs helps and knowing how to measure performance.

These days most backend engineers also tend to manage data sources so understanding them is also a plus
Relatively new macOS user here.

> scroll bars have been removed

Awesome! Less clutter. I only care about my position in a list or its length when I actually scroll.

> Ok/Cancel style dialog boxes are vertically stacked

Looks sightly weird, but it enlarges click targets and makes a crucial dialog easier to see and use. I guess that makes sense.

> more vertical space wasted for window chrome

I generally like the new style, but yeah, they went over board here 1/3 or 1/4 less height would be about optimal.

> Natural Scrolling

Why would you move your finger against the direction in which you're scrolling?

I do have it disabled on my mouse, so I can more easily flick it to navigate down pages.
I don't think Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson is a "key witness" in the claims against Assange. He might be A witness, but I very much doubt the charges rely on his testimony. As far as the media goes, most people don't care about Assange as much as the conspiracy crowd. And some of the comments here are verging on very conspiratorial.
Not quite. AfD is pro-nuclear, CDU/CSU is opportunistically pro/con, FDP the same (i guess). Only the left is firmly opposed. The thing is that the anti-nuclear public sentiment is strong enough that any pro-nuclear movement or politics is doomed to fail. Any pro-nuclear move is political suicide.
They eventually moved to a capitalist economic system with totalitarian tendencies, no different than the mafia if the mafia were technocrats.
Don’t hide the async nature of external requests. It seems like a magically good idea until it all falls apart. Timeouts and error propagation needs to flow from the request ingress all the way to the backend services.
Then you’re teaching them to communicate as if they have empathy without actually using empathy — which seems the precisely wrong lesson to learn.
Stuff like Copilot makes programming worse and more difficult, not better and easier.

Copilot makes programming worse and more difficult if you're aiming for a specific set of coding values and style that Copilot doesn't generate (yet?). If Copilot generates the sort of code that you would write, and it does for a lot of people, then it's definitely no worse (or better) than copying something from SO.

The author of a declarative, functional C# framework likely has very different ideas to what code should be than some PHP developer just trying to do their day-to-day job. We shouldn't abandon tools like Copilot just because they don't work out at the more rigorous ends of the development spectrum.
Treating a Deadly Lung Disease with a Little Help from Amoebas
Great to hear someone with real world experience on this!
Do you happen to have data to compare against? Most interesting of course would be orders from your PPP adjusted countries before and after the introduction of your honor system. This would help to see if there really is a reduction in revenue for theses countries since the alternative is no revenue due to overpriced products.

> "Mexico's code is the most used, followed by India, then Europe. Mexico and India offer the steepest discount, though Europe's is not particularly steep, so I don't think anyone is gaming the system."

That is good to hear. Even more so since in your case gaming the system would be even easier than switching app stores etc. (AND your audience is tech savvy)
iOS has been a fully controlled walled garden since day one though, while Android was supposed to be the "free" open source alternative.
It is decidedly not "just a search engine with more parameters." Language models are just prone to repeating training examples verbatim when they have a strong signal with the prompt. Arguably, in this case, it is the most correct continuation.
But if the huge population of 'primitives' does not die out massively from disease, soon they are adopting the techniques and material of the 'advanced', no? Even if they can't readily adapt to mining, metalworking and smithing, they sure can steal and plunder weapons and horses and gradually become more and more competitive

Not to mention that guerilla warfare is effective like few other things
This should probably have its title edited to include the prefix Show HN, since it's posted by the main author. But, neat!
First, I'd rename the column to something like "record_created_at" to empahsize its the recording of the record and not the actual creation date.

Second, if I was going to do a default version, I would probably use two fields, the above record_created_at and an additional "created_at" field. By default they would be the same, however the understanding would be that created_at is potentially available to the user, settable by import, and record_created_at should be treated as immutable.
You may be right about the origin of "the right side of history", but the phrase has become popular enough that you can't use it to pin down the speaker's ideology. I think most people use it to mean that their ideas will be commonly accepted in the future. Whether their perceived future is a communist utopia or a libertarian thunderdome is irrelevant.
Super advanced 3D printing...

The really startling thing is ... considering how effective this technique is with the internet it must have been nearly flawless prior to about 2015 when most of the world didn't have access to the internet.

What we're seeing isn't so much an elite group controlling the narrative as an elite group who used to be able to control the narrative and now can't patch over the rough spots.
>Yeah to everyone who says “communism is fundamentally flawed” I just point to China.

As your proof it's flawed, right? Right?
It's more that the model is so large it is capable of memorizing a lot. This can be seen in other language models like GPT-3 as well.

Comments, I suspect, will be more likely to be memorized since the model would be trained to make syntactically correct outputs, and a comment will always be syntactically correct. That would mean there is nothing to 'punish' bad comments.
I do the same thing with Feedbin. It's delightful.

Newsletters use email because it's much more likely to stay operational for longer into the future than any other random web service.

It's a source of power.

If they don't have your email, then they can't contact you in the future if the platform decides to kick them out.
By this logic, the USA (a much younger country) is also simply experiencing growing pains, nullifying your point.
Why would excluding GPL'd code be enough to not violate licenses? I don't understand why people think MIT or other licenses are free for alls to take code as they wish. The MIT license includes an attribution clause. And, as the linked video shows, Copilot is more than happy to take its code and put your pet license and copyright notice on instead. Isn't that equally as infringing as stealing GPL code? The idea of mining GitHub for training data was doomed from the start copyright-wise, as there's so much code that's misattributed, wrongly-licensed, or unlicensed.
So you think that Marxists are now promoting race war, not class war, and this is somehow a "leftist" idea?

Seems more that the US deliberately focussed on creating these divisions to destroy working-class movements with COINTELPRO.

That's also why it only exists in the US.
Finally! Yes! More! More!!!

We need to experiment every day with nuclear power. We need to try new things. We need to learn. We need to make mistakes and learn from them. We need to conquer this paralyzing fear. We need to not be afraid of the possible bad consequences because the upside is infinitely better and more important.

We need to continue to improve and evolve our technology. It's our only hope.
Does it have to be batches?

Can't it be like the reverse of a rocket engine where they use regenerative cooling from the fuel to cool the rocket nozzle, but just in reverse.

Or like they way my grandpa was doing moonshine -- the alcohol vapors pass through a serpentine in a water tank, condense, at the end you obtain alcohol, the water in the tank gets warmer -- instead, heat water coming from the water cooling tank that is preheated by the vapors of water that is condensing in the serpentine pipe.
Are most transactional or newsletter services hosted with MS or Google? I honestly doubt that, if anything I guess Amazon is the dominant force here. Also Google does not exactly have a bad record with Gmail.

However no, most privacy relevant emails I get are either directly sent from a Webservice, company own SMTPS or other privacy aware email providers.

Sure some friends hit me up with their Gmails, but I usually do not consider these mails privacy relevant.
No, the CC company actually has line-item information for almost all purchases (fall-back transaction processing and really old terminals are likely excluded).

Theoretically you can get your hands on that information.
Is there a community that's keeping the FOSS nature of Android? I'm not talking about fdroid, they are great.

I'm asking about a community/fourm that is discussing how Android can be separate from Google in the distopian future. Anyone know of a website where this is discussed?
> Not being able to edit huge portions of the file system, even as root.

The important part is that system integrity protection can be disabled.
Some specific cultures with Asian heritage in the West. Not intentionally trying to be obtuse, but to support that talking point it is important to recognize that there are other Asian people in the West that are underserved by this overly broad racially prejudiced assumption.

There have always been cultures that adapt to certain states of the world. For example, German efficiency was there and irrelevant before the industrial era, and when the world valued efficiency their culture was the beneficiary. In reference to some cultures from Asia operating in the West, they are also benefactors of the family support systems that they are able to maintain, even if there are psychological issues with that model, it is accurate that many are able to achieve social standing in Western society. You are hoping for that to prove the wrong thing, or disprove the validity of other group's experiences as if they are not worth further analysis and support. This doesn't help y/our society.
It seems like a very sensible answer from copilot since the prompt includes "Q_" which makes it obvious that the programmer is specifically looking for the Quake version of this function.

To me it doesn't show that copilot will regurgitate existing code when I don't want it to, just that if I ask it to copy some famous existing code for me it will oblige.
On some black employees' perceptions.

This is hard for people new to working and living alongside minorities in America, but these are individuals and not a monolithic group. Identity politics is dangerous because the loudest mouths on the issue are definitely not representative of any whole group. And yet culturally we're demanded to see things their way to an increasing and alarming degree.
