You have to put it in a library that's classified as "Other", and then it will show all video files it's capable of playing as regular media without necessarily requiring you to descend into the folder hierarchy view. I have several thousand home videos, YouTube downloads, and other "custom content" that's handled this way.
Assuming your pipeline or canal is gravity driven, that could be hard.

There's a different between "better at" and "anti-competitive"
You need to OAuth to Fastmail (the service) to hook it up, then as was mentioned above, you can go into the settings in your Fastmail account to choose which domain your Masked Email addresses are created in:

Settings -> Domains -> Team Settings -> Masked email domain

It will default to fastmail.com, but easy to change it.
Is it really that surprising that spending 25% of your life with 35% extra weight at the top of your head is going to affect your neck? I’m not convinced that a different strap is going to make a significant difference.
Well, as I understand it you'd have to do this manually. As in, pick a random alias for the site, use that as you email address there and enter the same one in 1password (or any other credential store).

The full "it just works" integration seems to only work between 1password and fastmail directly.

Ah, sorry. I guess it took some time for me to grasp that, and I am now subject to the curse of knowledge.

I maintain that for technical-minded people like me, knowing a bit of behind-the-scenes can help a lot with understanding (it did with git).

> How can spaces/rooms contain other rooms?

They don't per se. It's a list of rooms that's part of the room state. The room doesn't contain anything else than pointers to other rooms, like a linked list. And then other room-related stuff, like an avatar,name,memberlist,ban list, etc.

-------

For the technical explanation: what's a room in Matrix? The basic functionality is to store some data. There's three different kind of data: ephemeral (online/offline "presence" state, typing notifications...), persistent (part of the history: join, leave, message, attachment, etc), and state (room name, avatar, member list, etc). You can define your own custom data.

The added value is replicating that data across servers (that includes re-syncing after history diverges, like a CRDT), and checking it against some rules (somebody cannot join if they've not been invited and the room is private, or read history).

So spaces are just rooms, which indicate a special type ("m.space") in their state/creation event. Also in that state, they contain addresses of other rooms. Some of these rooms can be spaces as well.

--------

I'm not sure about a layman's perspective, but for me it always clicked that:

- rooms are just places where you can chat with other people

- you can be alone in the room, in which case stuff you write there is for yourself only

- you can later share that room with someone else

- or make it publicly accessible, maybe also discoverable by publishing it in the room directory

That permission model is quite intuitive IMO. If you create a google doc, it's the same. I often create rooms, set the avatar and permissions before inviting people over or making it public.

Really interesting, will R2 support lifecycle rules like S3 does? We write around 90 million files per month to S3, if we could replace that with R2 and have the files automatically expire after 30 days that'd be a pretty amazing price reduction for us.

It's kinda true that most SV companies don't lie to regulators, but it's mostly because they operate in unregulated spaces, or like "totally not an hotel booking service" and "totally not a taxi company", just claim to be unregulated.

Ask HN: Have you ever spend days unable to do *any* work?
For the past couple of weeks, I've been suffering an absolute inability to be productive at work. I mean spending the whole day staring at the screen not writing a single line of code.

At first I thought it was a problem of attention, since I was being distracted by literally anything, from a text to street noise. But even removing all distractions and putting on some noise cancelling headphones won't do the trick. I just feel... unable to start.

It's a feeling that's really difficult to explain. Like the feeling that keeps you from jumping into a swimming pool when you're at the edge. I don't find work unpleasant, not the tasks that I have in front of me difficult, and I'm not particularly bored, or tense, or anything. I just can't do it.

Is this normal? Any of you have any idea about how to deal with this problem?
For anyone who likes this sort of thing, the initial few episodes of the History of English podcast[1] is amazing. It dives into the history right from Proto-Indo European and in fact covers the Greek and Etruscan influences, and spends time speaking about the people and their culture.

There’s a lot of video evidence to the contrary on your beach claim.

Personally I was nearly run over by a police suv and tackled off my skateboard at noon by an officer in a major American city for violating park closure.
Here I am instead trying to minimize my hardware by using a less-addicting single black/white display with no video playback capability. VR on the other hand seems the quintessential distraction by literally stimulating way too many senses for what seems healthy.
> Given that there's numerous cities and countries that are suffering from water shortages, you'd think that the price of water would go up already. But it hasn't, because there's interests at play to keep the price of water relatively low.

That just means the shortage is not sufficiently severe to cause prices to move.

> Anyway you'd need different prices for different types of consumers, because it's a basic need for humans; you can't make water unaffordable for poorer people.

The simpler way is to give poorer people money.
Ya, no.

> That can definitely be a problem in general, but is it likely to crop up in this case?

Only issue I can think of is slight loss of precision along big surfaces, as partial derivatives will have bigger deltas. It's only a problem if your fragment shader maths is numerically sensitive to such things.
Could you provide some more details on the storage system here?

But let's do apples to apples here, because you are comparing "military grade" hardware and I'm talking about software, something where component costs are 0 and have 0 cost to duplicate.

But that's really secondary to the point, if something has proven itself in the most strenuous conditions you can feel confident that it will meet your needs. Assuming your needs are in line with the aforementioned conditions, ex. yes, a "military grade" laptop will be bulky, and grandma will not care about that feature, but someone in an auto-shop who needs a laptop to withstand all sorts of punishment might feel the extra bucks are worth the confidence.

My assumption here is you and those with similar views do not view privacy as a requirement for grandma, and I think that is the crux of the argument. Privacy can be its own reward and everyone will determine their own value for it. If grandma's circumstances are that she needs/wants that privacy, then having a battle tested solution that can be counted on is an easy decision to make.

If they blocked chinas bots they would also block the follow, like, spam and click fraud bots. Removing 50% of twitters traffic would be hard to justify to higher ups, you could argue that the robots just produce noise and lower the quality of the product but higher ups just want to see the numbers get bigger.
The mail command has been around for a while, and was intended mainly for human use, not scripts.

For example, just run mail alone with no arguments. It'll display the messages in your local mail box, and prompt you which ones to read, keep, delete, reply to, etc.

The mail command is an MUA, just like mutt or Thunderbird, but much older.

I'm not convinced it is a bad thing. Good scale, relatively low latency, keeps your infrastructure costs down, and many of the other alerting options (looking at you Datadog and NewRelic) are crazy expensive.

Open to hearing other opinions though.
I don't want to be priced out of the water market the same way I got priced out of the housing market.

But then again, sacrifices must be made to the profit gods, it is the way.

Sigh.
To quantify it, I guess it's the ratio of (physical or mental discomfort) to (compensation) that I'm talking about.

I wouldn't say programmers have exceptionally high mental discomfort; we certainly don't have high physical discomfort. And we're well compensated, relatively speaking.

In contrast, we have oil field workers(?): uncomfortable physical and mental work, but well compensated. Or meat processors: uncomfortable physical and mental work, poorly compensated.

By that metric, it seems like we're doing pretty well.
I'm excited because while B2 + Cloudflare is great, the speed+latency isn't the greatest for some applications. So there's definitely a place for R2 here to compete more with AWS S3 than B2.

> TGV is designed specifically to resist derailment

Not sure about that. In 2015 they did a demo of a new TGV line and the train derailed just by going a little too fast in a curve [0]. It killed eleven people on board and injured 42 others.

The number of dead and injured is so low because there were very few people on board. If a bomb exploded on the first car of a TGV the number of casualties would be high.

> most of the affected kids ... didn’t have enormous amounts of lead in their bloodstreams, and only two percent had a "high" level. But as the researchers note in their paper, there's no such thing as a safe amount of lead to have in your system.

It's possible that more sensitive instruments will allow us to eventually conclude "this small amount X of lead is safe to have ...". But it makes sense to take this seriously. We know lead is bad and we know lots of environmental exposure to lead exists.

Desalination requires high energy inputs. It also creates highly salted water as waste (some gets cleaned, other water gets i cleaned) that is difficult to deal with. Given cheap energy and somewhere to store the waste water, it could be viable.
Off-topic, but would you mind sharing your opinion on your PhD? I presume you completed it. If you were in the same situation today, would you complete your PhD or drop out to go into industry?

Basically, is a PhD worth it even if you're 100% planning to go into industry?

Our dog caught Valley Fever on a road trip through the southwest. It was just dumb luck that our vet originally practiced in Arizona and was familiar with this fungal infection.

Markets aren't going to fix everything. You know what else desalination requires a lot of? Energy, which currently comes largely from nonrenewable carbon-intensive fuel sources. Can we simply spend more money to bring renewable energy sources online? It's unclear, because in addition to being pretty expensive, it raises questions of resource extraction (lithium for batteries, rare earth minerals for wind turbines) and land use (wind and solar farms take up a lot of space). And while we're spending all that money, we're presumably deciding not to spend it on other stuff, like other types of critical infrastructure or social programs.

At some point it becomes simpler to address this problem at the starting point rather than assuming the market will automatically fix any downstream issues.
It wasn’t operational, it was being comissioned.

You folks are acting as if some huge crime against humanity happened here. In reality nobody got hurt, the company who messed up will pay to put it right.

> Now I don't really understand why 16-bit or 1-bit makes a difference. Maybe someone can explain that to me.

Short answer: It's a means to an end. A 1-bit DAC with a DSP is easier to make than a 16-bit DAC with no DSP.

Long answer: If you're using dithering, every time you double the sampling rate, the perceived "bits per sample" for everything else doubles. IE: For sounds below 22khz, a 16-bit, 44khz will sound just as good as 15-bit, 88khz, or 14-bit, 176khz. Add some noise shaping, (basically, tuned hiss,) and the perceived bits per sample also go up.

Thus, a 1-bit per sample DAC at a super-high sampling rate, coupled with a well-designed DSP, and an analog low-pass filter, will perfectly preserve all of the information in the original 16-bit, 44khz signal. What the DSP does is move all of the distortion into frequencies well above the cutoff of the analog low-pass filter. That's how a 22khz tone comes out as a sine wave instead of a square wave.
I'll skip dissecting your painful metaphor and go straight to your claim. I haven't said anything about my opinion of Shodan or their work. I also know that the Internet is full of malicious actors and we must expect and protect against abuse.

I didn't give Shodan permission to access my systems. The services and methods they used were not publicly listed services that one would expect a member of the public to use. They don't have implicit permission.

Before reporting them to their ISPs, I checked the terms of the ISPs. These prohibited Shodan's behaviour.

I didn't exaggerate or lie to the ISPs, just gave them the facts. The ISPs chose to bring this up with Shodan, proving that my reports were meritorious.

Shodan contacted me more than once and I politely told them not to access my systems again. Each time they ignored my explicit withdrawal of consent.

Shodan are a commercial organisation that profits from the information they gather.

So they accessed my systems without permission, broke the terms of service of multiple ISPs, which were then enforced by their ISPs, and then were specifically asked by me to stop on more than one occasion, which they did not. They profit from all of this. And you think I'm a Karen?

It used to be that people who used the Internet did so under certain social norms. One of these was not to touch another's network without permission and, if caught, accept you got caught and gracefully stop it. I guess because you like Shodan, you assert they can do all of this and anyone who reasonably and politely objects to it is somehow unreasonable.

It bemuses me what the Internet has become.

Kodi is awesome, but every time I try to use it on a set-top box-type thing, it promptly consumes the entire available storage. I'm going to have to concoct some type of just-in-time mini-library so that these things don't get overeager with posterization, indexing, artwork, etc., but still allow me to use them to watch things essentially on-demand. Sounds efforty so I just won't.

Well, you may get your NY to LA route because the midwest area is quietly building out their passenger rail capacity for their own needs and desires. Everything they are doing is discrete, incremental projects that have an attainable budget and timeline. They are using normal rolling stock so speeds are limited to 110mph, but they are laying the groundwork to allow for faster speeds later on.

I started receiving a lot of sexually-explicit spam addressed to recruiting@mydomain.tld, so now I know that one of the recruiters to which I gave this email address had their inbox/contact-list compromised.

The electricity costs are >90% taxes, though and Germany's industrial output is also significantly higher than France's.

Per capita calculations are therefore flawed from the very start and not a useful metric.

Looking at actual data reveals a clear trend: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a1i2y40rtyg7s3p/AAAjxiD5DhvWmcyK2...

France's electricity production from nuclear shrinks similarly year-on-year to Germany's reduction in electricity production from coal.

Also no new reactors have been built in France in over a decade. Make of that what you will.
We tend to view the tech industry through rose-tinted lenses because we mostly hear about the companies/projects that didn't fail - but statistically the vast majority of tech companies/projects fail.
