My issue with SimpleLogin is that they mutate the emails forwarded to your inbox in a manner that breaks features based on the sender. If you're using gmail's email grouping feature it gets thrown off by this. I am not sure how I would go about it, but I would guess that spam detection would become somewhat (more) difficult too.

I always treat my customers/clients the way I would want to be treated, and it always seems to work out for the best. I've also given refunds to some customers without them asking for it first because I value their satisfaction more than I value a few dollars. There's no way to know for sure, but I suspect treating customers like this (like humans) increases retention and well-being, and not only for them, but for me (and my company) as well. It's called the golden rule for a reason. :)
I'm so, so sorry life has treated you that way.
"explain" might be a better word than "solve" there. People are looking to solve the question "why are the fundamental constants of physics what they are?" which isn't a problem in the sense of something wrong but more something that needs an explanation for a full understanding to be possible.

Like when I worked at an MPI in Germany, all the machines used Ubuntu. In Catalonia, most of the universities also use Ubuntu. The Ayuntamiento uses LibreOffice (and maybe also Ubuntu in some parts) - and for the most part, it all just works. It was the same in Zaragoza too.

You only notice it when they accidentally send a .odt file to someone who is only using Windows for example.
That sounds like you're suggesting feasting on vampires. Which I guess is an interesting reversal.
Do what you want, but do not claim "it's better than large dependency" when it does a tiny fraction of what Lucence does.
It seems to me more analogous to a certificate, since there's nothing like a signature embedded in the image itself that only one person has. Anyone can have the thing itself (an identical digital copy), but only one person has the certificate provided by the original creator.

Have you ever looked at a complex Excel spreadsheet written by someone else and tried to work out that the hell is going on?

It is really hard to work which sheets/rows/columns/cells are dependent of which other which sheets/rows/columns/cells. And that is before we even get to stuff like:

Is QNAP doing something outside the ZFS spec here? If not, it's almost certain that solutions like TrueNAS can replicate this behaviour. If they are, I'd be concerned about vendor lock-in and data recovery.

Also, if you don’t want the hardcore(!!!) installation experience of Arch Linux, try Manjaro Linux instead. It has one of the most sane defaults and the best GPU driver management system, and you can customize a lot of it since it’s just Arch under the hood.
I disagree with this wholeheartedly. To think that a discussion is meritless simple because it has already been discussed is so short-sighted!

Even on HN, multiple times monthly a link will make the front page whose content was originally posted years (even decades) ago. Does that mean the follow-up discussion is pointless? No.
I'm a big fan of Excalidraw! And a contributor, too, I implemented the pen tool in Excalidraw. Both apps use my library perfect-freehand (https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand) for the digital ink.

The main difference between the two is that Excalidraw renders to HTML canvas, while tldraw renders to a regular DOM tree. There are tradeoffs but this lets us make things like sticky notes or other types of complex embedded content without too much difficulty.

Nah, that's no flip-side.

Brazilian Portuguese and Portugal's Portuguese have very different pronunciation rules (and accents) but you, as a speaker of any of these languages, would know how to pronounce any word you haven't seen before because the phonetics are consistent inside your accent, if you can read a word in Portuguese you know how it's going to be pronounced _in your accent_.

And this just doesn't exist in English as there are multiple words that are written the same but are pronounced differently. So while there are some rules as to how English is spoken the written language does not encode them, mostly because someone somewhere decided to use an orthography that would link the word to its source word in latin or french or whatever.

Top forgeries are so similar that it often takes a team of experts independently examining a piece until the fake is detected.

Are you seriously trying to claim that the reason the original Mona Lisa has value (vis-a-vis a high quality forgery) is because of the minute tangible composition of the paint?

I’m sorry, but no. It’s clearly the intangible provenance. Otherwise forgeries wouldn’t fall in value when detected, because after all nothing has changed about their tangible composition.

> So... is Snowden on the right or left?

Why is it so important that he identified by one of those?
I work mostly in PHP for my day job, and honestly even I can understand people being dismissive of PHP. It undeniably has many advantages you and others mentioned, but equally undeniably it was from the very beginning a huge kludge (famously, its creator only intended today's "PHP language" as a template language, and when its scope gradually grew to a "full-fledged" language, nobody really cared about consistency). And this is a legacy which they have since tried their best to shake off, but they will of course never be able to get rid of it completely.

Also, same as many other open source languages, there seems to be a tendency to pick up every language extension someone proposes hoping that it might win over some developers, but I'm not really convinced. Does PHP really need a "match" control structure (https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.match.php) when it already has good ol' "switch" and "if/else"? Of course, I also like the more flexible (Pascal/)Go-style switch statement better than the "classic" C-style one, but maybe they should have given it some more thought years ago instead of slavishly following C/C++ then and inconveniencing thousands of developers by introducing a new keyword now?
In EX-Soviet states, there clearly was no Cold War meddling after the Cold War from anyone.
You have to give up arguing.

The PHP dev will argue, sincerely, that The Homer is just as practical of a daily driver as the Corolla. You have to just walk away from this kind of person.
We use it to go faster than spark via dask_cudf: bottleneck becomes pci/ssd, which is in GB/s.

For CPU, have not benchmarked latest CPU dask vs CPu spark. Would expect to see spark win on simple kernels (pandas vector ops) and lose on ML/C++ ones (ex: igraph vs graphx)

Would be interesting to see carefully done!

> I'm assuming that QNAP are using ZFS, which a cursory search supports.

QNAP has two NAS OSes right now. The newer one is QuTS and it support ZFS. The other older one is QTS which doesn't use ZFS. Only the older QTS OS supports SSD Tiering.

> Is QNAP doing something outside the ZFS spec here? If not, it's almost certain that solutions like TrueNAS can replicate this behaviour. If they are, I'd be concerned about vendor lock-in and data recovery.

I am using TrueNAS for my ZFS solution and it doesn't offer anything out of the box to address the issues I am bringing up.

The last photo in the article shows a slide that states:

The 4 commandments of trusted internet services:

1. A service you use must be available from many providers

2. It must be possible to move your data from one to the other

3. The service must also be available as software

4. The software must be available as open source

I like this criteria - and it's not new. Think of a popular online app that has met these conditions for over a decade: WordPress.

If the criteria above were more popular it might make SaaS lock-in less attractive too.

Consider the following scenario:

Hosting companies agree on a standard installation API for server web apps. This lets developers create server web apps that can be installed on any hosting provider that supports that installation API. A simple one-click process.

Businesses and indivduals can shop around to find a suitable hosting plan that will run the app. Like WordPress, there will be cheap-and-cheerful hosting plans at one end of the scale and at the other end are managed services with SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and premium support.

The open, standard installation API enables data to be transferred from one hosting provider to another allowing easy data transfer from one hosting provider to another. (Or at least an easy way to download your data).

Think of the above as the 'WordPress' model and imgaine if it was widely available to all cloud apps. It would unlock countless opportunities for developers. It would also mean management of servers is offloaded to hosting companies - while developers can simply concentrate on building their apps. Alas, it will probably never happen.
Ask HN: Career progression vs. meaningful/appealing products?
I'm in an interesting situation and would like to know about what others who have faced the same situation have done in the past.

I've been in the market for a new job since spring. At the beginning, I was only focused on products I really liked to (in summary, what a futurist engineer geek would like to: AI, blockchain, security, etc). I had several interviews, but no one struck a deal, either because they decided to move on with other candidates or because I decided to drop off.

Fast forward to mid September, I decided to start applying to positions that suit my role and/or career progression, but in less appealing companies. And I have been very successful. The minimum offer I have received doubles my current salary.

So, I'm in this situation in which I have offers which look positive from a financial and career progression point of view, but in boring products which not interest me at all and which have no upside at all.

Have you ever been in that position? What did you do?
I wonder whether the person or company who paid for the first undiding got the payment undided.

> I disagree that HN is quite so negative: I see a lot of discussions where people are productively expanding a discussion on a post.

That’s why I keep coming back to HN. But even I have to admit that those valuable posts are in the minority of comments these days.

You’re right that the HN community tries to dissect everything, but a staggering number of those dissection attempts are coming from people who don’t know what they’re talking about or who didn’t bother reading the article. I’ve seen countless comment sections where the majority of comments are from angry people who clearly didn’t read the article but want to complain about what they assumed the article said.

Worse, the bad comments are often extremely confident despite being wrong. This effect is most obvious when you click on a comment section for something you know very deeply, only to see highly upvoted comments saying things that can often be disproved with 2 minutes of Googling.

The good comments can still be found, but it takes work to find them.

I think Dan Luu said it best:

> HN comments are terrible. On any topic I’m informed about, the vast majority of comments are pretty clearly wrong. Most of the time, there are zero comments from people who know anything about the topic and the top comment is reasonable sounding but totally incorrect. Additionally, many comments are gratuitously mean.

Oh, wow, that's super underwhelming. The title is incredibly misleading.
If Slovak is anything like Polish in this regard, yes it is "just" a diminutive, but also a key word-creation mechanism.

In Polish, a screw is "śrubka", and "śruba" is a big screw - also a ship's propeller. "Kowadło" is anvil, and "kowadełko" (small anvil) is the anvil bone in your ear. "Łyżka" is a tablespoon and "łyżeczka" is a teaspoon, not merely "smaller spoon". "Suka" is bitch (either pejorative or very technical term for female dog), "suczka" (little bitch) is what dog owners and breeders actually call female dogs. And so on. Diminutives of words can end up having quite different meanings to the original words.
Async code is a good way to achieve some level for performance in I/O bound workloads, but it's a pain for the programmer. Because of that I wouldn't say that it's necessarily a good thing that JS is async-first.

In my opinion, high level languages should not expose async primitives to the programmer - this should be abstracted away by the language and its runtime. Go is doing this (all I/O is async under the hood), and it's awesome: You can write synchronous/sequential code and get the performances of async. I would love if other languages copied that.
Microblogs give you the network effect - which is not an insurmountable problem with forum software, it's just one that hasn't really been explored effectively. So, "reach".

The other part of it, I think, is that microblogs are quantity over quality. It's not mutually exclusive, of course. You'll see deep-dives in microblogs, and meaningless drivel on forums, but the system itself is built in such a way to promote either long-form content, or not.

It's much easier to fire off a thought with minimal substance on a microblog. Not that that's a bad thing at all - sometimes a fleeting thought shouted into the wind is what you really want.
A small Perl script <https://github.com/jmarshall/manconvert> that grinds a subset of man page nroff syntax directly into HTML. (That subset being “the constructs that are used in the man pages that it's used on”.)

Some of the styling could be improved (those section headings for one!), but IMHO it produces better results than other more general-purpose manpage to HTML converters: see e.g. <https://www.htslib.org/doc/samtools.html>.
This is wrong.

We know that either:

a) there’s mysterious undetectable particles, or

b) that something beyond the standard model is happening, as in your second and third points.

There’s a failed “prediction” that all fermions have similar mass terms, and that failure suggests either something strange (undetectable particles), something strange (fermions without consistent mass mechanisms) or something strange (novel physics).

I think that qualifies as a mystery.
Gravitons are a universal prediction, so one doesn't get any credit for predicting them. _Any_ low-energy quantum field theory approximation to gravity will have them, so long as it looks like GR at large enough distance scales.
The US started this already by imposing tariffs on European goods like steel.
I think it's a little bit more nuanced - if you think of something like the Hesperia incident, where a German ship breached a japanese quarantine (1897), or e.g. the introduction of spanish flu to Samoa - you can see it doesn't really take a devious plot to knowingly introduce a plague to a vulnerable population. It just takes the ordinary colonial mix of racism, callousness, and utter disregard for human life.

There are also things like the australian smallpox epedemic, which is a little suspect, given that australia is isolated enough that the incubation and recovery period is greater than the time it takes to travel there. Obviously, people doing stuff like this don't tend to leave a load of written records, but I think it's consistent with the mentality and capabilities of people at the time to engage in purposeful biological warfare.
>Linus Tech Tips is running a series on desktop Linux and they are hitting the hammer on the nail where exactly all the pain points are.

Everyone's got 2c on bitcoin but here's mine: I don't consider the price of crypto when looking to see progress / success.

Could you explain to somebody why Bitcoin is successful without mentioning that the price goes up, by talking only about the technology, product, and adoption? What if that person was unimpressed by Bitcoin 5 years ago, could you explain what changed in the last 5 years (again, not mentioning change in price) to change their opinion of bitcoin?

AFAICT the main changes in Bitcoin in the past 5 years have been some incremental evolution of the technology that I'm not aware of changing the fundamental usage of the product in any way (SegWit, LN, and most recently Taproot).

A note on blockchain proliferation: The author considers it a bad sign that there's an explosion in new blockchains. While I also consider it a bad sign for Bitcoin, I think it's a good thing for the ecosystem. My hope is that some day we'll have ubiquitous inter-chain protocols so, rather than obsessively hyping the coin/chain we're invested in, we can move all our digital assets and contracts to whatever blockchain offers the best technology, the best performance, and the lowest fees. This will allow for increased competition and evolution in the blockchain space. You can see the beginnings of this movement in some places, but it has a long way to go.
