That's the theory. Works great when there are no bugs and everything's been designed just right. In that world you could wipe implementations from memory because you won't ever need to dive in..

Very often I'm looking at code and "how to use the interface" is not a question I'm looking to find answers for.
Can confirm, I know somebody in CA who had the rights to the benefits (not me), and actually getting them was a nightmare. Yet, somehow criminals managed to steal billions. I am torn between gross incompetence (always a good first guess when CA government is involved) and actual collusion with the criminals.

And no, different auth system wouldn't help it. Probably would make it worse - the system would inevitably be buggy, deny entry for people who don't look like their out-of-date photo, glitch on hundreds of systems that are different from whatever the designers assumed, and would require a lot of manual adjustment - while the support workforce will be reduced, because we've got this shiny new expensive automated system, why should we keep paying for human support?
The two MIT-like schools in Switzerland, EPFL Lausanne and ETH Zürich are big tech hubs.

Also Google has a huge hub in Zürich, and most of the other big tech companies have offices there or in Zug. And as someone mentioned, there’s a lot of crypto-stuff going on in Zug.
Funny.. I was apparently already paying for this and never knew it came with email. Too bad there is a 6 person hard limit as I need 7 accounts.

Just tested a bit and it looks like only domains with DNS hosted by Godaddy work with this.
On a gist?
> There are some important differences here as in Germany everyone has an official ID card. So there is no insanity like requesting copies of bills there.

Copies of bills are usually requested in the US in addition to state issued photo ID, not to replace it. They are usually explained as requested as a means of verifying current residency at the address listed on the ID.
The long-tail isn't being considered here IMO.

Dyn.com (nee DynDNS, in the dialup days) was bought out by Oracle, my nearly 20 year old lifetime VIP account will be terminated in May despite using a few thousand requests per month and in the past highly recommending their extortionately priced but rather excellent global load balancer and enterprise anycast services (to the tune of thousands of dollars per month).

Likewise with Google, I had an original G1 phone and several iterations of the Pixel, have migrated several companies over to their excellent their cloud offerings, again to the tune of tens of thousands per month.

It just feels like I'm getting the shitty end of the stick here. In both cases I could've done it cheaper myself with other providers, and had to strongly argue that the alternative (Dyn, Google Cloud, AWS etc.) is a pragmatic and possibly the best albeit expensive choice in the long-run.
Tangentially, I had read somewhere some years ago, that the Dropbox GUI clients on some or all of Linux, Windows and macOS were written in Python and wxPython. The one that you activate from the system tray, in the case of Windows, at least.

This may have overlapped with when Guido was working there, though they may have built those clients before he joined, of course.
Either become a nonprofit or delete the account in G Suite and recreate it as a free regular Google account after the domain name has been removed from G Suite.
This is really pissing me off because of this. I've dealt with annoying limitations on my Google Account that I created back when it was just "Google Apps for Domains" to have a custom email domain for myself and my family. The service has been plagued with limitations as Google has added new services, but I've dealt with it as a nuisance - now my account is being held hostage?

Google can get bent. They advertised Google Apps as a solution for families way back when it was announced, and they're seemingly content to burn any good will it bought them.
I am affected by this. I am sorry to hear that Google is running low on cash to pay for the bandwidth consumed by my two-user email/calendar suite.
Modern highway brigands. Kind of interesting that exists still in the US.
You could try Dendron [1], a VS Code extension similar to Obsidian, and in some ways more powerful (schemas for data).

Why would anyone try to increase voter participation in general unless they knew it would increase the votes for their side?
Would printf even exist if C had sane strings?
I’ve never really needed to look for work, but https://www.jobs.ch/en/ is one of the big ones. Lots of smaller portals too.
also not an insider, but it's obvious that Google is running out of runway and needs to start making money on its products lest it should shutter its doors. /s
Does Google support ever reply???!
Promise was probably the wrong term but cool. I see this sort of ask in a lot of places coming from folks who are treating applicants being beneath them, and I guess it triggers me a bit.
If you have a Google registered domain don’t they throw in Workspace for free? Is that a possible way to continue keeping at least a single base account alive without paying per month?

Otherwise I guess I’m going to look at using something to forward emails to my free Google account (Cloudflare now has email forwarding…)
Offering perpetual licenses is a huge plus in my book, and often drives my purchasing decision. Thank you.
I'm just like so many others here: I've had these services for years and now they pull the plug.

Here's an exercise in how to piss off the world.

I will never recommend or use google products in the future if I have a choice. Never. Reason: you just don't know what Google is going to do next.

Here's a highly successful, multi-billion-dollar company. They don't need the money. But they want it, because apparently, there just aren't enough billions.
This is exactly why I've switched from strongly recommending them, to strongly recommending against them. Plus their cloud security UX is horrendously confusing for everyone I've showed it to.

Whoever is driving their cloud push has probably made the most profitable business decision, but has absolutely no idea how to make a sane product.

I just sell this calendar puzzle online: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1012906584/wooden-calendar-p...
20 years ago this was a super common situation. There were so many jobs that were easily automated and just hadn't received that treatment yet. I even had software engineers on some of my teams that were basically just template generators. Another table, write code with all the new columns and types.

Most companies have cleared out the lowest hanging fruit by now but I'm sure there are still a lot of jobs everywhere that can either be easily automated now, or would be easily automated except for one little obstacle the worker is doing everything possible to play up and preserve.
Rarely if ever, AFAIK.
The nuts-and-bolts of Android—the stuff that doesn't make for a really pretty and flashy yet-another-redesign announcements—has felt badly neglected since I started using and developing for it over a decade ago. Google seems to be terrible at getting its workforce to do the mountain of boring-but-useful work that needs to happen to make Android suck less. Instead, we get yet another widget redesign (with most of the actual implementation left up to app developers—oh you didn't think any of that pretty stuff would just work, did you? Hahaha, making it work is boring, you silly person!) and ten more messengers (product launches = promotions, don't you know!)
Propagating errors is indeed an issue. That's why, for example, my backup program never copies different files back from the backup. The backups form a tree, always writing down, never up.
is there any explanation :D?
Looks cool, I love this kind of niche projects. How do you / did you drive traffic and job postings to it?
The NSO file: A complete (updating) list of individuals targeted with Pegasus
ML/AI is definitely big but they're not really changing the world with it. Adding it to Photos has been nice but hardly critical (search is handy but “enhancements” just meant I had figure out how to disable it) and adding it to Search has been at best neutral. GCP has some good stuff but it's not especially compelling compared to the alternatives which have more features.

I wouldn't be as negative as the original poster but they do seem poorly led and that's hurting them. Even GCP gets hit with C-level concern that “Google kills products” and their sales team has been under-motivated in my experience.
Does anyone know why SNI style approach is not used for email? The client could indicate in the TLS handshake (or in STARTTLS command) that it wants to send email to comcast.com and the server would use comcast.com certificate to prove that it is authentic destination for those emails. That way you'd avoid this whole mess of needing to fetch another file using another protocol based on another DNS record etc. SNI seems to work well for web, so why not for email too?
This is not the most appropriate place for this sort of fine-grained debugging. I'd suggest to try your generated manpage on another computer to see if it displays correctly. The only thing that I can say is that "it works for me" but of course this answer is not useful :)

The main site of development for help2man seems to be this:

https://salsa.debian.org/bod/help2man

I'm sure they'll accept pull requests that fix problems. Happy hacking!
Assuming for the moment that this is a true story, IMO if the person is "clocking in" and getting paid by the hour, then this is dishonest and perhaps criminal.

If the person is paid a salary then it's fine. Salaried employees are paid to get a job done, not for their time.
I mean, if I were running a small business and needed to run my own Mailman instance, I would pay those prices—or even substantially more!—in a heartbeat. And I'm technical enough that I could manage Mailman myself.

It sounds like you were clearly representing the service you were providing, so it's a bit of a different story.
> And now we're being forced to pay for something that everyone else gets for free.

> Just looks like most of our accounts are going to get deleted or are going to have to pay $6/month for nothing.

Am I wrong or are you paying that $6/mo for having the gmail UI in front of your custom domain? Doesn't really seem like nothing.
This is literally gold
In other words, in Python you have to rely on your colleagues manually writing documentation, and if they don't you're out of luck and they're 'bad developers' and potentially the whole product is affected.

In static languages this simply isn't a problem. Types are checked for consistency at compile time and you don't have to rely on people toiling on this busy work.

Not to say documentation isn't necessary, or good, but isn't something you need to create working programs because otherwise no one knows wtf any variable is without running the program.
Check out HERE maps. Solid.
Yup. The multi-billion-dollar company is low on cash and just has to do this.

I hope they succeed in completely ruining any goodwill they have left. I'd toss out some four-letter words, to boot, but I just can't be bothered.
The end user's agent (browser) should handle the key management behind the scenes. Even without hardware tokens it's still at least as good as a software-based password manager. A Hierarchical Deterministic key system similar to the BIP32 scheme used by most Bitcoin wallets[0] would only require a single master private key per user to support any number of unrelated identities. That key could be generated from a master password, synced to each device through an enrollment process, or stored on a hardware token.

I couldn't say whether this story is true or not, but I do have to remind myself to steer clear of /r/antiwork and take it with a grain of salt. I'm a person who is happy when I'm working hard, and my current life goals include gaining skills in an industry where I can't really operate as a solo entrpreneur with a startup business. I need a job where I can learn, and I need to work hard, both for my goals and for my own happiness. Reading too much /r/antiwork makes me bitter and angry, which colors my relationships with my coworkers and employer. It's not good for me, even though I agree with most of their philosophical points (ie, pro-union, don't work for free, insist on your rights, etc).
It was mostly Christopher, Tolkien's literary executor, who was absolutely opposed. He passed away a few years ago. This project was announced about the same time that he retired from being executor.

They appear to have the rights to the Silmarillion material, which provides most of what is known about the Second Age (when this series is set). That material isn't very long, only a few dozen pages; it's more an outline than an actual story.

So it would absolutely have to be "in the spirit of Tolkien" rather than an actual story. But they appear to have access to the "canonical" material, which is enough to craft a story that would be satisfyingly consistent.

This appears to also draw on the other chapter, "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age", which is mostly about the material covered in Lord of the Rings, but provides important detail about what Sauron was doing at the time of Numenor. It could help inform a story about how Sauron led to [spoiler alert] the destruction of Numenor.
Same here. Set this up for my family, and really the only thing I wanted was a gmail account with my own domain.

Ideally I'd like to have some self-hosted solution though - will be looking at options...
While those things may be good and me be helpful to a degree - the solution is generally to move your dns and pipes to the internet to a provider that can handle a larger spike in traffic - things like cloudflare and specialty ddos hosting center may be necessary - unless it's a short and cheap ddos - like a 30 minute attack - then just wait it out.

A decent ddos attack, even ones that you can buy for 20 dollars on the clearnet, is going to overwhelm the most optimized code base since it will disrupt most of the average data centers, regardless of the rate limiting that you try to make happen on the box itself.

at least in my experiences and from the things I was forced to learn on the fly for some time.
Not to hijack your thread, I'll give this a try, but I've recently started using Sorted for this type of task management and the feature I find most important is the ability to shift the time blocks easily just by selecting them and scrolling the mouse cursor to defer them all to a later time by +30 minutes, +1 hour, etc.
I don't remember the details, but fastmail was recently the recipient of some HN ire recently. Might be worth your time to search to see if it changes your opinion of fastmail. Lots of users chimed in with alts in the thread there.
This is mostly true if you come from certain nationalities and/or places. Arabs and people from the Balkans have a bad reputation because they are seen as sources of crime and or violence in the traditionally quaint Swiss society.
It’s beautiful to read even as someone older who hasn’t experienced it. I’m terribly jealous.
I don’t think I misunderstood anything. ABP still makes their money by getting people to see ads, and they still send businesses emails saying “give us money or we’ll block your ads”.
Ah yes, we used Dyn global load balancer 10 years ago. It was a great solution at the time. But they kept their high prices while AWS started offering more flexible solutions at 1/100th of the Dyn price.
> seemingly-neutral requirements that were designed to stop their participation

This is notably the origin of the term "grandfather clause", although its current meaning is subtly different from the original sense.

The 15th Amendment made it illegal for states to deny the right to vote directly on the basis of race, so instead they imposed new poll taxes and "literacy tests" (which were not designed as true tests, but rather as instruments to allow poll workers to arbitrarily "pass" and "fail" would-be voters), while exempting those whose grandfathers were eligible to vote before a specific date.
Working on https://folge.me - desktop app for creating step by step tutorials and guides. Unlike modern SaaS businesses I decided to charge one time price, which makes revenue very unpredictable, but usually keeping around 400-500 USD per month
OK, now you're talking about asking for a policy position, rather than what they call "constituent services". "Constituent services" is "I am personally having a problem with some aspect of government in my personal life and I am contacting you as my elected representative to help me."

In every place I've lived, elected officials are good at constituent services, and that's how they get re-elected. I'm surprised to hear of elected reps just ignoring constituent services requests.

I also sometimes contact my reps with lobbying/policy stuff -- what is your position on X? I urge you to vote No on Bill Whatever and would like to know if you will. Can you commit to supporting legislation to reform Y? Etc. And it can indeed often take months to get a form letter response that may not really respond to my query at all, or not get a response at all. It's true.

If you want to go on to say that they shouldn't be different, or that the policy issues really do effect you personally so should be considered or treated the same... that's fine, you may be right, but it's not how the offices of elected officials usually operate.

Also, while I'm surprised to hear of reps totally ignoring constituent services requests with no response... if your constituent services request was about police misconduct, and they aren't known as a far-left politician, I'm less surprised, because that's such a hot button "political" issue. (I'm not saying it's "ok" or I like it, just based on my understanding of how politicians operate i'm less surprised).
That seems somewhat selective quoting of the page to me. The video on the same page prominently starts off with "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself".

So Tesla wants to have it both ways, to boast of self driving above the fold, while denying the self driving in the small print.
Yeah, I' in the same boat you are.

I dont know if I want to pay six bucks a year for that privilege, per account. I'm giving away emails on my domain too. Most of which are not used.
Oh and before I forget, Bern has a bunch of OpenData/government IT stuff going on, and Basel is a hub for medical companies (Novartis and friends), and thus has a lot of med-tech companies.
Many subreddits are simply themed containers of creative writing.

One really annoying trend I am seeing in some mainstream news publishing online is repackaging social media clips and "reporting" on them as if NewsWeek breaking a story, Reddit and TikTok seem to be the current darlings of this form of phone it in journalism.
+1 for FastMail, been a happy user for a while.
Interesting, is this also an assumption?

I can totally see people put their children and interests ahead at the expense of others, the "selfish gene".

Just extrapolating, humans are not the most morally consistent creatures.
My guess: It wouldn't because this is about static languages. Typescript is still a dynamic language with a very smart (probably best-in-class at this point in time) compile-time typechecker/static analysis tool.
I hope it's plenty- I was really starting to worry about Google's bottom line with all their goodwill to users. /s
If anyone has a devops/Kubernetes related project that isn't making money but has decent traffic/users, please consider messaging me!

We (http://robusta.dev) are interested in sponsoring open source projects and popular Kubernetes bloggers to raise awareness about what we do. It's a rare win-win. We're mostly open source and extremely flexible if you have any special requirements.
I think they have always replied to me (as a paying customer). Now, whether their reply has any relevance to the question I asked, let alone solves my problem, is another issue entirely. I have at times wondered if they just have a random reply generator that doesn't look at anything except the subject line of the request.
I don't understand why they do this. Microsoft used to have a service called Windows Live Domains that used your normal TXT-record validation and killed it off in 2014; the shift to requiring GoDaddy be your registrar for outlook.com premium just baffles me.
I've launched a couple months ago https://linkz.ai

Linkz.ai is hyperlink auto-previews that keep visitors on your website. It's heavily inspired by Wikipedia & Google Docs link preview popups with special extras. For example, when you click on a YouTube hyperlink, it does not take you to Youtube website, instead it opens lightbox with Youtube video on your website. All with just one line of code.

$500+/m in a first month

I mean they can, but it'd be kinda foolish, we're the people who've been pushing people into their service.

O365 looks pretty decent.
The PolyEvolver is one of my favourites - the sounds haven't 'aged' much, unlike most of the 90s synths; would be difficult to let that one go!

Woah - you wrote and maintain Edisyn? Excellent software, and pretty much vital to the productivity (and sanity) of synthesists worldwide; thanks very much for your work!

I use Edisyn for my Kawai K3 (which has an unusable button-and-dial interface for wavetable editing), although it's not on your list in GitHub for some reason. I have the SoundTower PolyEvolver editor, and it's quite functional (albeit within a quirky interface). It also 'unlocks' custom user wavetables, which is helpful. Not sure if that influences your decision to tackle another editor, but I'm sure it would round out your DSI list (and the MonoEvolver would be a natural leader/follower).
This rings very true for me, but I think the disconnect is often an inability to formalize any task. Seems like often the same people who can't get a computer to do what they want also can't write coherent instructions for another human to do what they want.
do the friends only email each other on the domain, or use it for all things email? if doing it just amongst the friends, you can drop to just one account, then share the credentials amongst the group. use it like freedom fighters to just write drafts to each other.
True. I suppose what they’re trying to say is that we don’t recognise Indian and Chinese classical history as much as we should, which is valid considering it was extraordinarily sophisticated. That being said, besides knowledge and technological transfer, it does not form a core part of European history in the same way Rome and Greece does.
My sister got a 9 month gig with the local municipality to copy-paste cells from a folder of 1000s of source excel sheets (with some transformations) into a master Excel sheet.

They paid her per entry and she was supposed to do 200 entries per day. By the end of the first week she'd automated the entire thing with a script that did just that.

So she ran that script every morning for nine months and spent most of the days biking, hiking, and swimming.
