Gmail does suck on both get spam out of your inbox and get real email into your inbox but it's not the worst one around.

And well, that could answer the OP's question, people didn't give up because there are a few providers that will receive their email and show it to users. Take any Exchange service as an example, if your email is technically formed enough to be received (many real senders will be rejected here), it will be received, and it's up to the user to forbid that one instance of spam, like if it's the 90's.
Sadly no Hulu or HBO Max in the uk, but I think the better shows end up on other services here.

I swear I am not a Google plant. I JUST went through the same process the OP did (literally yesterday).

The Play reviewer took down the app because they thought they needed sign-in information to test it (like the OP). However, this was based on a misunderstanding of some menu item in the app - the app, in fact, is perfectly usable without signing in.

I replied to the original email I had received about the problem, and... A few days later, a real human replied that they agreed with my take, and had removed the objection. However, they had found other policy violations, regarding the maturity rating viz-a-viz the app contents (it's a game). They included screen shots, showing that they had not only played the game, but pretty thoroughly, too.

Again, I followed the recommendations to comply (went over the rating wizard) and requested a re-evaluation. This was done a day later and the app re-instated. Done.

I was super surprised about how well the process worked. I even went through the trouble of completing their little support survey with praise. I had been bracing myself for a Kafkaesque nightmare when the app was taken down, considering just how many app updates Google reviewers must be going through on a daily basis, and I'm pretty sure each violation is met with some sort of discussion from the developer's side. Not to mention the reputation Google has earned for support. It goes to show that people have different experiences, and not all of them are negative.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that I don't think the OP's story is particularly egregious either. So Google auto-translates your app title? I guess you opted into this somewhere, at least they don't do this for my app. And I would never assume that Google would sit and hand-translate app titles to every language. And in either case, it actually looks like OP got timely and fairly accurate advice. I must sound like some starry-eyed Google fanboy, but I'm really not, just not seeing it here.

Fish can age well, there are some good aged fish sauces used in Japanese cuisine.

Milk also ages well (cheese).

Some subatomic particles might be a good choice. Pions decay in a few nanoseconds (for + & - charged) or attoseconds (for neutral). But "ages like Π⁰ particles" just doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Short answer: Yes, definitely.

Long answer: Depends on your situation and your goals. I was like you in that I had 2 years of programming when I decided to go to university (CS degree). At that time, no one would hire a kid who claimed he knew how to program. So my entire goal was to get a piece of paper that would validate I knew something.

Somewhere in my Junior year, I was grateful I was in school. I think it was Algorithms that did it for me. It was so exciting and enlightening.

That said, I have know successful programmers who did not get a college degree, and worked their way up, one painful step at a time. In all cases I truly believe they would have been more successful had they gone to school. But, depending on your life circumstance that is not always possible.

Do you have a good quality school in mind? Can you afford to go to school?

> People who haven't worked in financial markets have a hard time appreciating how deep the muck can get.

That's the main reason why I find the battle cry of "decentralization" so comically ironic. No government can control crypto, how awesome and empowering!

When the truth is that the vast amount of control that we've seen develop in the past century (and especially in the past two decades) were just to protect people from said muck.

You're right. The article was relatively reasonable. I think I was fixated on how much it conflicts with the primary, and very aggressive, narrative push of NPR over the last 18 months. For example, this section:

"Just as the virus is changing and evolving, so is your immune system. At the population level, immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is growing rapidly in the United States. More than half of the U.S. population has likely been infected. After the omicron surge, that percentage could rise above 80% or 90%. And more than 60% of people are vaccinated.

Both of those types of exposures to SARS-CoV-2 will reduce a person's risk of severe disease in future surges, many studies have found. "Whether you've been previously infected or vaccinated, you're more likely to have a milder course than a person who is immune naive," Goldstein says."

Just a few months ago, NPR and other mainstream media outlets were extremely aggressive in attacking anyone claiming that previous infection had similar effects as vaccination. Not because they disagreed with the actual substance of this argument (although many of the journalists did) but because of their obsession with the second-order effects of the public being informed about it. Instead of being concerned with informing the public, I would argue they are far more concerned with steering the public's behavior. They have a very narcissistic belief that they are an enlightened class who needs to shape the beliefs of the general public, who lack the Ivy League credentials, and therefore intelligence, that they uniquely possess.

Over the course of the disease, time has proven every one of these publications wrong. They attacked Sweden's pandemic strategy with a coordinated and aggressive campaign. They pointed to higher numbers whenever Sweden had them, then quickly ignored every bit of good news when it arose. There is currently zero discussion in mainstream media about Sweden doing far better than other large European nations which contain global hubs. (Comparing Sweden to Finland is like comparing Colorado to Nebraska, yes they are neighbors, but population density and lack of large cities change the entire conversation). The same thing happened in the US with Florida. If Florida had a spike that New York didn't have, it was front-page news. The minute a state with a governor the media liked had higher numbers than Florida, the reporting disappeared. I trusted the media's narrative until May 2020, when in the course of 72 hours, aggressive attacks on people partying at the Lake of the Ozarks in outdoor settings without masks were replaced by open support of people protesting in the streets without masks. As if the virus cares about the motivation or virtue of the hosts. I lost all trust in these institutions at that very moment, and will never forget it. They are jobs programs for political activists, and that coverage proved it. They are more concerned about how they look to their yuppie friends at the next dinner party than they are with reporting actual truth.
I wouldn’t say it’s a shame. Most people, even enormously consequential people, don’t have any of their own words passed down to history. Which of George Washington’s speeches is wildly read today?

“I have a dream” is an amazing speech delivered by an amazing orator. That this once in a generation talent also delivered other great speeches is unsurprising but there’s no need to denigrate the special place that IHaD has in our society out of some hipster-esque desire to demonstrate true fandom. It deserves its spot.

Ask HN: When to Quit?
I'm in a job that's got nice folks, but a terrible stack. The money's fine, but I'm not really learning, and I've been thinking about looking for another job.

Naturally, that led me to trying to enumerate when I should leave a job.

I'm curious what metrics others here use to determine when it's time to move on. What makes you decide that it's time to quit your job?

It is also possible to segment the build pipelines into separate CI and PR builds, where only CI builds have access to any secrets. The PR pipeline just builds and tests, and all of the other tasks only happen in CI once a change has been merged into the main branch. That mitigates the “random person creating a malicious PR” problem because it has to be accepted and merged before it can do anything bad.
> When I was a kid, I remember participating in Folding@Home. Unfortunately, the project doesn't appear nearly as active as when I was younger.

Hmm, I don't follow it that closely, but I have given a clock cycle or two to the project. And from taking a quick glance at their website[0] it seems they are still pretty involved. The most recent posting is called "Markov State Models (MSMs) of SARS-CoV-2 proteins" (although it may be from June 2020)

I'm also curious as to why the disinterest in crypto. I am not hugely swayed one way or the other, so its nice to hear peoples reasoning.

Really simply, I typically use Neo4j, but if I have flat homegenous data, I just use Graphviz because the dot markup format lends itself to parsing easily in awk command lines. The times I have used networkx was when I needed a graph abstraction layer to reason about another graph query, so networkx wasn't used as a persistent graph store, but more of an intermediate data structure for orchestrating multiple service and api calls, like a low rent graphql. I'm a crap developer, but the graphs were what i needed to piece the logic together coherently.

One example of clients taking months is mapping counterparties to agreements. Let's say you have inherited a division that has file share full of contracts and you want to understand the line of business. You get the counterparties out of the contracts and find all the paths for obligations between entities within the division and their counterparties. The graphviz/dot layout gives you a map of all those parties in a single slide and shows clusters, instead of a 3 lb. document with a paragraph for each of them that would have cost a massive amount of consulting time, or interviewing several people to get their narrative understanding of how the business worked, the graph provides an objective map.
You could just use D3js, but for me the dot markup was faster on the command line than structuring json.

The idea is if you can formulate a conceptual, narrative ontology of an organization, you can create a grammar of things and relationships, and then you can plug data (contract counterparties) into that model and form a fairly complete map.

Another recent use case was enterprise vulnerability scan data over a very full /16 address block, allocated across multiple divisions under different management hierarchies with thousands of hosts. By linking the host ownership data to projects and an org chart with the types of vulnerabilities, I could demonstrate in a couple of slides what the highest impact patching strategy would be. Again, graphviz for sketching up the ontology, then Neo to do the lifting.

On a much simpler scale that was more graphviz/dot oriented, I did some work for a startup where I worked with the executive team who had acquired a codebase and talent, and created an ontology of their pipeline customers, their stated needs, implied product features, platform dependencies, our service interfaces, their code bases, and demonstrated the flow of how work on the code bases flowed through to impact revenue. This ultimately got represented as a Sankey diagram, but it was graphviz/dot I used to sketch up the initial ontology.
Of those 20 bad movies, the majority are the fun-to-watch kind.

Even the descriptions in the post grudgingly admit that many of these bad movies 1) did well at the box office and 2) developed a cult following:

> Cobra failed with critics and was a disappointment. It's one of the worst movies of the 80s. However, turns out the fans loved it. It soon gained a massive cult following. It follows a basic action movie formula that failed to impress. Sylvester Stallone wrote the film but had issues with the studio. However, It did well at the box office. On the other hand, the violence and story failed to connect with fans at the time. Of course, things can always change. Cobra managed to find a whole new fan base. It's now a cult classic.

It is not clear whether Google has fiduciary duty wrt their clients, but if they do and the accusations are proven, they basically looked up every way they could violate it, and did it.

Google engineers potentially can get a job anywhere but may not want to for multiple reasons:

1) The pay, plain and simple.

2) Google-scale problems are a very specific kind of problem that may not apply to other companies. I'm sure most of the engineers would be competent at dealing with smaller companies' problems, but maybe they don't want to?

The interviewing process already selects for low-level LeetCode-style problems and I guess the ones who make it through must enjoy it. You're unlikely to have a need for those kinds of problems in smaller businesses where most of the work is CRUD and connecting APIs together.

3) At such a large company you could lay back, chill and most likely still fly under the radar while enjoying the money. This might be more difficult in smaller companies who are more demanding.
It would perhaps be a good thing if one could write SQL clauses in their logical ordering; as [1] explains:

* The FROM clause: First, all data sources are defined and joined

* The WHERE clause: Then, data is filtered as early as possible

* The CONNECT BY clause: Then, data is traversed iteratively or recursively, to produce new tuples

* The GROUP BY clause: Then, data is reduced to groups, possibly producing new tuples if grouping functions like ROLLUP(), CUBE(), GROUPING SETS() are used

* The HAVING clause: Then, data is filtered again

* The SELECT clause: Only now, the projection is evaluated. In case of a SELECT DISTINCT statement, data is further reduced to remove duplicates

* The UNION clause: Optionally, the above is repeated for several UNION-connected subqueries. Unless this is a UNION ALL clause, data is further reduced to remove duplicates

* The ORDER BY clause: Now, all remaining tuples are ordered

* The LIMIT clause: Then, a paginating view is created for the ordered tuples

* The FOR clause: Transformation to XML or JSON

* The FOR UPDATE clause: Finally, pessimistic locking is applied

It's a good point.

But I prefer to view it as "Dream as in verb." Followed by the work to realize it.

Yes, it's exhausting to see progress clawed forward inch by inch, or simply held steady against backwards pressure, but that's what real change looks like. Those who do that work, day in and day out, for years, are heroes.

Every movement needs flashy wins for inspiration and celebration. Because that's how media and the human brain work.

But it's important to be clear that those wins are the results of work, yet not the work itself. And that before and after the celebration, the work continues. Eight years cannot be expected to unmake five hundred.
One example would be an architecture on which hardware floating point is not implemented, and has to be emulated in software. This isn't uncommon in embedded, many ARM Cortex-M cores are like this AFAIK.

If you turn on "stats for nerds" in YouTube you can see the buffer size and how it is refilled, graphically. I noticed that last week. Sort of neat.
This is beautiful and I just installed it for testing in my new app, but I have a sneaking suspicion tiny databases are the sort of thing we’re all better off making from scratch so we can tinker with implementation and learn (even if that’s more work and less “optimal”)
Also, a lot of people I suspect still have old email software (Outlook Express anyone?) which might not even have spam filters set up.

It is sad because I think it isn't just gullible people generally, but those who did not grow up with computers and won't understand that "This is your bank informing you of a security breach" is bogus are unfairly hit.

Other thing is that the cost of sending massive numbers of emails is basically nothing so why not? If only 100 people out of an email list of 100M click through, that might pay you for this month.
