I’ve considered doing the same thing many times. My vote would go to Sendgrid based on my last round of research 2-3 years ago.

Reasons:
1. Automatic DKIM rotation. Sendgrid will setup 2 CNAMES so that they can automatically rotate your DKIM keys making this a “set and forget” situation.

2. Good delivery logs so you can see exactly why something wasn’t delivered if there was a problem.

3. Different permission levels for different users included. You can create a user with only SMTP permissions to use to send with while not having to worry that if it’s compromised someone can go ballistic on your account settings.

3a. Solid 2FA

4. They fiercely guard their IPs against abuse.

5. Ample free tier for personal use.

6. I believe they have an option to spam filter your outgoing messages so that even if the account (or machine) was compromised, you could prevent delivery.

Those are the main reasons from my experience. Plus all the other more standard features like read receipts, etc if you want.
Have you never been in a situation where you feel you care most about the project goals only to find out everybody else seems to care less?

It feels stressful and lonely because you feel like you have to hold all the strings together and if you fail, the whole project will fail.
The spacing effect is utilized by spaced repetition.

Sorry, I ended up thinking far beyond helping employee send a departure message when the original comment mentioned a SaaS service for it in my head and disregarded the context.

I was thinking of a tool which would help companies departure employees smoothly. One thing that involves in departuring an employee is removing their access to the internal services related to the company. That's why I mentioned nira. It solves one key part of departuring an employee.
> Even if scumbags are infatuated with something,

Nobody is taking about infatuation except you.

Obviously the comment is talking about the incentive for people to try to drive the value of their holdings up.

The scumbags are the ones who do this dishonestly.

> And the comment’s wrong too… the scumbags probably want to cash their gains out to traditional currencies, they’re least likely to be in it as technology true believers.

No. Anyone can be a scumbag. It has nothing to do with being in it for a quick buck or being a true believer or not. It’s simply about what methods one is willing to use.

So yes, Hodlers, and crypto-utopians can be scumbags too.
This is a great point about a potential downside of the 'Free Drive' decoupled crank concept. By decoupling you also get rid of the coupled inertia of the bike/rider and petaling becomes weirdly inertia free which most people really dislike.

Though I guess with very sophisticated sensing and control algorithms you can in theory emulate inertia. I wonder if they try to do that? Would be a cool project.
> Overall hybrids have less mechanical parts than regular ICE vehicles.

And free bonus: they almost certainly have regenerative braking, so you probably won't find yourself with a car with a small engine and no engine braking worth talking about.
I would agree with this personally, and probably most fans of traditional bikes feel the same, but I don't think it's true for the other 95% that agony is a prerequisite for enjoyment.
Given that you have all your content locally and can push whatever you want as long as it's static, it seems like the only part you "don't own" is the maintenance.
> Why would people who are so much more knowledgeable than you want to have you around?

Because they have more work than they can handle and want you to fill in their shoes at some point in time. That is the basis of hiring junior developers.

The business is being sold for an undisclosed price to Francisco Partners, a private investment firm.. Watson Health was set up as a separate business in 2015. IBM then spent more than $4 billion to acquire companies with medical data, billing records and diagnostic images on hundreds of millions of patients.
So all you're saying is that cryptocurrencies can be deployed to facilitate illegal behavior. We've known that for quite a while.

> I hate having to have a block of `if bar is None` at the top of my functions.

Doing it the if-statement way is the clearest and easiest for other programmers to follow, therefore it is the best way.
As a worker drone who has spent my career in Sector 7G, I'm continually amazed at how many business decisions seem to be based on these "magic" quadrants. We spend 12 months building a capable and flexible infrastructure on Product A, only to have our management ask us why we haven't moved everything on to Product B, which is slightly closer to the top-right corner in the magic quadrant.

I always answer, "Sure, we could, if you're fine with not other progress getting made towards your business objectives for 6 months."
Or you can just put it in a hexagonal clipping mask and save it as a PNG, then use that. No need to spend any money on a blockchain. It'll have the same effect of "people who dislike cryptobros blocking you on sight".
...And software developer job is still in the top 1% (also salary is not bad), probably only dog trainers love their job more (just a guess).
Isn't this the typical corporate acquisition process?

* Bring in Deloitte, McKenzie, or other consulting group.

* Gut the acquired company to reduce costs.

* Fold newly acquired divisions into existing mediocre division.

* Service gets run into the ground without the original people who made it great.

* Eventually the service degrades and customers leave, business line stops generating profits

* Company goes through the process again.
DAOs are just another convoluted scheme to try to make people buy cryptocurrency.

"The Problem With NFTs" explains it very well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g
The lack of automatic DKIM rotation is the only thing that keeps me from using them instead of Sendgrid.
I generally think it'd be wise to develop for either Safari or Firefox first. Then fix for Chrome after.

i.e. develop for the underdog(s) first.
Zeloof's father runs a sheet metal fabrication shop that makes components for other manufacturers. They do excellent work, I've worked with them in the past. I'm guessing his father knows engineers in all sorts of industries.
They have since pivoted again. IGS was just spun out into a new company whose name is gibberish. Lol.
I don't think it's fully appreciated that automotive brakes are highly engineered and evolve very slowly. And a car can absorb the weight penalty of a failsafe braking system. Also, two wheel electric braking would require two electric actuators.
> MBA schools havn't mint out bitcoin graduates yet

Genius!
This is exactly what I have noticed as well. For example, when reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications for the first time I had absolutely no exposure to distributed systems and concepts like partitioning or replication. Even though it wasn't that difficult to understand the chapters, I couldn't truly appreciate the information.

Now, however, with more experience and the necessity to deal with these issues at work, I keep revisiting DDIA on a regular basis and this is when the book truly shines for me.

It just bothers me at times that even though I read quite a lot, the amount of information I can confidently restore even within a few days is not even close to 50%.

Taking notes is definitely something I should try, in addition to organizing a handy set of bookmarks in Raindrop whenever I encounter something useful.
>...Instead of pushing for marriage equality it might have been better to push for marriage to become a private contract matter, with expiration dates, extensions, remedies, and such built in.

No, it would not have been better. We were concerned about whether we'd be able to visit our loved ones in the hospital, or make decisions about their critical care when they were incapacitated, or whether we'd be able to legally pass on property. We did not have equal dignity before the law, those of us whose relationships were considered illegitimate. We weren't really concerned, and still aren't concerned, with creating the most libertarian expression of legal coupling. We are still fighting to be treated like everyone else.
NFT profile pictures really are the "mark of the idiot and/or the crook" and those people advertising that fact about themselves hopefully makes them easier to avoid.

So thanks for that, Twitter.
To add to that: It is always a good idea to finish the work day before you completely solved the problem. That allows you to pick up right where you left off in the next morning.
That was the biggest problem. It wasn’t quite possible yet, at least with how IBM wanted to use it. Rometty and her executives believed their own marketing hype. It’s why, billions of dollars later, Watson Health failed because it couldn’t make better cancer treatment decisions. Watson Talent Management failed because it couldn’t make better hiring decisions. The tech was misused.
On the order of millions of kids have parents who know semiconductor engineers, and 1 of them ended up manufacturing chips in the garage.

Please don't try to pick apart his accomplishments to make a point. He's still doing something that almost nobody with equivalent resources took the initiative to do.
I'm not 100% sure about Mathematical Modeling. But given you checked out TU Delft you might as well check out Utrecht University. They have a very cool and hands on Math department and offer 2 week Summer schools to take a look - possible to get a cost reimbursement if that's an issue. Once you're there you can just ask what they recommend.

If it's for a single user, at that price, Microsoft's Exchange Online Plan 1 might be another option.

Otherwise Migadu or PurelyMail are a lot cheaper.
It requires a lot of exploration and guidance thus I'm super interested in how his childhood looks like. I myself wasted tons of time when I was young, ended up with a mediocre job and struggling with building a hobby. I have a 16 month boy and definitely wants him walk a different route.
While this is supposed to be an argumentum ad absurdum, it's quite great. Makes you consider that anything from dentistry to sanitation could really be thought of as similar to engineering and gives a nice healthy kick to the ego of an engineer.
It's an old musician joke -- it means a human powered instrument. ;-)
> IMHO if you're not pedalling it is no longer a "bicycle", it is some other class of vehicle (e-scooter?).

E-scooter, at least in the US, generally means kick/push scooters.

"Moped" would probably be the right qualifier.
Nobody in this thread is suggesting a vegan diet, or suggesting that our ancestors were vegan. I actually didn't mention vegetables at all in my comment. If you look at what I wrote, I suggested that ancient humans were primarily eating high-fat, high-protein, foods like seeds, nuts, insects, and small game.

Here's a citation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482457/

Moreover, this makes sense. Hunter-gatherer life was not easy, and ancient humans scraped by on what they could get. This likely entailed eating a lot of fat and protein sources that today are considered distasteful, like insects, rodents, lizards, and organ meats.

There's a lot of keto/paleo/primal bro-science floating around that people use as a post-hoc justification for a diet that is destroying the planet. But if you really want to live like our ancestors, you should be eating grubs, rats, roots, seeds, and tripe in addition to the occasional steak.
I like it. But something is up with the dictionary. It said that “blank” and “blink” weren’t in the dictionary.
Patreon is a thing that works to funnel money from people with disposable income to artists without any involvement of The World's Most Inefficient Database, aka "blockchain". It pays most of my bills. The name is literally a riff on "patron".
My vote (like someone else here) goes to Sendgrid. I’ve been using them since before they were sold to Twilio and they haven’t let me down yet.

They also have a reasonable free tier that I basically never exceed. I’m not sure if their basic features would fulfill all your needs though.

That said, if you need personal email I’d say just use Fastmail, and you won’t be disappointed.
Is there anywhere I could go to pay someone to port an open source project to webassembly? Would pay for a working version of vcv rack 2 https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack
> showing how much they raised publicly was their 'mistake' then.

I’ve seen countless people mention this as an issue, but the only time this would really matter is if you win, but the other bidders used the information to bid up the sale price. The fact is the other bidder had unlimited resources and desire to win the auction and so would have outbid the ConsitutionDAO even if they didn’t have knowledge of their budget, it’s not as though Ken Griffin would have given up before his maximum budget because he didn’t know ConstitutionDAO’s total funding.
guess it depends on your definition of simple. I think a chain is pretty simple, and low maintenance to boot if you make it sturdier (as you would on an ebike) and enclose it.
The "encoding" argument seems like the perfect use case for a strict type, ideally something that works like a sum type, or union types in TS. I think the difference is that in Python unions are unions of types, and not of values. I think "typing.Literal" would be what you can use here in Python.
I was expecting to find at least one legitimate argument for NFTs but of course did not. NFTs are such a joke. If someone copies your NFT what are you going to do about it? The only thing you can do is cry to a centralized government to enforce it.
Increase conversions after free trial by visualizing value first
Sure. but perhaps think about the use of emotive words like "deceitful" when you don't fully understand what's going on?
I'm sorry, but information means something, and it does not equate to number of strokes. A character can have millions of strokes and still convey the same information as a character with a single stroke.

There are other measures of "efficiency" of course. If the author wanted to argue for how long it took to write a sentence, then sure, Simplified is definitely more "efficient" than Traditional in this context. On the other hand, it's pretty odd to be defining languages in terms of written form rather than their spoken form. (And I'm not sure why Cantonese would be more efficient than Simplified Mandarin as Cantonese is normally written using traditional glyphs.)

Anyway, the author inserted information into this discussion. And if efficiency is in terms of information, then this pixel argument doesn't hold water.

As to the difficulty of simplified chinese: this is a well studied topic with a lot of scholarly analysis. I am pretty sure the literature as a whole strongly disagrees with your claim.
the lack of filter/reduce and other higher order functions is precisely what keeps me out of go. I don't want to be restricted to what I learned about programming in my first year. Go forces me to code like a first year college student.
I think the idea is to improve your learning speed by having experienced peers around you. If you only help less experienced people all day, i.e. 'you are the go-to answer man', before you are a true domain expert, that can hinder your career.

> For example, is is known that teenagers would have health benefits from later school start time but it's almost impossible to implement that due to rigid clocks of everybody else.

It absolutely has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with people essentially not believing that it actually matters. And to some extent due to convenience for parents who drive their kids to school.

My local school system does have high school students starting late relative to elementary schools.
Sounds like me at 26. I finally walked away from it at 28.

Your window to return to bonkers tech money is wide so you can afford to go away from it a while.
But after you do, you probably won't want to return. That's fine! Just sock away enough that you don't feel you have to, otherwise it'll feel like reinserting yourself in the matrix and it SUCKS.
Even as someone who’s been writing code for around 15 years and has worked as a dev for 7 years, I really wish something like React was built into browsers.

All of the external tooling required is a huge turnoff… I wish it weren’t necessary. If I could just fire up a browser and plain text editor and start writing a reactive web app with zero dependencies like I do for plain HTML/CSS/JS sites that would be like a dream.
That's a good thing! Using `kwargs` is generally a terrible idea.
These are not mutually exclusive.

Schools still need clocks to coordinate regardless of what time they start.
It's not only not a trick, it's how the language is designed with the intention of doing it like this.

To me it's like complaining that (++a) is a "trick" that lets you use secret temp values that are hard to understand. I mean.. _I guess_, but it's C so it seems like the problem is that you don't like C.
Magic quadrants are not kidding around.

I set up briefings to Gartner Analysts seeking to get our consultancy on a quad early in the mobile era.

One of them was on the earliest examples of hybrid HTML / native views in iOS. One of our engineers was implementing them in the Apple Store app.

IIRC, Gartner was not ready to split out boutique mobile dev but getting an earworm into an analyst with influence over a quad is still valuable.

I presume there is chatter on potential forming of quads before they make print.

Working these executive-influential information sources, and our firm continuing to land major app dev contracts led to an acquisition by Deloitte Digital.
I generally disagree that willing participants who gave their money without expectation of future return are getting fleeced in this particular project.

Interestingly though after a technical change in where gas/txn fees go (EIP-1559) any payment of fees actually does go to all holders of ETH proportionally due to fees fueling deflation. Of course even still this is not like a traditional pyramid scheme, but more similar to stock buy backs being fueled by each individual sale that a company makes.
makes one wonder if there won't be a spate of "domaterrorism," where radical working-class folk start burning down the homes of the wealthy...(in particular, the unoccupied investment homes)
Just like Oracle.

No one talks about Oracle. But they're still around. We did a major tech project to migrate off of Oracle after an acquisition of a large org that was running it.

It was a year-long effort to migrate. But it was worth it since Oracle renewal costs were going to be nearly 50% of our IT budget.

I take notes when I read a book then review those notes and shrink them down further. Same for videos and articles online. Otherwise I'll just forget it within a few hours.
Catan universe has a “card stack” mode where they take two sets of those 36 card decks and randomly remove 18. You end up with some randomness but much better bell curves on dice distribution. My friends and I debated for a while but once we switched to using card stack we never went back.
Now thats a user problem, if the users ISP is shit. There was internet before Lets Encrypt you know?
It turns out that my approach to reading is very similar. It sort of reflects the famous series of videos on YouTube where a concept is explained at 5 (or 6?) levels of complexity. Probably, I shouldn't be worried that some concepts (for example, SOLID or the onion architecture) take a lot of rereading and time to internalize.
The game itself has limited novelty, with the majority of people getting the solution in 3 or 4 guesses through normal fitting. It's entirely natural that people try to find new ways to challenge themselves with it.
It seems like RocketChat is popular with these groups, Oathkeepeers apparently had one of their hacked. What I'm wondering is how these hacks are happening. Is RocketChat itself insecure, or are they using poor sysadmin practices? Or is this all based on compromised individuals being given access normally?

You don't really know how secure your software is until it gets used by somebody that people really want to hack.
I don't mean to inject cryptocurrency cynicism & NFT skepticism into this discussion about IBM Watson...

But as someone who doesn't know the tech, but worked in the media side as a vendor at the tail end making marketing materials for IBM during their "Internet of Things" craze, I couldn't help but feel, as a laymen, so excited at what IoT (and other crazy developments like Watson) could be, because apparently IBM at the time was hitting up a buncha different vendors and just blanketing a certain sector of the marketing industry with jobs. Any colleagues I talked to were on some IBM marketing job or another.

Fast forward to about 7 years later, and I still have no clue what IoT is or does, but I sure saw a buncha marketing material flood mainstream media for a minute, with IBM saying it'd be revolutionary!

Just makes me think about web3/ crypto/ NFT's, how it's coming down hard with media campaigns, claims, yada yada. Definitely seems about hype & optics, just like IBM in their IoT media carpet bombing era.
They also provide mainframe-based Linux VMs for clients that require the encryption technology built into those machines. If you need to give certain assurances by law or contract, they may be a good option. Apart from that, if you need on-demand VMs for IBM i or AIX, they are one of your only options.

Ah, I remember that one. Not a fond memory, either. The C-like language is a red herring: what you actually want is the codegen backend, and having any intermediaries between your AST and the codegen's IR will just add inefficiency and uncertainty. Ironically, there are parts of LLVM-like IR poking out of it: at page 43 of the spec pdf there's a table of instructions that have their counterparts in more or less any modern codegen.
