I'm self hosting with mail-in-a-box as well. It comes with a nextcloud install. It hasn't been flawless but it's been good and I'm happy to have some control.

With e-mail, I haven't had any problems with one exception. When e-mailing the local school system, they reject my e-mails. I looked into it and it turns out that their spam provider was blocking me because I was a private domain or something like that. It was a configuration on their side. Their tech support told me that I should "get an e-mail address with a normal extension."

Outside of that issue, my e-mails have gotten delivered. Between graylisting and the built-in spam filter software, I haven't had any spam issues. It's been smooth as far as that goes. The webmail (roundcube) isn't as nice as gmail but desktop and mobile clients are good in any event.

The mail-in-a-box nextcloud install does use sqlite which means that you should make sure to backup contacts in case sqlite breaks. It broke for me once but I was able to copy my contacts from Thunderbird back into the system without any real problems.

Calendaring works pretty well with Nextcloud but I haven't found any calendar software that I really love. The web software is good but not super fast. Lightning has gotten better but still feels bolted on. Kontact calendar is too groupware-oriented for my personal use. Evolution never quite felt right to me. The built-in Apple calendar and Samsung (Andriod) calendar apps work fairly well.
That doesn’t seem very useful for day-to-day cooking. How often do you cook steaks that are so thick? A typical home meal will be more around half an inch.
Why Googleplex Architect Says Luxury On-Site Perks Are 'Dangerous'
Yep, misleading buzzwords used as rhetorical devices. Their use reveals intent not to further understanding, but to create discord. The media loves it, op-eds can keep attacking strawmen and people basically talk past each other.

"cultural appropriation" - no no, we mean cultural appropriation but from minorities (it's amusing that the popular definitions you see of cultural appropriation have cultural appropriation in it).

"white fragility" - no no, we don't mean white people are fragile but that some are uncomfortable talking about race issues

If you have to explain what your shitty buzzword means every time, then it's not designed to convey your bait-and-switch definition.

This is why I buy iPhones.

My mother has my old 2015 iPhone 6s. It runs latest iOS 15. Got a new battery at an apple store in under an hour mid last year. Looks like it just came out of the box.

It’s over 6 years old now.

I remember seeing similar dolphin pens down in San Diego across from Coronado.

You can see the pens on google maps.

It costs me absolutely zero cognitive load. You don't have to worry about that.

Now, trying to parse out if "they" is meant to refer to a group or an individual when used in place of s/he, that does take some work.
If I buy a pixel 6 today, I'll get updates for 2 years.

On apple, iOS 15.2 is available for a phone that is 8 years old?

Based on past experience, I expect if I bought an iOS device today - I'd have updated for at least 5 years.

Apple was releasing updates for iOS 12 as recently as 2021. That's for phone back from 2013 (!).
I was more often than not 'guilty' of what the author describes. And I actually love being the lone detective on the hunt for a cool solution.

I am not a dev by trade (data analyst) but still love to work on problems solved in code.

A lot of the advice hit home, but what struck me was this part:

> Encourage engineers to get something end to end launched internally as quickly as possible.

This is something my boss never ceases to tell us. When we build something we shall strive to have some first small thing end 2 end done as soon as possible. Rough around the edges, not refactored, code being repeated - all fine. But it has to work end to end.

Because we can brush it up and make it stable later. Because when starting we only have a vague feeling for the problem space and we need to learn the lay of the land by navigating it.

I will always cherish this advice.
You can define two `*mut`, though, in unsafe code.

People have a hard time admitting that what Snowden/Assange revealed about the US is much more damning, from infected servers to keyloggers built into USB cables.

I find China is useful as a mirror to the US. If they are doing something problematic, it's highly likely the US gov is too but just hasn't disclosed it to the public.
I've always thought nuclear war is basically Newcomb's Paradox. You want to be perceived as a one boxer (will retaliate) until the exact moment to make a choice when you two box (hold retaliation to let others live).
I've heard from someone that used one that the 360/91 was microcoded, just very differently both compared to contemporaries and to today's machines. That the fetch, decode, and dispatch was in pure logic, but the execution units themselves (at least in the float unit, which was the only unit that was out of order) ran their own microcode programs.

You wouldn't happen to know where more documents than what's on bitsavers exist for the 360/91 (or related like the 95 and 195) do you? Competing anecdotes are less than satisfying. My source has been worng before but he bats a pretty good average for his contrarian comparch statements.
At the expense of coupling which is not a trivial concern. Regardless, the browser is the only platform capable of using those types (even so the types aren't shared but generated). You don't use those types in Swift or Java or Kotlin. You don't use those types in a python client library.
If you cannot comply with Canadian laws, you cannot sell to, or operate in, Canada.

I don't think Clearview AI has any employees in Canada, so what do they stand to gain from this lawsuit? Does that tiny startup have any customers of note there?
I think you're making a mathematical error here.

If inflation goes to zero, that does not mean prices have fallen to where they were before. It merely means prices stop increasing further.

So a temporary bout of inflation equal in magnitude to a one-time but persistent wage increase, _do_ cancel out.
Who's surprised that vaccine developed for original strain doesn't work after several mutations?
I don't know that it's Christian sensibilities so much as a political view extremely susceptible to this sort of shrewd manipulation. As the person you're responding to said, the smoke screen is to cast criticism of China as racist or xenophobic. They even have a term, "baizuo", to mock this concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baizuo

In general you're right though. They are very successful at using weaknesses against us.
I know - it's just crazy and a totally different world.

It also really helps with resale value. I can't believe what I was getting for my old iphones.
The brief from Ascension makes it clear that both they and the court were ambushed with last second filings claiming urgent harm to ThedaCare's patients. I can't blame the court too much for a bungled attempt to preserve the status quo that lasted for one weekend.

Yes, it appears that it may have cost some of those workers a day of working at Ascension, but that's one of many things that ThedaCare should be on the hook to pay for at this point.

I've read enough to see that ThedaCare's lawsuit is baseless and I fully expect it to get thrown out. ThedaCare is the one who should pay damages here.
It probably doesn't make much of a difference because Magit's stashing commands offer more flexibility that even after this addition is still missing from `git stash`. Stash creation is actually one of the very few areas where Magit doesn't use the respective Git procelain commands at all (as opposed to using them and then doing additional things using other pluming and/or porcelain commands as is the case in many other areas).

Also I have to continue supporting older Git releases anyway; people like to use the latest Magit version without considering doing the same for Git, for some reason.

"Omicron is acting like a super booster," Unnasch said. "People who have gotten omicron are going to be really well protected against infection, not just disease moving forward, which is a really good sign."

Instead of "super booster", you can just call it what it is: natural immunity.
It has greatly improved over time with windows 10. Though I do still occasionally have the issue you are talking about. Wox launcher is an excellent replacement and with autohotkey you can replace the function of the windows key to launch wox instead. But windows 10 eventually got good enough that I stopped using wox.

For my first several years of using windows 10, search literally did not work at all. And it was apparently a pretty common and very difficult to solve problem according to online searches at the time. But they finally got their act together somewhat.

For searching for files, I still use "Everything".
Guardian articles with inflammatory headlines... Hackernews is finally going the way of facebook, reddit, and twitter
I am the CEO at Spider.com. We vet all of our users, you likely know who our customers are, they are large fortune 500 companies. Businesses that need pricing on Amazon products or positions in Search Engine results. The large enterprises with all this data don't make it easy to gather at scale. So by using a few queries from thousands of different IPs we can use the collective wisdom of the crowd. Secret shoppers have exist for about 500 hundred years and pre-date the Internet. You use this service every time you shop at a grocery store. The price of a bag of rice or can of beans will be reasonable to competing grocery stores.

The great news is we are not processor or memory heavy. In fact we don't compute anything local on machines and the bandwidth we use is the equivalent to downloading a few images. We sponsor projects to help developers and keep software free. We all know that software takes hundreds of hours to develop and maintain, so symbiotic relationships are good for the community.

We always require disclosure and being upfront with users. We require an informed decision on the part of the software's user. I am happy to answer questions about how Spider works. I can assure you we are GDPR compliant, we don't care about collecting user data we only gather data that is publicly available online about products and companies from public facing websites.
but its getting too hard to find new discoveries
The Twitter commenter who described this as "neurotypicality fan-fiction" pretty much nailed it.
I get the appeal of TS, but why the fuck would any project tie themselves to the language in this way? Angular 2+ did it, I didn't realize Deno did as well. Very bizarre decision unless I'm missing something.

> ...I always thought the argument here is if the manufacturer stops supporting the device, you can always get support through the community via custom ROM's.

That doesn't apply for kernel support. Custom ROMs generally use the last supported kernel from some official ROM. Then they start to accumulate known security vulnerabilities, because they never get updated again.
Technically yeah, but the threads could only communicate through message passing which isn't ideal for performance. The more recent major improvement is for workers to be able to share a single memory space similar to how threading works in native applications.
Right, we do a standup, but if you're not careful the updates can be generic enough like "making progress on X" where you still end up working too long without feedback

Well for example, we are producing far too much CO2 and plastic, and slowly killing our planet. Renewable energy has already been invented, but we continue to do these things because it is profitable. Unless we can invent replacements for existing CO2- and plastic-producing processes that are even more profitable, the status quo will continue.

I don't have an issue with trying to do said inventing, but when we put all our eggs into the deus ex machina invention basket, we are ignoring the sociological roots of the pollution, the fact that we could realistically stop now if only we had the political will, and instead opting for a hail mary.

I also find it frustrating that many of the people holding out for a tech fix are libertarians, and will actively oppose political solutions in favour of their faith in the free market.
Interesting. I wouldn't have thought that would comprise enough of one's budget to have such a big effect. Thanks
The issue isn’t so much having additional threads, it’s needing two main threads. The browser has one main thread for accepting user input and then dispatches the relevant user events to the JS main thread.

The browser can either dispatch the events asynchronously, leading to the events being handled in a noticeably delayed way, or the browser can block its main thread until the JS dispatch finishes, leading to fewer UI events being handled. Either way is an inferior experience.
I think about phone updates as layers in a stack.

At the lowest level of the stack we have software written in literal ROM. As such, it can't be updated without switching out the hardware. For an example of a vulnerability here search for "iPhone Checkm8". No doubt there are examples in the Android ecosystem too.

Next layer up there are operating system updates. Unfortunately these are hard to compare across ecosystems as the scope of what an operating system is is poorly defined. Things like the web browser, HTLM rendering engine and SMS app are part of the iOS operating system. But on Android they're just apps and are updated the same as any other app.

At the top of the stack we have app updates.

Knowing what might contain known unpatched vulnerabilities helps me determine my risk and behaviours to combat it. For example I may not be comfortable running disreputable apps on an unpatched operating system. But on the same phone I may not worry about visiting websites as the browser is up to date.

Personally I use web apps as much as possible and native apps as little as possible, so most of the security issues that affect old phones don't concern me.
Those are not mutually exclusive. Both software engineers and school teachers can be in the shit. I'd argue that the tax impact is even worse for software engineers (as the top end of their salary is mostly consumed by the higher tax brackets) and their net situation ends up not much above that of a school teacher.
The BLAS have historically relied on a wide range of microarchitecture-specific optimizations to get the most out of each processor generation. An ideal solution would be for the browser to provide that to the application in such a way that it is difficult to fingerprint.

See also the history of Atlas, GotoBLAS, Intel MKL, etc.
This also makes using TypeScript libraries that weren’t authored specifically for Deno nontrivial.

One solution is to use an import map on the Deno side to map your extensionless imports to the corresponding files, but this only works when you control the Deno command line arguments (so not for libraries you plan to publish for others to use).

It’s unfortunate because, other than this huge problem, Deno is the best TypeScript runtime I’ve found.
> The EU is no utopia, but standards of living, environment and way of life is pretty good for the "not-wealthy".

Romania and Bulgaria are part of the EU. Some 25-30 million people in total. Do you think the standards of living are "pretty good" for the non-wealthy Bulgarians?
I assume they borrow against the after-tax value of the stock, because it will be taxed before being paid back(?) I don't know if that is significant, but I figure it's worth noting.
>I suspect a lot of people were afraid to move on to new opportunities for a while due to the uncertainty of the pandemic. Once enough confidence was restored, the job hopping we'd expect to play out over the course of a couple of years all happened in a few months.

yep that's me. I wanted to quit over a year ago but I kept putting it off due to pandemic circumstances.

but now that everyone sees omicron is a wet fart and things are going back to normal, I put in my notice yesterday.
Its not just Google. All the network providers in America are pushing forced consumption down consumer throats by giving a deadline for upgrading their phones - beyond which it would stop working.

I have two perfectly working (though a little older) phones - OnePlus 3 and a Galaxy S6 Edge. From February both these phones will not work with my phone carrier. I am aware that these are older phones and don't receive security patches etc, however I was perfectly fine using them and didn't have any issues with it. Too concerned about the consumerist lifestyle that is forced by this capitalist economy instead of providing updates/upgrades to their user till the phone's full life.

OK. You really gotta specify in the headline. There are a lot of possibilities with that vague a description.
Sure, but that is not a statement about the quality of leadership. Let's face the truth: a lot of things in the real world are just a matter of luck and/or factors which are beyond the control of individual actors.

If my project fails I like it rather to fail with me being a good leader than ot failing with me being a bad leader. My experience tells me that projects with good leaders fail less often than those with bad leaders or bosses — all while being 1000% more pleasant to spend your time with.

Being a good leader is not something you do purely for the money, ot is something you do, because it fulfils you and allows you to look back and not feel like you wasted time and energy on a pile of burning garbage.that was a bad idea to begin with.
Ask HN: Resources on Modern ML Modeling Principles/Philosophy/Concepts?
Please exclude the vagueness, as I work in a fairly guarded private industry.

I’ve been tasked with an objective to develop a system to report on user efficiency proactively. More specifically, use often overlooked data points to reveal additional information about business metrics and other deliverables. The goal being that this system is used as a global reporting tool, with all other existing reporting tools (reporting to this system and ultimately) becoming supplemental.

As this is a brand new world to me, I’ve been hitting the proverbial books (web articles, webinars, online courses, etc) pretty heavily and have formed a lose concept of the tools that might be used when and where, and have identified a number of data points relevant to this use case.

During my research I’ve noticed a difference in availability and use of tools and practices over the years. Many of what I’m finding is publications or courses on a particular platform or workflow of this sort of endeavor, so it’s very much expected to some extent.

What I’m having difficulty finding is the philosophical/conceptual stuff.

Rather than what is most popular or most cutting edge, Im looking for the “why” or “how” behind it:
- The unforeseen obstacles that others have faced
- what caused the previously considered best practice to become sub-par.
- Emerging unpopular opinions in this space, and their reasoning, etc.
- reasoning behind changes in what is considered best practices / industry standard

In short I’m looking for some information that I can use to build a set of principals to follow while working on this objective, and by future resources assigned to this objective.

Please assist!

> there is something about a legal seal

for those not aware: seals are a big cultural thing in asian cultures (at least Japan and China for sure). I saw some surplus processors shipped from china with a stamp on them, I asked a Chinese friend about it thinking it was some kind of disposition mark (trying to make sure it didn't say "DEFECTIVE" or something ;) and she told me it was the seller's name, and that was his personal stamp, basically like his signature.

That got me looking into it and a signature is a pretty good analogy. In Japan at least it appears you need a seal to do any sort of serious transaction (buying a house, etc). The seals are officially registered and indeed basically like a signature, if you stamp a document that means it's "signed".

For a business, control of the seal is pretty much control of the business, I'm guessing. It's certainly going to be difficult to do any governing of the company without it, even if you otherwise have legal ownership of the company it's going to be difficult to exercise it without the seal.

Bit of an interesting cultural touchstone, seems minor to westerners but it's apparently a big deal to them.
