Tracking pixels are just embedded 1x1 images in HTML emails. They're not hidden; they're just stuffed in the rendered HTML. For example, here's one from B&H photo:

<img src="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bimages/email-icons/1pximgfortracking.jpg?email=status" />

Detecting them automatically is probably tricky, but you can avoid the entire problem by not loading external resources in HTML emails (or, better yet, always load the plaintext version of the email.)

I think that if your country have signs for rolling stops (a yield sign basically), and chose not to put one at this very intersection (even if its a new road that had not seen much usage yet), you should do a full stop, even with a car doing a full stop in front of you.

In some countries, it's not clear if you don't read the local language(Morocco, i'm looking at you!), but if the inverted red triangle exist, just do full stop.

This biocompatible self-healing electrode circumvented the toxicity challenges of previous designs and allowed it to operate aerobically.

That’s not how the GDPR is written. It may seem premature, but someone has to be first to be ruled against in order for the interpretation to come into being, same as the Supreme Court and any other interpretive judicial systems.

That the private fine is essentially a token throwaway amount reflects that the court isn’t trying to throw the book at them; one can imagine the court will be much more upset about the government instance you highlight if it remains unaddressed.
It would be amazing if they could also sell repairable household electrical goods like washing machine, dishwasher, etc - in the future.

I did this for a while and certainly got some leads but the really well paid roles still seemed to come mostly via recruiters.

The "networking" was also very time consuming. It was also fun but if i had a wife and kids I wouldnt have had the time for it.

The good recruiters seemed to have a knack for finding the companies that were the right combination of rich and desperate whereas companies I found through my network were generally from companies that were always keen on talking to a decent technologist but werent exactly craving somebody with my precise skillset to start next week.

Thanks reader view!

One point that doesn't get discussed here is that today, a copyleft-licensed project has little impact, unless it already has a massive amount of code that's difficult to replicate: with more developers today than 20 years ago, it becomes more of a possible and desirable option to fully clone/rewrite something (with a twist/different marketing angle) if there is some resistance in the initial project, and there is enough capital/will/time to invest into remaking it.

It does not gravitates around the license alone, but also how the collaboration works (how are contributions, communication, marketing, funding managed?).
Singularity 6 | Engineers, Managers, more | Remote or Los Angeles (Westside) | https://www.singularity6.com

Singularity 6 is the game studio behind Palia (palia.com): a cozy, community sim MMO. We're a pre-launch startup founded by AAA game industry veterans with VC funding by a16z and others.

Our engineering team is growing rapidly (currently 25, trending to at least double this year). Open position include (across all experience levels):

- Engineering Managers

- Game Engineers

- Backend Software Engineers (microservices, middleware)

- UI/UX Engineers

- SREs

- Machine Learning Engineers

Tech stack includes Unreal Engine, Rust, Nomad and more. We're big on open source and looking to contribute back to the community. If you've always wanted to get into the game industry, this is a good opportunity. If you're part of the industry, this is a studio that pays competitively and is committed to investing in people.

I'm the tech director and you can find me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaaronfarr/

Apply at https://www.singularity6.com/careers

Note: the Engineering Manager and Game Engineering roles require (eventual) relocation to Los Angeles. Other roles can be remote, though we prefer local candidates. Here in LA, we're still working from home.
Yep, but without the proprietary part. We have released reference designs under Creative Commons: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionCards
Exactly. It's somewhat baffling to me how some people focus so much on the technology aspects of something to the point of forgetting that its success is due to the things that it does not do.
About 40 billion cubic meters (bcm) annually in recent years down from 100bcm in 2004. I believe mostly from the North Sea. We use about 70bcm per year and so are net importers, which makes the fact we have increased exports during an energy crisis confusing.

I believe the stats on exports are exclusive to exports of what we have “produced”.

From my maths we exported about 3bcm of gas Sept-Nov last year.

My understanding from memory is that the oil/gas companies licence the right to drill in the north sea from the Crown (effectively the government). I believe the Crown estate “owns” the seabed, or something like that.

Plausible Analytics | Site Reliability Engineer | Full-time | Remote (global) | €60-100k

Hi HN! I'm the technical founder of Plausible Analytics [1], I've been the only full-time developer on the project since the beta in 2018. We are growing steadily and need to start upgrading our infrastructure to keep up with the demand. We're looking for help with:

- Deploying and running our production workloads
- Creating and testing our disaster recovery protocols. From single node failures all the way to whole datacenter failover scenarios
- Defining our monitoring, alerting and incident response practices
- Enabling horizontal scale-out of our application services and database systems
- Automating operational tasks
- etc

It's the most fun project I've ever worked on and I'm not just saying that because I started it. Our product is open source, we have great customers with household names and it feels great to be doing something about the abysmal state of online privacy. We have many self-hosters and get a lot of love and good vibes from the community.

The company is fully bootstrapped and independent from any investors. This means we can grow at a sustainable pace without having to satisfy external growth targets and timelines. We can take time to get things right and ship stuff that we're really proud of.

We are currently just 3 people which means there's little bureaucracy and politics like in larger companies. Things go smooth, you won't be sitting in meetings all day. It's a pure engineering role with ample time and space to actually focus on doing good work. There are pros and cons to how we work but we really enjoy working in a small remote team with tons of autonomy. This is how we plan to keep it.

Sadly I have to note, that almost all modern DBMS companies don’t bring anything new to the table. They incredibly over-funded, but compete in S&M instead of R&D. A sizable chunk of those are essentially Postgres over RocksDB. Don’t want to name anyone here, but 2 minutes of Googling with the right keywords will bring up more examples
I am a core maintainer on the KEDA HTTP Addon project (https://github.com/kedacore/http-add-on). It's 100% written in Go and we are a small group looking for additional contributors. I believe there are interesting challenges ahead of us that will be enjoyable to solve.

I use wine every single day, but never for gaming. I'm a 100% Linux user for over 15 years, but I have to admit that beyond the system config, package management and desktop (XFCE), I find Linux native apps on the desktop to be crap. Nothing in music land can touch MusicBee or mp3tag.de. I also just tried to rip a bunch of audio CDs and the default (and most recommended) ripper, 'Asunder', doesn't handle disc numbers. Seriously. EasyTag is anything but easy. It's like the developers never used any of the decent software available since the 90s on other platforms. So wine is a godsend, even if it is impossible to update without breaking a whole wine prefix. These days I bundle the wine version and the prefix together and don't bother upgrading them because it's just too brittle.
I guess that’s yet another reason to make a HN account.
Congratulations!

Can you please blog a bit on origins of framework? I read in press releases elsewhere that you 3D printed the prototype laptop. It'd be very interesting to see how such startups get off the ground. Given that multiple tech-shops have tried and binned plans for modular hardware, framework's early success is remarkable... yet, the story of its nascent stages remain elusive.
I hope you guys crush it, you can become the next Apple - the future of computing!
I'm building out a new budgeting/personal finance app born out of frustration with YNAB. Would love someone skilled with UX to help me out with it. The front-end is a react application, and the backend is Elixir/Phoenix.

Some of my frustrations with YNAB:

* Rigid categories. This makes you do a lot of work up front. I am envisioning letting people just assign categories on the fly without having to pre-define them.

* What do to with my money? In YNAB, every paycheck you are a supposed to give each money a job (a category). In practice, there is a very little guidance around what to do if you have too much, or too little money. I'd like a little less flexibility here, as well as the ability to create/define rules to help make actual assignment of funds more automated. ( I have some ideas about this).

* Its very common to budget intermittently. But you can come back to your budget after a month and have 100s of transactions to go through, your categories are all underfunded, and you don't know what to do, so you click "Make a Fresh Start". I also have idea around this

* Reports: The default reports in YNAB leave a lot to be desired. Extensions like "Toolkit for YNAB" help, but good reporting should be a first-class citizen of a finance app.

* Tagging transactions. related to the above, tagging transactions will help with reporting and seeing where your money is going.

Another episode of "I don't know if I can get exec buy-in based on this name". Like the idea of it though.
Some people use the word "proprietary" to mean "different" or "nonstandard" rather than "is someone else's property and costs money to use". It's a weird bit of semantic drift.
Wow, I wonder if topological materials exist for heat? It would be cool to have a super efficient heat exchange or deliver heat to a distant source...
That may be your experience, but it does not reflect mine. My personal experience on the subject is working about a year at a modest municipal public library around 2005-2006 as their part-time IT administrator. It was around the time those librarians from New England sued the FBI over the PATRIOT Act, because that story broke while I was there. I'm basing my claim on my interactions on how those librarians tried to operate, and on how the other librarians at the nearby colleges seemed to operate. They were very concerned with privacy and openness exhibited by the Ranganathan laws of library science. Honestly, if you're confused by what I meant by privacy and openness I kind of question your claim. They had that "every book a reader/every reader a book" stuff up everywhere. Maybe there's been a generational shift.

The neighboring libraries they worked with were mostly community colleges or small regional universities, so I imagine they were likely not nearly as concerned with the prestige of their archives as an Ivy would be. My limited interactions with them didn't seem much different. It wouldn't surprise me if the more prestigious libraries were more politicized, however.

The point, however, was to discuss the ideals, and not the reality. I should think that was obvious given that MIT's commitment is similarly about ideals.
This resonated so much with me. I've tried to force the issue many times - sleep patterns (early to bed; early to rise), diet, exercise, etc. but early morning will never be natural to me. My brain works best late at night and always will. It's partly lack of distraction, I'm sure, but I at night when it's dark outside I feel more content, more relaxed, which somewhat paradoxically allows me to work more efficiently/creatively.

FWIW, if we're trying to maximize safety, then violating speed limits is often a must.

If the speed limit is 60 mph, but everybody is going 75 mph, then the safest speed for you as an individual is going to be 75 mph. Otherwise, you're a rolling road block, likely to get rear-ended, forcing tons of cars to change lanes to get around you.
To be fair, road rage shootings on highways have been trending up. There’s some LA drivers I wouldn’t want to upset either.

I wish them the best, but getting two of the most complicated languages available today with widely different semantics talking to each other is going to be a tall order.

I wish they'd start by standardizing something equivalent to "extern C" in Swift, so other languages can consume (wrapped) Swift libraries without having to implement support for the rather complicated Swift ABI.
