My email goes through K9 on Android first (5.6, the next version broke this workflow and despised about half of its users. Look for k9 overview screen to appreciate the drama and look at the distribution of the stars of the app.) I use K9 to look at the titles of the messages I get on my POP3 accounts. I don't remove the messages from the servers. I disable notifications and polling. I have to manually check my accounts. This is not to be distracted.

Really urgent matters ring my phone. Customers reach me on slack (only on desktop.) IMs are for real time communication. Email is for low priority communication. I check it a few times per day, less than five. I read immediately the important messages and I reply from there, automatically BCC to me. I delete the cruft (the notifications I don't have to archive, invites to events I won't go to, etc.) For many messages the title is the only important signal.

Later on, not every day, I download mail on my laptop with Thunderbird. This deletes email from the POP3 servers so it makes it unavailable to the phone. Messages are organized into a few hundred of folders, either by sender or project. Filters do it (create it once, use forever.)

This means that I already read the email, at least its title, and I rarely have to read it again on the computer. I got thousands of unread messages there and I have read only the title of many of them, only on the phone. I've got messages dating back to 1994.

Of course I'm an outlier (but consider how many people want the old K9 back) and of course predicting how people use stuff is very hard. It would be nice to have an IMAP server over my Thunderbird folder to look at every message from my phone. It's been 10 years since I told me that maybe I should self host one and I never did it, so it's probably not very important though.
Germany is especially linked to Russian gas for their electricity production, as they shut down all of their nuclear plants in some kind of attempt to be "more green" or something.
"I really don't understand the interest for psychedelic analogs."

Many people are still afraid of psychedelics... that includes both the people who've never tried them and don't know much about them, and those that tried them and maybe had bad trips.

There's also something to be said for being able to go about your normal day without having a full-blown psychedelic trip, or even any psychedelic effects to distract you from what you have to do that day.

It's also a lot easier to get approval for non-psychedelic drugs which more closely fit the profiles of other non-scheduled prescription drugs. There's a lot less political opposition to them too, and studies in to them are a lot easier to find funding for, etc...

What you're missing is that for much of enterprise software before Airflow, everything was steaming rubbish.

Airflow is... not amazing. But by the standards of horrible enterprise software we've all been subjected to, it's not that bad.

If you're complaining about Airflow, wait for the day you're forced to use an internally built database client.

That's Afghanistan.

Our proprietary AWS wrapper takes 45 damn minutes on a good day to allocate a VM. The AMI is built in two minutes. TWO.

I'm sure in 5 years Dagster and Prefect will have improved gradually in lots of incremental ways. For now Airflow is pretty solid.

This is fascinating, as far as pushing the creative boundaries of how to accomplish IR with neural networks, and showing the potential headroom that's available.

It seems wildly impracticable to productionize at the moment (excepting Google, perhaps). If I'm not misunderstanding, the index is actually built by training a neural network (they use networks ranging from 250M-11B parameters, i.e. 500MB-22GB in size). Still, for an important collection of documents, this might be how it's done in a few years.

Thank you for the suggestion. However I am close to finishing all the game mechanics, just on a single computer (the game has no secret knowledge so it playable on a single computer or, at worst, via screen sharing). Also I'm implementing it in Scala.js with Indigo [1], and part of the reason for the project is to have an excuse to learn Indigo, so i wouldn't change the technical stack.

Thank you, though. It seems like a nice platform!

> Well first, you took a well-meaning article discussing how HN can be toxic.

You can look at the article as an attack on a forum's reputation, and consequently on their users, by fabricating baseless blanket accusations of being a toxic community, when in truth at most it just shows people disagreeing or pointing out misconceptions and factual errors.

Would we be toxic if a random troll started insisting that the sky was green and the community posted that the troll was wrong and the sky was in fact blue?
I see, thanks for the explanation. That's a neat trick!

I can confirm the AWS support responsiveness.

I've worked both with small clients (under $1k AWS spend) and big ones (monthly billing on the order of my yearly salary) and both got pretty much equal response times from their (paid) support.

The BigCo of course had a dedicated direct contact on company Slack for any issues and zoom calls with AWS staff before big launches - but anyone can get it if they spend money.

Google on the other hand seems to be completely opaque. The front page of HN seems to be the best way to get stuff resolved.

No, he means the raw unedited videos, like the ones on channel he linked. The extensively edited and cherry-picked videos are the ones shown by corporate media and partisans.
Andrew Chen has something similar here. I think his point #2 is the right way to think about this. You're not the only one who doesn't have access to friends, angels, family, etc. so what did the other people in your situation do? Do some research to see what founders did in your situation and reach out. Maybe they can intro you.

Not saying what you're doing is easy, but important to not reinvent the wheel.

I’ll repeat my comment from there:

Even worse, if one of the partners in a marriage was baptised by this priest, and the marriage was performed by the Catholic church, they may need to get re-married.

“The error also means that because baptism is the first of the sacraments, some people will need to repeat other sacraments, according to the diocese webpage for frequently asked questions.”

“According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, there are seven sacraments in the Catholic church: baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, reconciliation, anointing the sick, marriage and holy orders.”

Hi HN!

Ruurtjan here, from NsLookup.io. I've read plenty of these kinds of blog posts, and they've been a big motivator for me to take the jump. So I thought I'd share my story here as well. Thanks everyone, for giving me the confidence to give entrepreneurship a try.

I'll hang around today to answer any questions, so ask me anything :)

I've already moved most of my servers from Linode to UpCloud. I did this as the disk IO speed at UpCloud is insane and made some intensive apps measurably faster.

Very cool effort but just the first thing I tried which is a mega common search for everyone. "Denver weather."

Took a while to load, and only gave me short text of current conditions.

When I did "denver weather forecast" it gave a bit more and showed results on the right from Wolfram and others but they don't tell me anything. Wolfram is current conditions and wind tomorrow. Next one just meta description for weather underground.

It's going to snow tomorrow. That's what people are searching for.

Google gets this stuff and makes that info super visually accessible.

I really don't get the hate on their search quality. If it has gone down I haven't experienced this outside of mega spam things like recipes.

But I still experience the black magic of typing in some vague thing you are trying to remember and somehow they know what it is.

I like these very much

- Consistent language for applying colors, and utilities for modifying colors and opacity.

- Consistent widths, sizes, and breakpoints for text, borders, containers, etc.

- Consistent and concise language for media queries (breakpoints, dark mode, etc.)

And use them in my SCSS projects - copying the values into css maps and accessing them via one-letter css functions, like this:

color: c(yellow-400);

I do not like the incomprehensible class soup and don’t mind naming things so I continue using BEM and ITCSS plus a bunch of helpful SCSS mixins for breakpoints etc.

If you already know CSS and have a solid approach to organizing your code, tailwindcss is not a huge win.

You made a very good job of avoiding actually countering my argument and instead reaching for the "oh you're just a troll"
> The main thing I've noticed on HN is that having a contrarian mindset is rewarded, even in situations where it doesn't add to the conversation.

Is it really being contrarian, or supporting multiple views in intellectually stimulating discussions?

A few days ago there was a discussion on CORS where some people defended the thesis it made sites less secure, and others stepped in and defended that CORS in fact improved security. Both sides posted their rationales. Arguably neither position was right or wrong. It just depends on perspective.

A glass can be half full and half empty at the same time.

Is anyone being contrarian to point out either interpretation?
I specifically included "some willpower" because I knew someone would bring that up. Technically, if you stand your ground and go to prison for a long time (or are going to prison for a long time regardless), the money won't be seized. Similarly, if you forget your passphrase or die, the money won't be seized. Or if you have a multisig wallet setup and your accomplices don't get caught, the money won't be seized. I believe there are multiple actual instances of the FBI not being able to seize rather large Bitcoin wallets.
Very insightful thread and epitome of HN bringing out people with deep expertise on a subject.

Multiplayer video game networking is a standalone discipline in its own right. It feels like most Computer Science departments are producing candidates to work for BigTech co that are focused primarily with large scale data access/processing. But video games gets so specialized that it takes on its on form. To be more concrete, A.I./M.L. for finance is going to be different than video game A.I. Occasionally something like A* can be applied to a "real world" problem, precluding video games, but almost every video game programmer knows A*.

I'm curious, did you acquire your video game experience from working at Big Budget game, indie game, video game development school, self taught from special interest forums (if so, is there an equivalent of HN or Reddit), or a traditional CS education?
In the case of pretending to be someone else, and being found out on the first day, at least both UK and Sweden would have the probationary period exception, whereby you can be let go at a moment's notice (works both ways, either party can annul the contract). The probationary period usually lasts 3 months.

Pretty much the ONLY thing that is not a "go" during the probationary period is due to various things that fall in protected categories. I have a hard time thinking "I let someone else do my interview for me" falls under that, in almost every case.
I see it all the time when someone from such companies is doing a talk.

Yeah, my comment was confused in a way - I didn't notice they weren't using Revise.jl, but I was also talking about earlier versions of Revise.jl. Around the time that `workspace` function was retired (v0.7/1.0 times), IIRC, Revise.jl did have problems deleting methods, and that made it a big pain point in a language where method dispatch is such a central pattern. So it fell short as a replacement for workspace-deletion function, despite being suggested as one, and that frustrated me. I'm probably holding on to that negative impression for far too long though, by this point; I'll make a more wholehearted attempt at using a Revise-based workflow and see how it feels today.
That should work, given than the result doesn't have any actual input from the original data (except width of the text) and completely opaque over the actual text.
I'm talking about people that I know are at least in fatFIRE range that started life somewhere between abject poverty and burger flipper. Their income is not relevant here, and some make seven-figures today. I am in Seattle now, but it is essentially the same as Silicon Valley in that regard. Little has changed; I know young people that started on that journey quite recently that are well on their way.

Your "under 30" criterion may be your problem, that selects for a very narrow set of circumstances while excluding most actually wealthy people. Virtually no one becomes wealthy before 30. Especially if you are starting from less than zero, like people that come from true poverty. Anecdotally, they usually enter fatFIRE territory in their 40s. Until very recently, tech did not pay a typical wage where someone could fatFIRE easily. Most of the people I know did it before that was a thing, without any big exits to pad their net worth. They did it the old fashioned way.

Again, I find it pretty bizarre that people in the US think it is exceptionally rare that people born into poverty become quite wealthy. In that community, there are often many examples of people that "got out" by various means, many going on to become quite wealthy. In the tech locales, that is multiplied dramatically because it is so easy for a moderately ambitious person to make silly money. Easiest ticket to wealth for a poor person ever, if they are willing to put in the effort.
I mentioned exploitive in response to "Moderators' time is free". Which I feel like is an exploitive view. I don't think being a volunteer means you are exploited, but I think someone not valuing their time is almost the definition of it to me.

I think moderators time is extremely expensive. They could be doing one million other things with that time and getting paid for it. They could actually be doing the EXACT SAME thing and getting paid for it if they worked for a Reddit/Facebook/StackOverflow or were a community manager for a brand.
Your argument in a nutshell: "But I can steal it easily, why do I pay?"

I think that's one of the reasons I won't be writing a technical book.
Even when you're a local the politics largely don't even matter that much for certain countries like China.
since smart contracts are turing complete, you could easily write a "dead mans switch" contract that requires check in, say, every 30 days.

It doesn’t make it any less interesting. His entire show isn’t literally lies. But of course, everything should be taken with a heavy grain of salt.

You can have security issues with non escaped ASCII too, so you probably want to fix the tools and educate people about other languages and cultures (or even if you just educate them to be capitalists they would understand that selling their iDevice or CoolApp to make cash would require it to work with non english , so unicode means more money not we tolerate your language because we are too nice)
It's mostly written in C++, and the bulk of the effort which made this possible should probably be credited to Qt: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_WebAssembly
LibreOffice is almost entirely C++, except that there are some extensions written in Java (and some written in python)

I say almost, because we still have some QA code used for unit tests that is Java.
A work around is to add a safari extension like "Keyword Search" and associate a key word to your search. Its nothing like setting a default search engine for a normal user, but atleast there is a way for the slightly more technical user.

Though, I couldn't add a keyword to your site in firefox with its "Add a keyword" feature. Might be due to the javascript calling some url behind the screen.
