After reviewing all my options I think I’m personally going to set up Amazon SES as SMTP sender for my personal email when I move off gmail. Use hetzner dedicated server for receiving email, along with a raspberry pi/home lab server in my house over fiber (failover between them).

Deliverability concerns have me scared to use anything that’s not a proven strong success for outgoing mail and SES seems very affordable for sent emails, especially if it’s not receiving them.

What will they do? Let their economy run, or let people freeze? What would be their real limit?

The server will be on campus internet, so they can't forward anything.
It doesn't have to be game time, as the article says it could be time since level or some other trigger. It's basically about any time based counter you need for a time based effect, such as a predefined cyclical wind effect on trees or waves in water. The article also explains why it has to be precise, looping effects will behave oddly if the loop is not occurring precisely. Splitting the number into a large part and a precise part doesn't actually solve for anything, it just moves the problem into "how do I make arbitrary effects precisely loop based on the 2 parts of the time" instead of "how do I make arbitrary effects precisely loop based on the time".

This is really nice! Congrats!

I once started building as a side project something similar but focused on querying cloud resources (like S3 buckets, ec2s, etc... discovering the biggest file from a bucket was trivial with this). I abandoned the project but someone else built a startup on the same concept - even the name was the same: cloudquery.

I built it using the multicorn [1] postgres extension and it is deligthful of how easy it to get something simple running.

By "resources" in this case I was referring to storage space. I could have written my comment more clearly, sorry. I do really like FLAC for saving space, and I hate websites that have 20+ seconds of interaction latency.

Edit: Of course websites being slow has nothing to do with storage space, but it has everything to do with wasting resources – whether that's storage space or CPU cycles.

> "profoundly deaf" is essentially meaningless and bad style

"Profoundly deaf" is not meaningless, nor is it bad style. It is in fact a medical diagnosis. Deafness exists on a continuum, and as deafness is measured "profoundly" is the most deaf you can be.
Not the businessman, really; the _normal_ man. If we were back in the Victorian age, it's likely that you and I would be doomed to labor every day for meager sustenance, supporting the occasional noble and their leisure.
What time do you go to bed? Assuming 8 hours of sleep for proper rest, you'd have to go around 7 pm?
If App sizes go down, its a win for Apple as well:

1. Faster update downloaded to devices compared to before & to Google/Android. That's a big PR win.

2. Most badly behaving apps have tons of unnecessary process & their binaries. Also storage is taken up by UI assets. If these are streamlined & reusable, the footprint goes down. That means less RAM can still do fine.
The lower range still gives some information and will probably be used as an indication of what the company is at least willing to pay.

If they put it way lower than their actual budget, it will scare away the candidates they are targeting.
This was still essentially the case at my university ~3 years ago (and likely still is). There was a firewall by default, but it was a simple form to fill out to have it disabled.
I spent the last ten years of my career building iOS apps, all but one you would likely known at the time, and whoever in charge of this app is an idiot. Shipping an app to the general public with symbols intact? Really? If they didn't know/didn't care, it tells me no one there likely cared about any other quality issue either. It's highly likely that any relevant lead person probably screamed about this daily, but higher ups don't give a shit.

At my last job our legal team would have had a cow shipping labels. Our apps are gleaned by blogs looking for scoops on upcoming features.

I once interviewed at a major airline (not United) and at the time they had outsourced their entire app and web to some foreign companies, including any and all oversight. Their app was a POS and they had hired someone to write a new one -- the same company. Now they had no idea why it was so delayed so they wanted to hire someone to embed in the other company to spy on what was going on. Of course I wanted nothing to do with this travesty. This was years ago, no idea what happened.

You'd be amazed at how pathetic mobile development can be even at big companies. Mobile doesn't have to be hard, but if management tries hard enough, can make crap at scale.
It's likely to also be one of the first apps I decide to uninstall when my phone's storage becomes somewhat limited.
You've posted several comments in this thread alone linking to your product, and it seems that the majority of your posts have been doing this for quite a while now. I'm sure it's excellent work, but can you please stop doing this?

It's fine to link to your own work occasionally, when it's particularly relevant, as part of a diverse mix of posts on unrelated things*. It's not ok to use HN primarily for promotion. See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:
"Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."

When people do that we eventually start penalizing their accounts and sites, or in egregious cases, banning them. You're a good HN user, but this is still excessive. You're crossing the line at which the community starts to think of the word 'spam', and we inevitably start getting emails about it.

* I do get that your work is particularly relevant in a thread like this. What's missing is the 'diverse mix of posts on unrelated things'. In such a context, posting repeatedly about your own stuff starts to come across the wrong way.

As a frequent and mostly non-loyal flier, I can say despite all its faults the United app is far and away the best airline app in the US: fast, easy to navigate, powerful, useful and often pleasantly surprising. American is the only other app that compares, I can't stand to use any other airlines' apps.
> Is it difficult to find without specialist knowledge?

It's not _easy_ to find but I don't think that's the problem.

There are a few problem that expertise probably solves.

There are often exceptions throughout such laws so it's less simple to say what the law covers than it is to give an example and test if the law covers it.

There is often a lot of seemingly subjective legalese in law that is actually an objective term. Like, "may", "can", "should" that has to be understood.

Then there is language that is actually subjective that laypeople often get wrong because they push those words to extremes to create an absurd example. It's unclear to a lot of people if it's legally okay to do that. Most of the time, that's what a judge is for and that's why different judges give different interpretations. Lay people have a hard time defining the edges off "(practically) all judges would interpret this way" and "(practically) no judges would interpret that way".
And the whole 9front weights less than those apps.

When I was a Windows user, a video player install of more than 80MB would be slightly bloated.

Today my OpenBSD install uses less than 3GB and it has far more stuff than a phone install.

Golang binaries are like 5-15x the size of a dinamically linked C binary, yes, but at least they provide everything and run everywhere.

> but depending on the financial moves you make (selling stocks, rolling over a 401k, etc) you may need to set aside money throughout the year to pay the bill.

That would be true if you could time travel to 2008. In 2022 you have to compete with what already exists, not with how what already exists was created. There are no other options for cloning a PoW blockchain. You would not easily get "others to do this for you" to the same degree that bitcoin already has.

I generally agree with you though that cloning a PoS blockchain is easy in this regard, those ones also are protected by network effects.
To me this is a near-certain failure in waiting, and here's why:

+ Limited information, bad comparisons (that "simulated" text rendering image is atrocious, where are the actual pulled from device and pulled from the OS images)

+ Very vague presentation, zero background on team members. Who are you? What have you engineered? What have you shipped?

+ Godot dependency does not inspire confidence, this is an opensource game engine geared for homebrew and indie developers. One would expect you'd need a lot more from the graphical foundation (latency, performance) since you're trying to do something that's never been done to a satisfactory degree before.

+ Totally subjective, but my spider sense is going crazy. The overall impression I get is that of a project driven by amateurs. If you didn't have some actual code on GitHub, I'd totally see this as a scam.

Good luck but given how many projects with orders of magnitude better technical teams have crashed and burned, I won't be jumping on this ship. 3000$ is a lot to ask and you'd need to put a lot more on the "can they pull it off?" balancing scales than wishful thinking.

Guess it depends on your employer. Many where I am will fire you depending on your performance and very hastily so. They’ll also try to make your life miserable along the way.
I agree, though will point out that one other factor in go’s favor besides fast compiles is relatively easy cross-compiling to other architectures.
At least back when it came out, that was a noticeable feature to folks evaluating it.

But yeah it seems to be more of a competitor vs Python and Ruby than vs Rust.

Perhaps not but everyone saying this is what kills accessibility for those who need it. This is the same argument made by companies to not support deaf/blind people.

Springtime was the season the dinosaurs died
TL;DR Sturgeon fins grow bone similarly to tree rings - in annual layers. By studying the outermost layer of many samples found on the K-Pg boundary they were able to deduce that they all died in spring.

Corroborating evidence is found from some other fish exhibit seasonal variation in their C13/C12 ratios due to food availability.
Meta on building the metaverse
Hardly a nitpick. It undermines the point of the article.
Word about salaries gets around via the employee rumor mill. The new highly paid employee will tell their co-workers over drinks, or accidentally leave a pay stub on their desk, or someone in HR gossips with their friends. Trying to keep secrets never works when there are no real penalties to prevent it.

In the US at least, employees are explicitly allowed by federal labor law to discuss compensation with each other. Employers generally can't retaliate against them for doing so (although like all labor laws that one is occasionally broken).
Absolutely! It's something I'll discuss with the team. Thanks for raising it :)
I'm also very interested in chording keyboards, though never tried one yet - but planning to try building a Chordite DIY prototype Some Day. Also thus interested in any AR / video passthrough features (and their speed), esp. from an angle of whether the VR set would be usable e.g. while walking...?

One could argue that maybe the developers of the app were optimizing for the right things. Usability, performance, etc., as opposed to disk space.
Are you referring to the paragraph "The benefits of plain language aren’t limited to universally challenging texts like legal documents and tax forms. Even everyday writing, like news articles, can still pose a barrier for some readers."?

The included alternate plain writing sentence reads "Some kinds of writing are hard for everyone to read, like tax forms. But everyday writing, like the news, can be hard to read too." without any mention of "barrier".

Are you aware that the article is also written in the simpler style, as well? You can click on the paragraphs to toggle them.
Well, that's... embarrassing. Indeed I did! I didn't notice the switch, will try it now.

Can't use these headsets outdoors because the sun will destroy the screens (powerful magnifying lens aiming right at the screen). In fact, you have to be careful indoors as well.

These devices need a simple shutter that covers the displays automatically when it's not pressed against your face. This would solve the problem.
It’s not a law about compensation it’s a law about salary as far as I know. So total compensation is salary plus bonuses in that scenario.

That seems like a very self-defeating attitude; sure, maybe your pay isn't at FAANG levels, but maybe something else about your company (less demanding hours, better benefits, generous vacation, tuition assistance, better business practices, better development practices, etc.) will attract a candidate. Maybe they're someone transitioning out of a different field but they have the skills you need (I'm self-taught and worked as a mechanical engineer before I was hired as a developer, for example).

You don't have to compete on pay to attract good talent, but refusing to compete on the least amount of time wasted will only attract people with a certain set of life circumstances that have no bearing on their skillset.
Ah yes, Oracle is definitely the kind of company that will honor a promise like that. /s

> The cladding can not stop any water... The fact that the cladding does help in blocking rain...

Clearly you are using some words differently than I do, but it is not clear to me which ones.

>...blocking rain is just a nice bonus to its primary function.

In our house and our neighbor's houses, blocking rainwater is its primary function - we do not live in a desert.

> Or if you have shingles on your roof that leak (or get blown off in a storm), they can still block UV, but there will be dripping. And that's why you want the control layer(s) further in.

And that is when you need to fix your roof, regardless of what is underneath.

In your replies here, you seem to be trying to turn this into a discussion about water vapor, but I have made it very clear that a) my questions are about what the author has to say about rain and water, and b) the author himself makes a distinction between water and vapor control.

Tellingly, you have nothing to say about this quote from the article:

"Figure 2: "The Perfect Roof"—The perfect roof is sometime referred to as an “inverted roof” since the rainwater control layer is under the insulation and ballast." [my emphasis.]

The common wisdom when I last looked into this was that apache uses more CPU, especially under load. Naturally, I want to use the httpd that's most efficient on CPU since it's a finite resource, I'm running several different applications on that box, and you never know when one of your side projects is going to meet the HN hug of death.
No, unless combined with WebUSB trickery, and such an attack has been possible in the past. However, browsers currently implement blocklists of HIDs and other USB types from working with WebUSB.

EU Data Act: Commission proposes measures for a fair and innovative data economy
Honestly, I'm just looking for something I can run Wireguard on to proxy my traffic. It doesn't matter if it's ARM or not, what really matters is the public IP (IPv6 would be super cool) and lots of bandwidth.
There's a couple of things that make Go feel lower level than Java. The first is having access to pointers and the manipulation that brings. Even though there isn't pointer arithmetic, needing to think about referencing and dereferencing structs is lower level than Java, which doesn't provide this in the language at all and forces all objects to be pointer-heavy references of references (apart from primitives).

The other thing is that by not having a VM, a lot of usual Go performance optimizations end up being "closer to the metal." E.g. optimizing struct alignment is a fairly pedestrian Go performance optimization. On the other hand, if you rely on guarantees of how the Hotspot JVM (as opposed to other JVMs) lays things out in memory, that's considered pretty deep hacking in Java.
Being able to explain something (clearly) to someone else is a great way to measure your own understanding. The more complete your understanding, the better your ability to communicate it.

(Yes, there are exceptions and outliers.)
Thanks for that as I thought I wrote "front foot" but I see that I didn't.
Been thinking about this sort of thing for awhile, your vision for how this should work is so much better than mine was.

One of the ideas I kicked around was “materialize-on-read” - when a query comes in but the underlying data is stale, refresh the views first then serve the query.

I’m wondering how much state you plan to put into the Hydra layer or if you plan to keep it mostly a router.
The Tanis site is one of the most interesting fossil sites in the world. It contains evidence of the Chicxulub impact (K-T boundary [now called K/Pg boundary], end of the dinosaurs) from 65 million years ago. It contains fossils believed to be from the day of the impact. There are well preserved fossils from multiple animal-types (fish, dinos, dino eggs, marine reptiles). And also spherules (little round balls of melted rock) from the actual impact that somehow made their way there from what is now Mexico.

I live a couple hours away from the Tanis site. And I have my summers off. If anyone connected with any of the digs needs someone with my skills, and can give me pointers on how I can get involved, I'd appreciate it. My email is in my profile. I can code (in order of preference) SQL, JS, PHP, R, Python. I have a large house within 2 hours of Tanis (to accommodate guests), and a 4-by-4. A great interest of mine is information storage and fast retrieval (so... databases). I can photograph. But I really want to get my hands dirty in a dig.
