Back in the days of the growing spread of mobile comms, there was a convenience of email-SMS gateways. One could send an email, which would then be delivered as SMS messages onto the mobile.

If that's the case for you, then at least the delivery to your mobile may be simplified. Your remote systems may just schedule the sending/forwarding of the whatever textual data via email corresp. to your mobile address.

As for the reverse direction, there needs to be some gateway on your remote end to proces the incoming SMS and forward these correspondingly.

I went to the ballot and saw someone running for Senator who I had never heard of, against other people who I had never heard of

And the other Senator ran unopposed for a party different from my Presidential ticket pick, but not like that matters because my state is too populated for my vote to have the same weight, or any weight, in the outcome

Tell me again why my state chose anything?

Standard time in June means the sun comes up at 4AM. I prefer DST, but either way let's just stop fiddling with the clocks. Maybe we could split the difference and just fall back 1/2 an hour this Fall? (and then just hold it there)

One may also observe that India is primarily Hindu, while Tibet is primarily Buddhist, which is an offshoot of Hinduism. Present day China is communist atheist, which has a lot less in common with Buddhism than Hinduism does.

> Honestly, one of the biggest things that drives me away from Go isn't the lack of features, it's this condescending attitude that comes from so many people who espouse Go.

I could say the same about many of Go's critics, but I don't because that wouldn't be constructive. Rather than taking undue offense at my comment, why not articulate a counterexample to prove that there are valid reasons why a person (rather than a use case) might require generics?

> If you wanted to be persuasive or helpful, you could try explaining what the other approaches to work around lacking generics might be, rather than just insulting people for being unable to figure out on their own how to avoid copy/paste spamming their codebase.

Because these are already well-understood and have been debated to death. Instead of .map().filter().flat_map().reduce() you use a simple for loop. Instead of `LinkedList<ItemType>` you use `type List struct { Item ItemType; Next List }`. The thing that we generally aren't* agreed on is whether those extra characters are actually the end of the world versus the benefits associated with simpler, more concrete, more standard code.

Anyway, I wasn't "insulting" anyone, I was describing Go critics' objections in roughly their own terms (i.e., in so many conversations I've had with Go critics esp over generics, the conversation eventually terminates at some variation of "Go forces me to think about programming differently than I'm used to").
And the stupidest of all: defer is function-scoped, not block.
Every school I've attended opened its doors before classes started. This has other benefits like making sure kids have access to breakfast.

It also varies by where you're located in a time zone and what latitude you are at. Somewhere like Boston, you basically have dark at both ends of the day in the winter no matter how you move things around. And it's also pretty light in the morning and light until quite far into the evening in winter. Boston should really be in Atlantic time based on longitude but it doesn't make sense to be in a different time zone than the rest of the East Coast.

I've completely given up any kind of hope for iOS.

I hoped for years iOS would do reasonable things like allowing side loading or multitasking or push notifications. Apple knows these things would improve the platform, they don't do them because it would cut into their profits. If these features are ever added to the platform they will be handicapped in some way that makes them almost useless.
everything has negative externalities.
It also makes the timezone differences vary as different zones switch on different dates. Hopefully the whole world will come to their senses and we get rid of the changes globally so that timezone differences will be fixed.
Ah yes, Eastern Dtime Tzone.

Everyone will not be happy no matter what happens here. A compromise might be to switch to regular time all the time and then encourage businesses to allow employees to optionally come in an hour earlier. A really mild form of flex time...
The relevant legislation is on the surface about CP, but if you read the fine print it includes anything that:

d) Promotes criminal acts or acts of terrorism; or

e) Represents any particular class of the public as inherently inferior as a result of a characteristic of members of that class being a characteristic that is a prohibited ground of discrimination specified in the Human Rights Act 1993.

So yes, non-CP content is punishable by 14 years in prison if it's against the "regime". What Russia is doing is hardly unprecedented.

I think you're wrong. They really are re-defining e.g. EST to be the current DST but without yearly DST change.
The best is when you literally ask to see the car / apartment.

"I'm in the military deployed / in Africa doing charity work."

99% of scams can be avoided by seeing it in person. That said, you can definitely look for apartments online, but just go out and see it first. With both apartments and cars, I found it significantly easier to just deal with and established company. Individuals tend to be super sketchy even when they don't want to be, for example, when I was looking for a used car once I had a guy try to sell me a vehicle that hadn't been legally registered in like 10 years.

I was on a thread here the other day and there was some person talking about how you can get a rust bucket for cheap, when you try to get a cheap car. You'll have so many people trying to rip you off. It's ridiculous. People who don't legally own the car in the first place, people who don't actually have the title to the car.

Then again, I've had friends tell me that you don't need a license to drive, you don't need to register your car, and you don't need any insurance.

A significant amount of America just lives like that
Adjust gradually how? Between ADHD, anxiety, depression, mania, and medication side-effects, my bedtime can vary by as much as 2 hours.

By the end of the day any willpower I started the day with is usually gone, so going to bed at the same time each day just can't happen with any regularity. I have settle for a 90 minute window.

What I can't handle is my window shifting by 60 minutes, especially when the sunlight changes. Suddenly, it's bright 60 minutes after the sun should have set and everything gets out of balance.
> The US for the most part gave up exporting things of value over the last 30 years.

Nonsense. In inflation adjusted dollars, the US exported twice as much in 2021 as from 1991.

Interesting when I clicked the link they offered a 20% discount. Two minutes later I get an email offering a 30% discount.

I used Network Solutions before moving to Google Domains and I will take no customer support over bad customer support any day. With network solutions, domains were over priced. To get the real price, you had to call customer service and ask for a lower price.
This is a pretty thorough intro to (mostly) Chinese tea, which seems fair to me since tea originated in China. Though I can see a few details to quibble over (e.g., some Taiwanese oolongs are barely oxidized, ~5% for Baozhongs sometimes[1]). Personally as much as I like white, green, and black teas, I think oolongs have the most variation, since they can have a mix of the characteristics of the other types. But I drink plenty of them all.

> This vulnerability affects parsing maliciously crafted certificates, so it will mostly affect clients.

Actually, it is the opposite.

You seem to be unaware of the fact that servers do receive certificates from the clients which are then parsed.

Which is already mentioned in the advisory document:

"Thus vulnerable situations include:

- TLS clients consuming server certificates
- TLS servers consuming client certificates <---- here
- Hosting providers taking certificates or private keys from customers
- Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from subscribers
- Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters"
That is a silly position. "Literally" has become an intensifier, like so many other words in the English language. It is no different from "truly" or "verily" or "really", and the path it took from its literal meaning to its intensifier status is identical.
FTFY:

I tried starting to adjust it gradually. I changed my sleep time by just a couple of minutes every day in the start of February, and I didn't even notice it.

Tight regulations is the solution and is needed on the crypto space.

The privacy tokens will be first, Monero, ZCash, etc, they will be completely banned and made illegal due to this, (why does Coinbase still not allow these tokens?)

Next, we need to crackdown tighter on the exchange ramps, we only have to look at the Tether fraud [0] that is happening, then the crackdown will begin on the whole space.

Then the crash will happen from there and the fallout would be terrible for people who bought these now worthless casino chips. So maybe that crypto will still exist but way less people will use them, especially the privacy ones.

Original text for the zones: http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:15%20section:2...

Bill amending that law: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/69/t...

It's redefining the offsets from UTC for the zones, for standard time. And also repeals all of 15 USC 260a http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:15%20section:2... a.k.a. Section 3 of the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Ergo, the 'D' in all the time zones goes away.
This is a great idea! Instead of just working from 8 to 4 to leave an hour of daylight after work, let's instead tilt all the clocks so that noon is at 11am.

Why stop with the clocks?

Today I announce my genius proposal Wallet Saving Prices.

Everyone wants more money left over after they buy something, so the obvious way to achieve that is just slide all the numbering systems left by one.

Henceforth all prices shall be written on a scale that starts at -1 instead of 0. If a thing cost $4 yesterday, it now costs the same 4 dollars, but the price is written as $3. This will give everyone more money!
Hm, also some features (e.g. USB C/3.1 headers) were only available on high-end gaming MoBos for quite a long time, making the whole build power-hungry and needlessly fragile.

Before that, MoBo manufacturers even made extensive use of additional chips for networking, USB, mora SATA ports, RAID and what not, which could make the whole system more complicated/fragile (all the additional drivers!).

I nowadays try to avoid that and aim for boards close to "reference" (whatever the chipset offers out of the box).
If you have the flexibility with your life to do this, why adjust at all? Just keep your routine the same and get up an hour earlier (clock time) when everyone else is on DST.
Ask HN: How would you, a solo dev/small team, make a scalable web app in 2022?
Title says it all, how would you make a scalable web application in 2022 as a solo/small team of devs? To limit the problem space, how about something that can handle CRUD operations for an internet T-shirt store getting 1000-100000 simultaneous visitors? I'm certainly open to learning clever ways to architect a mini-Youtube if that's somehow possible though.

Perhaps to make advice easier, I've played around with things like Firebase and Meteor, did a kubernetes tutorial or two, deployed small toy apps on AWS/GCP, as well as have some familiarity with ReactJS/HTML/CSS (I'm trying to get into gatsby but we'll leave that aside), Docker, and the Django/DRF framework. The issue is I don't really know how to integrate them into a "scalable" or "highly available" web application, or even a methodology for comparing scalability for one approach vs another. I also understand CI/CD pipelines are a part of the typical microservices architecture, but would they even make sense for a solo dev vs trying to get a monolith running? Given "scalable" can mean a lot of different things, I'm entirely fine with more open ended answers about focusing on things that will matter more than sheer connections handled and dynamic content served, so please don't feel limited to answering in as few steps as possible if you think there are other insights about better practices/design patterns that should be mentioned.

So for extra context: I'll have a bit of free time in the next couple months to just sketch out ideas and try things (probably the last time for awhile), but I'm genuinely curious how the real software development practitioners would approach an open ended task like this. Unfortunately they weren't exactly offering a class on how to make scalable web apps (probably because there's thousands of different ways) during my pretty conventional college CS program, ya know?
I'm not sure how you plan to solve this. Even if a school bus came to every kids front door the parent would still need to be there to ensure the kid gets on. If both parents need to be somewhere for work the bus needs to show up early enough to give them time to commute.
That's regional though. Where I live, work generally starts at 8.

I am sure after learning this all Americans will take to the streets and after a massive protest the government will defund CIA and prosecute everyone responsible for the related crimes. Right?

And if that doesn't happen, European companies will cancel American accounts, IKEA will close shop here, GOG will refuse to sell games in US, etc, etc. Right?

Because, as I've learned on HN in the last two weeks, all citizens are responsible for what their government is doing, regardless of their knowledge or level of support for the practice.
Just out of curiosity, where are you located that you've had that experience? It's not a mirror-image of mine, but it's fairly close. I'm in El Paso, TX (US).

In my area, there are almost no professionals of any field, let alone software engineering. You've got doctors and lawyers, but that's about it. So language barriers aside (most speak English and Spanish here but you do run into a fair amount of Spanish-only), the biggest hurdle I run into relating to people - not even dating, just general day-to-day stuff - is education and IQ. Most are just very, very poorly educated at best. And yeah there's a lot of addiction to vapid pop-culture nonsense as well, which presents an immediate barrier to me because...ugh, no thanks. But ultimately, most people just have a lackluster ability to grasp even the most basic of things (I had to explain who the Romans were once, I kid you not).

Not saying they're all stupid or anything, far from it. I think it's a socioeconomic problem, caused by generational poverty being a barrier to higher education. There's a university here (UTEP), but it's way out of reach for easily 80-90% of people born and raised locally. Those who do go there leave the area almost immediately (and I can't blame them, I will too, and soon).

Damn shame, too. There are some really nice, big-hearted folks in this town and they deserve a fair shake.
Zfs send/recv sends the blocks as written to the original filesystem (which is why it can be so fast, it doesn’t have to ‘understand’ what it happening or defragment things to read like reading a file does), but that also means undoing or applying dedup won’t work correctly unless it’s screwing with things you probably don’t want it too.

One issue I had is that due to what I eventually tracked down as power issues, I had some corrupted data written to disk under my zfs pool (at the media write later), and I had dedup on.

So dedup, unfortunately, actually made it REALLY suck to fix, because I couldn’t even copy a new version of the file to the same pool! It kept nuking the duplication, and keep the old bad data and I then couldn’t read the copy. :s

It even did this after I deleted everything, because prune couldn’t remove the bad underlying entries because it was having a media failure.

So delete files, scrub, put new files on resulted in them having the exact same failure.

When I nuked the pool and recreated it, it was all fine though.

So yeah, be careful with dedup.
If you don’t like being told what to do, boy do I have bad news about PhDs for you...
Not necessarily. Most of the school stadiums near me are closed during school hours. After school they are used by various teams until well after dark. Then, on weekends, they are usually rented out to local athletic leagues (youth and adult) unless the school teams need them.

They are largely unavailable to the general public unless they are willing to pay for exclusive use.
Back in '08 when the US dates of DST changed, I was working on a Java-based enterprise software product with a relatively large install base. It suddenly became known to a lot of customers that timezone tables are part of the JRE, and simply updating the OS wasn't enough to get proper time calculations in Java. It was a very stressful time getting customers with many different versions of Java across dozens of platforms properly updated. A lot of customers were running ancient versions of Java that were well past EOL, but we still helped them out.

Needless to say, I'm very happy this might finally happen. I do not, however, envy whoever is now supporting that software. I'm sure there are folks that haven't touched their systems since the last DST change.
Haha, one of my favorites too. Another one is Driver License.
I don’t know, I have seen my fair share of indecipherable for loops depending on some side effect shared by two-three loops, where you don’t even stand a chance to understand it.
> you got rid of the people you didn't actually want to get rid of

And to add salt to the wound you will end up retaining those who are good at surviving such layoffs by doing some optical work. It's the worst of all the worlds.

It should also be pointed out that people are not plug-and-play parts of a machinery. They carry domain knowledge, context (Chesterton's fence), intra-company network they have painstakingly built and such intangible value. Besides, layoff doesn't mean the work disappears. It gets distributed, often unevenly, among existing workforce. I've seen it first hand and the aftereffects are just terrible.
At the company I work for we actually hard-delete all user/tenant data, when requested. The column you mention is used for soft-deletion, which is a transient state. Even when not explicitly requested by the customer, we still hard-delete soft-deleted data that has been stale for at least X months (6?).
So yeah, some companies really delete customer data, by request or by policy.
Who cares what time the clock says? I don't care if they do permanent DST or permanent not-DST; just stop with the twice a year changing!

So, I'm super happy about this.
These boolean arrangements ("flipping") fail when the number of watchers is high and the interval is small. The toggle can switch twice while you're queued to be run again, and then all bets are off, because it looks to you like nothing has happened. Your messaging rate can only be half of the frequency guaranteed by the kernel for waking every thread. And many OSes offer no ironclad guarantee.
