I signed up for Fastmail only 9 years ago, and my email started being sent to spam just this week.
these watches are gorgeous, but so are "real" omega watches.

unpopular opinion but crossing over these brands only makes sense if you think youre capable of targeting a lower income customer without risk of damaging your existing luxury brand, or if your existing luxury brand is floundering.

I suspect its the latter, and i suspect its confirmation that the last decade of rennaisance for Rolex is starting to impact the bottom line at Swatch. younger customers are going to gravitate to a smart watch, older customers are going to look for the pedigree of the movement and its lineage so where does this even fit?

Bioceramics and bioglasses are ceramic materials that are biocompatible, full stop. throwing this in is just a buzzword Swatch hopes its customer wont take the time to investigate too thoroughly. theres no real reason to have it on a timepiece.

call me a cynic, but mark my words...in 10 years time youll see the same phenomenon with these watches as you saw with Timex. repair shops wont touch them, and they exist as a valueless testament to disposable faux luxury.

My logic was here that WASM was created/designed by companies that do maintain browsers - Mozilla Microsoft Google Apple and it is marketed as

"WebAssembly describes a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that may even be implemented inside existing JavaScript virtual machines. When embedded in the web, WebAssembly will enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser."

Basically I felt like it was designed with security in mind and I do wonder whether it'd prevent attacks like this
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was very excited for it after Racing the Beam and I AM ERROR, but the negative tone made me put it down almost immediately.
Wish I had heard about this sooner. Are they going to produce more or is this it?
I don’t get the whole “anti-echo chamber” thing. We select people to be friends we generally like and agree with. We often don’t associate with people we don’t like or disagree with. Why should social media be some totally egalitarian social exposure? That’s literally never been the case ever. We read what we want to read. We talk to who we want to talk to. I’m not going to be guilted into listening to some jerk who thinks gay people shouldn’t marry and belong in hell. I don’t want to share a beer with them, I would never invite them to dinner in my home, so why should I have to deal with them living rent free in my mind because I saw some ignorant post on social media?

I have plenty of work colleagues and family I disagree with, I read sources I don’t always love. I get plenty of exposure to other ways of thinking and ideas. Do I think people can go too far and literally only surround themselves with “yes men” socially? Sure. But come on. How many of us actually spend equal time with people we both agree and disagree ideologically with?`
The land was taken from the people who lived there and given to another group, the receiving group then made the original inhabitants at best 2nd class citizens.

They may not have “taken” the land, but they happily received it knowing it had been robbed from the inhabitants. They could have tried to make things right, but instead the Israeli government went all in on apartheid and right wing and religious extremism. The Israeli government now spends considerable amounts of money doing to Palestinians what they accuse other countries of doing to Jews.

It’s also well established that knowingly taking possession of stolen property makes you a criminal participant in the theft.

It’s telling that even Jews outside of Israel frequently do not like Israel despite it ostensibly being the “Jewish state”
Also, while Ibram X. Kendi might use CRT for his researchs (most historians do, even those that coulb be classed "right-wing" like Furetians in France), i don't think CRT have anything to do with these quotes.

CRT, from what i've understood, is used in history to take into consideration racial interactions before trying to emit hypothesis from a text or from objects.

Critical theory is basically saying "hey other humanities, our field (sociology) is very helpfull to help you decipher weirds thing from the past!" At least that's what i understood from the lecture i got like ten years ago (eleven actually). It is also present in science history, and i guess in law studies (not sure about that).

My pet theory: CRT really took off in the US because you are less able/willing to talk about class and the spectacle of race is quite easy to find and understand, while hiding other issues.
I have a two nice mechanical watches, one which used to be a daily wear. Once I got my Apple Watch I just never wear them anymore. The few times I'm at a black tie event and wear the nicer mechanical one I feel slightly limited. It's a dumb little problem, but I kinda feel like my Apple Watch ruined other watches for me.

I've got a few bands I rotate on it to make it feel a little more special though.
Maybe "Micro" refers to the support window
You probably know this, but Ctrl+W can be an alternative to close the current tab since those buttons won't move. Or using mouse gestures (blast from the past I suppose, but e.g. I use the 'up' and 'down' gestures to scroll to the top or bottom of a page very often).
You mean to ignore the dip during the leap, ignore the spike in the 1960 (assuming this is the recovery from the leap), so that we would have ~flat line up to year 1970?
Thanks so much for your project! It’s one of the things I turn to when looking to uncover actual human writing these days.
It is because of polices like that which guarantees I will never use Google Cloud. Why risk getting my email pulled so I can host cat videos when AWS will not dangle the sword of Damocles above my head.
Perhaps, you can start by learning what WASM is:

Still all I wear. I have one very simple auto that I wear every day, and no desire for anything much more complex. It’s a Maratac Mid-Pilot.

I kinda-sorta want a Hamilton with a day/date complication, but I’m not in a hurry for it.
We already have the answer. We do not really need new laws, or regulation

We need enforcement of contract law (and maybe a prohibition on binding arbitration which would be a new law)

However today these "Terms of service" are not really treated like a normal contract, in a few ways

One most of them are massively one sided, which should make them unenforceable and disallowed. Also standard contracts most of the time require notification of specific violations with documentation of the violation that triggers termination of the contract, not these vague assertions that with no documentation of the violation. Also for the most part contracts do not allow these open ended catch all type of provisions most Terms of service have, there are exceptions of course but it seems to have enacted a completely different level of provisions for these "terms of service" agreements that would not be permitted in other contexts of contract law
Omega (along with all other luxury Swiss watches) have had record years/sales since the the lockdowns started in 2020.

Omega specifically can’t meet demand and while that might sound like a good problem to have, they can print these moonSwatches, I’m sure the upside to this is significantly greater than any perceived knock on their luxury brand.

The industry is talking about this as a marketing tactic to get new watch buyers in the market, but I think that is a bigger unknown than any potential perceived dilution of the brand only if because retail has prepurchased Omega’s future production for the foreseeable future.
> Wait, did you just suggest a carrier would make something cheaper, voluntarily?

Comparatively cheaper. You can do that by raising the price on the alternatives.

> So, if someone said they were verbally abused at their job but didn't provide recordings, would you default to calling it "so unbelievable" and "pure propaganda", as you have called this?

This is a bad analogy because presumably if my coworkers were reporting the same stories as the workers in the article I'd would've witnessed the allegations first hand. If they were reporting not so overt aggressions as the one reported in the article in any case I'd still be able to better judge the situation other than purely by their word. So you'd have to give me more specifics.

I can guarantee you though if someone was calling my coworkers what the workers in the article were allegedly being called I would've spoken up on the spot and I'd be supporting them in that same article. How many of their coworkers are openly supporting them? Are all of them racist?

It's also a bad analogy because the likelihood of something being true changes if you hear it has happened to someone in millions and if you hear it has happened to someone you know.

So I do think you're skeptical although I don't see a rational basis for it.
Personally I think it's a huge mistake to say "I want to do this side project AND I want to learn a new language."

A few years ago I used to gawk at people who were rewriting boring old programs like "grep" and "cat" from

https://www.amazon.com/Software-Tools-Brian-W-Kernighan/dp/0...

in Rust but it's really appropriate because if you tried to write something interesting and innovative with difficult requirements while learning how to fight with the borrow checker.

For the past decade I've been using mainly Python and Java. Usually I am using one for paid work and the other for side projects. If you want to change the world in a big or a small way stick to languages that are commercially important.

The one trouble is that you don't want your employer to think that their IP walked out in your side project.

I used ProtonMail a few years back, it was kind of “spartan”.

I had heard good things about Fastmail from other GMail switchers and signed up for their free trial account, and liked the experience.

The mobile app is great, they support 2FA with hardware security keys, and the price seemed reasonable.
Ask HN: Capping population for cities, a thought experiment
Hypothetically, would capping populations of cities and towns be a better way to utilize resources as well as distribute resources so everyone can have a basic quality of life?

There are pros and cons to this..it is certainly an over reach of govt, but that exists now too in a different way.

As a thought experiment, would this help to develop model self sustaining cities?
There is https://www.opensilver.net/ Not sure if any is MS contributed. And I’m not sure I can recommend it as a platform. I never quite bought into XAML over HTML/CSS/JS. I’ve done both, and just would rather build a web app than XAML for most of the type things I build.
This is a great article and I think tree-sitter's design choices are creating a budding ecosystem of new program analysis tooling. This article discusses the speed advantages, but I think the fact that tree-sitter is dependency-free (which the author's previous article did mention) is worth highlighting again.

For context, some of my teammates maintain the OCaml tree-sitter bindings and often contribute to grammars as part of our work on Semgrep (Semgrep uses tree-sitter for searching code and parsing queries that are code snippets themselves into AST matchers).

Often when writing a linter, you need to bring along the runtime of the language you're targeting. E.g., in python if you're writing a parser using the builtin `ast` module, you need to match the language version & features. So you can't parse Python 3 code with Pylint running on Python 2.7, for instance. This ends up being more obnoxious than you'd think at first, especially if you're targeting multiple languages.

Before tree-sitter, using a language's built-in AST tooling was often the best approach because it is guaranteed to keep up with the latest syntax. IMO the genius of tree-sitter is that it's made it way easier than with traditional grammars to keep the language parsers updated.

Highly recommend Max Brunsfield's strange loop talk if you want to learn more about the design choices behind tree-sitter: https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2018/tree-sitter---a-new-pars...
Fair enough. I totally understand. I'm employed full time as a data analyst and I still can't afford an Omega. But it's the engineering behind the manual movement that fascinates me.

Just like the mechanical/automotive engineering behind petrol/diesel engines fascinate me more compared to electric motors on EVs. I'd still own an EV as that's the future but I'll always appreciate those mechanical gasoline powered engines. I get you analogy! :)
What will the coverage be like outside of Freeport, IL though?

Gmail has an option to send all the emails you get to another email address, and also delete them from the original email if you want. The way I'm currently doing it is waiting for something to send me an email and then changing the account for that particular service. Eventually, I would have completely left google's influence.
WHPX does not require admin in my testing, but it does require Windows Pro and several virtualization features to be enabled. It's not too bad but still not ideal.

Currently I'm not banking on it though and focusing my testing assuming full emulation on older hardware.

EDIT: Also, Firecracker seems to have more steam behind it than crosvm. I really wish it ran on Windows. That said, QEMU does have a microvm mode[0] that looks very interesting.

Eloquent JS changed my life. It made me realize that it would be hard, but I really could do this.
Right I will build for iOS.... ohh wait....

Ok that is out... so what is the other platform?
I didn't do a lot of shopping around, but I chose them because they appeared to have a good customer service, good pricing for single-person use, and all the features you might want like support for your own domain name, email aliases, caldav, etc. I have been a happy customer for years and all of these things turned out to be true. I have had zero reason to even consider looking elsewhere.

Also the web app is really good. Like really really good. And I don't normally like web apps.
Why the Fascination with Retrocomputing?
Is anyone creeped out by the comments about how the woman is the “prettiest” Tetris player, or her “little green number”? This article is from 2007, not 1957.
You lost 1m (dollars, euro, pounds, ?) and only attempted to use an automated mechanism notorious for replying with “lol no” and that’s it?

You can’t really develop a mobile app at all without running this risk
And then there are used options for both PC and Mac, if they're really keen.
That's a shallow distinction. The constant migration is because internally teams are abandoning projects. Whether another team picks up a similar project is a secondary process, and may not happen, then you have a killed product. This is a completely different process than a company deciding to go in a different business direction or making a technical decision to change.

Eventually these "core products" will be abandoned, because let's face it, they are not even core products. Core product for GOOG is ads. And that's the difference.
Support is helpful and responsive in the rare edge cases I have run into twice over many years when pushing their features to extremes
Probably not common, but that's a little more than I made as a developer 10 years ago at a small company with like 6 employees. It was not a tech company, the CEO knew enough to keep the website running and I did some enhancements. I worked there for almost a year then got a 250% pay increase at a real software company. The owner of the small company said he could not match the salary, and that I would be making more than him. I felt kind of bad, but did honest work during the time I had there and that's all I could do.
The traffic costs of a $500 server vs the price of ondemand pricing for an hour or two would still be in favour of the $500 dollar server.
If your ISP is AT&T or Verizon, switching to 5G is not switching ISPs.
Looking through all these designs, I'm reminded how much I liked Vista-inspired themes like Firefox adopted. Curves, transparency, fancy. Not the most energy efficient or easiest on the eyes, and I'm not actually a fan of transparency in general because it makes stuff move that you're not meant to be looking at (e.g. if the page you're scrolling on slides below your task bar, it's not useful to be distracted by something on your task bar moving), but it was the prettiest in my opinion.

Ride both horses at the same time for about a year. Setup Fastmail on a custom domain, forward your Gmail there, and as you see people emailing your Gmail, update those accounts as you get the chance.

I had a Gmail as my primary for over 10 years, did exactly this for 3 years, and now I’ll get maybe 2-3 junk notices per year to my old Gmail.
To play the devil's advocate, at a large company like Microsoft, it's healthier when products are allowed to fail. Otherwise, new projects will get vetoed because of maintenance risk
This is poorly documented, but if the kernel supports unprivileged user namespaces, bubblewrap works without suid.
it got overrun by woke nonsense and no one wants to listen to that.
Totally agree. I've been doing this for over a decade. I've barely used my actual Gmail address for anything. I've gone through many incarnations of email, but at some point Gmail was just a solid enough UI, had the best spam filtering, and so I switched.

Everything just forwards to my Gmail address. I have a personal domain which is also setup as an outbound address. Several other domains/addresses also forward. I also do a wildcard *@something.example.org which I use for accounts/signups (unique email per site), which lets me track who's selling my address (or is breached) and has some other security benefits.
Salty about what exactly? Put it in words please.
I really like this search engine. Particularly when I want to jump face-first into researching a new topic that I know almost nothing about, the signal-to-noise ratio is often so much better than Google.
Where's the source code? :D I looked under /src and didn't find much. I couldn't find raygui.c and that should be under /src.
Show HN: pg_plan_guarantee – Postgres Query Optimizer Hints, on Steroids.
There's no mistaking the Swatch for the Omega for anyone who has any clue about watches at all. The Swatch has a plastic case and comes on a Velcro strap, for starters.

But even beyond that, many people who're into watches really don't care what other people think about them.
They are just an improvement on the OLED technology, with reduced burnin risk and brighter pixels being the largest improvement.
There are only 3 chapters so far. I figured a table of contents could wait till after chapter 4 was done haha!
Taking your question literally - no. Obviously not.
Surely you can recognize the difference between that and somewhere rural enough that they don't even have lightpoles and if they did, a 5g cell on one could reach at most one customer anyways.
Decentralizing populations was an official policy in many countries prior to 1980 or so when I think there was a lot of concern major cities would get shot up in an atomic war.

Also there was a sense that countries like Britain and France had too much power and wealth in London and Paris and that something had to be done about it for the sake of fairness.

Post 1990 the fear of atomic war is reduced (e.g. there are dramatically fewer missiles and warheads) and the triumph of Reagan and Thatcher brought us globalization, so now London has to beat New York as a financial center for the good of the whole U.K... In the last few years there is talk of "leveling up" the hinterland but let's see where that goes.
That's just the same question phrased differently. I'd suggest that what we need are answers.
Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata

It teaches Latin in a very cool way, where the entire book is written in Latin but it starts off with simple sentences anyone with a Romance language background can understand, before diving into deeper sentences, all while being illustrated so one can still follow the plot if they're stuck.

It contrasts with very dense Latin books that focus on grammar and spelling, which often bore students. LLPSI instead takes readers on an entertaining journey.
I have been in the following situation, and anecdotally I know many other DBAs and Developers have also bitten by such a situation. Hence I created this Postgres extension, to save us from the tyranny of a Query Optimizer :-). Following is directly from the project's Overview section.

You work very hard to tune your queries; to get the exact query execution plan that satisfies your performance needs.

But some time later, after either the data has changed suffiently, or the statistics have changed sufficiently, Postgres planner chooses to suddenly pick a query execution plan that makes your application look unresponsive. This shows up on your dashboard as an outage. Now you find yourself running against the clock, to rewrite the query, test it, change the application/ORM, and deploy the changes, and still just hoping that the production database accepts your offerings, and executes your query just acceptably enough, so you can go back to bed.

But if you use the pg_plan_guarantee extension, you will never face such a situation; we can guarantee that. This extension provides a mechanism, using which you can set your execution plan in stone; that is, Postgres will execute the plan you give it, or it will throw an error, but it will never try to guess a plan for you.

Because the data and/or statistics change gradually over time, you can be fairly confident that the guaraneed-plan will continue to serve your needs in a graceful manner. That is, your guaranted-plan will degrade gracefully, as opposed to suddenly, at the most inopportune time.
I have always wondered why the average male is reluctant wrt condoms. Condoms serve both as a contraceptive and as a prophylactic. To date, they are most effective against STD transmission.

Imo, condom usage should be encouraged as barrier sheaths act as better prophylactics. Having said that, I wonder how circumcision affects male pleasure during coitus and I guess there is no real answer to this..unless we get a large sample set of men who were circumcised in their adulthood.
