I believed in Father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
then I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
and I saw him
and through his disguise

(My take, though, is that Santa Claus is small potatoes compared to the song's larger themes of disillusionment that come with growing up.)
Probably with the advent of industrial infantilization of children. In a world where many children were married by 16 and before that lived in a farm and assisted with birth (both human and animal) it would be hard to keep it a mystery.

It knows the domain already and SMTP credentials are already saved.

I’ve already set creds for abc@domain.tld, xyz@domain.tld and pr course as usual I can reply, send new emails from these addresses.

But I should also be able to send emails/reply from pqrs/dfg/john/tom/ram/bond/bill/etc@domain.tld. Of course reply will be automatic but sending new email might just require changing the from field.

It can have a setting that “if a from address identified isn’t already added as an identity, it should use the SMTP creds of matching domain”. It won’t work for something like Gmail, Outlook.com (I mean one anyway can’t have catch-all on these domains) but would work great for personal emails.

This is what I meant.

Because without such a feature - catchall feature is often rendered very limited. Even iCloud+ supports replying - id you’ve to send a fresh mail from a catchall/disposable (or service/provider/business specific) email address you’re out of luck.
That sounds like a great approach!
> without the burden of rising property taxes that go with your massive financial gains

I clearly did not say that. I said that as a homeowner, I'd prefer that the value didn't go up at all. I don't want massive paper gains.

History is showing us it isn't very easy, so I'm curious what is the plan to make it easy?

I've long thought that it might be interesting for an interview model to emerge where a trial period of weeks/months is the expectation. I think this might resolve much of the current frustration with programming inteviews. But I also recognize that doing so would be significantly different from how essentially all other companies operate, and if it weren't communicated clearly enough, could result in negative PR for a firm trying such an approach.

Thanks for clarifying. I think I understand the objection but I have a follow up question: are these hypothetical overshoots realistically possible? With the rate we enact change now, is it even possible to get 'slightly overshot' without opposing interests jumping all over it?

> There are plenty of passionate software engineers who think those problems are actually fun.

There are plenty of passionate software engineers who don’t. Competitive programmers maybe. I like writing naive code that does something useful, where useful sometimes mean performance. When you revisit or just step away from the problem, you’ll have an aha moment of how to solve it more efficiently, or more elegantly. The Leetcode style interview expects finding that insight in the first 5-10 minutes of the interview. Here, more grinding increases the probability you arrive that rote insight. Rote memorization is not very fun, especially for software engineers who like assembling complex things from simple primitives and first principles.
It's good for saved session profiles. In a heterogeneous environment many of those many many settings actually need to be set to something.

The problem is mainly just that standard putty stores those in the registry instead of files, but there are forks that fix that. I even have one I made for a former employer that makes those session files clickable, and has a few other enhancements like detecting your default printer for passthrough print automatically so you can save a session that has working printing without hardcoding a local printer name.

I can't point to that right now because the company was sold and the new company took down everything that had the old company name on it. I have to de-brand it then I can put it back up, but by now I think several other forks are as good.
Thanks for understanding. Not disputing it, just bothering to understand if I can.
Just curious, and slightly belaboring a point…

Are they in DC?

14s and 15s are relatively easy to access in a few fields in the DC area at a young age (tech and contracting are the two fields I know people who have fast-tracked in the GS system in DC). Anywhere else… not so much. Those are usually mid-career or late-career positions outside of DC area.
I could access it through network via michnet back then. I had no idea where to obtain one, and I think when I did finally find one for sale through some computer magazine, it was in hundreds of dollars (easily $500+) when I barely had pennies to rub together as a high schooler. When I got Linux, I put money together with friends to get a CD. Our major expense was really buying pack of floppies to transfer and install it since we didn't have a CD drive then.
Unless you are reviewing the code in your assumedly large bundle of dependencies there, this is not a solution if you weren't posting this in jest
I think the admonition is that you should tell the truth/be honest when you choose to speak on a subject. However your children don't have the right to demand that you speak on every possible subject at their convenience.
You just agreed with them. The M1 machines are plenty powerful, we all know that, but the OS doesn't give enough support for decent performance that even Linux can achieve.
When our daughter was 3 or so, she would ask why she wasn't in our wedding pictures. "You weren't born yet" would trigger an incredible meltdown as she confronted the idea of having not been alive. Inconsolable. This kept happening. Eventually we just explained as much as it took to get her to settle down. She seemed content with the idea that the ovum that became her was in her mother at that time. At some point she hilariously distorted this into "I was just a head".

Sometimes it's terrifying for them when they don't know the truth.
More likely it was device support.

You could get something like the Yggdrasil distribution that seemed to support a pile of video cards, network cards, CD-Roms etc. that were hard to get working on 386BSD. You have to remember that for most people, getting X up and running was a real effort, let alone patching the kernel to support whatever weird CD-Rom you might have.

I picked up 386BSD first, but quickly switched to Linux (around '94 I guess) simply because the community had more of a stake in Linux for providing support for different devices.

It's interesting that this read to you as cramming. To me, the mention of the use of Anki (spaced repetition) as well as his approach to revisiting past questions he had trouble with suggested the opposite.
I don’t understand this, but some people seem to feel very strongly about it.

I didn’t think anything about finding out that Santa wasn’t real, but it seems to make a VERY strong impression on some people. The contrast is interesting.
“Apple Music is now a subscription service”

Apple Music was always a subscription service, that’s what Apple Music launched as. The iTunes Store is still around and works the same as always, and the app still lets you rip CDs and sync those. Apple Music hasn’t replaced anything.

Moreover, the iPod was a very popular device from 2001 for a decade or more. I think you’re overestimating how much of people’s music collections came from Napster rather than CDs and the iTunes Store.

It is a URL, it’s just not ICANN/DNS.

In practice you can go to example.eth directly in web3 browsers (most mobile wallets have built in browsers). For browsers like Chrome or safari you can access them through gateways, for example, Cloudflare has a .link gateway so on chrome you can use example.eth.link (my preferred gateway is eth.limo).

Good luck explaining that nuance to everybody in the neighborhood who thinks their home value is the most important thing.

> rising prices hurt the homeowner because it means taxes go up.

That depends. Idk how other places do it, but where I live there's a fixed amount of total tax for the year and it's distributed to each home based on its value. So if all the homes in the city go up equally you're paying the same tax every year, but if your neighborhood goes up faster than others, then you're paying more.
Lots of California is this way also. People focus on the SF and LA areas but there is so much empty land in thr rest of the state. Much of the hurdle to living there, as previously noted, is access to services. Mainly medical and grocery for me. Having to drove 2-3+ hours to get to a decent medical facility isn't in the cards for us.
Polybius - the videogame that doesn't exist
I think honesty is a pretty good general policy, but I've also found that kids will find weird things to be hurt by, whether you tell the truth or lie. Because they're still developing, and because adults do that too.

I'm sure this guy is not doing this, and he has a lot of other reasons for wanting to be honest. However, I will say that whether a child is aggrieved by an action of yours should be given due weight. If your child rarely behaves like this, then perhaps it's a stronger signal. On the other hand if your child thinks that failing to cut the crust off the bread is right next to murder in the ten commandments, then you have to take that into account as well.
I have indeed heard about it and it’s on the radar but not having any trial is a bummer. Btw what’s that 600 email (alias?) limit?

Also, wouldn’t want to buy a domain just to try. On top of that they don’t allow domains on their starting paid tier (which already costs 4 times current paid mail host) and my email resource usage doesn’t warn more than that.

Can you please tell us how the UI is?

E.g. You registered on Reddit and just used a random/disposable/freshly thought of email address like “reddit@kingcharles.tld”.

Now if you receive an email from Reddit or anybody on the email I guess you can just hit reply and it will be replied from that Email — for this you would have to come back to Fastmail app/dashboard ans add that “reddit@…” as an identity/email or you don’t have to as long as the domain matches (and of course it does, that’s how you received mail in the first place)?

And what if you’re not replying? You’re initiating an email to someone but suddenly want to use “another-addr-random@kingcharles.tld”? You can just set it at the time of sending the mail you this email address has to be added as an identity/alias?
For steady inflation that's not already priced into rates/prices/etc, the solution is pretty simple. Borrow a lot of money at low, fixed rates. Invest in hard assets like real estate. To the extent that you invest in equities, invest in businesses with a lot of pricing power and little competition. Their profits will tend to go up more than the rate of inflation, and then stock prices tend to track profits.

Problem is that inflation is rarely steady. Typically you get stops and starts. Inflation will rise, and the Fed will try to contain it by raising rates. Then the raised rates create a recession, all asset prices fall, the Fed flinches and drops rates. Inflation takes off again. Repeat for a decade or more.

In an environment like this, you can't lever up too heavily, and you need to actively manage. Otherwise you'll get reamed by the busts. Optimal strategy is to buy surviving high-growth stocks right as the recession gets to its peak, as everyone feels like everything's going bankrupt, and then hold them as rates drop and the economy recovers. Then sell right as the Fed signals it's going to get tough on inflation again.

Optimal strategy is pretty hard to execute. Failing that, it's often best just to buy & hold profitable, low-competition businesses.

The demographic time-bomb of everybody retiring at once and trying to cash out of the market at the same time is another issue. There's no real fix for this: living standards are going to have to drop, for retirees or workers or both (and more likely retirees). The way to profit from it is to look for companies that are successfully automating parts of elder care, and then invest hard in them.
That's why taking the vaccine is valuable! It provides protection, even to those who have had COVID before! Even if you had it last year, you can protect yourself by taking the vaccine! That's what the study shows! Just because you think it's obvious doesn't mean the study isn't valuable!
Reading these responses is pretty upsetting. No wonder big tech is so evil. So many talented developers willing to sell their soul for more money. No thought to whether what they’re doing is causing harm to the world.
May I interest you in Matrix (and/or XMPP) for messaging and Mastodon (for social media) on Communick[0]?

I've done some experiments with running an email server as well, but I don't think I would be able to run it as reliably and cost-effectively as the more established players.

Also, Mastodon (or Pleroma) can work as a substitute for Yammer.

Ask HN: What are some worthy high-level goals for humankind?
Yeah there is, there's a framework built behind it. That would require building a completely different system for something it isn't really designed to do. I think a large portion of their customers probably prefer that isn't a feature as it's frequently used in business and they want to specifically control speakers to serve different audio and don't want people tampering with it.

There are far cheaper Bluetooth speakers with better audio quality. When you buy Sonos stuff, the whole idea is having multiple/many of them. That's the entire point of the product.

> requiring IDs to vote is a solution in search of a problem in the US

It's not, you're just failing to correctly identify the problem. Elections must not only be secure as a matter of fact, but be perceived as secure. The security of an election must be apparent on its face, to different groups who have adverse interests and don't trust each other. Watch how people in Taiwan count votes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqKt-lPfJuw. They don't do it this way to address fraudulent elections in the past. They do it so that the vote counting is above question.

Election procedures where the integrity of the voting is established by after-the-fact studies or the results of litigation showing the absence of fraud are bad procedures that don't actually satisfy all the requirements for good elections. This is not a republican versus democrat thing. Election denial after 2020 undoubtedly has been especially bad--which in part shows that election procedures should be robust against demagoguery!--but more than a third of democrats believed that the 2004 election was stolen, and about the same percentage of republicans believed the same thing about the 2012 election: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/04/many-repu.... The numbers for the GOP right now are double that, but it's also worth observing that the 2004 and 2012 elections didn't occur against the backdrop of last-minute pandemic-related changes to voting procedures.

Either way, a system where an incumbent wins by multiple points (Bush won by 2.4 and Obama by 3.9) and still one out of three members of the losing party still think they cheated is dangerous to democracy.
You probably know, but for the benefit of the others, at least some compilers support warning for that with -Wdouble-promotion.

This makes sense, OpenAI has been experimenting with human-in-the-loop type refinement systems for GPT-3 (see InstructGPT https://openai.com/blog/instruction-following/). It would make sense that they would use something similar for Dall-E 2 as well.
The blog said he needed an additional 30 minutes of time each day, not just 30 minutes period. Presumably they already have a system worked out where they each get some personal time during the day and the job quest shifted this balance.

Yeah on paper HDZero and DJI both do 720p, but i think that's just the number of pixels. HDZero does seem to lose more quality than DJI due to the way it encodes data. There's also 1080p30 mode on HDZero - but there don't seem to be any cameras that make use of it. For now I am disappointed with my HDZero system: I still can't see ghost branches and electric cables in time.

The video you linked doesn't represent HDZero fairly though, because they're 2 different cameras - with different settings. Here's a more accurate representation: https://youtu.be/SmfbMTe80Uc?t=126 . (So far, of all the HDZero cameras I have tested, I liked Digisight V3 the best)

RubyHD seems pretty good - except for latency. On a better hardware I think RubyHD would be as good as DJI.

Also do check out the recent root exploit for DJI goggles. It will soon bring you "Canvas mode" (OSD like we had on Analog systems). Happy Flying!

I am still waiting for Orqa to come out with their HD system.

The biggest hurdle to living in those places is actually access to jobs. I guess it works if you can WFH, but if you don't have that option, you want a vibrant job market. With jobs comes wealth and then services like retail and medical care.

Prisons work well for these cases: Susanville is fairly rural (1.5 hours away from Reno?), it is the kind of place where if you drive north you get the dreaded "No services for 130 miles" sign. But they have a prison so they have jobs and services that come with the money those jobs bring (although you are still stuck heading to Reno if you need a real hospital or speciality care).
