Same here.

You might get away with higher resolution x265 with passive cooling (a really good heatsink), especially if the device is in a reliably cool environment, but around the time I started using such encoded media the Pi4 was readily available which does 265 in hardware so no similar heat problem (the Pi3 is now used for other experiments). Unfortunately current supply issues might preclude you using that upgrade option!
The context here is Free and Open Source Software that accesses email.

Software that, for now, under Google's current interpretation of the rules, is allowed to use their OAuth without paying these fees.

The question I'm asking is, what happens next year when Google decides to silently change their interpretation of the rules? Do you, as a FOSS email client writer working on JohnnyMail, risk a massive yearly bill of 1/6th or more of your salary that you are contractually obliged to pay - or just say "Sorry Google, you've outpriced me" while their interpretations are still favourable?

It's not "undoubtedly better for end users" that free email apps be excluded from Gmail. It's not better for end users that open source software developers are given a sword of Damocles hovering above their heads. Sure, it's undoubtedly better if these free apps can be guaranteed to be secure, it would be even better if Google could do that in a way that didn't cost a massive amount or a surprise bill.

I'm glad you had the resources to be able to go through the process, and that you found it a useful process to go through. But it doesn't justify the uncertainty.
The best thing to do for both of those is shut down coal plants; the emissions from those are terrible for health and they’re even radioactive too.
About 5 seconds thought would be enough to see the risks, and the same goes for the rest of the crypto ecosystem. Even the name of UST is clearly meant to con people who confuse it with USDT. It's scams upon scams all the way down.

Even if your figures seem out of date, your argument against UST also holds for USDT (which underpins much of the crypto price bubble):

There is 7B USD in circulation and the market cap of US(D)T is 74 BILLION USD

All this perceived wealth is going to melt into air soon, and yes a bear market has already arrived.
Ok, so why does the region matter, iff you follow the same method and live up to the same quality standards?
Transactional mail alone can reach that volume easily.
I'm sure someone will be on TV to argue that the monkeys should have exercised personal responsibility.
On the other hand. Mail delivery services like Mailchimp and Sendgrid often see blocks of their IP address spaces ending up in IP blacklists because their services are prone to temporary abuse by bad actors. So even if you get a personal IP address on the service it might be blocked. At that point you still need to take manual action. Some spam list distributors are borderline extortive in nature and will demand a fee to remove you from such a blacklist, and might not even consider removing you if you are using a specific third party SMTP relay service.

I guess mail delivery is just hard regardless of whether you are hosting it yourself or using a commercial relay service.
Is there some smaller version of this, suitable for embedding into programs?

$ size /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libzstd.so.1.3.3
text data bss dec hex filename
508674 492 20 509186 7c502 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libzstd.so.1.3.3

Yikes; half a meg of code!

Say I just want something in my C program for saving certain files using less space, and only care about decompressing only those files. Is there some small implementation of a subset of Zstandard: say no more than four or five source files, and 64K of machine code?

If I add 500K to the program, I'm going to have to save 500K by compressing the accompanying files, just to begin breaking even.

For comparison, libz may not have the decompression speed or the ratio, but it's more than four times smaller:

$ size /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1.2.11
text data bss dec hex filename
115537 588 4 116129 1c5a1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1.2.11

This is more like it!

text data bss dec hex filename
60511 3520 4 64035 fa23 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1.0.4

Text 60511. Is there some configuration of Zstandard which can cram into comparable code space?
The effect of supply and demand on price come from people bidding on the free market, not from anyone on the market knowing the global supply and demand.

If people have to know supply and demand to determine prices, how can free market work for thousands of years before the basic principle of economics is established?

Actually I feel the pendulum has stopped a few months ago and is slowly starting to go back. Some major things in my world:

- I now only have one website I need to use that only works in Chrome.

- Devs seems to start to care

- LibreWolf is starting to give Mozilla a run for its money

- I'm optimistic that we will see some break through, sooner or later, where Chrome will be punished as hard as IE was: fines, regulations and a browser choice dialog for starters (but please folks, it can happen a lot faster if it it isn't just "that one weird loon", so do contact your local authorities and do complain about how Chrome has destroyed a thriving ecosystem. And if you work in Google, do ask tough questions.)

Veritasium has an awesome video on planned obsolescence here. [1] The problem in many cases isn't that it costs so much more to make products that last, but rather that making products that break is just way more profitable when you can effectively control the market to such a degree that you don't need to worry about some party pooper (1) coming in and making stuff that does genuinely last and (2) gaining significant marketshare.

The example of the light bulb cartel that had unquality assurance, spot testing, and a formal structure of fines and penalties for any members who made too long of lasting lightbulbs is just hilariously dystopic.

What makes you say that the software industry isn't developed in Europe?
If nothing else, this rang true to me. I'm not sure I'd use the terms "imposter syndrome" and "burnout" to describe the experiences I have in mind but I do think what they describe were a big part of my experience.

What maybe gets lost a bit is the social context of imposter syndrome. It tends to be discussed as something solely internal to the individual. In some sense this is necessarily true, but I think it can also maybe sometimes be seen as a sign that the work environment isn't addressing something. This isn't to say imposter syndrome is a sign of a bad workplace, but I do think in some cases (many cases?) the development of imposter syndrome can be a sign that some element of employee well-being is being neglected. Many of those same things, those sources of neglect, can then lead to burnout at the organization.

I think this article could have maybe explored some of these causal threads more -- it was a bit vague -- but I appreciated it raising the possibility that imposter syndrome might be a sign of bigger or more long-term problems, maybe something something contextual or systemic. Imposter syndrome is about there being a gap between internal experience and externally perceived activity, and burnout is sort of the same.
> The biggest advantage of the formula is that the employer is not the authority figure in the room.

This is the case for how employment works now. If you turn employment from "an agreement between two parties, each of whom has a direct interest in picking the right thing for themselves" and you instead grant almost all of the power in the agreement to the state, with none of the responsibility, aren't you creating the world's biggest principal-agent problem? With all the corruption that entails?

This is an awful article. I would rate someone as having poor “solving” skills if they demonstrated this level of thinking.

Most fundamentally, of course the data shows that “would hire” correlates to “appears to have the skill this interview is specifically intended to assess”. These are not independent variables, nor are they objective measures. Don’t waste your time analysing them as if they are.

From a candidates point of view, the question is “what can I spend time on to improve my chances of getting the job I want”.

I’ve never met anyone who’s preparation is analogous to the scenario presented, “I decided to convert a communications point into a coding point.” Developing complimentary skills is rarely a zero sum game.

The data appears to show that unless you are top ranked on two different technical criteria, poor communication skills will prevent you from getting the job. Data-wise, we’re starting to see the impact of having a variable that isn’t almost perfectly correlated with the outcome. That’s less likely to mean “talk is cheap” than “there’s an easy opportunity to improve your performance; you’d be a fool to dismiss it”.

I would also suggest that earning a high score for problem solving is going to benefit significantly from good communications skills. Asking good questions and explaining your process, whether or not you could code the solution, goes a long way.

So sure, if you are extremely skilled on the technical side, and the company hires based solely on the technical interview, and that company is offering you the best of all the potential roles you could take, better communication skills aren’t necessarily valuable to you.

For everyone else: career tip, of course you should be applying for jobs where your skills are relevant to the role, but also remember that general communication skills are valuable.
I think some things need to be built out some more, like their postgres and adding more storage after creation, but in general it's really enjoyable to use. The pricing seems fair, and their blog is intersting and fun to read.
I think that's an interesting idea.

Here's a post that benchmarked multi-region Postgres (Elixir/Phoenix on fly.io): https://nathanwillson.com/blog/posts/2021-09-25-fly-multi-db...

According to the post, for some users (residing in Japan, and the primary instance being located in Amsterdam), a query could take ~200ms (median). If multiple queries are performed for each request, that could mean 1 second or more per API call - not so great if that's the case for multiple seconds after each write. I think this would eventually lead to putting more code in stored procedures, begging the question: why not use a distributed DB like Fauna in the first place?

Alternatively, the replication problem could be accounted for in the app itself. E.g. the SPA or the edge instance could retry reads following a write until the change from the primary instance has propagated, and up until then pretend that everything went fine. In case a write isn't replicated within 10 seconds or so, show an error to the user and let them retry the write action. This could lead to duplicate entries, but I'd estimate the chance for that to be quite low.
Pretty much this. Add in that in a relatively small project in which you include a few asset store items along with your own code the code build time might be 15s, followed by 15s to launch the editor into play mode; now they're talking about some improvements that might shave a few ms off the time, or a multi-year project (which might actually make a difference); but which probably will be implemented as poorly as everything else they've done.

In another year they'll be bored of this performance upgrade, and they'll start something else up.

On some of their other attempts: IL2CPP has performance improvements, but it also has issues such as on a select % of laptops it'll just cause a random crashes (even in a very basic project). They tried adding DOTS for graphical improvement rendering a lot of items, but then just sort of semi-abandoned it to work on other tasks.

Let's not even get started on them splitting the rendering pipelines.
Many thanks for sharing your stories with us! Very impressive and inspiring.
Plenty of services could use that. Think of any large scale service that does email notifications.
Being there. Having so many (nice) tools available out there, I spent more time playing around with such tools than I spent doing actual writing. Nowadays, this is what I do:

- I do the writing first using Word (or Google Docs)

- Once my writing is done, I use the cool tools (if needed)

It a little more work at the end (if any), but it's totally negligible because the trunk work is already done (the writing itself).
for sure, PostgreSQL is feature complete as Oracle, however it is the best open source db that is close enough. And not everyone needs multi-master replication or automated materialize view, etc. Many feature in Oracle can be build custom via functions and store procedures in Postgres.
it's fraud

I found render.com more convincing than fly.io (which looked more like a beta product with a prime-time landing page), with both of them not being anywhere close to making me jump from GCP.
I don't know what this post is about (it is still down). Looks like an issue with GitPage. I had few not-so-important static websites hosted on GitHub Pages but gave up with such similar downtime. It was pretty noticeable even for my lame websites including my own personal website.

Anyways, Addy Osmani did contribute or did talked a lot about Frontend engineering development, especially wrt to Google Chrome. Whenever I think of Lighthouse, or try to debug or get my team to debug with Google Inspector, I remember him. I have read a lot of his articles, public tweets (I think) where I have exclaimed "oh! That's how", "ah! that is cool."

Yawn. All I have seen is some angry techbro who can dish out an hour of time for an attorney to write angry letter when he does not have things his way. That is not to say this is a criticism of victims but rather a damn shame more people do not stand up to this nonsense.

Incidentally this 'notoriously litigious' individual is also being sued over alleged sexual-harassment committed by him at his previous company London Trust Media[1]. However not sure of the latest status given the sale(s) of certain companies.

Well, as a start, it is a loaded question

But I get it. They're trying to get people that "love linux". It's part of the cultural fit, sure

Now think for a bit about hiring for people that "love something" and what does that tell about the professional environment of that company. Wouldn't it be better if they actually hired people that are good at the job?

For all the talk about diversity and inclusion, this is a very good example of how the opposite looks like.
That's the point you seemed to have missed. Value judgements subjective. Read the first sentence of the post again.
Are the off-topic discussions more (or less?) engaging than the topical ones, for you? Just curious.
I know at least firefox at one point used the system default background and text colors. This of course worked horribly as many websites (including Google at some point) would override the background or text color with a custom value and not the other assuming that the user would be using the default theme on Windows (or just not caring), which left you with dark grey text on dark background on many websites if you used a dark system theme.

I do agree the the actual point that the default colors have nothing to do with user preference though.

I think this is good advice. The overhead in operations to host and maintain a custom setup is non-negligible, but at least you might get better delivery rates. One of the annoying things about the commercial relays is that the reported delivery rates can't be trusted as they are based on the receiving server actually reporting accurate responses. In lots of cases the receiving server, if suspecting a spam email, will just report that they received the email and then pass it straight into the proverbial shredder.

So while a relay might say you have 99% delivery rate, the actual number might be closer to 90% and you would never know unless your customers complain about missing emails.
You can follow all these steps and still end up on blocklists. I run a personal mail server for me and my wife, and every now and then my IP ends up on some blocklist which sometimes even denies my delist requests. And if you're especially unlucky, you end up blocked on outlook.com and have to jump through endless hoops.

Unless you're willing to out in the work, I wouldn't recommend hosting your own mail server.

Fakes have played a key role in historical events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinoviev_letter ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of... ; Roosevelt's map faked by British intelligence https://www.jstor.org/stable/40257685 and so on.

It's a matter of quantity as well as quality. It gets easier to produce convincing forgeries all the time, but it doesn't get easier to debunk them. This allows for public discourse to be destroyed by flooding it with fakes.
IMO the blackout is only the next days perspective. People can be surprisingly active and 'clear' when completely drunk.

I am sure something fun was probably going on in Regensburg ;)

Edit:// to go into more detail. I've seen and had this happen (f* alcohol). It surely decreased by drinking enough water and some club mate between beers :) Obviously anyone can tell you are drunk, but it doesn't mean you don't function. Also due to alcohol in general bad ideas turn into the best ideas ever and trips like yours can happen. Others awake next to people they don't know, or in a hospital. Count yourself lucky and learn to drink more water when drinking ;)

There's certainly power, that's at least inherent in modding a popular platform. But as a _very_ casual observer mainly lurking around, I'm satisfied with interpreting dangs stance as anything with any traction gets boosted, yc or not.

To the examples, fly.io caught my attention primarily by offering a useful free tier DB, and tailscale has my attention as a "beat this" offering for some homelab access stuff (meaning some stuff could but I at least have a benchmark). Until this post I didn't actually know one was YC and another wasn't. I'm interested in both purely because of HN posts.
I think this is the key sentence in the article:

> Mozilla will maintain support for blocking WebRequest in MV3. To maximize compatibility with other browsers, we will also ship support for declarativeNetRequest.

That means uBlock Origin will continue to work on Firefox !
The end of this article raises the issue of whether Fly.io’s USP, deploying app servers close to your users, is useful for run of the mill web apps. And as much as I like Fly.io and the people associated with it, I’ve wondered this myself. It just seems like serving to US customers from any major US data center is generally fast enough. And I think this might even be true for the world of HTML-over-the-wire web stuff, which Fly.io seems to investing heavily in.

No doubts there are plenty of more niche uses (if I were serving users internationally, I’d probably use Fly.io), but the use case just doesn’t seem as broad as the Heroku/PaaS comparisons make it out to be.

> I'm not saying it's a legitimate business

Umm, once it's not a legitimate business, it's fraudulent. Exactly what type of fraudulent is a somewhat secondary issue.

[of Boiler Room scams of old] "... often rely on high-pressure sales tactics, such as aggressive cold-calling, misinformation, and extravagant promises to assure buyers that they are buying "a sure thing." [..] The SEC requires brokers to adhere to strict standards when selling securities. Brokers may not misinform or omit material facts when selling securities; nor can they exaggerate their own track records. They are also required to have a “reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction or investment strategy is suitable for a customer.”"[0]

Ring any bells?

Do we think customers are really giving informed consent before putting their savings into these platforms?
