I actually got a call from a company I bought something from, direct from their website. I had bought it using the email $company@$mydomain. Got a call (in the days before most of my calls were not spam and I answered the phone!) from a marketing person and the guy tried to bully me into ... not sure what. I couldn't even tell, like you, what he was accusing me of... I'll say, it felt really good to school him about the internet and how it worked.

Hello @vivekweb2013, and thank you for creating this wonderful git based note utility.

I'd like to draw your attention to issue #59 and in the meantime I'll be posting a short Fediverse article, basically just an announcement at this point, with a much more in depth article to follow once the FOSS based git support enhancement is released.

It's implied. What other reason is there to restrict our vocabulary? Classless is pretending to be a puritan. I suppose if I put on a suit and tie and use proper etiquette while monopolizing the country, I'm a high-class monopoly man. But curse and do good and I'm a dreg of society. Yeah, that's great boomer logic, we're moving past that. Good fucking riddens.
TLDR: Brave asked USPS to send out a mass physical mail ad to folks in a specific set of US zip codes. The “New User” message is a mishap from the marketing team; Brave themselves did not collect or purchase any user data to serve the advertisement to any specific person(s).

To play devil’s advocate here; while ideologically it’s sort of backwards from a privacy standpoint (utilizing USPS for using non-anonymized user data), I understand how difficult it really is to market a new browser for non-technical users where a similar advertisement of whom it would likely never reach online. To gain and keep the trust of informed users alongside average joes though, I do hope that in the future a more anonymous method is used to acquire eyes on the product than delegating the non-private business to third-party vendors.

Here’s the exact responses from Brave rep on the explainer Reddit thread.

> I want to stress that Brave didn't buy any data. Not even anonymous data. We sent these mailers through the United States Postal Service. They have names and addresses, but none of that makes its way back to Brave (by design; we don't want any user data). We don't even want names printed on the mailers; we've asked (and will stress again) that this not happen.

> This is understandable confusion, likely due to the "New Brave User" message. In reality, these were mailed only to residents living within certain target cities. Brave gives the USPS a zip code, and that's it. The "New Brave User" wording, I'm told, is not uncommon in marketing. Personally, I find it a bit confusion as it seems to imply the recipient is already a Brave user (which we do not know to be the case). I hope this helps to clear up any confusion!
Subtitles are not a "basic thing". There's several formats of subtitles and even multiple ways to associate them with a video file. Some formats are embedded and others are sidecar files. Different file containers have different limitations on the subtitle formats they support. Just because a subtitle is ostensibly "text" doesn't automatically make them basic.
I've definitely faded out of connection with folks easier by behaving asynchronously to messages. I'm also not on social networks, so you'll need to Signal/SMS/email me. Sometimes I'll bring up the Deep Work book and that I believe strongly that constant distraction is unhealthy to the mind.

To perhaps the majority of Americans, this behavior renders me untrustworthy and forgettable.

Our expectations as a culture (US) on voyeurism and response time have shifted dramatically in this regard since the popularization of the iPhone. What's most surprising is so many people are unaware that I haven't changed in this regard. They have.
You are probably right if we disregard the 20 years of cap-ex investments Google made into having that infrastructure. In order to in-house this we would probably need to own $500M-$1B worth of infrastructure at the very least (web is vast). Yes then the cost per search would be lower.

Maybe it will sound strange, but I do not think of our goal as optimizing for growth and number of users. It is to optimize for sustainability and quality of product. Often these two incentives are opposite of one another. I see us as a small, boutique, premium search brand. I'd rather have us gain more users by improving the quality than by lowering the price.

Maybe I'm a bad networker because it would never occur to me to namedrop a famous relative. Nor do I know it would be that useful, unless you want to act as a second appointment secretary to your relative filtering out deals to bring them.

I imagine you could couchsurf to the various vacation properties off-season when they would otherwise be empty, which would be nice.
I don't think that's really an accurate account.

The Minimoog and Prophet 5 are both from the 1970s. Despite the Minimoog's status as a collector's item today, it had roughly the same retail price as the DX7 in the 1980s--around $2000 USD. The Prophet 5 was more expensive at $4000, but it was also an incredibly successful, flagship synthesizer.

Of the synthesizers listed--Prophet 5, Oberheim OB-Xa, and Minimoog, only the Minimoog was made primarily out of discrete components. The others relied heavily on integrated circuits from SSM or CEM. (Obviously they all contain discrete components--but the synth modules in a Prophet 5 or Oberheim OB-Xa are basically ICs with some support circuitry.)

Sequential went out of business after developing the Prophet VS. Although it bears the "Prophet" name, it is a digital (or hybrid) synthesizer. It uses wavetables (like the PPG), but four of them simultaneously, with a Curtis VCF. It had a novel architecture (therefore confusing), the synthesizer itself was expensive, and there were some QA issues. It used TMS DSPs plus some custom ICs designed by Sequential. Apparently, during the design of the Prophet VS, there were various problems with the ICs that were fixed with kludges--Sequential wasn't in a financial position to make revisions to the ICs.

In other words, the R&D cost for digital synths was too high.
Failed SPF/DKIM/DMARC doesn't trigger abuse reports through feedback loops. Marking messages as spam does.

These are cases where one party has decided to mark one or more emails as spam. None of the emails in question are bulk messages -- it's all sent from properly authenticated domains and most of the mails are from ongoing conversations. A lot of it's correspondence between private individuals, others between businesses.

Giving people a Junk button is a bad idea at scale. There's been a lot of discussion about this being a linguistical issue (that people don't realise Trash and Junk are different things), but I regularly see people marking entire conversations as Junk when they're angry about not getting an invoice's due date moved, or when arguing with a family member. The worst part is that people don't realise the Junk button often triggers a report to the sender's ESP. The contents of the reported emails are usually included, and in most cases the reports are read by someone else.

All this is also processed by spam filters, regardless if it's simple SpamAssassin/Bayes setups, or more advanced systems at Hotmail/Gmail.
Yes and cheaper still is to just use the computer you already have to be your synth. I don't think there are any advantages today of using an analogue synth. Software synths can not only do all those "fat" sounds but can do a really good job of synthesizing real instruments such as an acoustic piano. (see Pianoteq, for instance, which does not use sampling to create instrument sounds)

I find analogue synths pretty fascinating but if you are just using them to make music (as opposed to a hobby in themselves), there are far better ways, here in 2022.

Not to take anything away from Dave Smith, he was brilliant and his synths were the best you could get, in their day.
Since this is HN I just want to point out that $50 Billion will buy you 50 new exaflop systems [0]. That’s a lot of awfully big computers to use as web servers.

You could probably deploy most of the courseware using Netlify for a few grand per year. Then you could put that 50 billion in an endowment. I don’t really know how those work, but I’m guessing with a 5% return you’re making 2.5B/year giving you an extra 25k teachers at $100K each. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've used VERPs¹ sometimes, even for individual mail. It's a pity that so few general-purpose email clients will generate them out of the box. You can make it happen with MTA configuration, which is one of many reasons I still run my own mail server.

Thanks for saying this, it is not been discussed enough. The main reason I started Kagi was exactly to protect my own kids from being exposed to ads and tracking from the very young age.
I like the engineers I work with and the stuff we work on is unique, interesting, and challenging.
A lot of the older projects got started in the days when webforums, IRC, and Usenet were popular. Wesnoth must be over 20 years old by now if I remember accurately, some roguelikes are probably nearing 30 or 40. Nowadays it seems like people have specialized groups on Reddit/Facebook/Discord etc., but it all somehow feels much less discoverable and organic, or maybe I'm just getting old.
No, I'm the author of the original comment above, and I was saying when I listed my criteria for why I liked this one type of 5 dollar bag coffee that turned out pretty good, ethics weren't on that list.

This is nicely done. Finding a reasonable csv editor was a 'white whale' I searched for for some years. I found that with EmEditor (commercial, I'm not associated with them), the killer feature is swapping between normal text editor and csv cell based editing seamlessly. I still tell anyone I see dealing with csv's about it. I wish the macros weren't in their own language, but performance on large files is crazy fast.
DMARC is not a complete solution

Many email clients don't preserve message integrity when mail is forwarded, which breaks DKIM as well as SPF.

Mailing lists still alter message fields which break DKIM and they forward mail, which breaks SPF. Mailing list software is being brought up to date to deal with this, by adjusting the "From" header and re-signing the message with updated DKIM information.

Many users are still not evaluating their email with an educated, critical eye. All the automated checking in the world still can't stop a user clicking on a message sent from "PayPa1" <no_really_this_is_paypal@hotmail.com>.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and ARC at Fastmail: inbound mail
Fastmail checks SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and ARC on all inbound mail. Passing or failing these checks only alters a message's spam score; we do not outright reject mail, only mark it as more or less suspicious. We add a standard Authentication Results header to all received mail explaining the results of the authentication checks.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and ARC at Fastmail: outbound mail
We publish a relaxed SPF policy and DKIM-sign all outbound mail from our domains.

If you have a custom domain, you can set your SPF, DKIM and DMARC policy on your DNS screens. We have instructions if you host your DNS with us. If you use another DNS provider, you need to publish the correct records at your DNS provider.

Fastmail domains have a DMARC policy of none, which means recipient mail servers should report whether the message passes or not, but not change deliverability. This allows users to send mail using our domains from anywhere, for legacy reasons.

In the future we will publish a p=reject policy for our domains. This means to send with a From address at one of our domains, youʼll have to send through our servers.

Any mail which passes through our system on the way to another provider will be ARC sealed with the authentication results when the mail was received.

While implicitly converting floats to ints is bad, performing a float operation (especially multiplication or division) with an int is meaningful and should not be banned.

I can only have discrete buckets of things. These things have a floating point weight. What is the total weight? Forcing explicit conversion of your int to a float to do the multiplication is semantically wrong.

I could live with banning int + float or int - float.

It's almost as bad as go requiring you to convert a number to a time to figure out the integer multiple of a time interval.

The distinction between the envelope sender, and the From: header, is unfortunately lost on most people and ignored by many mail clients.

I'm not a big fan of react-native. I've tried it earlier and the app size is huge as it has to bundle so many things to make it work on android. So I prefer java/kotlin for android app which is compact and performant than react-native.

BTW I'm also checking if https://fyne.io/ can be used. I'll love to use golang for the app :)
> these steps would rarely be same between companies or even between different teams in the same company.

And the quality can differ a lot too. I used to think that k8s is not necessary, since our team has mastered both stateless and stateful app deployment on VM, with ansible calling aws/gcp API. Everything just works.

And then I joined another company, which has a hotchpotch of unorthodox terraform and ansible code and a homebrew service discovery layer, with frequent incidents in the early mornings, especially on weekends, when autoscaling of aws/gcp VM would fail due to a myriad of reasons.

With k8s, there is a minimum quality.

Email suffers from other problems. Chat protocols have the ability to be either. It is a small act of violence to expect a chat message warrants an immediate response.

To me, the most important feature of any messaging service is to queue up until I'm ready to respond. I'm either asleep or awake. And if I'm awake, I'm probably thinking of something else. It's a happier life if I finish that thought before starting a new one.
You should explain why you think your approach to learning is better. What are your theories and what are your expected results -- not someone else's. "improve" by itself means nothing so you should expect no interest if you leave it that way.

Brave is listed there as an open source alternative to Firefox (as well as Chrome and Edge). But isn't Firefox (which itself is not listed on this website) open source as well or am I missing something?

1)yes, if you're not needing 10bit, then AVISynth is fun and does some amazing things. Even it's features of doing technical restoration were useful, but once you step into professional, the 8bit only really holds things back and it was time to move on. FYI, a lot of the AVISynth filters are now available in FFMPEG!

2)gstreamer compared to ffmpeg to me personally is like comparing GIMP to Photoshop (dropping commercial vs FOSS). Yes, GIMP can do nice things, but Photoshop does what I need and I know how to make it do it. No questions asked. Muscle memory. I'm at that point with FFMPEG.

3)I'm long past trying to do creative things CLI that those 3rd party plugins allowed. I'm utilitarian with workflows and need to churn it out, so ffmpeg plugs in the holes as if it were designed for it ;-) If I'm going creative, I'm in a nice UI and doing things. However, I'm not afraid to use CLI to generate some content to messing with later in a more interactive environment.
Anyone who watched the case will dismiss this article very quickly, regardless of their gender.
Does anyone else think that those wanting to work fully remotely, should just become contractors and offer their services to companies? Forgo also job security (in those countries that offer that) and all other benefits associated with being a permanent employee? To me the work arrangement they describe fits well with contracting work and little with “joining” a company. I feel that it is unfair to have both. Contractors’ work by definition is unsupervised and they use their own tools. Joining a company full time means being part of the team, meeting your colleagues in the office, sharing the journey and feeling part of it. It can also include remote work but not as an absolute right that the company must provide.

That's what the anti-tax people often say but it's not economics 101; it's rhetoric 101 - say what sounds plausible with a lot of confidence.

The economics: First, people choose their locations based on many, many factors, including familiarity, investments, network, services, family, and, most of all, intertia - people generally don't move unless they have a strong motivation; generations stay in the same place. Second, many people prefer to live in communities that invest in themselves and their people. Finally, European countries generally don't have a lower tax burden.
Because it is a gold rush.

At $WORK, we wrote our own RPC framework that uses protobufs HTTP. gRPC wasn’t an option because our infrastructure couldn’t support HTTP/2 and we needed first-class Ruby support, something Google seems doesn’t seem to have much interest in. Twirp didn’t exist when we started building our framework, but I’m not sure it would satisfy our needs anyways.

connect-go looks very similar to what we’ve built. If you ever release Ruby bindings, there’s a strong chance we could switch to it. Nice work!
