I’m another long-time catch-all email address user.

1. That is how I knew that Dropbox had been hacked; I had a couple temp/throwaway Dropbox accounts and the otherwise-unused email addresses associated with them started getting lots of spam.

2. Yes, sometimes it is slightly awkward when a rep cannot comprehend companyname-at-mydomain, but not enough to make me regret anything. Smile. Say "it will reach me!" or "I own my own dot-com!" It’s fine.

3. "Did I use BR or bananarepublic before the at sign?" That’s why we use a password manager :-) The author says he uses one, but then suggests he needs to guess the email before the password manager will tell him the password? Sounds messed up. Use 1Password. Be happy.

4. The most interesting 'downside' is that sometimes I get spam for addresses that have never been used. Why? Because there are spammers out there who have scraped my website for anything resembling a human name (e.g. John Smith) and then sent emails to my domain that fit the typical pattern (jsmith@mydomain.tld). So, I blocked a number of these addresses. Had I not set up a catch-all, they would have otherwise been bounced.

5. "Every so often I need to email a company from one of these emails" -- The "from" problem of catch-alls is a bit tricky at times, but using Fastmail + PHP I can easily send "from" any address at my domain when needed.

6. I am a big fan of the Fastmail + 1Password 'masked email' solution! It’s so great! Sign up at a website, get a brand-new email address that seamlessly forwards to you, it gets stored in your password manager, and you can kill it whenever it starts getting spammed. The random username generation even avoids that problem of telling the Hilton rep that your email is Hilton@hacker.tld. Using masked emails instead of a catch-all would also avoid the minor problems of #4 and #5. Shout-out to iCloud's somewhat similar solution, but Fastmail+1Password really is top-tier!
The fares for this route have historically been dirt cheap, something like $95 one way was common. Adding your car was like $250. I moved from Florida to DC this way with all my possessions crammed into my car. It was pretty fun when they still had a dining car, had some great conversations with other passengers.

Yeah I'm on the edge too about domains. Will be switching to Gandi I think. I honestly don't know any good registrars at the moment.
Well written! Thanks
If public concensus is negative on crypto, the market shrinks. You can criticize crypto and support green energy at the same time.
Toyota and Honda are big into hydrogen. I get the feeling that both have some reservations about lithium batteries. Given the diverse power programs of both companies, it might just be hedging their bets.
Yeah my mention of gift was a red herring: I had assumed gift was being used but the same general problem (the "page garbage collection issue") crops up regardless.

If you don't use gift, you never know when the pages are free to use again, so in principle you need to keep writing to new buffers indefinitely. One "solution" to this problem is to gift the pages, in which case the kernel does the GC for you, but you need to churn through new pages constantly because you've gifted the old ones. Gift is especially useful when the page gifted can be used directly in the page cache (i.e., writing a file, not a pipe).

Without gift some consumption patterns may be safe but I think they are exactly those which involve a copy (not using gift means that a copy will occur for additional read-side scenarios). Ultimately the problem is that if some downstream process is able to get a zero-copy view of a page from an upstream writer, how can this be safe to concurrently modification? The pipe size trick is one way it could work, but it doesn't pan out because the pages may live beyond the immediately pipe (this is actually alluded in the FizzBuzz article where they mentioned things blew up if more than one pipe was involved).
Yes it is true that with improvement in maternal/fetal survivability modifiable lifestyle factors drastically dominate life expectancy. However that's a throw away line to disregard significant differences. It's basically zooming out far enough to say it doesn't matter.

And yes, its a speculative idea that I proposed, I certainly didn't suggest it was dogma. However this kind of observation is what would lead to a study.

Lastly, while this discussion is tangential to Google hiring practices, it is a related topic. I'm sorry if you feel like I robbed you of your time.
I was confused by this too. N64 texture mapping hardware has the same capabilities of current generation GPUs - perspective correction, automatic mip-level selection, bilinear/trilinear interpolation.

The blurriness on the N64 was down to the hardware requiring each texture fit into a 4KB cache (and games using low resolution video output to control pixel fill-rate).

The texture unit on the N64 is really powerful but the 4KB size limit and additional usage restrictions leads to its signature look:

- If you want texture repeats/wraps/clamps the texture dimensions must be power of 2.

- If you want mip-maps then you halve the size of the most detailed texture mip.

- If you want detail textures then you halve again (I think, bit fuzzy on that mode).

- If you want to use a color lookup (from 4 or 8bit pixel values) then the LUT takes 2 of your 4KB, even for 4bit pixels.

Most of the pixel formats have options for 1 or 4 bits of transparency, but transparent pixels render at half speed (and the alpha bits further eat into your 4KB limit).

For something like Goldeneye you are likely going to use as many 4 or 8bit mip-mapped, repeating, greyscale textures as possible (64x64 or 64x32) and use vertex tinting to add color. Everything will look a little monochromatic but you will be controlling blurriness as best you can!

On early 3d games the art team would spend enormous amounts of time hand tweaking individual pixels and carefully specifying texture formats per texture in order to get the most detail out of the available resolution. It wasn't all bad though, they had a couple orders of magnitude fewer textures to produce (than a current generation game) and their polygon counts were 2-3 orders of magnitude lower too!
I think you cover it, but from elapsed time, the average consumer use is mostly commute or errand based with the occasional (or weekend trip).

What this means is that if you fill gas 1-2x a week to handle the average 20 mile commute, you've saved 10 minutes because the refill of the electric is at home, with little effort.

Now you bank that 10 minutes every time you take any one way <~200 mile trip with electricity at the ends.

If you're doing regular multi region drives you are not average, you're likely in the top 1% of consumer long range trips.

To add, the longer and "more often" stops are healthier for you and your passengers; very few cars have a less than 200 mile range now, and if you're sitting for that period of time, moving (or at least not sitting) is a good idea to prevent deep vein thrombosis, the longer the better.
To be clear, race is also socially constructed; they're different cultures' ways of stratifying social categories. That said, all that matters for the law in this case is what the courts say.
Elon has things to show for these claims. His cars do self-drive, though not at an average human level yet. But if you've been following the progress, he is quickly approaching that point.

Same with neuralink, it's not just words.
Right. That's the policy that's bad.

Odd man out: I'm not comfortable with ipv6 in a world of Facebook and Google, and oddly enough they're the ones pushing the hardest for it. And before you lecture me how privacy extensions and address blocks, I think the beauty of ipv4 is NAT works and is the default, providing plausible deniability as a core feature. If ipv6 did the same, I'd be onboard.

Ipv6 drops so many legacy features of ipv4 and provides flow identification as part of the protocol. It's a damned shame in my opinion, as I do think it was designed "Better".
I think you're right that the same problem applies without SPLICE_F_GIFT. One of the other fizzbuzz code golfers discusses that here: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/239848

I wonder if io_uring handles this (yet). io_uring is a newer async IO mechanism by the same author which tells you when your IOs have completed. So you might think it would:

* But from a quick look, I think its vmsplice equivalent operation just tells you when the syscall would have returned, so maybe not. [edit: actually, looks like there's not even an IORING_OP_VMSPLICE operation in the latest mainline tree yet, just drafts on lkml. Maybe if/when the vmsplice op is added, it will wait to return for the right time.]

* And in this case (no other syscalls or work to perform while waiting) I don't see any advantage in io_uring's read/write operations over just plain synchronous read/write.

I'd recommend Namecheap, they have active customer support. Only minus is I couldn't use Let's Encrypt with them.
There were numerous skeptical articles written about Bernie Madoff during the years he was running his Ponzi scheme. Nothing came of them. Regulators generally don't step in until the system is already blowing up.

Not exactly answering your question, but given the current market conditions I do not think growth is the characteristic to be biasing towards. Companies who are growing via burning tons of cash are already in trouble, or soon will be. Rewind 12 months and the story was quite different. Speaking personally when it comes to investment into specific company stocks, I have moved mine into companies that are net cash flow positive. The logic being that they are better positioned to ride out the storm.

Just like fish, trees aren't real. There's no single evolutionary branch where we go from non-tree to tree. What we call trees are speckled throughout without seeming rhyme or reason.

It's mostly because our fuzzy definitions of things are just that, fuzzy. Tall, thick, bark-covered plant? Yeah, tree. Water-breathing legless animal? Fuck it, fish.

Tomatoes are fruits and everyone loves this fact. But so are bell peppers. And I think cucumbers. In fact, most vegetables are technically fruits (anything with a fruiting body is a fruit). And half the nuts are legumes. And legumes are fruits. And all fruits are also vegetables. Because vegetables are the part of plants we eat. But most vegetables are some other sort of plant life.

So in short, our classifications and definitions are more what you'd call "guidelines".
I just started a podcast a few weeks ago [1] where I interview other folks who work at Microsoft to answer the question that I often had back when we had company meetings: what do all of these people do? I was surprised that I hadn't heard of Supercast before. At what point does it make sense for me to start thinking about services like Supercast? Is there a threshold of # subscribers, downloads, some other metric that makes sense?

I'm not sure. It's kind of the same thing. If they can't make the car any other way because they're not capable of inventing equally good tech, meh.

Like Apple allegedly did PR stunts to slander Qualcomm, to make them look bad despite creating incredibly good tech for the baseband, without which you couldn't eg have an app store because the apps wouldn't have the same bandwidth. No iPhone without it. So they pitched the jury emotional appeals, like "does this seem fair to you?" with Qualcomm's demands.

They just couldn't get the tech working, that was the real problem. Qualcomm had a legitimate inventor's monopoly from my perspective. And secondly, in terms of algorithms, Qualcomm actually hires algorithm engineers whereas Apple appears not to as much. Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Intel, Synopsys, AMD, ARM, those guys hire algorithm designers the most. Well I suppose Apple must because they make chips, so Pennsylvania Semiconductor (IIRC). The difference between algorithms is much greater than the difference between eg mechanical engines, the efficiency improvement scales up, so a 10% difference at one scale becomes 40% if you double the scale.

My point is algorithms are highly elitist and there will ordinarily be one design downstream that everyone wants, and it will be highly protected by IP law. The alternative is to come up with a better one independently, nobody's stopping anybody from doing that, but this turns out daunting and expensive.
I know from my music days that everyone was expected to learn the piece on their own, or in small groups (for instance, on vocal pieces people would assemble to learn the group piece and then work on uniformity of tone), and then when we would go to rehearsal the point of it would be to iron out timings and building a feel for the piece as a whole.

The only hotspot moments were when you were doing solo or standout work, which by necessity would mean that you would be rehearsing your sections with the whole group as, for instance, if a random tenor dropped a note that can be covered by everyone else, but if the soloist does it then it can make the whole ensemble look bad.
You're right that the energy cost is incurred at the block-level, but since each block can hold a certain number of transactions, you can then infer what the effective cost is per transaction. The source for kWh per transaction comes from Digiconomist's bitcoin energy consumption index, and you can find their methodology here: https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption#assumpti...

How can you loose something, less than 200 years old, to time ?!
In general, "law-stuff" uses the definitions specified in the law. If a word isn't defined, then they can look at how other laws define the word. Then they could look at the definition in a dictionary. This is established process.

The proper way to get this useful thing done is for the legislature to amend the law to be more inclusive.
The largest fault in the practical (life) applications of probabilistic thinking is that estimating the odds in real-time is often impossible. Poker is a constrained environment where the odds are computable.

It's a useful framework for thinking in various situations, but it is almost never going to reduce to an equation that can tell you some objectively correct answer or decision.

It doesn't.[0] Nothing about Starlink inherently requires the dish to be stationary. Starlink is being integrated into several airlines[1][2] over the next year, and I'm certain other airlines are exploring Starlink as an option... the existing in-flight internet options are terrible, so Starlink could make a real difference there, especially over the oceans.

Proper support for moving vehicles probably benefits significantly from a dish designed for that, but airlines, trains, cruise ships, yachts... there are many markets where such a dish would be valuable, so Starlink would be pretty dumb not to be designing one that works well for that.

Hawaiian Airlines certainly isn't planning to just bolt the existing dish to the outside of the plane and hope for the best.

>It's unnatural to eat burnt meat or take an aspirin.

Agreed.

>Flameframing a complex issue with dictionary pedantry for messageboard battle is exactly the sort of thing the GP is talking about.

I'm unsure what "flameframing" is but I don't think it's pedantic to define a term that that is key to OP's account of what defines a bigot.
Ask HN: Are there any high-level TUI tools?
I've been using LazyGit [1] for a while and its made me realize how much easier a terminal ui can make things. It often makes me wish there was a TUI for the specific workflows I have when working in a given repo. Are there any programs that take some config file and produce a TUI as output? Eg. you have a file with a list of commands and aliases and it produces the corresponding TUI? Or are there any libraries which take minimal effort to add TUI elements to?

Definitely. I’m sure there’s other great email providers and would recommend people do their research :) I just already use Fastmail and while I was already forwarding some emails there, this just expedited the full migration.

"Nowhere in sight" is a lie. You can clearly see the progress of FSD beta. The last one is quite good.
Note that there are other 'cues' as well that casteists use to identify your caste, such as the food you eat (veg/non-veg), the social rituals/ceremonies or religious practices you engage in. In fact, you'd see enough Brahmins (in the US!) wear the scared thread[1] and embrace the entire identity of being at the 'top' of the caste system that knowing that you are a non-brahmin is sufficient for them to treat you as a Dalit.

>but you’ve got to think about the idea that the folks who conducted this study know as well how hard science is, and for them to publish this anyway means they (and their reviewers) did a pretty good job dealing with this issue (and many others).

What makes you say that about this paper specifically? Certainly in general there are career incentives for authors to publish papers which are not very conclusive, and we know that relatively useless observational studies do get published.
I didn’t start in tech, I know what working in “the world” is like. When I’m asking about the burnout I am not asking from the position of a delicate Victorian maiden who can’t entertain the thought of labor. What I am asking is how someone can live where every waking moment appears to be hell bent on growth without any sort of goal in mind.

Reading through the article I never got the sense the author was ever going to be happy. It seemed like ever getting comfortable in a position in life or work gave them some sort of dread that kept spurring them to move on to more work. That kind of constant fear based stress response causes most humans(and other animals) to just collapse at some point

yeah but just from mechanisms.. small organic solvent molecules aren't like, a promising target for antiaging treatments.. most solvents are bad for you, for obvious reasons, that is, they interfere with cellular chemistry and they have to be metabolized by the liver in large quantities. seems ridiculous to think alcohol would have any positive effects-- as a drug, it's just so shitty. I mean, you have to take 20g+ to get a physiological effect. The whole experience of having it in your system is dominated by the processes trying to get it /out/ of your system!

Folks who drink alcohol should consider taking safer and more powerful drugs.
Sheryl Sandberg's Advertising Jackpot
Ask HN: Do you prefer Svelte or SolidJS?
Hello,

I want to find enthusiastic OSS frontend developers for my JSON data store project[1], which is able to retain the full revision history of a database resource (binary JSON) through small sized copy-on-write snapshots of the main index tree of tries and a novel sliding snapshot algorithm.

As I'm a fan of compilers (http://brackit.io) I think either working on the current frontend with Svelte[2], which is currently really dated and uses Sapper or a new frontend using SolidJS would be great.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of both frameworks in your opinion? I'm a backend software engineer, but maybe SolidJS is more familiar to frontend devs because of JSX and at least in benchmarks it seems to be faster. But maybe the differences except for the different syntaxes aren't that big.

I envision visualizations for comparing revisions of resources or subtrees therein and also to visualize time travel queries. A screenshot of the old frontend: https://github.com/sirixdb/sirix/blob/master/Screenshot%20from%202020-09-28%2018-50-58.png

Let me know which framework you'd prefer for the task at hand and what are the advantages/disadvantages in your opinion for both of them in general.

If you want to help, it's even better. Let me know :-)

What an exceptionally wasteful idea.

Luckily, there is no signal for harm from coffee, so we can randomize a bunch of healthy people and see if there is an effect. Personally, I'd want to see a higher quality of evidence before spending my time on it, but if people believe it, this is one of the most important studies in the history of human health waiting to be written.
The headline is funny, but the opinion is boring and obvious. The act itself defines the term "fish":

‘[f]ish’ means a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate,
amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.”

It's just a technicality. A statute was written using the term "fish" in a bunch of places, and rather than replace "fish" with "fish, mollusk, invertebrate, &c" in every place where that term was used, they just changed the definition. Every statute you'll ever read has explicit definitions, presumably for this exact reason.

Fun fact: for a time, according to Dave Arnold, the Catholic church defined beavers as meat, but beaver tails as fish. You could eat the tail on a Friday, but not the rest of the beaver.
This keeps being bandied around as a reason to NOT switch to Fastmail, but the truth of the matter is: if I need to get in touch with Fastmail support, I can. Easily.

That itself makes up the difference.

Admittedly, the more important part is maintaining your own custom domain, so you can switch email providers with a simple DNS update.
There are a lot. The biggest for me is that texts take around 10 seconds to send, so having long conversations isn't really practical.
I think these criticisms miss the point - requiring that devices betray their owner, instead of be loyal to them, is a dangerous line to cross. Since so much of our activity is now mediated by computers, this would turn our society into a panopticon prison.
