I have the complete opposite experience. I now have multiple usb PD chargers that work flawlessly with my laptop, phone, tablet, other people's laptops, ... . This is a really big improvement! Oh, and my screen just has a usb c cable; connect it and you get 4k/60Hz and power and keyboard and mouse without any problems.

In contrast my Laptop's HDMI port only does 30Hz (older Thinkpad X1) and to get 60Hz via HDMI I need a usb c to HDMI adapter (which, again, works completeley hassle free).

There probably are some cases where usb c vs thunderbolt 3 vs usb 4 would matter, e.g. if you want fast storage and ethernet together with the screen connection. However, that would not have been any easier before usb c.
Ask HN: Developers who published a book, how did it influence your career?
Writing a book is hard work and takes a long time. Most companies I worked for aren't even interested in looking at a GitHub profile.

Did writing a book give you an edge at a big company, or opened up possibilities? If so, how and what?
“All the electricity you need for a low, fixed fee”
Jonas Birgersson became an internet pioneer by promising and delivering all the internet you need for $20 a month. Now he believes that the same thing can be done with electricity. "For a low, fixed price, you have all the electricity you need."
Can agree with this. Having slogged through the learning process of setting up DMARC and DKIM to supplement SPF, this site was a great help and allowed me to confirm my setup (Postfix and Dovecot) was behaving as expected and needed.

The only issue I have with a Postfix setup is providing an easy-to-use out of office auto-reply facility - I have tried the manual approach and also some scripted solutions but they don't seem to work reliably and, inevitably, I get comments from colleagues (it's a small, family-run business), that they just want to be able to turn on an auto-reply in Outlook (which is used as a front end for multiple inboxes on different mail services) and for it to 'just work'.

I agree with your points, though I was mainly thinking of plain USB-C, not TB.

The former seems more and more common among monitors, so it should be easier to find the kind of monitor you want.

But it's also true that it's probable for your connectivity needs to change before you want to change the monitor.

Hey thanks for taking the time to write this out. I wrote that post, and I use ProtonMail and have basically nothing but good experiences with them so far.

I don't consider them "Big Email" just by literal meaning (they're very small)

> The worry I have with something like Gmail or Outlook is that they can just take away your access to your inbox without reason or recourse, but it’s never actually happened to anyone I know. It happened with ProtonMail though - I set up an account for a family member, updated some of their online registrations to point to it, then a couple of days later it was locked out permanently.

This is pretty terrible, but I'm coming at it from a oligopoly-break-up angle, and hadn't heard any such stories about ProtonMail.

I'll try to update the post to serve as a better example, but I hesitate to do so without at least suggesting something (other than self hosting, obviously) that is a similarly easier option. What do you recommend instead? Fastmail?

To anyone who thinks that I agree with what I said you are misunderstanding the way I said it. I'm just stating how things are. Cost of living is what dictates pay along with the value that you provide to a company but with remote work that gets adjusted to what the local cost of living is.

Plus I don't work. I'm disabled I collect SSI I get like $10,000 a year. That's it! I can't have more than $2k in my bank account. I can't invest. So uh, have fun making tons of money I could only imagine.

In many cases, glyphs have distinct codepoints because they had one in some legacy encoding, and Unicode was intended to be able to roundtrip any text in those encodings.

Tests make refactoring slower, because you might have to also update the tests. On the other hand, in a complex enough code base, refactoring is impossible without sufficient test coverage. You can rely on the tests to catch edge cases that you weren't aware of in areas of products built on top of architecture you are maintaining.

Sometimes, all 50 of those stupidly over-complex tests that people have copy-pasted around are garbage that get in the way of your refactor, but sometimes one of them is protecting some important functional requirement that you didn't think about like "Test that this code called from a tight loop doesn't query the db hundreds of time which would lead to the startup time taking minutes rather than seconds".

This is absolutely a real problem, but I think WFH has really only exposed the issue of most peoples lack of real community, rather than causing it.

Since starting a new job a few months ago, I reached out to some former tech colleagues that live close by, and meet up every few weeks at a local pub. It's kind of of like a meetup, but there's no agenda, speakers, or specific tech focus. People are encouraged to organically invite other people that fit the group, which has seen it grow from three to twelve people in about three months.

I honestly think it's one of the best tech groups I've been part of, and has been a big part of keeping me sane in my 100% WFH job.
Find a hobby or pursuit that you are very into and that requires sobriety to execute. Coding, working on a side hussle, Arduino, amateur drama, etc.
> They shouldn’t criticize something they haven’t experienced, it’s a lack of integrity.

"They" do not exist. You completely fabricated an hypothesis where you "wondered" how many people criticized Meta's horizon worlds in spite if never trying them out.

Your "very poor cop out" is the strawman you put together.
I had a financial advisor connected to a bank. I applied for a credit card there and followed up on the rejection at the number they gave. (I might have had to ask the advisor to intervene, not sure.) I got through to the CC people, they asked me a few more questions (previous employment[1]) and then approved one with a low limit. From then on I built a history.

Edit: ah, you’re the OP. Did you have that same issue, where sites would assure you you have a good credit score even as you keep getting rejected on any credit application?

[1] If they lean further on credit reports as a job applicant filter, that could turn into an even worse catch-22!
> What do you recommend instead? Fastmail?

FastMail and Mailbox spring to mind as the premiere ‘alternate’ e-mail hosts. I’ve heard decent things about Tutanota but have never used them so can’t speak to it.

I'm coming from a hackintosh with 64GB of RAM. My workloads vary, from compiling apps, 4K video editing/rendering, gaming, etc. I keep loads of tabs open (safari though), and rarely reboot and don't close apps for days.

I bought a Mac Studio with 64GB, but I really feel I could have gotten 32GB and it would have been fine.

That said, reading your workload and apps you use, I would get 32GB. Keep in mind that the capacity of your SSD also determines the speed which helps in the event the OS needs to swap, so maybe don't go for the smallest SSD.

Ok, advertising companies are targeting everyone in sight, including little kids, making Internet as addictive as crack so that people would waste their time and life just so that they could make more money. Then they are selling all the behavioral data to everyone who will pay. And this Nimbus project is the "future of evil"? Not even close, as far I am concerned.

I really don’t get this perspective. People act like you need one self-referential struct and suddenly you’ve gotta switch languages.

Just use unsafe! That’s what it’s there for. You can use internally-unsafe semantics to expose an externally-safe API and nobody needs to care.

You get the Rust’s safety benefits everywhere else (not to mention all the other nice parts) and your unsafe code is limited only to the areas it’s truly necessary.

It’s Time to Remember Tolkien
A twenty-two-year-old version of this, the Joel Test: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s....

1. Do you use source control?

2. Can you make a build in one step?

3. Do you make daily builds?

4. Do you have a bug database?

5. Do you fix bugs before writing new code?

6. Do you have an up-to-date schedule?

7. Do you have a spec?

8. Do programmers have quiet working conditions?

9. Do you use the best tools money can buy?

10. Do you have testers?

11. Do new candidates write code during their interview?

12. Do you do hallway usability testing?

It's interesting to reflect on how things have changed. Source control is not even a question anymore. Quiet working conditions, not a chance unless remote. Schedule? Spec? Testers? Never seen 'em. Do new candidates write code during interviews? Oh boy, do they ever.
Thanks for posting this, honestly I was unaware this had been happening as widely to others. Wild.

> Could there be a serverless alternative where the service wakes up only to receive emails and will be charged only when emails are processed, filtered and served & rest of the time no charge - avoiding $3 to $5 charged by behemoths per inbox?

I love ideas as much as the next guy and serverless email is kind of floating out there:

https://github.com/arithmetric/aws-lambda-ses-forwarder

https://github.com/0x4447/0x4447_product_s3_email

It's possible to build it, but the problem is that you still have the same problem of deliverability. Obviously it works fine/great for receving emails though.

> Idea is how cheap can it go for personal inbox with all the features denied by the superlative pricing plans

It could get really cheap, but would people buy it? I always wonder if price is really the limiting factor for self hosted emails.

Zoho is already QUITE cheap: https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html

Maybe this would work as a business, but it's a bit questionable to me.

They are, if the new node is cheap enough to justify the investment in shrinking the design. In most ASICs, being faster won’t make people rip out their embedded electronics for new models.
And what if it breaks? You can't really have only one ambulance either way.

But even then, OK, you could argue that in some specific scenarios you need an ICE ambulance. That does not mean that ambulances can't be EV.
Ah yes, because having security makes it okay.
Most states are not clearly red or blue. Most all of the big cities are blue, most of the countryside is red. Even texas is not 65% conservative on voting; less than 5% shift and it would be a tossup or democratic. Maybe a few states like wyoming would go clearly one way but a vast amount of states would not be able to all go one way (think of california). So the outcome of a real us split would be chaos, terror, mixed states.

I'm in a very blue state, but the rural population (30% maybe) is a different world of wealth, education, politics, population density. We subsidize their economy by building infrastructure there they can't afford (like roads and bridges). This causes endless arguing at the state level. I think a lot of the states are like this with varying % in the two groups.
Tutanota I did hear something negative about -- they're beholden to the German government (not to necessarily say that others aren't -- ultimately nation-states tend to get their way), but I'm willing to include it if the community generally trusts it/is OK with the tradeoff.

It's not always obvious that you're mixing signed and unsigned, though.

I think the biggest source of these kinds of bugs is because size_t is unsigned but ptrdiff_t is signed. So the moment you mix pointer subtraction with sizeof, footguns abound.
What really boils my shit is when I explain where I currently am and what are the current problems and the customer / boss just scoffs and says "well just do X, duh!". Happened many times and happily I managed to tell 90% of these people to eff off.

Currently working with one guy on a startup idea and he's often like that. I understand his side of the bargain is not easy either and perhaps my problems as a tech-cofounder and very likely a future CTO in the company (if the idea, funding and market fit take off) might seem trivial to him but... it's just disrespectful and infuriating all-around.

He knows his stuff and that's what drew me to him. But this continued ignorant disrespect I can't tolerate much longer. He's also genuinely baffled and surprised when I blow up. I don't know how much more time I can last like that. I am considering ditching him.
What evidence could be provided here though?

The evidence would be the e-mail account which PM now hold and aren’t going to give over.

I didn’t say it happened more than once, if anything I was saying once was enough and it was a risk I didn’t want to take ever again.

Also, I hadn’t realised this before, but a reply further down the thread has linked to many instances of this happening on reddit.
If you used an immigration lawyer to apply for permanent residency, you can't use the portal to make those updates, because the original visa is not associated to your portal account.

So your only other option besides emailing the form, is to print it and bring it in person to an office.

I know this, because this was my situation until recently.

A few months ago I changed my PR subclass and the new application was done using the portal. Which means that I can finally use the portal to update my details.

Why are you so sure? Don't your Appartment not use any oven or hair dryer or dryer at all?

At minimum you can easily charge a car with 1.5kwh. that's less than a oven which might just eat 5-6 kWh while baking stuff.

It might need a little bit of smart charging, given, but we know how to build this.

In Germany it's expected that ev add 10% to the current energy consumption.

It's btw more efficient to burn the gas for energy in highly efficient big power plants were it's also much easier to filter the shit out and then using electronic engines (EVs) just because engines are that inefficient.

And in worst case we will still be able to have ice were it is really not doable until it is.

Admittedly WEBSOCKETS are a blind spot for me. Django does support that but it is not in my tool belt yet

Just the first question gives me shivers. The end user device is an entry point into any organization, of extremely high risk. PAM solutions, with proper logging and time bound limits to what needs to be done as root, exist and should be leveraged. Not everybody is Google, for better or worse.
Drinking wine.

In Ye Olden Days in the UK some fermented beer was 'drinking water'.

In Ye Olden Days yeast strains were not the ones we have today. The yeast got killed by alcohol at a lower concentration. Drinking wine or beer all the time was fine when it was as weak as shandy.

Waaait a minute!

People used to drink lightly alcoholised drinks made from natural ingredients, recycling their receptacles? And now we pay for bottled water laced with plastics that render mankind infertile?

I am going back to the old ways!
The hard thing is reliable sending. Receiving is easy, you just point an MX record somewhere. And the two are separate concepts. For cheap reliable sending, you can set up AWS SES with DKIM/SPF etc. Unless you're sending large volumes it costs basically nothing. That's my 2c.
