I’ve exercised probably 90% of days for the last ten years. Days when I don’t are just rest days or travel days. To be honest, I think it’s best just to make it a habit like brushing your teeth. Working out is just what you do, and it’s a weird day if you don’t. Being highly motivated is kind of fleeting and just boring routine is more important.
Minimal LinkedIn profile for discovery purposes is what I always had in mind - yet it got restricted several times without me doing anything offensive to LinkedIn, just using general privacy-enhancing measures.

The static link is a good idea!

But my question remains how I can prevent getting restricted. I have already had two profiles, with somewhat similar CVs, in one where I'm called John Doe and in the other Doe John (my name makes permuting these less obvious). So I guess I can't keep going like this, because at some point my entire name and CV will be tainted after too many restricted attempts. I need to get it right the next time, to not be restricted.

Regarding the legitimate communications: I am actually positive about this, because a big part of LinkedIn are connections. If I (somehow) manage to have an account that doesn't get restricted within weeks so that I can actually add my peers, I will have a number of high visible and important people endorsing me (well known professors and researchers). That should give my profile a lot of value, I think?

At the same time it would not compromise my privacy, other than that a part of my professional network is public - but that is public anyhow since it can be derived (with some work) my articles, so not much is actually lost.
Sending emails with dkim + sfp and I never had big problems with reachability and a postfix server on Digital Ocean.

I haven't done it since last year though.
Has something gone terribly wrong?

I remember debugging issues with email sent via aws ses to Hotmail addresses at $dailyJob but I can't think of a single Microsoft product that works well (windows, teams, azure, now even GitHub is starting to work every other day) so it doesn't surprise me.
Likewise. I still mainly use Ruby or Go for writing CLIs, but I would much, much rather use Elixir. escript is nice but still requires the target to have erlang installed. Being able to produce a statically-linked binary would be enough to just use elixir only, which is my dream.
Change is not progress.

It took millennia for us to go from emojis to characters and the few societies that did ended up dominating the world because of the increases in efficiency. Now we're heading in the other direction because literacy is too hard.
I think it is different. With Piracy people want something (product/service/media). The quote from Gabe is about the fact that they are willing to pay for it, if it is convenient and affordable.

Nobody wants spam or the things promoted in the spam. The companies want attention from the users. I think the better version is targeted ads on Facebook, etc. Maybe that’s the closest analogy to Gabe’s quote.
I was looking for a dock for a MacBook M1, and was going to buy some $300 box (and there were no absolutely reassuring reviews for any of them) and was compiling the similar looking table - when I noticed that my Dell U2721DE has a sound jack… and an Ethernet jack - and does not have any problems docks have, like overheating.

So the Dell monitor is connected to 3 computers now, it switches sound depending on the video source (!) : USBC, DisplayPort and HDMI all pass sound to my headphones. And Ethernet stays with USBC box - exactly what I wanted. I still need a keyboard/mouse switch but overall “Display as a dock” setup turned out very good for me.

"You are in control of your data. Leon lives on your server"

Speech-to-Text: Google Cloud, IBM Watson, Coqui STT, Alibaba Cloud (coming soon), Microsoft Azure (coming soon)

So the AI assistant lives on my server, but if I want to have good quality speech recognition, everything I say is sent through a US cloud service. The only offline option, Coqui has a 7.5% word error rate [1] on LibriSpeech test clean, which is worse than Mozilla Deepspeech 2 from 2016 [2]. State of the art would be around 1.4% [3], meaning 81% less errors than Coqui.

Proper, artisanal self-hosting of email can still be viable depending on your expectations and tolerance levels for random issues.

These days, I operate with the medium-temperature bowl of porridge: AWS WorkMail with custom domains & users. My use case is basically "Replace gmail for personal email". I don't have a lot of patience for running an actual email server, so this is about as custom as I can get.

Running a custom email domain can have other practical implications, such as having to carefully re-iterate spelling when mentioning your email address over the phone to a customer support agent. With a gmail or hotmail account, virtually everyone can type that hostname in without thinking about it. This concern is moderated by being able to select a username with fewer than 5 characters, rather than your full legal name appended with your date of birth.
I bought an N9 and had a very similar experience, and still look back on it warmly. It was an absolute joy to use, and I think the sleekest and most pleasant UX I've ever used.

Elop really robbed Nokia of what could have been an incredible product.
For most of the world, that's what it does: it only answers to US courts [1]. I'm sure you can imagine that this will only be a way for major crimes (murder, maybe, state level espionage and large scale ransom ware attacks, probably), essentially shielding all the common criminals like DDOS-for-hire from prosecution outside the US.

From their policy:

Cloudflare has long held the view that non-US governments should have to follow the same due process requirements to obtain any records about our customers. A number of US laws, like the Stored Communications Act or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act restrict companies from providing particular types of data, such as the content of communications, to any person or entity, including foreign law enforcement agencies, without US legal process. While there may be situations in which it might be appropriate to provide basic subscriber information in response to non-US legal process that complies with principles of due process, we generally believe that the best way forward at this time is for governments outside the United States to issue requests to us through a US court by way of diplomatic process like a mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) request.

> they obviously didn't put any effort into the syntax

This is an incredibly arrogant and ignorant statement to make, especially for someone who self-describes as "looking only occasionally into Rust". A whole lot of thought has been put into Rust's syntax.

> The result is that the language reads partly like C++

My impression is that a certain amount of this was intentional; if their goal is to attract C++ developers, they can't scare them off with syntax that's wildly alien. Rust took the parts of C++ syntax that made sense to keep and that fit into Rust's semantics, refined/modernized/distilled them, sanded off the rough edges and ambiguities, and presented something cohesive that's still familiar.

The syntax isn't without warts - turbofish comes to mind - but overall I find it pleasant and comfy (and I'm not even a C++ developer). I appreciate that it makes a lot of things explicit that should be explicit. Fewer characters doesn't automatically mean better readability; in many cases it can mean the opposite.
has anyone tried their M1 Pro with 2 4K monitors, one at 120/ 144 and the other at 60 using 1 cable? I think it's theoretically possible with compression but I'm afraid of compatibility issues
Yeah 200MHz band guard is a massive guard. You can fit all of the FM band 4-5 times in that range. Also the resonate frequency water has a high attenuation factor so radio waves wouldn't be used there because they transferred a huge portion of there power to heat vibration water.

As for use cases it's a faster network in latency terms. There might be fewer use cases for it now but there were no use cases for WiFi before wifi exist. Once that infrastructure is built people will use it. By definition it's impossible to get a latency of less than 10ms on a large portion of LTE networks. If you have a sensor that requires a response that fast you simply won't use LTE because it's not possible to meet those mission requirements.

5G also has that beam forming whose goal is reduce congestion and solve the penetration issues but that is still being proven
Reminds me of this fun story:

A person at a company mistakenly created an email list segment (or lack thereof) resulting in an email to the entire email list of hundred of thousands of emails. This combined with inexistent (we were a naive startup without an email specialist role) list hygiene practices meant we were blacklisted by Gmail after some time.

Took a year to get a hold of someone on Gmail's spam team. We found out were on 4+ Gmail blocklists, some of which were ML-based. We couldn't do anything to remove ourselves after we fixed the issues. A $1-2 million revenue channel dried up because we couldn't get out of the Gmail blackhole (short of rebranding completely, rewriting content, and using a different ESP). Fun times.
I've often thought, what if early CRT hackers (or, say, Apple) had designed fonts where characters could have widths of 1, 2, or 3 units, such that (for example) "W" and "M" would be 3-wide and "i" an "l" and "." would be 1-wide. Might this have lessened the desire for variable-pitch fonts, and sped GUI innovation in general ?
This reply doesn't assume best intent. I've ridden many ebikes and the effort is so clearly lower, to the point that it feels about the same as walking 1-2 mph. Maybe I ride it differently than everybody else somehow.
I started working out 6 months ago for the first time, with a personal trainer. I had tried a few times to do it on my own or with a friend, but with a friend it's too hard to coordinate schedules, and without a pro, it's too easy to get hurt (tore my shoulder up the first day and it took a year to sort of heal).

Hiring a good trainer has lots of advantages:

- you don't have to think about what you need to do

- they show you safe vs unsafe movements and keep you safe during training

- it's an appointment, so you're less likely to miss. My trainer doesn't normally charge for missed appointments (too nice IMO) but I pay by the month so I have to pay if I miss

- my trainer creates several circuits of 3-5 exercises and they are done 3-5 times each. The circuits are designed so that different muscles are used in each exercise, ie, "active resting", so an entire workout can fit in a half an hour for example.

If you have the funds, highly recommend hiring a trainer. Now I actually enjoy working out 4x a week for 45 minutes.

Bitcoin's Price May Crash After Ethereum's 'Merge,' Researcher Says
Yes and thank god they do. I watched it several times so I could better understand what happened in this scenario and what an evil person may do if I find myself unarmed with a pile of people in a confined space like this. I learned that hiding in the corner resulted in piles of people simply ending up getting shot, and that immediately exiting out through windows and other less expected exit points greatly aided survivors. This is counter to idiotic advice my teachers gave me, like hiding under chairs and desks, which the shooter in Uvalde took advantage of to massacre virtually all the children in their room.

After watching the videos I came up with a plan as to what to do if an evil person ever enters close quarters building and I have no way to fight back. Only by watching such a gruesome video with such explicit results did it really drive home what the stakes are. I truly believe Kiwifarms may save lives by keeping up this video.
I’ll take that over advertising any day of the week. This isn’t remotely as misleading or damaging as half the ads I see on Facebook or Instagram every day.

> how your body feels after a run, is one of the best motivators to do it again

Last summer I stupidly went hard on one or two of the hot AF days (30C) and went 5-6 miles or so then got home feeling like I’d had the wind kicked out of me.

Needless to say, for the next few weeks my body would feel… scared(?) to go for a run and I had to skip more than a few just from the feeling of apprehension. Now I try to run slow and get home feeling moderately exerted and I actually look forward to my runs.

In fact, if I run in the morning, I get the blues after work because I don’t have a run to go on anymore!
Satiation is more complicated then that. You can eat pure fat or pure sugar and neither option will make you feel full. Both will also cause malnutrition in you, no matter how much of them you consume.

In a situation like that, it's a question of when, not if, someone will find you.
For a month now, I've been getting up at 5am every day to go cruising around my empty city on a skateboard, as a complete noob. It's changed my life substantially for the better. I've been very interested to figure out where I found this implausible level of... motivation? self-discipline? I'm not the sort of person to expect such from myself. Where did this unexpected success come from, and how can I attempt to continue it -- what does its forward extrapolation look like?

Your comment resonates with me as very plausible. All the places I skate, for practical reasons, happened to be nature-rich parks that are the most aesthetic and pleasant places to be around. The sort of places that I'd lounge all day in, if I had an *excuse* to, if it made any sense to sit around all day on a park bench in the autumn chill. The sort of places my phone is stuffed with random photos I take of. (God-rays through the tree leaves! Cool squirrel!) Maybe I shouldn't discount these minor psychological factors, this atavistic familiarity with nature? Maybe it does have an outsized influence on my actions. I wonder.
If CF is going to police the internet then they had better do it fairly and justly. I do not believe CF is equip to do that, and neither does Prince. That is the issue here as evidenced by the parent and GP being unclear on the rules. It’s very hard not to see this decision to terminate KF as a corporate knee jerk.
As a non-Googler I'm very curious how much Google lets you check out onto your dev machine. I'm assuming it's less than "oh, yeah, just clone locally that shard of the prod gmail DB to debug that weird thing," but I would love to know how much less.

Some of the companies I've worked that let me do the most with my machine were also the strictest about "real" work and data remaining off of personal machines in favor of remote (and non-admin) access to shared resources.

Assuming that developers can never be privacy, confidentiality, or other sorts of information security/compliance risks is silly.

I think a much better question would be "how are information security and privacy controls implemented" so you know if it meshes with how you want to work and what you think is appropriate for the sorts of data involved. Super-draconian policies for trivial data would be frustrating - but super-lax ones for sensitive customer personal information would be its own different red flag.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying that index funds are driving individual equities? If so, why do you think that? Because of broad market correlation?
> ... [They use] spam as a scapegoat to nerf deliverability and stifle competition.

Disagree. It was a way too open protocol to begin with. From a time of innocence best suited for places with inherit trust like inside a business. And it's not just spam. Phishing is also a huge issue.

As much as I want to sympathise, Email for the big WWW is unsalvageable IMO. Too many bad actors are out there.

> [Solution:...] * There should be a recourse for legitimate servers

This is the same Big tech story. They want to cut cost, you want a human touch. You can see similar stories here in HN every week. Which is why I think it will never happen.
I think you can exclude Netflix from that list. Streaming services have fractured into a dozen different ones so piracy has come back.

Still applies to games/music and probably audio books.
It highly probable that you are incapable of increasing the care you put into your craft by 1000x as you no matter your intentions because there isn't 1000x more of you to give.

Have you looked at your email inbox lately? Email is full of spam, and business, and businesses I dealt with in the past trying to entice me into giving them more money, and spam filters that can register false positives on stuff I do want to see.

A non-profit social media site just has my friends, without any need to regularly spend time keeping up filters.
Yes, it definitely varies by org size. I worked in a medium size org and the “dev manager” could not even look at a git repo. In a years time he was never able to set up his dev environment, despite “wanting to get more into the code.”

I think the shift to centralized production is not necessarily permanent.

Energy generation is decentralizing again. We can make more and more manufacturing feedstocks (metals, H2, CO2, biomolecules) using more modular processes that can also be decentralized.
Yup, all correct. Also LCDs themselves and in particular active-matrix LCDs are a recent materials advance. Also, for the kind of thick-walled microscopic pressure vessel I was describing, the situation is worse than sigma = Pr/t, or Pr/2t for spheres, which is the thin-wall approximation.

Those structures are in the category of things the humans can be confident are possible, because the required pressure is only a few times higher than the tensile strength of buckytubes and nano-aggregated diamond, but have no idea how to make.

If "reasonable" is as relative as it sounds then this just seems performative.
I would recommend two cameras, both Nikon since I'm a Nikon guy since my dad handed me his F4 when I was 12 or so.

First is a FA, fully mechanical and a nice camera. Not sure about availability so.

The second, and already sporting stuff you also find on modern DSLRs, is a Nikon F4. At least over here more or less available, industructible (even half submerged in rain water pictures are great and the camera did not suffer).

Benefit of both is that they work with every F-mount lense Nikon ever made. Not sure about the latest G series without aperture rings, could be the F4 accepts those. And those lenses, if you get the good ones, all work great on Nikon's DSLRs up to the recent D780 and D850. And those lenses are available cheap used since everybody goes mirrorless. With a F4 and a decent set of lenses it is easy to go didgital on a budget, e.g. with a used good condition D700. Full format, feels a lot like a F4, both are professional bodies, and not too expensive.

Invest the difference to mirrorless into travelling to nice places where you can take nice pictures.

Oh, and using film helps improve your photography, if a picture takes time and money to develop you are much more concious about what you shoot.

Damn, now I'm motivated to break out the afore mentioned F4 again and some B+W film...

Edit: If you can get your hands on a Canon EOS1 your good too. It's Canon's F4 equivalant and Canon lenses are great. Canon does have less lens downward conpatability so. Nikon cameras are hefty, you feel what you handle, Canons are lighter and feel, well, not flimsy in comparison but you get the drift. I like hefty, solid cameras, others don't, so ouck your poison.
Steam and Netflix made it possible for people to play/watch media more easily than going to the pirate bay.

What are spammers trying to accomplish, that a better product would prevent them from using email (that isn't just them shitting up the other service the way they shit up email)?
