What are you talking about?

I'm running Windows 10 on a 2009 computer - one which was low-mid end back then. Only upgrade is an SSD.
That's a sign that it's good :)

Jokes aside though, the only major complaint people have is about .RECIPEPREFIX, which I also don't follow. I didn't read too many comments, but the top voted comments do not appear to take issue with the advice to disable built-in rules.

I'd be surprised, since it is far from the first time I've heard that advice, and it never seemed very controversial.
It depends on how much you trust your clients.

workerd ensures that a Worker cannot access protected resources by accident or negligent programming. What it can't protect against (on its own) is intentional exploitation of security bugs.

If your clients are people whom you've spoken to face-to-face and signed contracts with, then you can probably trust that they won't exploit a V8 zero-day to break the workerd sandbox, because if they did, it would clearly be a crime and you could prosecute them.

If your clients are random people who can sign up on the internet without talking to anybody, then they may be able to evade such identification and therefore prosecution. In that case you need a stronger sandbox to contain them.

There's no manufacturing premium over shitty service or labor jobs any more, so it doesn't matter. People reading this story intended to market the economy will assume that it means that more people are getting better pay. They're not. Since August 2006, crappy manufacturing jobs pay less than other crappy jobs.

I agree 100%.

I would even say the same about Windows vs MacOS

I'm so fed up with all the hidden gestures. That's all fine, but give me redundant buttons / controls too.
Totally reasonable suggestion, but did not work well for me. At my previous position at MIT I could use the MIT hobby shop, which was great. But this is only for folks with a campus affiliation.

I checked two maker spaces and they seemed pretty horrible for me. Membership was dirt cheap, so they were full and had a few years of wait times. They had some shared stuff: a laser cutter, a 3D printer and a wood CNC mill, but all in various states of disrepair.

That said, I just did a quick search and it seems like there are a few new ones that, at least on the web, look good. I will check those out.

I did it. It was a project but it wasn’t that bad. What really helped was:

1. Email forwarding. Set a filter to label anything incoming to the old address.

2. Using a password manager. This winds up bring a map to everything important.
Breaks it for linuxbrew - which is a bummer for some folks I imagine, but it isn't too widely used, is it (compared to homebrew on macOS)?
Parent comment probably not worth engaging with .. but mentioning yarn / npm / node feels like some serious flamebait overkill here too :?

If it were my project I'd just be assuming contributors had internet access and advising in the readme to "search for a good 'bookmarklet generator', paste in your code, then test it". I'd then test their tested bookmarklet code before accepting any PRs. Thus reducing the repo to two files and 1% of current complexity, most of that being in the readme itself.

> HTML is great for plain forms

I'm not sure I'd call that an "interactive UI" though as that's pretty much a static layout. Which yes HTML is fine at handling.

> Browsers are also good at graphical outputs.

They're okay graphical outputs, not good ones. The feature sets are good, but the performance is all over the place and pretty much always sub-par as they are very defensive against content. Meaning the difference between the fast path (so plain scrolling) and the "slow" path (nearly anything else) is absolutely massive. Even things that are all but free on native toolkits, like just animating a color, can tank browser performance.

> But we go where the users are

Of course, which is mobile apps ;)

No but the point is just browsers aren't slow because they are an OS inside an OS. The layering isn't the cause of really any problems other than the binary size of the browser itself.
It doesn’t benefit me much as I have unlimited bandwidth and I can download an entire song in 10 seconds so don’t have any buffering.

I can see how it saves Spotify some bandwidth costs.

But I hate big caches as I don’t really think about them until my disk is full and I need to do something.

I wish programs would be better stewards of user resources.
Xcode is a huge offender, at least for me. At 36GB, not only is it the largest application in my Applications folder (it is larger than all my other applications combined), it also litters /Library/Developer with about 9GB of shit (mostly simulator runtimes), and then litters ~/Library/Developer with 33GB of shit (mostly caches). Almost 80GB disk footprint... just to develop software?
As someone with a 128 GB model, I manage just fine. This is not the same as selling 16 GB models 3 or so years ago (that was ridiculous). It’s only a “scam” if you’re someone that needs more space and thinks having a “just fine” lower tier is a scam.
I am not fan of Ruby but this is a thing that Ruby nailed on (blocks).

I made the switch to Fastmail from Gmail (which I used since it launched) about three years ago and haven't looked back. What a fantastic service at a reasonable price. Their mobile app is also great.

About this API in particular, who is it targeting or what type of apps are expected to come out of this? Email clients that leverage Fastmail-specific features?
I believe it was cheaper back then. Doesn't seem to be now :)
I think this is true, but only for a very particular sort of business, and a particular sort of success.

on HN it may seem like the only possible business is a tech start up with an acquisition as the measure of success, but it isn't.
Bingo. This is the only one that actually makes sense to me.
I'd love to switch over to Fastmail from Gmail with my custom domain email, but I face two hurdles before being able to move over:

1) Going from $0 to $50/year is such a tough pill to swallow ..

2) I have a ton of documents in Google docs. Will those continue to work, and if not, what's the alternative? Google is terrible for privacy, but at least my sensitive documents aren't going to get stolen. I'm not sure I'll trust a startup to my personal docs. Self-hosting is such a massive pain, so not something I want to do.

Would love advice on transitioning away from the big G.
Not a new concept, I remember years ago reading about the idea that language based image generation is the ultimate compression: e.g. a seal with a ball on his nose performing (ironically a few words is worth a million pixels).

Anyway, I'd be interested to know what a zip format that was allowed to have gigabytes of overhead would look like as a comparison. Like if you could analyze some stereotype of a large photo set to find the most common pixel sequences and then build a giant hash table (or some smarter version of this) so that you could encode many general images in very little data. That would be the fair comparison.

That's a very interesting idea. One obvious downside is a congressman might change their position faster than you can because they have advanced knowledge, so it would be riskier to hold the same position. Especially if that linked page updates even a little slowly. Secondly, they might have that position knowing exactly that - that they will have advanced knowledge and there it's worth having it at all. They know they have advanced knowledge so they are capable of riskier things. They also know that people can see their positions so they could game everyone by luring them into positions which they could exit quickly so as to pump and dump.

I think it's much more likely that we either fail to make human-level AI or we wildly surpass human-level AI than us getting to human-level AI, petering out exactly there, and not facing a radically AI-changed world.

If we or AI run into a barrier stopping us from improving AI, it would be surprising if that barrier was at the same exact spot where evolution ran into a barrier at improving our intelligence given all the differences between the situations. Even if it turns out in some sense that humans are running the "optimal" algorithm for intelligence already and there are no true algorithmic improvements over our intelligence available, the abilities to scale up (or network) a computer, to clone it, to serialize it, and to introspect and modify it will be huge force multipliers. If some human minds were given these abilities then they individually would have a major impact on society; if we're presuming actual human-level AI then they will too.

The only reason someone would assume that when we get to human-level AI that we'll definitely get comfortably stopped there is because they're hoping for a simple outcome that they can understand, of a world that doesn't change too much.
> I wish python would support multi line lambdas

It does, it just doesn’t support statements (not even one) in lambdas, since a lambda (however many lines it takes up) contains a single expression.
Keep in mind that when Amazon and other hosting companies buy bandwidth, it is symmetric: they don't pay a smaller rate for ingress than egress. Charging a lot for egress is just a way (IMO) to keep customers stuck on their platform, because migrating data to another provider is expensive.
My thinking is that someone forgetting about a project, not caring about it, or for some reason being unable to update it (e.g. losing access to an account or even being physically unable due to injury or death) might not update the project to indicate this; I think a lot of the wariness of older projects that haven't been recently touched is because it's hard to tell the difference between "no changes need to be made so I'm leaving it untouched but monitoring" and "no one is even looking at this and if a change needs to be made, no one knows".

The university wants to build new student housing, but many people in the university and many locals don't. There are concrete plans to build housing for a few thousand additional students on campus, but the plans have been on hold for years as people oppose them for environmental and aesthetic reasons.
The state should sit on the UC system and forbid them to allow more students to attend than they can provide housing for.
>Rust code since 1.0 has the same level of backwards compatibility that bash does.

That's true and exactly what I said. It's the rust developer demographic that lacks the consideration to write backwards compatible code.

If you're asking for permission to repost anything on my behalf you're free to do it. Asking me to send you an email while we are already communicating seems a bit silly.
On your second point - do you need to transition documents? If it's free you may as well just keep them with Google.
Perhaps a little too strong of a word, though they are supposed to be time-limited offers. A core principle.

It used to be fun to wait for the bundle to end and see the new one 'unlock'. Or how they now deal different with the highest price. You would wait around and be early. They have been redefining, changing strategies, especially after being 'acquired'. More of the gamification is disappearing. Not necessarily wrong, but having too many bundles at once takes the 'fun' away. The thing that drew me to Humble.

For me, extending the time is an indication that they aren't seeing the numbers they are expecting. Defying the idea this is a 'limited' offering. It takes a core tenet away. What is next to change... The charities?

They are churning out bundles that saturate choice and very likely affect participation. I haven't bought a bundle for over a year now. Lots of my friends say the same. And I think the same for many others.

It becomes more and more a storefront like any other regular bundle offering like Fanatical.
The point is we should start the 3to5 migration earlier (Haskell is just a codename).
> I'm not sure I'll trust a startup

Is Fastmail considered a startup? They've been there for a while.
Yeah, I've always had issues with that saying. Pedantically, any time in the past is better than now. Unless it was a drought at that time I guess.
On that note, I've noticed that the Gmail spam filter has been less effective recently - I get spam coming through to my inbox almost every day now. I've also had some legitimate email going through to the spam box which has very rarely happened with me on Gmail.

If there's one thing that will finally push me to jump to something different it would be if spam filtering becomes ineffective.
When does the suddenly start? Hasn't for me.
Winter in Europe has huge variations in severity. The difference between a cold and a mild winter can make an annual 15% difference in gas consumption in Germany, for example [1]. The difference between running out of gas and not running out of gas falls right between those two weather scenarios.

Winter being generally colder than summer - that's climate, which is different from weather.

This is a myth. Go here[0] and choose any year you want in the URL. Russia was doing much much better than Ukraine at pretty much any point in the last 15 years in terms of GDP per capita.

I mean, even Belarus was doing better.

So I'm not experienced in hiring managers. But I would hope you could select hiring criteria that would avoid this. Don't hire people that fought to become a manager. Don't hire managers that are working to get paid (obviously work gets paid for - but the best workers care about the product more).
The best thing Fastmail could do (IMO obviously) for JMAP adoption is to open up their own clients to other servers.

(i.e. if I'm developing a JMAP server, let me use the Fastmail app to test. If Protonmail wants to focus on server & security, let them recommend 'a JMAP client such as Fastmail' to their customers.)

Unfortunately though I tweeted (something snappier to that effect towards) the CTO a while ago; it's 'not on the cards' was the phrasing as I recall.

(I'm a former happy customer - I was doing something a bit weird receiving via SES, but no reason to think it wouldn't work, and indeed it did work for years as a paying customer until it broke overnight. Response was no sorry deliberate configuration change. I raced (no access to email!) to get something workable without Fastmail before my renewal that weekend; suddenly it started working again, no further contact from support, but by then I'd got my own solution almost working which I'd always intended on anyway. The JMAP part's still early WIP though, so I really would like to be able to use their client app as a solid reference.)

The author makes a bunch of tenuous assumptions; that lambda calculus is all about currying; and that the “lambda” keyword brings lambda calculus to Python; that lambda is undesirable because Python doesn’t have nice currying syntax.

Anyway I think Guido hates lambda because it feels like an appendage in Python, due to list comprehensions and due to expression-only bodies, restriction which was put in place probably because passing multi-line nameless functions as arguments is awkward in a whitespace-sensitive language/it just didn’t feel Pythonic to Guido to be passing large inline functions to functions.
The students want to live off campus in a paradise for as close to free as they can.

I think the Warren quote about "when the tide goes out, you realize who's naked" applies here. Tech is in every industry at this point, so it feels unlikely to fully crash as a sector. The recession and lack of cheap VC funding will expose the companies that don't actually have a reasonable business plan, but leave those that do. In other words, "make up the losses on volume" speculative companies will have a winter, but solid businesses (so many! medical equipment, logistics, entertainment, self-driving car progress) will weather the storm ok.
I wonder what allowing paid questions would do to the incentive structure on a site like SO? I would be very happy to pay a small sum to get unblocked on a technical problem.

No, they seem trustworthy. I meant I don't trust a startup to host my documents (Google drive alternative) because Fastmail doesn't have a google docs alternative as far as I'm aware.

Didn't google already solve this problem for you? They removed the free tier for custom domains in ~GApps~ Google Workspaces.

At least for me, the switch was a forcing function to move off.
They were, and still are viable devices to some people. I only upgraded from a 128gb mbp and a 16gb iphone this year, after using them for 7 and 6 years respectively. Storage was never an issue with the laptop, and only became a problem with the iphone in the last couple of years.

I've been on Fastmail for many years. I didn't manage to _quite_ get rid of my gmail address, but it's close. I don't have to open gmail at all - and any mail that still makes it that way is forwarded to Fastmail.

I can use my own domain too. It's pretty great. The web interface is simple but it has improved immensely since I've started to use it.

I guess this is the missing piece. One thing I miss from gmail is its ability to automatically sort incoming email into categories, even if you don't have filters. Fastmail has all the classic filters, but they do not apply to existing emails, which is a major hassle. I've been using Sanebox to keep it less insane, but I don't like giving access to third parties.

I guess I'll play with this thing and write something to organize my inbox.
It's a good first step! I hope to someday see the ability to use an API to edit Fastmail DNS entries, add/remove/modify user accounts, access the calendar and notes, etc.
It’s just a pain in the ass to have a team over there.
It has an automated release generated every week. The could be no commit activity whatsoever and there would still be 52 "releases" of V every year.

It's one thing to like V but it's another to constantly repeat misleading information in an attempt to give it more credence than it has.

Even V's own changelog only contains 28 releases (mostly from the 0.1 era in 2019 - early 2020) not "hundreds" like you've claimed.

I switched all of my accounts from my 15 year old gmail address to a custom domain over the course of a few months, during which I monitored both inboxes. I used my password manager to keep track of which accounts I had updated. After about three months of updating accounts, I set a permanent autoresponder in Gmail telling people that the inbox is no longer monitored and to please contact me via other means (I don't tell them the other means to avoid spammers getting my new email). Then after another three months, I stopped checking gmail completely. Now, over a year later, I don't check gmail except in rare cases where I come across an account I forgot to update, or am waiting for a specific email that doesn't arrive to my new address. The gmail account still gets about 15-20 messages a week, and they're all basically spam and marketing junk.
