Call with screenshare when there's some issue to ask about/review?

On the whole I prefer it to 'over the shoulder' I think - 'no that bit, where I'm pointing but you can't see, gah' is annoying, but I get my own screen to look at.

(Even better might be some kind of remote editor session, so I could connect from whatever editor I like to use, on my screen at my resolution with my colours, and see your cursor move around while you talk. No idea how you'd do that in a cross-editor sort of way, though I suppose you could support major ones in a way that enabled them to be used with each other, e.g. I view in vim while partner moves cursor in VSCode or whatever.)
The part that worries me about managing your own server is the security aspect, it's just a much larger surface area than just running a docker image on fly.io, for example. Do self-hosted PaaS like Coolify/Dokku/CapRover handle this aspect? Or do you still have to take all the steps you'd usually take securing the server?
I tried to move away from the legacy free Google Apps thingy when they threatened to force everyone to pay business rates and even though Gmail isn't what it once was, the competition isn't great either. The one that everyone keeps raving about is located in Australia (which has non-existing data protection laws), most privacy-focused ones are cumbersome and annoying (limited functionality, no IMAP, only our own apps, etc.), the big commercial ones are expensive (this is for family), and a few were half broken (IMAP should work but never did etc.) ... I found a single one from Europe that came reasonably close to Gmail, but then Google decided to keep their Google Apps thingy free for non-commercial use, and I'm happy I don't have to worry about those email accounts for at least a couple more years. Gmail works well in all respects, is well-supported everywhere, and since I'm using my own domain I retain the option of switching if need be. I don't think I have a single person I actually exchange emails with that wouldn't leak them to Google anyway, so why bother.

Here's a thought experiment for you: consider the hypothesis that you're wrong.
Now you know why there are still some people that still take "web3" seriously. It's the only system where you are not at the mercy of some external entity to be always benevolent.

Seriously, ENS and Handshake alone should be enough of a reason to silence all of those who keep repeating "but blockchain has no real world applications".

We're not talking about a small town in Moldova, we're talking about Boston.

America has, for many intents and purposes, unlimited resources. We waste more money than most countries even have. We could do whatever we want medically, we just choose not to.

Individual hospitals may have constraints, but only because we as a nation choose to allow them to.

The JWST cost as much as 100 new hospitals. We once built half a supercollider that probably cost more than that (relative to then-current construction costs) and never even used it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Collider

Don't get me wrong, I approve of those projects; they're just good examples of how almost hilariously wealthy we are. We're hardly unable to offer medical care to everyone in need and then some. We just let crooks take over the economy.
Silly question from afar: could you tunnelify the BQE (no digging, just cover it!) and drop a park on top? Best of both worlds.

Seems silly to rip up roads when self driving electric buses could be running down them (or at least get their own priority lane).
The idea of Pure Data is to be a minimum core that can be extended with "abstractions" and "externals". For example, the "else" library comes with literally hundreds of additional useful objects. Everything you wish for in your post already exists, you just need to find it :-p

I didn’t listen to the accompanying podcast so I might be missing some details.

It strikes me that it seems like 37signals are just using AWS as a glorified virtual machine with maybe some db hosting.
To me the big benefit of the cloud is using all the little services they provide, like s3, sns, sqs, CloudSearch ECS, cloudwatch and the list goes on and on.
If we were to host all those service ourselves and keep them up to date the operating cost would be huge.
Furthermore I work for a site that is very public and has a lot of for instance ddos threats hanging over head. AWS handles lots of ddos threats all the time and they a much better suited for handling that than our own ops team.
From the perspective of yours truly (and probably not anyone else), there is a relatively simple solution to this problem. I have experimented with running SMTP peer-to-peer instead of peer-to-<third_party_intermediary>-to-peer. While I first did this using L2, before Wiregaurd, Tailscale or Headscale existed,^1 I see no reason it could not be done using today's popular L3 software. One approach is the sender and recipient each run their own SMTP server on an overlay network. Each network might have its own interface, /dev/tap[0-100] being one option. Is this perfect in every way. No. Nothing meets that standard. Does it work reliably. Yes. That is good enough for me. That it works is not surprising since the early internet did not have itermediaries like Google and the early mail RFCs had no conception of third party email providers let alone "webmail", now dominated by "Gmail". Needs of "users" do differ and intermediaries might serve a useful purpose for some, even those who can make a conscious choice. Personally I have no need to be able to email every address on the planet let alone allow them to email me! More practically, I can more easily maintain smaller lists of potential senders and recipients, i.e., "networks", each one a separate network interface. Again, needs will differ based on the user.

Third party email for personal use is like using a PO Box despite have private property, a house, and an address. There is no reason that everyone cannot have their own mailbox on their own property. Even more, instead of the post office managine these PO Boxes, email uses a private entity that is trying to sell advertising services, and/or brokering direct email marketing. Both systems, snail mail and email, have been largely co-opted by the potential for direct mail marketing, so-called "junk mail". Even if one never sees any junk in their inbox (thanks to "filters"), the junk mail senders are still influencing the system. The continued enablement and presence of those junk senders, who are still sending massive quantities of junk with the help of Big Email, is why third party email providers, like Gmail, block residential IP addresses. You own property, a house and an address but you cannot have your won mailbox. That is how third party email provision works.

1. Heck, one could probably use a "lightning" network too but folks today want to use peer-to-peer overlay networks for "crypto" exclusively, not messaging or any other useful activity. Go figure. This whole means of using networks without third party intermediaries is as old as computer networks themselves. Gamers have long used LANs and overlay networks for communication, since before the internet became popular. Arguably, we could think of everything we do on the internet as a "game" that justifies use of overlays.
Ask HN: Best way to translate my app into other languages?
I have a proprietary app (that I have developed and have the source code for) that I'd like to translate to other languages, to better target other locales and regions.

Personally, I wouldn't trust Google or similar automated translators for the job. Since I only speak English, I don't have a way to verify whether the translations are correct and make sense in its context.

I've been considering translation services from Fiverr, but I've never used any services from them and it, too, has the same problem — I have no way to verify whether the translation is okay.

Has anyone translated their app/website into a different language? What's the approach that you used?
The Nano pi line from friendlyarm has been solid for me. They're well built vs the jank that OrangePi tends to ship.

Pine64 sells pretty good boards as well, though I'd place them a half step below the quality of friendlyarm.

No coincidence then that the latest batch of fuckups were all Eton educated.
At the start of this year I got a 400 to play router as the other models were either stupidly expensive or simply not available and I wanted something "known good" rather than risking one of the cheaper alternatives riding on the rPi coat tails. The full kit version (coming with power supply, mouse, etc) cost me £90.91 with next day delivery (via prime). A quick look now, only 8 months later, and the same thing is £201.53¹.

The combination of shortages and scalpers had truly turned the "affordable mini-PC" idea on its head.

The original plan for my 400 was for it to become a proper little low-power PC², with its job as headless router and mini-server being taken on by a pi4 (or 3, heck perhaps even a zero-with-add-ons) or similar once their availability+price became more reasonable. Looks like it'll be sat where it is doing what it is doing for a while longer.

In mid-2019 the Pi 4 1GB that is my "set-top" Kodi+ box ATM cost ~£35. Now the cheapest 4 available for delivery in the next day or two, a 4gb unit, is £170.

Did you read that pew research article?

> Self-described libertarians tend to be modestly more supportive of some libertarian positions, but few of them hold consistent libertarian opinions on the role of government, foreign policy and social issues.

...

> None of the seven groups identified by the 2014 political typology closely resembled libertarians, and, in fact, self-described libertarians can be found in all seven. Their largest representation is among the group we call Business Conservatives...However, they are also supportive of an activist foreign policy and do not have a libertarian profile on issues of civil liberties.

Libertarian's as described in that survey (and as you probably are as well) are 'Republicans who like smoking weed and don't have a problem with homosexuals'.
Within the UK those accessing the NHS might be asked to prove elibility by dedicated teams.

If they can't prove it they will be billed 150% of the nominal NHS cost (still cheap in grand scheme of things).

No one has ever shown the process to be cost effective. Nor is it terrible efficient as the vast majority of healthcare professionals do not proactively engage with the process. (Likely as they feel underpaid to do their actual job and are unwilling to take on a police role).

Historically, the educated elites used to support conservatives. Pretty much every revolution in history was against 'the elites', and some of these revolutions were justified. Polybius himself wrote for a very exploitative empire - so there's no need to support these elites uncritically.

In modern America, there has been educational sorting where the Academy is pushing for its class interests, and using their own forms of vilification for that - reducing polarization would require a change there that is not going to happen.
Sure. I even implemented one for LuaJIT so I could step through the Lua source code or LuaJIT bytecode and inspect local variable and table state, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/LjTools/.
They don't appeal to the people who don't believe, and just confirm the beliefs of people who do.

They're not even using that to good effect.

There's no, "Illustrated guide to not being part of the problem." There's no, "Doing this might actually help!"

There's only, "Oil company bad!" and, "ZOMG, those poor animals!" and "Politicians don't care about the planet!" Just pandering.

FWIW, there is a current effort of rewriting the GUI backend to move away from Tcl/Tk and allowing alternative GUI implementations. It will take some time though.

I agree with your point but the analogy is bad. I would definitely buy a car based on factory. Reliability, order time, parts availability, etc.
There’s a difference between explicitly asking for feedback and saying “hey here’s the cool thing I made, check it out!”

HN comments often miss the context of a post and focus on nitpicking or giving unsolicited feedback.

Many of the HN members I met (makers/hackers/students) lurk but rarely post here for that reason.
I like it. It's simple enough to add to a form from a template, and doesn't get in the way.

2 things I would like:

- customize (translate, actually) the "I am not a robot" text, since I do work for non-English customers,

- have the "redirection" be just a pop-up window. My use case for Sendfly would be for 1 page brochure sites, and I'd very much like those sites to really be 1 page. Maintaining 2 pages is a lot more work than a single one, especially if I update them very, very infrequently.

I may end up using it as is, it would improve some of those sites anyway.

I tried oracle cloud for some time. Its interface is horrendous, some of its instances gave issues all over the place and after shooting it down I am still getting emails , in Portuguese (for some unknown reason I guess someone read my last name and thought I speak that language) and I get calls from time to time.

It was a horrible experience.
At this point some government entity should provide a way to have an inalienable electronic address. There are strong protections for regular mail, that ensure that mail gets delivered. Cell carriers are required to port numbers. Since email addresses are tied to domain, there should be some usps-like service that allows to have an address, that can be related to a provider of your choosing. And this address is tied to your identity, which you can verify by physically visiting usps or dmv if all else fails.
When we apply the principle "All models are wrong but some are useful." to the Gervais Principle I come to a funny conclusion. It is quite close to reality but mostly useless. It reads funny but is very cynical and it doesn't deliver anything actionable. Neither does it give happiness nor does it empower to change things. It mostly channels anger into cynicism. Well, you may think that you can explain the world in the terms used in the theory and yes, they explain many things quite well. But what then? Resignation?

I would like to know how things are in more neutral terms and know how to fight the calcification (or how you call it) of an organization effectively or, if not possible, how to get the best out of it for myself.
Oh, I guess some additional context is that by convention we use Slack emoji to indicate whether we approve, comment or request changes. Then again when it’s merged/deployed. Reviews aren’t specifically requested of individuals, usually just the entire team. That way, if it’s a channel everyone is in, other people can see at a glance whether they should still review the PR.
What about a simple solution: ask some of your friends, who are fluent in more than one language or have friends who are, to check the automated translation for you?
Yeah kids will f** that schedule completely.
OK, but if the point was to obfuscate your "precious" address and use some other "throwaway" address, then this does not work. Your email address can be easily deconstructed and used for spam

Why in horror?

This is a natural reaction when your world collapses because of people vastly different than you.

The ones who are eager to integrate are not a problem. The ones who want to bring their culture and put it in opposition to the one of their host country are a problem.

I am French and a militant atheist.

My two best friends are:

1. a devout catholic and we discuss how our views are bad and how the other is wrong in his head. And then go for a beer.

I support the fact that we are culturally Judeo-Christians and therefore part of my traces go to the small village church. This is life, and I protest that but know that nobody is going to cut my head for that.

2 a 2nd gen Muslim who meets with his family for their celebrations but otherwise does not care too much except that he is pissed off because when there is an issue it is always presumed that the culprit is Muslim. To what I say that if they did not have the arguably bad habit to cut heads when someone shows their god in underwear it would be better, we argue for a moment and go with nr 1 for a beer and juice for nr 2.

I know them and their friends for years and we are uber cool with each other.

You can elect not to have it if you don't want it, it's actually up to the merchant. You might also notice Amazon in some regions does not even require the CVV.

3D Secure gives you discounts on the processing rate since it reduces risk of fraud. However Amazon gets discounts for its scale and elects to avoid it, presumably to improve conversion - and offer features such as the one click checkout.
Pretty off-topic, but:

> I hope that Pocket Casts can do for podcast clients what Firefox in the early days and Chromium now does for browsers — push the state of the art, be manically focused on user control, and grow a more decentralized and open web.

It's pretty funny to see the claim that Chromium is "manically focused on user control" and "is growing a more decentralised and open web" :-)

In my case, I understand the benefits of layers, and it's actually the thing I miss the most on my Keychron K2, which I otherwise enjoy, and is the reason I'm eyeing the newer QMK-based models.

But I also specifically want to be able to avoid layers in some situations. I sometimes want to be able to use the keyboard while I'm not in "full-on typing mode".

For example, if one of my hands is busy holding an apple. I would like to be able to change the volume with a single key press, or step the debugger, or refresh the webpage, etc. And that's an absolute pain to do if I need to press multiple keys, especially if the keys I'd need to press would be designed for "one fluid movement", basically requiring two hands. Bonus points for the keyboard being split, so there's no hope for a single hand to reach both keys.

What I'm trying to say is that I see a case for actually having both possibilities on the same keyboard. They don't have to be exclusive. I can have layers and use those when I'm typing, and have them set up for two-handed use. I could use those even if the keyboard had physical Fx and media keys. And for a gigantic and expensive keyboard such as the one discussed here, or any of the similar models, the price difference would be negligible, both cash and size wise.
Secondhand HP T620 is pretty cheap and comes with sodimm and m2 sockets. T610 has weaker processor and sata instead of m2, but much cheaper than T620. I'm running homeassistant and pihole in a T610 with 8gb ram and 256 ssd and it's pretty great so far.

> Security, compliance, flexibility...

AWS's shared responsibility model is quite clear in stating that end users are ultimately the ones responsible for security and compliance. So your points are moot.

"Flexibility" in this case is so vague that it's meaningless. I mean, is there anything more flexible than owning the entire infrastructure and software stack you chose all by yourself?

I agree with you, which is why I personally fold down the top half of my bedding.

As for design/looks I likely described this wrong. Bedding is designed to be made full on the bed. It's not a circular argument. The design is best when the bed is made as you can see whatever design is on the pillows, sheet, etc.

Another reason: it's a small accomplishment that could be a good motivator for your day (especially if you're depressed).
