Ask HN: Where should I host my email
I know guys we had several discussions about this in the past, but here's the thing:

Premise: I want to use my own domain for my private emails. I am not brave enough to host my own mailserver.
Conclusion: I purchased webhosting incl. email server from a EU based company where DKIM and SPF are properly configured.

So far so good, worked for quite some time, but now:

Problem 1: (more severe): more and more of my sent emails go to the recipients spam folder, this seems especially true for large providers such as gmail.

Problem 2 (can handle locally, more of an annoyance): incoming spam is increasing as the webproviders spamassin doesnt seem to work quite well.

So my question is this: Where should I host my email to maximize acceptance of sent mails by major mailservers?
You just need to think about your Unix shell as a legacy system.
Redis isn’t just a cache. That’s memcached. Also SQS absolutely sucks for a job queue as soon as you want to do anything like control concurrency or have job priorities, but if your needs are simply “I need a background job queue” then SQS is likely a great choice.
I've only recently started running my servers this way, and I've taken this to the next level with bubblewrap: https://tobykurien.com/simpler-linux-selfhosting/
"Particular art pieces sell for ridiculous prices because of the strange world of art investment" is a reasonable opinion to hold. But the article is just "wow, Rothko sure is shit."
Ha, people in the US should know what a cash machine is. It may have been the accent, but I’m having a hard time imagining how even the most severe British accent would make “cash machine” that hard to understand. Now if you were Scottish, on the other hand…
Not a common term here. It is somewhat ambiguous with "cash register", so some people's brains may not immediately or strongly select the correct interpretation. Some will just fine though.
That's fair -- perhaps we could frame it as a large-scale beta test of sorts. Researchers are building LLMs to solve problems, but new technologies can often end up solving problems they were never designed for. Once people get their hands on them, they test and tinker and find new uses for them. Sometimes it turns out not to be a good solution to the initial problem, but a great solution for something completely different.

For instance, while I'm still generally of the opinion that generative models have limited use unless they're grounded to reality...I did see a post on Reddit about someone using ChatGPT to generate story ideas for their D&D game. So yeah...don't need to be tethered to reality to make a fantasy story! That's not something I would have thought of (even though I'm a DM!), and it's still relatively niche, but it's a great story of how getting something into people's hands to play with can generate lots of new ideas.

It turns out that the resources that get deployed in the grid are useful ones rather than something that deploys 1GW for 1 second. So referring to the power capacity, and dispatching based on power capacity, is how to make decisions when operators bus into the grid. At any moment, a power source may trip off, or decide that the price they are being paid is not high enough to justify continued operation.

The grid is an amazing, absolutely massive, machine for matching power at the generation and load sides. Power, of both the real sort and the reactive sort, are the name of the game.

As far as optimization for power over minimal capacity, the best use case for supercapacitors might be frequency regulation, but batteries have proven to be superior for that particular use case, with a few fly wheels also taking part.
It's not fear mongering, but call to action.

Like for other measures, especially in the past few years, measures are taken and justified though a broad vague irrational paternalistic shout ("For the children"), and we are left with the unduly burden of trying to reconstruct the logic (if any plausible exists).
You CAN get something rare/exotic for $70k these days.

However you can get a lot of pretty surprisingly run of the mill vehicles at that price range as well, especially for at truck or EV. Like a Ford F-150, Tesla Model 3/Y, entry level Mercedes or BMW electric car, even a Ford Mach E, etc.

The slowing inflation, high interest rates and collapse of the economy in the coming 6-18 months will probably wind some of that back.
The catch is that the bullied is often not well positioned to tell reliably whether bullying happens or not. We can assume it's friendly banter while it's bullying. As a child the idea that someone might want to hurt me just did not compute and caused a paralysing response. Or we can assume it's bullying even though it's friendly banter. After being bullied I saw any tease or taunt as a personal attack and this cost me close friendships in uni years.
I've used Tmux/Screen the few times I've had to be in an actual terminal, but don't really see the use for them when using a GUI terminal emulator. I just open new tabs or (rarely) windows as needed.

Could anyone using these explain what it provides that you find useful in practice? I rarely ever need persistence of shell when I close the console, is that a common need? Familiarity/muscle memory of shortcuts is a valid answer, but I'm wondering if there's more to it than that.

For me it was that tmux worked out of the box the way I spent many hours getting screen to work the way I wanted. And then from there, just in general the docs were better, it was updated more often, and in general was a bit less obscure in how it was configured.
For a long time I've subscribed to dictionary.com word of the day..I learn it and try to incorporate it somehow within 24 hours so I recall it..this has vastly improved my lexicon and I found using the bigger words can sometimes fill in the umms and ahhs. I also practice speeches in the mirror or by myself before I do them in front of others!
In Europe it is the same situation. I think they want to prohibit combustion engines for new trucks by 2030, meaning that all new trucks will need to be EV. To charge a single EV truck in 1.5 hours on the Autobahn (this is the common break time for truck drivers), you'll need 80kW EV loading (that's 80000 Watts for a single truck). Imagine there're 20 trucks charging at 80kW on a single autobahn rest area. I don't know who came up with this time schedule, the grid cannot support this and I think it is quite challenging to scale it enough till 2030.
Not OP, but something just feels unnatural and unsettling about changing humans, and especially for changing yourself. It feels like the uncanny valley where it just doesn't feel right. I'm agnostic so it's not for a particularly religious reasons, and it's purely an emotional response for me that's not grounded in logic at all, so I also just describe it as squeamish for no reason.
No, static magnets wouldn't work.

A series of electromagnets driven by A/C could possibly work, either as a linear motor (fixed magnet in the car, and the road pushes or along) or at a much higher frequency as a wireless charging thing (if you can get the power high enough without being dangerous).

But at that point there are probably cheaper options.
>Whataboutism is whataboutism.

>Attempting to invoke the thankfully largely-discarded concept of "whataboutism" is actually just a kind of backhanded ad hominem used to avoid making a real argument and instead try to make people "look the other way".

Moments of clarity like this are one of the main reasons I keep coming back to this place. :D
Ask HN: What are some great examples of developer blogs?
I agree with the overall argument of the article, but some of it is confusing in the point it's trying to make:

> In these studies, chimps are behaving more rationally than humans. There is no wasted motion to obtain the reward.

> Humans haven’t been successful because we are innovators. Rather, we are successful because we don’t think for ourselves, and save time and energy by copying others.

> In contrast, children will copy every single action, including the unnecessary ones.

Isn't the chimpanzee the one saving time/energy in this case since it's not engaging in superfluous activities and only doing what it's necessary for its goal? I was expecting the article to state that the point of human superfluous activity is that it allows for a greater range of experimentation (a superfluous activity might lead to an adjacent innovative/novel solution for a new goal that was outside of the original scope).
Of course people are financing them. Vehicles are expensive. I believe the average used car price is over $40K now here. Even an average used car was about $20K.

Let's stick to the truck, though. F-150s are everywhere.

If I head to the Ford Canada website, an F-150 XL (the cheap one) is $39K before you get started. A Platinum brings you up to $87K, and the Limited brings you up to $98K.

The website is definitely NOT including taxes, licensing fees, financing fees, interest, etc.

I couldn't imagine paying that for a work truck. The trades are fairly well payed, but to that extent?

At the end of the day, all computing is very simple. What's impressing you here is the size of the dataset and the speed of the retrieval, brought about by advances in hardware. Also, we like the well-formed writing which is created by filtering and massaging the parroted text into a new set of sentences.

It is impressive, and people who don't know how it really works will think it's capable of all kinds of things it's not. Of course, this has been true forever. Just ask anyone who writes code about what non-devs think software can do.
Only related to software engineering but the Lex Fridman Podcast should be in this thread.

You’re underestimating the HN crowd. I’d expect everyone halfway scientifically literate to have an understanding of the Kelvin scale. It’s also quite an intuitive scale, physically, especially if you’re coming from Celsius.
Yet another proof that no 1 value that an entrepreneur should have is dedication. Congrats!
Certainly part of the problem is the protocol of the highway system itself, and our expectation as consumers. Passengers can get by on 30kg ebikes we need a lane system for those on all roads, not just a 'take your own risks bike lane'. 1500kg passenger vehicle curb weight should not be the starting point for passenger vehicles. But no one takes this on because it's regulatory and a quagmire.

Trucking is an unavoidable issue, but (at least in the US) there is plenty of space for combined solar/wind/battery sites on trucking corridors.
> since raw pointers can only be dereferenced in unsafe code

Sure, and "unsafe" is not only a huge red flag but can and should be tightly scoped and can then be audited much easier than chasing around NPE through an entire Class or even codebase.

Secondly, I've used Rust for a few years now and have NEVER needed to or thought of using raw pointers once. It's unnecessary for almost every single usecase I can think of except maybe OS or driver development but even then you can tightly control where "unsafe" uses pop up.
This may be an unsatisfying answer: slowly.

I tweeted and wrote a fair deal about the process, and had good-but-not-great launches on HN and Product Hunt. There was definitely no 'big bang' where one day I did not have product-market fit and/or traction and then the next day I did; it was a slow drip of new users and new customers who helped refine the product & its position.

This is a strong _advantage_ of having something be a side project; your runway is drastically longer than other business models. (For example, from 2017—2018 MRR slowly grew from around $500 to around $1500. This slow growth felt painful, but also it was incredibly sustainable since I wasn't drawing a salary from it; churn was extremely low, and the only real problem was a small top-of-funnel since I wasn't going viral or spending money on ads.
nah, I disagree.

I've been trying to express complex ideas at the limits of my own grasp of language (including my native one) since always. And so long as I've kept trying I have kept improving.
Surely diction is difficult, but you would have probably needed some diction tutoring or other tips to better use your mouth to sound like a native. It is possible but it's work.

so this is my counter point to your counterpoint.
I think we're better off with electric trains at that point.
I thought it was a joke about mnemonic, until realized you're serious.
This is NOT a mnemonic, because it lacks either rule like each next component gives more specific time, or external reference like poem or image.
It can be easily substituted with 1st year, 2nd day, 3rd hour, 4th minute, 5th second, 6-th month, 7th timezone.
Add it within a infinitive loop + `sleep 10` and now it automatically restarts if it crashes too! :)
These stories about happy Nordics may have started in the 2000's. I first came across such a piece circa 2005 after the publication of some 'happiness' survey.

Is there really a big problem with cashlessness? It was something everyone used to look forward to. Then social media came along and with it a parade of zerohedge weirdos, paranoid neo-confederates, well-funded anti-taxation think tanks.
It’s very useful when multiple errors happen concurrently, like collecting errors from separate goroutines after they all finish.
It's still more efficient to power an EV off natural gas/goal than a combustion vehicle, due to the improved efficiency at the larger power plant vs the small vehicle.
No..our work might morph into refactoring AI's spaghetti but a lot of a programmers job is comforting the person that hired them (whether in house or contract), knowing they have someone on hand to solve whatever problem may arise. This simply won't be the case with AI.

It actually is better for the environment to run an EV off of even something as dirty as coal power, than to run a gasoline car because the EV drivetrain is so much more efficient.

That being said, I agree of course that transitioning the mix toward a lower proportion of dirty sources will be good.

The police in the UK don't see FindMy info as sufficiently precise for a search warrant.

There's enough news stories about American police raiding the wrong address based on FindMy that the UK justice system simply refuses to see it as sufficient evidence.

The tool can parrot back to you "logical" arguments which it has already scanned. It cannot figure out the logic behind them, nor seen when it's wrong, nor correct any errors, nor draw new logical conclusions.

You're right about the additional time in general. But for much of the information on the web, readers assume the author is speaking from genuine knowledge and has verified the information. IMO it's a better search engine than Google, especially for conceptually complex topics.
There is no evidence as far as I know, but logic can give you some hints in this case.

Who would profit the most from physically cutting out Europe from Russian gas?

Consider the USA. They now plan to sell LNG to Europe for 4x the price it's sold domestically. This was still going to happen, but since the pipeline has been severed, it is now a certainty that the deal will go forward.

That is, the possibility of Europe getting scared of the crisis and backtracking on its distancing from Russia is now null. Now it's either rely on the US overpriced LNG or starve and suffer the cold. Isn't that convenient?

Given the low consideration the US have of Europe behind the curtains (who doesn't remember Victoria Nuland's famous "Fuck the EU"?), doesn't that make it even more evident?

> The wealthy have always enjoyed expensive lifestyles and hobbies.

Sorry to jump in.

There is a 2003 documentary by the name "Born Rich".

This is about the children from the wealthy people and how they are coping with the boredom of being able (afford) to do anything.

Many are naturally isolated and invent obscure hobbies and life-styles not fitting their "wealthy statuses".

Not sure how it is changing in more responsible adulthood, when it is becoming their turn to manage the estate. I guess this is then mostly about turf-wars among relatives.

(edit: formatting)
Agree. And improved efficiency in the car itself as well.

> One form of countersignaling is excess humility. It increases status for those who are already high status, but humility decreases status for those who are not high-status.

Great to see a scientific reason for one of my long held opinions: “humility policing” is a social tactic, and a very efficient one if you’re high status. Don’t fall for it. Resist the humility police. Give and claim credit where credit is due.
As others have commented, ISPs explicitly do not want this happening. One of the service tiers at my house was previously advertised as 900/35. 900 Mbps down, 35 mbps up. Now, there are no ISPs that rate the upload speed at all. At least one of the ISPs at my house has language in the contract that limits usage to that initiated by a live operator, so any sort of hosting is obviously prohibited. Another ISP solved this by delegating several /64 addresses, but only actually routing traffic for a single IPv6 address.
Are you using Chrome through Rosetta? I'm still unable to replicate this on either my desktop or laptop, both of them just idle when I open Gmail and neither will push past 5% usage while I'm opening emails. Your metrics seem a bit odd here.
"Long duration" storage doesn't have many economic use cases right now, unless the cost is a tiny tiny fraction of current storage costs. There are many startups developing tech for this, and one with the most hype (and the one I'm most excited about) is Form Energy, which is using iron-air chemistry.

Nonetheless, I do not expect to see a significant market demand for such batteries until into the 2030s; it takes a really high level of renewables penetration before it makes sense to start having long duration storage at the moment.

If there is a large need for it, I would expect that a lot of existing installations will be upgraded with longer duration, so that the same inverters and grid connection can be reused. New connections to the grid are becoming quite difficult to build on a reasonable time scale, and there's starting to be significant economic rent from just the permitting and connection stages.
I use https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator for my workspaces. Doesn't save ad-hoc layouts, but usually I find one layout that works per project, then create a tmuxinator config for it, so after reboot, it's a short "tmuxinator start $my-project" away to get back to how I want it to be.
If you want to sell your services, prioritize selling.

Getting Acquired as an Agency
hi,this is my first time posting here and am looking for some advice. I own a headhunting/recruiting firm that works with many startups and vcs across the globe (some enterprise as well). we've grown in the last two years from 0 people and 0 USD in revenue to +50 people and over 1M in annual revenue with very good margins. It has certainly been fun, but it's not my passion.

how should I go about getting acquired/selling? I'm mostly used to hearing about deals in the tech space for very different type of companies- not usually agencies/firms.

thanks in advance
