> Also on IP reputation. I think there's something off here.

IP-reputation is largely a thing of the past.

IP addresses are ephemeral and email providers understand that. Especially with IPv6, where an individual can have access to tens of thousands of addresses. So, all large email service providers have spam filters based on content, and domain reputation, not IP reputation. Misbehaving hosts may be periodically blocked based on IP, but this is never permanent. Otherwise email providers would be blocking the entire IPv4 internet by now.

If you have a domain that does not spam, and it is using DMARC + DKIM, then there is sufficient proof that an email sent on behalf of the domain is authentic and the email will be accepted no problem.

The only real problem with hosting your own email, is that it is usually impossible to host it from your residential internet connection, as ISPs do not allow you to 'own' your IP-address, by not allowing you to create PTR records.
This is all on purpose though, ISPs block it and email providers require it. It's is because there are just so many residential IP addresses that are part of a botnet sending spam.
How to write unmantainable code (2015)
My vote is all of these, with B/C/D being primary.

A: Sterile environments don’t properly prepare the immune system.

B/C/D: People with severe allergies and disabilities aren’t accepted as part of society. Often there is no support for them other than what their family can provide.

The sad fact is many people view medical problems as character flaws. If you were strong, you wouldn’t be sick.

So people die, hide, or never
realize their problems for what they are. My grandmother had food allergies her entire life. Never told anyone. She just didn’t eat things that made her sick. Despite being a nurse her entire life, she would say she didn’t have food allergies.

The way I see it these institutions should be razed - not because they "aren't fun" but because they're inherently exclusionary and produce a cadre of out-of-touch elites who think or operate as if the rest of us are genetically inferior for not passing their arbitrary class hurdles at 17.

The rest of us have nothing because these elites have everything.
Right, so you’re only saying that EVs are new, not that they’re more difficult to setup than a dryer.
Oh, yeah, I think Tesla's well past the point of fraud. Musk promised "1 million robotaxis by end of the year", and that year was 2020. I don't think the end justifies the means at all here.
The problem I have with these type of sites is how "issues" are always spun as a negative. I honestly wish GitHub had chosen a different word since a lot of projects use Issues for roadmap, planning, backlog, and more - not just actual bugs.

Unfortunately, GH Discussions hasn't really taken off because of, in my opinion, lack of integrations and bad SEO.
It is near the new year. Usually people take day offs or save their off days for these days and combine them. From 20th of december to first week of january people relax, don't work and see family they didn't see over a year. It is more of an excuse to celebrate stuff than anything religious to be honest.

My application is rather unique. It involves shipping VM images to end users. Which means the images can be downloaded many times. But the files shared over SMB would be the user's own files.
Thank you for the confirmation and support! I love where Linux gaming is going, but we really should be honest about it.

The easiest way to leave a bad impression on newcomers is... telling them one thing and having them see the exact opposite.

I recommend giving Linux a try, it's way more capable than it used to be. With that said, pack a parachute - you probably will find yourself needing to switch at times.
My understanding of the other poster's comment was that the triumph of school administrators over tenured professors was for some time a conservative goal and ostensibly a conservative win--but it looks like it has backfired.
This is a fantastic comment, and an incisive view of the problem. I don’t wish to sound to cynical, but in response to

> It’s perplexing to see this laid at the feet of academics …

I believe the answers are partly contained in your comment. For one, it’s in the professional interests of the administrative class to continue to demonize, marginalize, and disempower academics. For another, it’s in their political interests to continue pushing academic institutions towards job-training programs rather than expanding intellects.

> Just because someone spent a few tens of thousand dollars on an electric car doesn't mean they should be willing to drop $200 a night on hotels for a week straight.

I disagree. In my opinion if you can't afford to do that a few times per year without financial concern then you have no business spending $60k+ on a car. Having to sleep in your expensive car just so you can afford a vacation is ridiculous. There are much cheaper alternatives that won't force you to sacrifice other aspects of your life, such as your $2000 car.

I'm not even going to comment on your uncle's situation. Let's just say I would be working somewhere else if I had to resort to that.

Happy Soltice to you, too. I cringe that we have to end a tree's life so that we may maintain some tradition. Having said that, our kitten loves hanging out under the tree and smelling its pine needles. Still, I can't get over the fact that we end a tree's life for no reason at all (not that we need it to build shelter or something for our survival)
It's pretty clear the Stanford elite think of the people who go to public schools as either lazy or stupid, perhaps both (maybe add in a dash of "NPC"? That's the new mold of thinking it seems). They'll whine and complain but they won't change their preferences because the point of Stanford is to get away from the types of people that go to UNC.
Perhaps indirectly? The idea being Musk will have to pay by selling even more Tesla shares so Tesla shares will decline even further.
I easily notice the difference in my car, it goes from about 8L/100km in summer to 10L/100km in winter. That's on the same tyres in both seasons.
Christmas celebrates the birth or nativity of Jesus. The coming of the promised savior. Jesus' death and resurrection, religiously speaking, reconciled mankind with God. Jesus represents reconciliation and peace. Like the lost prodigal son who returns to his father and is welcomed with open arms.
You deserve a medal of honor. Thank you.
They should have simply have gone to their state school. That they didn't indicates quite a bit, imho (they think the rest of us who can't get in are subhuman, and in the Stanford case, are probably eugenicists explicitly).
The internal OS politics probably doesn't help so yeah -high drama is probably the killer right there.
The reality though is you could plant 100 - 200 fruit trees and make the same amount of money each year as the coffee plantation with 99% less work.

It's discouraging. It's encouraging. Encouraging to sell, because that decision makes by far the most sense. If I inherited a business that I have no experience in and that I would not have started by myself I wouldn't even bother with an 'Ask HN', I would have been on the phone to someone who brokers coffee plantations. Besides that, I don't drink coffee so I wouldn't even know if my product is any good.
The problem with that is that it requires to have all these security keys available in order to enrol them, which is not possible if you want to store one of them in a different secure location. If you have two keys in your pocket, that's not much of a backup; having two identical keys means that you can enrol the one in your pocket and if it gets lost, the copy from your safe works.
Just to be clear, whatever I said here - I have not said anything in defense of the information he made public and my issue is not with that.
Consider a 5 year old EV with reduced battery power due to age in the winter. This is looking at new. Practically speaking, it gets worse
> Something feels really off when I read that for 16,937 students, Stanford lists 2,288 faculty and 15,750 administrators.[a]

Major universities aren't primarily about educating undergraduates, and of course graduate students (about half of that student population at Stanford) are essentially "employees" from a economic production perspective. So really it's about 8k kids paying to learn near the activities of 10k researchers and academics, and the 16k administrators are just the staff needed to keep those 10k workers productive. Which... sounds about right to me?
I obviously care. And I didn't equate the two things.

The average state of the universe is hard vacuum with a sprinkling of hydrogen, but I'm still going to aim a bit higher myself. You do you, though.
There's like two or three forks out there. I'm not sure how active any of them are though.
The point of my comment is to object to your characterization of things like a breakthrough in physics as "news" because there are people somewhere who find it objectionable for some reason. It is a semantically valid interpretation of the post title but incongruent with its spirit.
We recently learned that Twitter was receiving money from the FBI that enabled the US government to censor users and suppress certain hashtags, etc. But TikTok is seemingly the only one the media is trying to push to get banned. Seems strange. Wish we had an honest media.
Spoken by someone who's never had their diesel fuel begin gelling in the fuel line at night on a frigid, remote highway and trying to figure out if you can make it to somewhere with heat before you stop completely. Then finding out they only have gasoline, so you try to figure out how much gas you can add to the diesel tank to keep it from gelling but still run adequately to move you along.

Sometimes we forget that we have 100 years of infrastructure behind our internal combustion engines and about 10 behind the electric vehicles.

In the first 10 years of internal combustion engines, you bought benzene at the local apothecary and used that to fuel your car.

Three years of EV in a more or less unheated garage and I'm still just charging off my 15A 120V outlet. It's fine. I plug in every other day or so. But you know what I don't do? Freeze my ass off standing in a gas station in subzero temperatures and howling winds! Not missing that at all.
Honestly, and I'm saying this with kindness, you are super hung up on Meson not having user-defined functions and their use of "Turing complete". Others have pointed out there are perfectly reasonable workarounds (external scripts and foreach loops aren't really that ugly), but you're just so miffed you refuse to consider them.

A lot of build systems won't support what you're asking here. Most don't do multi-stage builds, most don't have the concept of functions, many rely on external tools (autotools, pkg-config, etc). They're not "unfit for human consumption", which is pretty offensive to the people who chose Meson for their projects as well as Meson developers.

I get that you're offended by the situation. I might even agree with you in principle. But you're all over a Meson release thread, their 1.0 release thread even, shitting all over them, on Christmas Eve! Lighten up!

Cars work in low density areas where they don't interact with high density areas, but even then, they're best on dirt roads and gravel where the residents can do all the maintenance.

In mid density areas like single family suburban housing, neither works very well
Yes, or you get screwed out of your share in some tricky way. If you do not have experience in the market how do you know if you're getting cleaned out?

The people behind these efforts exploit the basic agreeableness, tolerance, and good nature of students everywhere. What I see on the other side of the 90's was that behind almost every "transgressive, alternative" culture participant was an authoritian personality expressed as punk resentment. None of them cared about the oppressed, it's just a means to an end where they elevate themselves through criticism using the oppressed as examples and a front for their own more petty grievences.

Things like green hair and other alternative culture tropes used to signal an anti-authoritarian attitude, but now it signals a hyper authoritarian one using rote criticisms to target anything simple enough that others just enjoy, and which others won't match the irrational aggression being used against them to defend their simple enjoyment of it, and in yielding, it just empowers these bullies.

We need to stop believing and listening to histrionic authoritarian personalities. It was a mistake, and they systematically abuse the very tolerance that characterizes western culture with a simple escalating bullying technique of, "oh, so you say you are tolerant, do you tolerate this moral abomination? No? Well then you are intolerant and if you don't denounce your own dispicable intolerance hard enough, then surely you are a collaborator! Pay me off and I won't tell the world what a disgusting person you are!"

Stanford (and other universities) got hustled by the oldest hustle since street corners were invented, and they're both too naive to figure it out, and too conceited to admit they have been taken by less intelligent but galactically more street smart people they thought they could just be nice to and help. Stanford doesn't hate fun, it just has a terminal ideological cancer.
"Don't talk to strangers!"

Having been told this over and over again as a child there is a taboo that was set up about it. It's not right obviously. As a small child of course it is can be dangerous to talk to strangers but it is the worst kind of fear-mongering.

That's not to say that kids don't need to be protected and that there isn't caution to be had for small children. But the blanket statement "Don't talk to strangers!" tends to stick with people just like riding the bike on the wrong side of the road so you can see cars coming, because that's what they were told to do as children. In practice though even that is quite dangerous.

Clearly these both have benefits in their context but unfortunately there is no expiration date given for them.
That’s funny: I remember seeing it in the mid-to-late 90s and being amazed at how lax the security was. I took several pics and walked all around it.
For what it's worth, I'm a curmudgeonly atheist who found that HDM steadily decreased in quality over the course of the three books as it ramped up the anti-religious emphasis. It's definitely not the case that the only people who find it annoying are those who feel that their own religion is being attacked.
Merry Christmas HN, and especially to Dang. This is a wonderful community, a rare gem on the Internet and I feel fortunate to be part of it.
Prob not fitting your criteria but the Withings band does interesting things like detect when my night time heart beat is high and reasonably guesses that I have a fever. Which I do. I have the BP monitor and scales as well and they work well together but it's the band that as seems to reveal the most insights.
With an ICE car, if you park regularly in very cold weather, your car can fail randomly for an obscure reason and it can take a long time to figure it out or you will need a trip to the mechanic. Or you may need a massive and expensive repair.

Remember that a lot of people have to spend 10-15 minutes warming up their cars before they drive them in cold weather.

I do not want to go into details, better car mechanics than me should, but there is all kind of chaos that can happen if your engine freezes and you try to drive it immediately. And it is much more complex and can be much more expensive. Once you start getting cracks in various things and liquids flowing where they should not be you will wish for the simplicity of just plugging in your EV.

So lets not pretend that driving in the cold is some kind of new problem that EVs introduced.
Can I come visit? I would love to hear what running a coffee plantation is like, especially in Colombia.
This is the problem I'm working on.

Independent threads are as independently fast as a single core and they slow down overall when synchronization is introduced. Amdahls law means that the cost of sequential tasks approaches the majority of time compared to the parallel speed up.

My design is to shard by thread. Each thread or machine maintains a sorted shard of the data. Erlang takes a similar approach. If you want a total order view, then you N way mergesort.

I have a lock free algorithm that can do about 1.2 million synchronizations a second across 11 threads. My lock benchmark does 3,444,152 3.4 million requests per second with 11 threads so my lock free algorithm isn't as good as locks. My lock free algorithm doesn't block though.

I'm thinking of calibrating message rate by increasing latency to increase throughput and limit interference for the lock. If I increase message rate to 2500-25000 messages then more messages get transferred per synchronization event.
And they can be -that's why we have dictionaries.

Terms DO have meanings whether contrarians and the argumentative want to acknowledge those meanings or not.
It's worth what the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund is willing to pay for it.
But most of those “worries” are things you do upfront when choosing where to live or what car to get. And most of those worries have analogous worries for ICE vehicles if you’re really going to be living or frequently driving in extreme cold temperatures or snowy/icy weather. If you live in the Bay Area you probably can’t just take your ICE vehicle to Tahoe on a whim in the winter. You’ll have to consider for a moment what car you have, what kind of tires are on it, and what the weather and road conditions are. Again, it’s upfront “worrying,” not some constant sense of dread that you can’t eliminate with a bit of upfront consideration.
It's not financial concern. My uncle could definitely afford to rent a hotel room, but he doesn't mind sleeping in his car and he would rather spend that money on something else. Heck, I could afford a hotel too, but I would rather sleep in my $2000 car.
In colder climates, it's common to have an engine block heater, which to some extent mitigates this. A significant chunk of the lost "mileage" is from cold starts.
Merry Christmas to you all :)

I found Jack London's story so compelling as a kid when I read it. Perhaps it was because I grew up in snowy, cold winter part of the country. Maybe that's why I have around a dozen books on survival, living off the land, tracking, nuclear bomb shelters, etc.

> We don't tell our kids to give up programming because they have no idea how much pain dealing with javascript is.

Learning to program is low risk, high reward. The absolute worst thing that can come from failing is the hard drive space used by VSCode and the lost evenings you were going to waste on Minecraft anyway. Meanwhile, the reward is a lucrative software engineering job or at least the ability to make neat stuff. No reason not to give it a try; if you like it, you gained a new skill. If you dislike it, you find some other hobby. A maximum of $0 will be spent. Maybe $20 if you buy a book or something.

The same is not true of an industrial coffee farm. Property tax bills will come due. Employees have to be hired and then fired when you fail. Specialized machinery needs to be purchased and will be useless when you give up.

If you've got a few million dollars in your bank account that's burning a hole in your pocket, then I suppose "learn the coffee trade by buying a full-scale manor" is something you could do. If you don't, then cash out now and use the money to build a business you'll actually succeed in. If you just want to learn how to grow and roast coffee, plant a coffee tree in your backyard. When you get bored and it dies, pay someone $200 to remove it.

I definitely get these ideas in my head all the time. I was watching some video about a box factory and was like I should own a box factory. You get a cool industrial loft, and there are machines in there, and guys with trucks come to pick up your boxes. Easy money easy life!! The I realize the video is a safety investigation video and the box factory blew up and killed everyone in the neighborhood because water coming into the plant had too much oxygen in it and am like; wait I don't know anything about any of this stuff. I will stick to programming for the time being.
Living in a region were you need to warm up car for 5 minutes to stop it being an unwelcoming block of ice, and experiencing frequent failures to get the starter running due to discharged battery due to cold, I always wondered how much cold affects battery performance and his much the heating costs in miles. Tesla's figures look unbelievably good, and I think they don't account for heating. In -20° you'd need at least 1-2 kWt heater to not freeze, so heating alone would take 5-10% of total energy consumption.
