I host email from my basement. Rackmount server down there runs all my VMs, including ones for Postfix, Dovecot, and Rspamd. Apache Solr/Tika are connected to dovecot for full-text IMAP search. Never had any issues, but I have postfix on a static IP from a business-class cable internet connection, so I'm sure that helps.

Dovecot and the postfix submission port (587) are only accessible internally, or through my home wireguard VPN.

Rspamd catches just about all junk mail. I might have one or two messages a week slip through. Moving messages to/from the Junk folder trains Rspamd to recognize spam/ham.

Make sure the IP of your mail server has reverse DNS in place, and set up SPF/DMARC records and DKIM signing, and you should be fine. I've been doing this for a decade and never had any problems.

I do maintain a separate, paid email account at a commercial provider for things like banking. In case I die, I don't want my poor wife to deal with my crazy email setup.

This topic always brings up so many hysterical naysayers, I almost wonder if some are paid Gmail shills!
The law is inherently technical. "Technically illegal" is simply "illegal".

And it is completely false that this only affects the "industry itself". There are other federal laws that concern the rights and privileges of people who use illegal drugs. For instance, if you use federally illegal drugs, you may not legally purchase (or possess) a firearm. There are other examples in terms of employment, etc.
That's totally possible. There is definitely a potential timeline where it just gets basically ignored.

The big divide is really by age. Older voters (in both parties) tend to oppose it. 72% of people under 30 are pro-legalization, but only 30% of people older than 75 are. The average for all US adults is 60%.

Younger voters' low turnout messes up the calculus here. But as soon as the number of young voters you'd gain exceeds the number of old voters a candidate would lose, you'll start to see this play out, and I think we're really close to that tipping point.

circa eight years ago I read I book that was basically a compilation of how to "blockchain everything". nothing much of that long list came to pass (overt or covert money printing schemes don't count) and it isn't because there wasn't enough brain power, time, political influence and money invested. its not that concept failed because execution wasn't perfect and people had high expectations. in fact every trick on the book was used. to no avail. there is little to showcase or at least iterate on.

there really should be a deep study to understand what has (not) happened and why. I believe one conclusion of such a study might be that the tech sector in its current incarnation is too detached from the core of society. unregulated, unchallenged, arcane and self-absorbed, essentially untethered, yet at the same time endowed with enormous resources on the premise that it is a golden goose (the very naming web3 alludes to this projection). in essence it operates in a different universe (so metaverse may not be too wide off the mark)

whatever the next tech era will look like it will bear the scars of this recent past
Beyond all that, what happened with SBF & co shows that even the better-sounding crypto projects may eventually involve criminal liability for some of those involved.
I run a small cheap public VPS (512 megs RAM) which only runs Wireguard. It takes the public ports and tunnels them to my home machine (2 Gig VM) running Ubuntu running postfix, dovecot, mysql (for users, domains, aliases), fully self-hosted over 20 years. That's for personal and some business. I run my own simple spam fighting service I wrote in plain Java and run it in Docker. The same 2 Gig VM also runs my multiple web sites all in Java. That same 2 Gig VM runs on KVM on an Ubuntu host.

I use Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo for stuff I don't really feel is personal but potentially important, useful or otherwise interesting.

I thought the legal process was more about justice than fun.
I think the fact you mention billable hours is telling. What about caring about problems and their solutions?

Because that's the core driver for me. I often feel other programmers fall into this trap of technology usage for the sake of technology usage and less about solving real problems.

I think having a distaste for process is justified when working in environments where there's no buy in from the team...but don't assume that applies to "many of us"

That's a fair point. I guess attacking the problem from another angle helps then - simplifying the computer UI and minimising the number of situations where an alarm could be warranted in the first place.

i don't like ppl with power over my employment and salary doing code reviews.

I had a CTO once doing random code reviews without knowing complete context. It was hard to contradict him or much easier to just accept the suggestion and move on.
That is true, but the point of the article is a little more subtle: not only exposure helps, but most of us hold the irrational belief that strangers are not interested in talking with us, and this study shows that strangers are actually more pleasant and forthcoming than one might think they are.

I am terrible with striking conversations with random people on the street or outside of settings I know I have to meet someone. But the 3 or 4 times in my life I had to interact with complete strangers, or groups of them, it always went better than expected. Anyone that has taken a little MDMA at a party will have experienced it: when you make a point of introducing yourself to everyone, people tend to be quite friendly and open.

While there are no technical reasons it couldn’t be done, the performance in this specific case would be abysmal. As an otherwise happy PinePhone owner the performance is sadly lacking even in native applications.

Maybe the PinePhone Pro could handle running it somewhat smoothly.
Yes. VPS with Mailcow. Easy to set up and configure, even the DNS stuff. You do need a rather beefy VPS (6GB of RAM or so) if you want to enable mail indexing and antivirus, though, it's costing me about 8 euros a month for hosting (though I'm also using the server for other stuff so it's not just email) and about 12 euros a year for the domain.
It's always weird to read things like that because I definitely mistreat my cables, and I've had lots die, but my Apple ones hold up very well. I have just one Lighthing cable that recently broke and that one was from 2013 IIRC so I guess that's ok. Everything else seems to hold up about as well as expensive Anker cables, if not better, including Macbook chargers going back to 2005 or so. I'm in the EU though, maybe the cables I get are different in some way?

My mom used to study this stuff, and her conjecture was that the “low fat” craziness happened around the same time as people being unable to cook for themselves.

When you eat your Trader Joe’s frozen whatever, it is often fortified with soy or pea proteins and different stuff to preserve taste and appearance. Chain restaurant stuff is similar.

Once in awhile, no big deal, but many people are incapable of cooking. My local library has a class in cutting onions and other vegetables booked out till April. Lots of kids grow up with soy formula and frozen chicken nuggets. Pre 1990, no human ate that stuff.
> Mainstream full self driving would just create massive traffic and gridlock

I believe the opposite is the more likely outcome: I think we can expect much lighter traffic the more autonomous vehicles there are.

Most traffic is caused by humans doing really irrational things, like following each other too closely, making unnecessary lane changes, and driving at inconsistent speeds. It's very rare that traffic congestion is actually caused by roads' lack of bandwidth.

> What do we think if e.g. the Coca-Cola Company got in the pot business? Is the fact that these Federal constraints are keeping big business out of the pot business good or bad?

That's one of the biggest fears of cannabis producers in states where it's currently legal, and it's actually a reason for some of the small business not supporting federal legalization. They don't want Amazon to invest billions of dollars, completely destroying current dispensaries.

I think the problem is that in the world of billion to trillion dollar corporations, like Amazon or Wallmart, the business can't be mediocre to survive. In the past, simply being "all right" got you by, but big corporations can do "all right" products. To survive nowadays, businesses must differentiate from the corporations to survive.

For the consumers, I think corporations taking over "all right" businesses is a good thing. For the society at large..? This probably shrinks the middle class throughout the world, and increases inequality in multiple ways, e.g. the inequality between the one CEO (and upper management) and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of employees. So I'd personally count that as a "probably pretty horrible" reality.

Yup, OpenBSD + OpenSMTPD off a wholesaleinternet dedicated box, for roughly a dozen domains. Previously, Postfix and/or qmail.

Their webform for such matters goes nowhere, and postmaster@ goes unanswered.

There's an inherent gap between managers and programmers, which does indeed makes programmers the best managers. As a manager, you don't know what does "better architecture" mean. You don't know which practices of your favorite methodology are bullshit. You're always left guessing.

Unlike business, programming has a steep learning curve. Managers cannot understand programming, but programmers can understand business needs.

At the same time, people who become programmers, typically lack skills required for managers. They also lack interest into those skills. So most programmers turned managers are a complete disaster.

Basically programmer-managers have greater variability: some of them are the best, but most are the worst. Promoting programmer to a manager is a high-risk high-reward gamble.

The distribution is inverted bell curve, so examples/counter-examples are pointless, they are just anecdotes.
You should read the article, it's pretty interesting!
The overton window has shifted. It is no longer popular for armies of feds to raid businesses acting entirely within state laws and only performing intrastate commerce.

The President of the United States, head of Executive branch, directed with enforcement of Federal law has pardoned ALL federal marijuana convictions and doesn't plan to pursue more.

It is effectively legal federally, no matter how much that makes you clutch your pearls.

The current federal government has determined it to be an issue left to the states. Reducing the influence the federal government has in everyday American's lives, it's left the Republican party in quite an ironic situation.
I’m genuinely troubled by the implied suggestion that thoughtful people should avoid, or be put off by works they either disagree with or find uncomfortable, or might dislike for any reason. Anything can be read and analysed by a thoughtful person.

I visited a relative in hospital recently and found myself listening to the audio of a super-trashy TV show a patient in the next bed was watching. It was fascinating. The acting was wooden and stilted as though being read out from the page, the dialogue was so direct and explicit it was painful “You know why I hate him so much, because he cheated me out of my inheritance!”. It was almost Mexican soap opera level. And yet it was captivating, because I found myself wondering about the business model that produces such material, who the audience is, what it’s like to be an actor on a drama like that. Even if something is terrible, there’s so much to analyse to discover why it’s terrible, and why some people might like it anyway.
Show HN: MassGPT, a multi-user GPT Telegram Bot
MassGPT (https://t.me/MassGPTbot) is an open source Telegram bot that interacts with users by responding to messages via a GPT3.5 completion that is conditioned by a shared sub-prompt context of all recent user messages.

Message the MassGPT telegram bot directly, and it will respond back to you taking into account the content of relevant messages it has received from others. Users are assigned a numeric user id that does not leak any Telegram user info. The messages you send are not private as they are accessible to other users via the bot or via the /context command.

You can also send the bot a url to inject a summary of the url’s corresponding text into the current context. Use the /context command to see the entire current context.

Currently there is one global chat context of recent messages from other users, but I plan to scale this by using an embedding of the user message to dynamically assemble a relevant context via ANN query of past messages, message summaries, and url summaries.

There are several motivations for creating this. One is to explore chatting with a LLM where the model is presenting some partial consensus of other user’s current inputs instead of the model’s background representations. Another is to explore dynamic prompt contexts which should have a lot of interesting applications given that GPT seems much less likely to hallucinate when summarizing from its current prompt context.

Open to PRs if you are interested in hacking on this in any way, or feel free to DM me @ wskish on Twitter or Telegram.
The human eye can perceive 21 stops dynamic range, much better than regular cameras. Event cameras might solve that issue, but they're not used other than in research at the moment.
While still federally illegal, they have not done these raids regularly for years. In 2015 a judge ordered the federal government to stop going after medical places in legal states [1]. If I recall correctly the Obama Admin ordered the DEA to stop busting shops in recreational legal states too. I am unsure if the GOP's recent tenure in the Whitehouse reversed these common sense ideas.

Federal laws mandating absurdly costly subsidies of very small minorities is not what "high-trust society" means.

You're right in one sense - living in a low-trust society is very socially inefficient. I just don't think you have a working model of why we're becoming low-trust. It certainly has nothing to do with accommodating rare allergies.
So a defendent accused of massive fraud was released on the mere promise to pay $250 million if he does not show up to court? Money that he himself says he does not have? I get most of the reasoning, but that part really makes no sense to me. Yes, his parents would be bankrupted, too, but still.
Hosting my own for more than 10 years. Using a hosting provider's box. Postfix, dovecot, roundcube stack, and letsencrypt certs. Postfix is pretty solid. Install and forget.

First thing I do when moving to a new server is check whether the new box's IP is black listed in any mail-blacklist-dns service. If not, it's good.

What I have also found is that Gmail and other services are relatively forgiving on your server's IP, but marks mail as spam based on context and content.
Why are we linking to trash like Fox News on HN?
By that argument, it is not "socially efficient" to make any accommodations to disability.

It would be "socially efficient" to euthanize our elderly once they pass the age at which they can work optimally.

We have, as a society, decided that we value human life and dignity more than any of that kind of "social efficiency".
Having lost a few months of email when my mail server crashed, it’s something you whine about for a day or two but then it’s business as usual.

As with all insurance you pay for what you want to risk. It didn’t hurt me much but I still went to daily offsite backups for my mailserver. The biggest gripe was standing up a new mailserver, make sure you keep your software up to date yall
I do not inderstand what you are arguing against.

Are you saying US is not a signatory to the convention?

Are you saying that US is not bound by international agreements, treaties and contracts that it has signed up to, of it's own accord?

Are you saying that US can leave the agreement at any time? (I beleive it can)

Or are you saying that is US breaks the obligations it signed up to, the UN cannot hold it accountable?
But you don't know if they deleted all the backups. You'll never be sure you are safe.
Traction control software uses touch (knowing how much grip tires have via slip), proprioception (knowing the steering angle), equilibroperception (accelerometers).
Idk about that. I think it's code with everything declared at the beginning of the scope is easier to read and understand. Every time I see code written in this style (Git, Linux) it's easier to build a mental model of what is happening.
> who targets a single platform in 2022 ?

Me, in the last 3 jobs I worked on. In fact, the majority of my career targets a single platform. I believe it's common for applications to target only one platform. Even when Windows is the first such platform. Heck, I've even read some advice about re-writing your application instead of trying to make it multi-platform.

Libraries are different, though. And that application you plan to rewrite 3-6 times should probably offload the entire business logic to a truly multi-platform library. So I guess meta-build systems could possibly make some sense there.

Still, what I've seen in practice is an extremely shallow layer of non-abstraction that just hides what actual commands happen under the hood. I know how to call a compiler on the command line, I know its inputs and output, and I can reuse this knowledge when I write a Makefile. CMake, not so much.

> on the other hand I had a lot of time people ask me to have support for working on the project from either Xcode, Visual Studio or others IDE. How do you do that without a meta-build system?

My feeling is that it's not the job of the (meta) build system to support the idiosyncrasies of the latest IDE (or editor) of the day. It's the job of the IDE to provide what users need to call the right build command for the right situation (build debug, build release, clean…). And for fancy stuff like auto-completion and jump to definition, the IDE should provide the necessary magic independently of the actual build system used.

If this independence between the build system and the IDE cannot be achieved, then maybe the language is the problem. I know, people are doing real work and have no time for long term plans. Just, the absence of a short term solution doesn't mean there is no problem.
I highly recommend to use https://tailwindcss.com/, because it has a very small abstraction layer so is easier to understand. And it means you work only need a single .html file with everything you want so near zero context-switch.

You can see is doable looking at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tailwindcss+timeline, but the real question is how to learn it.

Apart of the other comments, a good suggestion about this:

- Your MAIN goal is to build structure/layout first, then later visual flairs

This is the most key thing.

- Start from the inside and go outward.

So, if you are doing a form field, you start with the input, put the details (like an icon at the left), then the label, then layout both (putting the label on top for example), etc.

- Make your html editor format the HTML, and try to build a good hierarchy structure

So for example:

<div class="flex">
<div class="flex-none w-14 h-14">
01
</div>
<div class="flex-initial w-32 ...">
03
</div>
</div>

You wanna see at the code and have 100% clear what is the order of things. Also make spaces that separate components, so is easier to see when something end/start.

--

I will put my major focus in the things that in https://tailwindcss.com/docs are on "Layout", "Flexbox & Grid".

DO THE EXAMPLES YOURSELF, not just "read the tutorial", do it with your own hand and see how things change and flow. When you get how do layout the rest is far easier.
