That seems to be an odd way of looking at it, IMO. Most of the time, the entire point of building an API is to present consistent functionality to any consumer, not only ones under your control. Also, a well-behaved API is versioned so as to allow evolution of the API without breaking existing clients who can upgrade to new versions as they are able.
Yes, I can see that! It's not that the skeptics weren't there before, it's that the Elon defenders are less willing to speak up than they were.
Yeah not sure I’d call this a “solution” but at the same time I hope someone told Null about their situation at some point and they weren’t stuck in generic IT support and response hell throughout their life without understanding why.
Mailinabox on a droplet, on a domain I own. Has worked great for 7 years now. I receive *@mydomain.com, and when I sign up for a service X I give them servicex@mydomain.com. Good for spam control and that way I know who is selling my address.

Recently I've been using docker-mailserver with my web apps and that's great too.
Ask HN: How can we make Congress's law changes more legible?
"Congress routinely passes major legilation in a multi-thousand-page bill crafted at the end of the year with no time to read when everyone is out"

Seems bad!

Who is in a position to fix this and how could they fix it?
I've been running my own email server for 20+ years. As of now, it costs well under 10€/month at Hetzner Cloud and it uses Debian jessie and whatever exim and dovecot that came with it.

It also hosts my private git repositories in /var/git and a few other services and websites.

One day, I will migrate it to Arch Linux.
I had a couple people tell me my mails went to spam, but I reckon it was just an excuse for not answering. Apart from that, I never had any problem at all in the 5 years I've used them with a custom domain.

Their spam system works great but needs some breaking in: to train it, you need to have marked and deleted 200 spam emails. Only when you delete spam, the system updates its filter. I had some annoying spam that kept landing in my inbox, I had to create an automated "send to spam" rule until the personal spam filter started kicking in.
I would like to have sticky elements on non parents. Very handy when you want to replicate android tab and header collapse functionality. Currently only possible with scroll listeners who are too slow and always show slight hickups.
A lot of comments here seem to be extremely pessimistic of self driving (not just Tesla, but in general), claiming that it's "decades away".

As someone who has been following fairly closely the advances in self driving, I think most people are underestimating the current state and rate of improvement of these systems.

For Tesla, it's currently "L2+". Here's an example[1] of how good or bad it currently is, in a fairly easy environment. Just a year ago it was an absolute mess, even though it still has a long way to go, the improvement rate is really good. In places like Manhattan it's a mess, but I don't think FSD needs to be able to handle Manhattan to be useful, because not everybody lives in Manhattan.

For Waymo, it's currently L4 (operating without driver), however available only in very select locations. Here's an example[2]

Regarding vision vs lidar, anybody in the field knows that both approaches are viable for self driving[3], it's just a matter of which can get you there sooner (and LIDAR is basically agreed upon to be an easier but more expensive approach).

I used to think Tesla FSD was doomed to fail, computer vision good enough for self driving was more than a decade away, but I've changed my mind since. I now think vision based is viable, and really important because it will enable self driving for mainstream cars (not just expensive robotaxis)

From what I've seen, Tesla's FSD perception is quite good already, and the majority of the times FSD messes up it's because of it's planner, not because of perception. And that's considering it's cameras and computers are quite old already, when they decide to upgrade them it will lead to a pretty large improvement to perception.

My current estimate is that Tesla will achieve L3 in 2 years, and L4 in 4 years. It will require a HW upgrade (cameras and computer).

Stop answering e-mails. No, seriously.
> the retort comes up because charging egregiously to use public roads that they're all paying for with their tax money makes no sense.

So, stop paying for the roads with tax money. Fully internalize the costs with user fees, directing tax spending elsewhere, and the argument about fairness of tax spending goes away. In fact, raise the user fees high enough that the road users are subsidizing other public projects, specifically mass transit, as well as paying the full cost of the roads.
Thanks. Using chemicals that can blind you -- that's a recipe dealbreaker if ever there was one.
How is Congress choosing not to allow a free app on devices they purchase even remotely a punishment?

Nesting (like the `&` parent in Sass) is mentioned, for now there is a PostCSS plugin for it.

hah. For years I've been telling people I know to NEVER trust all their security to one-password services. Given so many tech companies penchant for playing stupid and loose with internal security without customers even being aware of it, this kind of thing was bound to happen. All the worse to trust a password vault service under the circumstances.

Too many people who should know better on this site itself kept recommending things like Lastpass... Incredible.
Email was designed for people to store their own email on their own device. Webmail changed habits and perception, but it's still possible to store email on your device(s) via IMAP etc. If you use a traditional fat client, you won't "lose" anything switching providers. However, responsibility for backups and disaster recovery falls (back) on your shoulders. This is the trade-off that keeps people on webmail, IMHO, even more than having to deal with blacklists, etc.
What are you talking about, every Apple USB and Lightning cable I've ever had has had strain relief on both ends.

There's the main plug in a plastic housing, and then there's an extra-thick rubber part about a centimeter long which is the strain relief wrapped around the cable, and then the rest of the cable itself. Clearly visible in any product photograph close-up.

> Using an issue reported (in a Linux compatibility layer, even!)

It looks like its an issue with the bridge, nothing to do with WSL, but that is pretty much the only place on the internet to report it. The bridge is literally sending packets to the wrong interface (an interface that isn't even a part of the bridge!). Since it's closed source, no one except Microsoft can look into it.

But to figure out what was wrong took a really deep dive into Windows networking, and it is bonkers, absolutely bonkers. At least compared to every other networking stack I've ever deep dived into. Maybe if you spend enough time with it, everything else looks bonkers. So maybe you're correct:

> I guess, in general, software (and networking) is 'bonkers'.
How is it inaccurate? Cannabis is legal in much of the country (at the state level) and the businesses are blocked from much of the banking system because it's federally illegal.

It will likely end as culture warring weirdos in their spectrum's echo chamber while normal people leave for commercial sites or go back to Twitter. Mastodon needs a culture of openness and general tolerance that it does not have and has made no real effort to foster.
Full Self Driveling

Drivel == non-sense
Interesting twitter thread - I'll see if I can read through all of it at some point.

As an atheist, I'd propose that the bible/scriptures aren't self consistent and I'd describe a lot of stuff as being clunky or not logical within them (though a generous interpretation would be that details have been lost in translation/transcription).

Historically, it seems to me that eunuchs were often considered as the typical asexual gender, and they were made by removing parts from a male, so it could be argued that Abrahamic god was male and the angels were created as less-than-male eunuchs. Of course that doesn't explain angels with breasts.

Edit: read through the thread, it wasn't as long as I first thought. Some fun ideas there, but the side wound being a vagina doesn't sound convincing to me (but then I'm no theologian).
It has. There was a small controversy in 2016 when Kellogg's started adding peanut flour to some snacks to avoid cross-contamination concerns; one that's still around is their cheese crackers (https://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/products/austin-cheese-cracke...). The source article focuses a lot on bread bakeries, where peanuts are rare and sesame is extremely common.
I run Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassassin and Amavis/ClamAV. Works like a charm.

One day I ran in some problem with backscatter causing my mail server to be listed. It's good to setup your server to be less prone to this, I wrote a blog post with some configs / tips:

https://willem.com/blog/2019-09-10_fighting-backscatter-spam...
I got one self-hosted setup: Postfix, dovecot, both IPv4 and IPv6. It has been working for 15+ years and is still going strong. Never had any major deliverability issues.

In my new company we are using Gmail though. Easier to manage for non-tech people and it’s fully managed.
HTML5 would not have existed without flash.

Your idea to outlaw imperfect solutions is noble, but misses the fact that mature solutions learn from earlier, imperfect work.

If we’re fining or jailing people for releasing and/or using hacked together code, it either means no progress or rubber-stamp standards bodies that approve everything.

And I feel a little sorry for 13-year-old me, who presumably you would have treated harshly for releasing some BBS software that saw wide adoption when I “should have” invented IPv6 instead.
Prediction: Dems will make a move on federal legalization in the months before the 2024 presidential election, or at least make federal legalization a major election issue.

A lot of right wing / libertarian adjacent people were hoping Trump would come out in favor of it as a 2020 election issue, to outflank Biden on at least one issue. It didn't happen, but I bet it would have made the election a bit closer -- it would have cooled support for Biden by a lot of younger and disillusioned voters.

I predict they'll make it a campaign issue and force the Republican candidate to come out strongly against it, to try to cool support from a lot of younger and pro-legalization Republicans.

Can you tell us what threshold for self-driving cars is allowable then? Half the rate of human drivers? One-tenth? And explain why they are expected to be better.
I run a OpenSMTPD+Dovecot SMTP server on a rented VPS with my own domain. It /mostly/ runs fine, but when something breaks, that's really annoying.
I think using a paid service with your own domain is probably a lot superior from a technical perspective, but I do like to do some weird things with my email that self-hosting allows me to. I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you don't have a decent amount of free time and technical knowledge.
Yeah, 40-60 percent seems way to low. I’d expect more in the neighborhood of 80% for most of the people here on HN
Obfuscation with encryption can be done with good ciphers, like AES, but the key is still shipped with the code, so it's still just cat and mouse.

It's a little different if the key is hardware specific, so each binary only runs on one system and it's hard to extract the keys, but that's not a typical setup. Usually it's this code needs to run on the general public's computers or phones, and that's too general a target to rely on hardware crypto.
+1 Bitwarden. I pay for orgs but the free version is just fine.
'get an ad-hoc message out'

Being after the event was resolved, it may be post-hoc.
Sesame seeds on buns were popularized by the introduction of the Big Mac in the 60s. They weren't the first, but they definitely propelled it into the mainstream. The original purpose is lost to history but it was likely just for visual appeal.
It also means they don’t feel confident enough in their cleaning process and would prefer to add cost to their manufacturing process than to ensure clean machines

Is there evidence for the “Cobra Effect” story?: r/AskHistorians
I used to in the late 90s early 2000s, but it became impractical. I also maintained one as part of my job in the 2000s, and it became obvious that the amount of upkeep/time was not worth it just to host it yourself.

The main headache? Anti-spam. A lot of IP ranges are just outright broadly blacklisted (e.g. residential IPs, some hosting services), but also a lot of individual IPs reused by hosting providers got blacklisted for actually sending spam. Then you have trust scores which are a huge chicken/egg headache (how do you gain trust while being span-binned from the get-go?). You'll spend your days asking to get unblocked from various random third party providers that you may never have heard of (e.g. email a small business about their online shop, and their email vendor bounced you because they never heard of you, they take ten days to respond, and now it takes two weeks to email some random small business).

Plus the ever-changing requirements (and they ARE requirements, if you lack reverse DNS/DMARC/SPF/DKIM/TLSA/valid certificates you will be blocked).

It is just a headache, time, and it actually costs more for the pleasure. Free Google Workspaces killed 90% of people self-hosting, too bad it costs tons of money these days.
> decentralized file storage, lending protocols, stablecoins (Dai in particular)

I mean...yeah! Go builders! I wish you success. But I have my doubts around these ones.

Decentralized file storage seems maybe to be better addressed by IPFS, which uses cryptographic protocols but isn't cryptocurrency.

Stablecoins are mathematically and conceptually fascinating (like most of this space!), but what do they get you that you don't get with fiat currency? The answer I've actually seen applicable here (aside from "enable black markets") is to enable fairly paying people across borders that live in places with absurdly distorted exchange rates. So that's a win as a transfer medium; less so for storage (Cf. all the stablecoins that've unpegged recently).

I freely admit not being sufficiently educated around the current state of lending protocols in the cryptocurrency space to have an informed opinion.

Your speculation is baseless. Basically no countries and states want to kill under a percent of another country. I can't think of a single example.

World War 1 killed a lot more than 1% of the involved population.

Honestly, just giving up and "losing" WW1 would have been way less bad for the commoners than actually fighting was.

The problem with wanting to fight wars is that deterrence doesn't work (e.g. see the past 10 wars). The incentives leaders are subject to often makes starting a war the best option for them personally, even if its bad for the population.

Btw: its exactly warmongers like you who need to be silenced to have any chance of a durable peace that doesn't kill a million Iraqis ;)
Yeah that sounds about right. I was more musing about the philosophical boundary between math and engineering (math being a creative pursuit and engineering being about outcomes).

I can't quite pin it down, like with a definition, but I'm tempted to say that if it has a linter it's not math anymore, even if it once was.
How many engineer hours have been lost to: "C pointers are just ptr instead of (ptr, len)"?

Really excited for Jonathan Blow's JAI, but wishing it were already released...
I these holidays will be the most chill in maybe a decade.

That 1.7 trillion USD omnibus package was passed. Mitch McConnell seemed pretty happy, along with the Democrat caucus. Things are starting to look normal again.

Georgia voted for Brian Kemp and Warnock in the same election. Another data point pointing towards the newfound chillness.
Where is it located? Is it a region that has experience growing coffee? Because perhaps you can link up with a coffee distributor or a fellow farmer and get their advice. Also to be clear unless the coffee is in a warm high grown area, or on an island, it may not be worth a lot.
The problem is that I can't afford a PR specialist, any more than poor people can just go buy more money, and the adversaries can.

The only unknown is how seriously they are going to attack me. They don't really gain anything, so it could be no more than a couple sock puppets on Twitter. Or it could be a full force affair.
It would be fun for it to support texting using T9 on the dial.

Well there are studies about the effects of TikTok. On sone level, it’s just common see sense. Whether it is a true campaign as such is questionable but it is clear the CCP tries to prevent its population being “dumbed down” from social media and other forms of entertainment and they are probably not unhappy to see the kind of content and its effects that TikTok has on the US population.
To be more specific... too much cash is dangerous and impractical.
It's almost as if ... Tolkien were a painter painting a tree, but he kept painting and repainting his first leaf.

Its also very tricky to get the bretzel to become perfect, you need a real baker oven that can bring the heat. Then you dunk it into the solution, you shoot it into the oven, and leave the oven door open for about 2 minutes of the baking time. This allows for the "mirror" finnish of the bretzel, you only get when they are properly baked.

Frozzen with the lye solution already on it, then unfrozzen, salten and baked, will always be dryed bad bretzels, unless you dunk them into the lye solution after unfreezing. The "shop" baked bretzen will always be inferior.
Don't DIY it. Whatever you do today will be hard to maintain in two years. You don't want to be the person he always calls for helps for updates.

Just have him put it on Wix or Squarespace or Square business or such.

Don't mess with WordPress either. Not worth the complexity for a simple business page.

The comment you’re responding to is referring to the supremacy clause.
We should separate the chaff from the wheat. b̵l̵o̵c̵k̵c̵h̵a̵i̵n̵ Web3 brought a lot of bad actors. In the worst scenario (after Web3 will just disappear or be like BitTorrent is to streaming services) we can think in technologies that enables coopetition between different actors. IMHO one of the core issues that brings a lot of confusion is confusing trust or trustless with decentralization: just adding thousands of unknown nodes to a technology doesn't bring more trust that adding thousand of known nodes with real world liabilities. In a way Web3 is selling that we can reinvent democracy but at the end we find the same issues that we have with institutions, just shifting a little bit the power.
Poetey is bigger then ever. We just call it pop music. Certain types of poetry are much less popular but that's because they don't have product-market fit.
I do another kind of metric: how much crapware design cost, not for a single software design but at GLOBAL (social) level?

Because so far we have piled tons of crap layered on tons of crap, and that have a terrible cost for all.
Very insightful. I’ve found myself subconsciously doing this on previous Agile projects.

Large-scale unit testing, for example, reduces the Mass of the project, by offloading a large amount of “… and everything else keeps working” overhead from every decision.
Self-hosting since 2015 with Xeams ( https://www.xeams.com ), running in a Linux VM.

Xeams is monolithic (has all SMTP/pop3/imapd/... integrated), using it for 1 domain and a bunch of email accounts.

I access it from K-9 on Android or from a Web-Gui (Roundcube).
Sounds like you just solved the inconvenience problem.
If your job is to interpret sophisticated schemes, as a judge, you need to know how to recurse.
you should archive your emails anyway, and gmail can be social engineered just the same right?

Most registrars can auto-renew so as long as your card stays valid you’re fine.
The Feds don’t have the resources to handle local law enforcement, even if they wanted to. I can’t see that this is a way for either party to pick up a bunch of votes, so interest is low.
Wow, I'm a fan of dutch golden age art and I've never seen that. Fantastic!

Technically, at least in CA/OR, they're often just processed as an ATM withdrawal that occurs at point of sale.
I do; a simple Debian/exim setup; it also has dovecot for imap access (only available over a tunnel).
I've run it for a long long time (~20 years?) and it only needs the occasional tweak. It's had DKIM/SPF added and gone through a few combinations of anti spam filtering (post reception).
It runs on the bottom level VM at a local hosting provider; when I started it they were providing UML! Originally resource usage was a challenge when subscribed to big lists - but these days even the biggest/highest bandwidth lists are no problem for it.
And compared to gmail's flaky imap it's fast!
Difficult to see what this comment adds to the discussion. The House is divided. So unless the GOP adopts this as their issue, the next chance for change is the next election.
Exactly, I was sarcastically replying to the parent comment who still defended this change. I feel your plight and I hope this can be reverted to some degree.
Good on you for trying to grow food, and seeing how hard it is! Over time I've grown more and more fond of people just doing hard things, not necessarily new things, admiring the willingness to "wade through reality" to see what it's really like. With gardening and food growing, I think the public view is very wrong - that its easy grunt work that anyone could learn in an afternoon. The same belief is held about most skills, like plumbing, carpentry, or electrical repair. Once you start executing a project, you get to learn how wrong you were. Which, I think, is fascinating and fun!
