Ha ha ha... Perhaps we should have an "Ask HN: Do You Host Your Own DNS?" thread ;)

Running BIND is very simple, and there're lots of how-tos and some excellent O'Reilly books, too.

You can run your own DNS on a VPS, on a machine on a static IP, or even on a residential address, if it doesn't change too often. If it does change, you can run your primary on your home and have a public machine be a secondary.

It opens up so many possibilities :D

Yea not sure why the down-votes, this is a handy setup, thanks.
most of these states have active efforts for legalization in at least some context, many have CBD legal but not THC (what gets you high), and at least in Kansas there is a "loophole" where hemp products can contain up to .3% THC (so just really big edibles)
Thanks a lot, I will reach out to them.
Jaywalking was invented as a crime to put the blame on the pedestrian rather than the car/driver. There was a huge lobby by automobile manufacturers to change the status quo and transfer liability.

Editor: Not true. We know exactly which one is the better story.
Oh I agree. Gmail is basically a daily lottery for account lockout.

Still important to raise awareness, these posts certainly help and make it harder for google apologists to deny it (a few years ago there was a lot more victim blaming in the comments of these threads).

I felt the need to point it out because backups were brought several times here as a defense against OPs scenario which they aren't.
I’m reading this book to help overcome my fear of talking to strangers.

The book is worthwhile just for its opening chapters which outline the various perspectives on consciousness prior to the point it had been written. Some of which have been obfuscated in summary since.

The U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration rates all cars for safety and shows that Teslas are statistically extremely safe cars (www.nhtsa.gov). The Institute for Highway Safety rates several Tesla models as top safety picks as well (https://www.iihs.org/ratings/top-safety-picks/2022/all/tesla...).
I feel that we conflate a lot of concepts into the term “manager.”

A programmer can almost certainly be a leader, a mentor, and a coach for a team; a force multiplier for others’ work (through tooling, code review, etc); and many other things besides — all without being a “manager” in the project/product/people-management sense.

If you make your best programmers into PMs, though, you’re effectively asking them to do an entirely different job; one whose key competencies don’t have much to do with the key competencies of programming. A good programmer isn’t necessarily a good PM. A good lead programmer is more-often complemented by a good PM, with each playing to their strengths.

Also note, that this distinction has nothing to do with running the company as a whole — i.e. being an executive or officer. Some of the best CTOs I know aren’t PMs; they’re “just” programmers, but they happen to also be cofounders, and so they participate in all the executive meetings. (In a bigcorp you’re not going to see too many cofounder-programmers, but a “distinguished engineer” is close.)

What did you use on OS X as a calculator?

Apple’s calculator that comes with OS X/Mac OS is simply terrible, at least in RPN mode to almost everyone who has used HP calculators.

Two that bite me all the time:

First, “2 Pi” on HP pushes 2 and Pi onto the stack, and the Pi is complete so if you then press “3” you end up with 2, Pi, and 3 on the stack and you are still in digit entry mode.

On Mac “2 Pi” first puts 2 on the stack, then overwrites that 2 with Pi, then when you hit 3 it overwrites Pi with 3.

If you do “2 ln Pi” on both HP and Mac you end up with ln(2) and Pi. On the Mac though if you then start entering a number it will overwrite Pi, whereas HP will lift the stack to make room for the new number.

Basically on HP the Pi key completes any in-progress number entry, pushes Pi, and enabled automatic stack lift so that you can start entering another number without needing to press ENTER. On Mac it lifts the stack if and only if pressing a digit would lift the stack, then overwrites the bottom of the stack with Pi, and leaves automatic stack lift off so that if you then start entering another number (or press Pi again) the Pi is overwritten.

Second, on HP memory recall behaves the same as Pi. On Mac memory recall overwrites whatever is on the bottom. For example suppose 7 is in memory. Then “1 MR” results in 7 on the stack. As with Pi it is still in input mode so “1 MR 5” results in 5 on the stack.

Unlike with Pi it does this even if automatic stack lift would be expected. “2 ln MR” results in 7 on the stack, with the 7 overwriting the ln(2). On HP it would result in ln(2) and 7 on the stack.

PCalc handles RPN like HP does.
There are no amish in my country unfortunatly.
Of course O can do that. The point is that I want to do it many times over, in different places in my code.

What I want to do is to spend the time and effort in understanding and debugging the process, and then encapsulating it in a single function call. Then completely forget about the details and use that single function call.

What is the advantage in not having user-defined functions? None, zilch, nada.
In other news, despite stereotypes, the NL is not nearly as obsessed with recreational drugs as the US is.
This is a large part of the reason why I read the site and the comments. I want a finger on the pulse of population here. By this site's metrics I'm a bit outside the core population as a biologist.

California has not even ¼-assed it. The governor stated in 2018 that we were short 3.5 million homes, which might be approximately correct or at least in the ballpark, and as a state we were going to build them by 2025. That pace should have been 2 million homes by now, but only about 350k units were actually built.
>Investigative journalism on NASA ignoring problems prior to the Challenger and Columbia disasters could have prevented both disasters.

I think this suffers from hindsight bias. For every catastrophic o-ring or foam shedding there are hundreds or thousands of other low-probability events that people were “sure” would cause problems but never did.

The difficulty isn’t in identifying possible issues as much as assigning each a credible risk.
Yeah crazy to think that people like cheap houses and no income tax /s.

But in all seriousness. The ROI on California taxes has to be one of the worst deals in the country. I can’t think of another state (maybe NY) that does so little with so much.
Your answer and the parent's are both awesome. Thanks to both of you.
I have trouble believing that Americans want their power turned on.

I remember just after I declined to speak with the guy manning the Haliburton table at Pitt's career fair circa 2009 (apparently "too political" despite every priest I'd spoken to up to that day stating I was correct in my refusal to aid the Iraq War) and strolling over with my CV in my suit to speak to the folks at Duquense Light, who seemed to be channeling the energy of Edward Norton's character on the plane in Fight Club.

They told me they were not required to do any of the things I said I'd like to do if hired by them, and told me I should buy a generator and electric heater.

Since I am autistic, on a long enough timeline, if people say they want one thing, like safety, security, and working critical infrastructure, then violently obstruct any attempts to bring them that, all I can conclude is that they want the opposite: to see their power fail, to see the vulnerable freeze, to be dominated by preventable events that they had a decade or more to prepare for.

This will be a cold winter, and many people will get exactly what they asked for for Christmas... via their actions, sampled repeatedly over a span of over ten years.

Ask HN: What to do about developers from politically problematic countries?
This is a topic I have been thinking about for awhile. I don't see any easy answers so I thought I'd put it out there to see if others have any thoughts or experiences to share.

Developers are people. People are the same all over. They have their own feelings and biases and value systems.

In the age of globalism, people emigrate everywhere, or they do not, but make their work globally accessible in multiple languages. What does one do when their work is in use, but trust in the product begins diminishing because of their statements or actions?

Current examples:

1) Russia: This country is now designated as a state sponsor of terrorism. A number of developers have expressed Pro-Putin viewpoints and support the war against Ukraine. They are also highly intelligent and have good software products.

2) China: We have all heard about the Huawei 5G debacle which resulted in Huawei equipment getting pulled/banned for national security reasons, this includes smartphones. Huawei was also the #1 contributor to the 5.10 Linux kernel.

Right now, we trust that everyone will do the right thing in perpetuity.

Is trust too idealistic in today's world?
My son has multiple severe nut allergies so I’ve gone from having zero awareness to having too much.

Allergies are fascinating bc they are a continuum and random.

Continuum from…

zero symptoms if you eat the protein in the nut and just a positive blood test…

all the way to…

cannot be in same room as nuts if they will have a reaction that constricts their ability to breath.

They are also random in that your outcome can be wildly different each time.

The result imo is that drs who detect any food allergy, let’s say the child has a slightly swollen lip after eating sesame will run labs on blood and skin and get some real positives and some false positives.

Next they say not to eat anything the person is allergic to in order to prevent a life threatening allergy.

If no blood or skin tests existed this person may go through life mainly avoiding the food bc it’s uncomfortable, but never think of themselves as allergic to X.

Net result is that people with allergies are safer now, but the % of people we know have allergies has increased.

As a side note, if you are reading this as a parent with a kid with a recently discovered food allergy, please note… it totally sucks, but… you will adjust over time to the higher workload and constant label reading, hang in there.
Is selling the coffee the only business model you can execute?

How about events hosting? Weddings, parties, trainings, etc.
I have custom domains forwarding emails to a couple of gmail accounts. It's a PITA.

I still have issues receiving emails. Especially from financial institutions. (Wells Fargo emails just... stopped. So I gave up and setup a gmail just for them.)

I have issues sending emails from my custom domain.

IRL I always have to explain that yes, my email address is YourCompany@MyDomain.com, but no, I don't actually work for YourCompany.

Over two decades, I have played whack a mole with a number of problems. Switching to a hosting provider that does not allow me to forward <any>@customdomain.com helped. It only allows explicitly forwarded email accounts, and setting up the email address explicitly passes most email validation tests, and I suspect the underlying IP is less likely to be blacklisted by fin tech that is extra careful about who they email.
So it's like having ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden functions calls, just without argument checking, type checking, localized error reporting, etc?
Unpopular opinion. It’s ok to have outbound migration. California has close to 40 millions people. That’s more than lots of countries out there.

Many believe that AGI will develop independent of our understanding of the human brain, cognition, and consciousness.

I personally find this quite strange — as if intelligence and cognition can be brute forced without having a good understanding of those concepts and how they apply to humans.

Anyway, I’m hoping to do some reading on this topic in the future. If anyone has suggestions for books and papers of much earlier works please post them here. I’ve enjoyed the Chomsky interviews and I’ll probably read some of his references.
(Edit: Never mind, I phrased my question poorly and I'm not sure how to pose it better. I was trying to figure out how one would avoid this scenario where restaurants just say "yes" to every potential allergen to avoid mistakes - like with food labels - if the goal is to have allergic people be able to find places to eat at.)
It would also be interesting to see churn rates. A place could be stable count wise, but actually turning over people fast and running out of suckers (kinda like Amazon warehouse employee base)
I'm completely absent any other context about ARRL - it seems like this is an accomplishment and one that likely was the result of (expensive) lobbying.
- a law that makes it legal and safe for banks to engage in business with corporate cannabis companies that are also legal as defined by the states that have passed their own recreational and medical cannabis laws -

- Should be denied because its currently not passed yet

- " Preventable drug overdose deaths increased 34.4% in 2020, from 62,172 in 2019. In 2020, 83,558 people died from preventable drug overdoses – an increase of 649% since 1999. These deaths represent 91% of the total 91,799 drug overdose deaths in the United States, which also include suicide, homicide, and undetermined intents. "

Yes. I did so for 20 years, stopped for 5 or so, but do so again now.
Very sad stuff, but nonetheless I have zero interest in subsidizing your social preferences (either through regulation or litigation costs). Lots of people live good lives without going to restaurants all the time. Have a barbecue or something.
No, I pay fastmail [1] to do it all for me. I am reading in the comments that a lot of people have success with self-hosting, and maybe I will look into it someday when I am not busy every hour of every day studying chemical engineering, but for now I am happy to pay £50/yr to have someone else deal with hosting, clean IP addresses, DNS/SPF/DKIM, or whatever else is necessary to make sure my emails land in people's inboxes.

Whenever I think about migrating my "primary" email to be at a domain I own, I come up with the following risk calculus:

What's more likely:

A) That i get locked out of Gmail for some byzantine reason I can't get out of
B) That for whatever reason (new card, I'm in the hospital, whatever) I forget/am unable to renew my domain and it gets sniped.

I hosted my own mail for years. I stopped just due to inflation. I have been cutting every single cost that I can. I already pay for iCloud+ and it now supports custom domains and the like and has encryption, so I moved my email over.

If I wasn’t trying to trim every possible cost currently, I would still selfhost. It’s trivial if you have any sysadmin/syseng experience and a little time for setup. IME, the main thing that trips people up has already been mentioned. You need SPF, PTR, and DKIM records to get delivery to big providers. You can usually request to be removed from blacklists if your IP was flagged before you got it.
I can't argue against your point. Most of us are still holding out hope that web3 eventually fulfils its original promise, but the culture needs a complete overhaul, and the existing players need to go bankrupt and get out of the system before that can happen.
> And the southern states absolutely did not want to adhere to the laws set by the northern states.

To add to the sibling comments, the southern states hated states' rights when northern states were liberating escaped slaves within their jurisdiction. The Fugitive Slave Act immediately destroys any argument that the Civil War was about states' rights.
Hummus. Halva. Tahini.
Sesame would be a difficult allergy. My condolences.
Farming is hard, and margins are low. Coffee is also labor-intensive.

What I'd do is find a local farmer in the area and lease it to them. You can probably set up something where they pay you something like 25% of the crop for rent.
A modifier dial would be cool. You could have capslock for X number of seconds.

Vim could have a mode dial. Which mode should be the default is possibly the thing that flame wars are made of though.
Afaik those patents don’t describe continuous curvature, but just general curved bodies.

Apple’s use of continuous curvature in iPhones came around iOS 7 iirc. I might be mistaken but I think they’re subtly but consequentially different subjects.

Traffic is _people_. "Induced demand" just means that more people are able to get around in a presumably less miserable way, rather than you (who are presumably already driving if gridlock is a problem to you) getting a better experience.

And no, buses or rail won't provide a good experience until they're so frequent and have so many stops that they basically end up being ridiculously overbuilt taxis in all but the highest-density areas.
California sits right at the national average for state and local revenue per capita. The real high-tax states are places like NY, NJ, CT, and MA.
I feel like Apple would become very irritated if someone ported iOS to the Pinephone (perhaps using a thin hypervisor layer).
It's not a problem to everyone. For example, it's not a problem to many homeowners that the value of their homes keep going up and to the right.

Living in California is expensive, in more ways than just housing. Not everyone can afford it. Just like not everyone can afford a new BMW. In my corner of the state, people who increasingly cannot afford to live here are noisy. I mostly don't engage because I'm aware that I will simply receive vitriol and anger for sharing my views. But quietly, I'm ok with it. They can move if they want to. I love it here and having fewer people on the fringes of society as neighbors isn't really the worst outcome to me.

Edit: and this why I don't engage. I'm out. Merry Christmas everyone.

I agree. I’m confused when I hear about calls to “address” the issue. People leaving isn’t a problem, the real problems are the reasons people move away.
