Unless a message needs no other email service provider to be delivered, your attachment sizes are still subject to other providers' limits.

Yes, you can log the crap out of "$Server.$OtherProvider.$TLD accepted $MessageID for delivery" - but that doesn't stop $OtherProvider from failing to deliver it to the recipient's IN box.
If you are asking yourself, "will this do what it says it will do?" and you are comparing a project that hasn't had any updates in the last 3 years vs one that has seen a constant stream of updates over the last 3 years, which one do you think has a greater probability of doing what it needs to do?

Now I do get your point. There is probably a better metric to use. Like for example, how many people are adding this library to their project and not removing it. But if you don't have that, the number of recent updates to a project that has been around for a long time is probably going to steer you in the right direction more often than not.

Postscript was a close descendant (basically a V2) of Interpress, which is the printing language we used for laser printers at (and from) PARC from the 1970s. Postscript was designed by the authors of Interpress when they left PARC to start Adobe. Two nerds, engineers and computer scientists, wrote it, taking into account their experiences of what worked and what didn't.

Things like PSD were designed by committees within Adobe, taking account marketing's concerns and building consensus around a camel when a horse, or perhaps cheetah, would have been vastly superior.
Have you considered Fastmail? I switched to it a few years back and it works excellently.
Maybe you've already taken this into account, but CLTC ratings tend to be 20-40% higher than the way range is calculated in the US. eg a Tesla MY LR has 330 miles of range in US vs 430 miles in China, but it's basically the same car

the article is very poorly written on one really important dimension, and that is inbound email vs outbound. "Does mail you send get caught in filters you don't control?" vs "how should you handle inbound mail through the spam filters you must configure."

the portion of the article that you are quoting seems to mean that his domain/subnets have a perfect record of not sending any spam.

in the weighting system in my head, people who don't meticulously keep track of differences like this in a writeup make me worry that they weren't keeping track when working on the problem itself either.
There would still be competition among high level features for the browsers which I feel is more important for users. Reduced competiton on things like performance I don't think will be so bad as either someone will optimized it benefiting everyone, or things that are not hyper optimized will become insignificant as computers get more powerful.

Hold on there. Just because a thing acts and feels like a human without intelligence doesn't mean it's fair game to abuse it. And frankly, it might be worse if the thing in question had feelings but couldn't articulate how it's feeling.

Feeling is all there is. Be careful what you put in, because equal "ins" usually means equal "outs." The pitbull is the most loving dog in one family, and a ferocious fighter in another.
I think you misread my comment.

I'll go to Aliexpress and eBay first for: "kids toys, cables, generic keyboards, battery chargers, basic tools, and basic clothing."

I have the exact same list for them as for Amazon. I'll go there first for those products since Aliexpress has much better prices than Amazon. eBay has better seller reviews. I certainly wouldn't buy food or medicine from them, though, or even bedsheets or SD cards.

Walmart is a lot better than Amazon. They do have a search filter to disable marketplace sellers, and if buying from Walmart proper, I do trust them to still get supply chains adequately right. Amazon did okay here too, even a half-decade ago; it crapped out with Covid and never fixed itself. Perhaps Walmart will crap out too, but it hasn't yet.

I would assume that Firefox revenue is proportional to usage and revenue is only down a few percent. This implies that Firefox usage is declining much slower than people say.

We read from different cookbooks and my reading comprehension is high. My sent email stats shows over 20K successfully sent emails just for my personal account, since 1999, when I started tracking it.
The thing that gave me pause the first time I thought about it (it was during a test so I couldn’t ask or check) was that if zero is even, that means (despite numbers being infinite) there’s one more even number than odd numbers.

I also knew that 1 is not prime, even if logically it should be. Its definition specifically states a prime number needs to be greater than 1. So that means mathematics sometimes has exceptions for numbers inside a definition.

Given that, it’s not immediately obvious that zero would be even. It wouldn’t be odd either, that was out of the questions, but it could be neither.

I'm likewise curious - a family member runs a mail service on a box in his basement for everyone with a @lastname.com with about 40 or 50 inboxes. He's indicated he'd like to pass that responsibility on as he's nearing 75 years old and the everchanging spam and delivery rules make it tedious to keep up, but I have very little interest in running a mail server myself. Would love to find somewhere for super low volume mail under $100 or $150/month that could keep that domain intact..

Ask HN: What are ethical companies like Patagonia and some digital counterparts?
Hey HN! I'm on the lookout for companies that stand out in ethical and sustainable practices, much like Patagonia in the retail world. I'm also interested in finding digital and tech companies with a strong commitment to these values.

Have you come across any firms in the tech space making noteworthy efforts in sustainability or ethics, perhaps similar to the way Basecamp/Hey has shifted their infrastructure for better environmental impact? (recent switch from Cloud to Rack server)

I'm also keen to support physical product companies that are dedicated to ethical manufacturing. Any suggestions or experiences with brands that prioritize this approach would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance for sharing your insights and recommendations possibly first-hand experience.
> As a side note, this letter is exactly why I think a regulatory agency like the FDA is absolutely necessary. This stuff can kill people and it is impossible for the average person to protect themselves.

The mislabeling is certainly a problem, but really these drugs (sildenafil and tadalafil) should be over-the-counter and cheaply available on Amazon as generics. That they are not is a failure of the same FDA. They have a great safety profile and limited contraindications, comparable to many other OTC drugs.
>ut if more people used their browser more they might invest more in it in instead of seeing it as a money sink

Did you say that Firefox is a 'money sink' for Mozilla? The thing that brings them half a billion dollars a year and corresponds to the vast majority of their revenue ... and is the only thing that gives them relevance .. to you, this is a 'money sink'?
I assure you, the open source community around modern IDEs is thriving. I see plenty of innovation in plugin marketplaces that is hard to find in even the Emacs/Vim ecosystem. Despite its share of detractors, there is a lot of value in having a business model that prioritizes language support, platform stability and a well-curated plugin marketplace. The IdeaVim integration is thoughtfully designed and I seldom notice much difference coming from Vim. I see where you're coming from with resource consumption, but even Fleet is starting to offer rudimentary Vim support, which I expect will address many of the issues around bloat. [1]

No, it is still your only option. And using it is the best way of signalling that it is still an important browser.
A few decades back, EVs were little econoboxes.

I agree with the math, but not the spirit.

0*100 = 0.

Aliexpress is fast, efficient, but completely random and automated in resolution. Products from Aliexpress are great 50% of the time, non-working or not shipped 10% of the time, and somewhere in between 40% of the time. It's cheap and complete roulette.

That's okay for a lot of things.
The article states that Mozilla is far from dying and that it’s diversifying itself away from Firefox.
Those rates are from prohibited substances. Meaning there is the possibility a strong enough effect to be concerning (otherwise they wouldn't be prohibited as a PED), but you’re correct that dosage matters too. But I already addressed that in the first post. Regardless, there is a truth in labeling standard that many believe should extend to supplements. I’m probably in that camp. If you’re not, I’d be interesting in hearing why.
There’s an implicit public interest. You don’t get to do whatever you feel like just because you decide not to pay taxes.
My plan for now is to disable Cloudflare, walk back all of my previous filename-based cache busting approaches (rename all `_v[0-9]` files to their old name), clear the Cloudflare cache, and re-start my approach with the ServiceWorker and GH Pages.

I can re-enable cloudflare and them later on.
Physical and chemical properties of organic molecules give rise to emergent life-like structures/patterns. Molecules interacting via hydrogen bonding, solubility, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity - repulsion and attraction - can produce protomembranes under the right conditions.

In this demonstration, particles with certain rules can interact in such a way that self-organizing structures emerge.
1) We don’t offer a browser version. Instead, we have an Electron-based cross-platform app that works on Windows, Linux, and macOS. We also have two native mobile apps for iOS and Android. Creating a browser version is challenging for us because our business logic and local database rely on a middleware library written in Go. Currently, the only feasible approach is running it in WebAssembly (Wasm). We hope to make a browser version available in the future.
2) No. It’s not build with anytype, as we do not have a web version:)
> We don't have multiple different type of gasoline, or home heating oil

We do?

Actually, this is a great analogy. We have grades of gasoline because there is a trade-off between anti-knocking and cost. Monoculturing the grade approximates the diversity of requirements worse than honing in on a few points on the curve. As with browser engines, there is a limit to this diversity since each additional grade imposes novel fixed costs in production, distribution and combustion. But I’d be surprised if something as varied as browser engines optimally solves for a single solution.
Yeah I've read a lot of the more critical takes in r/askhistorians. They don't seem overly bad in broad strokes to me at least. And I think some of the critics may overstate their conclusions, even if I agree with their analysis.

With Mitchel Baker at helm, all the initiatives that would make Firefox more embeddable were cancelled to cut cost.

Now Firefox can't be used to make webapps effectively, the only alternative is to use Electron and fortify Chromium's monopoly.
It's not that difficult. I host my email server on an AWS machine (so the IP that gests out is clean), and all I had to do is to setup DKIM signature and create the SPF, DMARC and DKIM DNS records for the domains.

Setting all up is complex, but there are project that give all the tools in a Docker container. Since I wanted to learn it I did all manually, and did set up postifx, dovecot, opendkim, postfixadmin and even squirrelmail as a "retro" web interface, with a postgresql database to keep the mailboxes and the accounts. It was an interesting experience, plus now I have full control of the mail system, e.g. I can decide to route the mail in whatever directory just by changing the SQL query that decides in which mailbox a message should be delivered.
Wittgenstein seemed most interested in the question of how to categorize logical propositions into two categories: those that were sensible and those that were nonsense. I don't know how he explicitly described that process of categorization but I think it is fair to say that an agent that can categorize logical propositions into those two categories could be described as intelligent.

In his early work he appeared to believe that the way to do this categorization was to determine if the logical propositions corresponded in their structure to the real world (his picture theory of language). In his later work he appears to have believed the way to do this was to reference some "language game" among a set of communicating agents and then understand the words based on their context within that construct (use theory of language).

Both of these concepts do not reference any kind of subjective experience, aesthetics, morality, etc. They are simply a description of how to judge whether or not a proposition is "meaningful". In later Wittgenstein, meaning in language is entirely divorced from any necessity that the statements correspond to an independent objective reality. It is simply necessary that they are consistent amongst the participants in a particular language game.

I don't believe that means the entirety of our "consciousness" is related solely to our ability to categorize logical propositions. However, it may suggest that intelligence specifically is related to this ability.

In as much as we can say that an LLM is capable of participating in some particular human language game and can successfully categorize logical propositions within that language game - I would say that LLM is demonstrating "intelligence" within that language game. And if we can create LLMs that can participate in arbitrary (or general) language games across a wide variety of domains, we might call that LLM generally intelligent. I believe that current LLMs have achieved the first (demonstrating some intelligence in particular domains) but we have yet to achieve the second (demonstrating consistent intelligence in a wide range of general domains).

As for metaphysics, I would argue that Wittgenstein saw this general ability (to categorize logical propositions) as a subset of all possible experience. I believe he saw this categorization activity as the primary aim of philosophy. However, the kinds of experience that were outside of this categorization activity could not be spoken about at all.
What will ultimately happen is that OpenAI and all big tech with have to pay out some sizable sum to large copyright holders, and in exchange be granted a de facto exclusive right to develop these technologies further because they’re the only ones who can do so “responsibly” with respect to copyright. It will take a long time to wind its way through the courts, but this could be the death knell for open source LLMs in the US.
"the actual grunt work of writing the code" isn't actually patentable in my experience, from Europe (inc. UK).

The inventive step is the actual decision of 'we will do this thing in this way', or rather determining the 'method'. In fact, the guidelines we follow are that someone implementing the design based on some instructions, i.e, just working on a ticket, is explicitly not to be included as an inventor - unless they actually decided that's how it should be done.

Of course, it's nice to work in a place whereby you get to design and implement the system and become an inventor. In my opinion and experience at least. But I can see some organisations whereby developers are popping off tickets in sprints and implementing them - but that is by definition not an inventive step.

I've been self-hosting email for ~15 years, and have experienced many of the issues described.

The biggest error in blackholing, that I never hear mentioned, is that no mail server sending several hundred email per day is a spam server.

If traffic is below a threshold level, several hundred or thousand emails per day, there is no way that server is part of a commercial spam distribution network.

Small system operators should not be banned or blackholed in the same way as servers producing millions of email messages per day...
