Show HN: Sendune – open-source HTML email designer
Demo: https://designer.sendune.com/
Code: https://github.com/SendWithSES/Drag-and-Drop-Email-Designer

HTML for email is probably the hardest code to write. Even a teeny-tiny deviation from the rules will break the email in untold combination of os/desktop/mobile clients.

It's mid 2024. Almost 50 years since email was invented and 35 years since HTML was born. A 'basic-open-source-HTML-email-designer' must be a solved problem, right? We thought so too.

Sadly, that's not the case.

There are a few decent open source email designers but they carry dependencies that make them cumbersome to embed within your app. That's why we decided to open source our HTML Email Designer.

The SENDUNE email designer focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It is light-weight. It does pure HTML - no intermediate code wranglers like mjml. There is no lock-in of any kind. Save HTML output as a template and use with ANY email service provider.

Feel free to fork the repository, make improvements, and submit pull requests.

It’s smooth to a point, but not smooth like OS X is. It might have improved (I think I last tried desktop Linux a year ago). I do enjoy using Linux as my default headless OS.
It's almost as if USSR and China are vast territories and experience might vary.

Yep, this is exactly what we do.
True. Air resistance is always there, although negligible in the first few seconds.
Do share a few links to stories about the border town rampage and any other particularly notable incidents, if you can.
Oh I feel the cliff bar revulsion. After my last backpacking experience, the smell of store bought pita bread and Justin’s almond butter makes nauseas to even think about. Some old hats suggested preparing bean burritos (just beans and tortillas) because they store well and it’s harder to get sick of the taste. I had to find some other packers to trade with on the last two days the revulsion to pita bread smell was getting so strong.
Not a single statement you purport as "fact" has been true cross large scale deployments in my experience. Especially the first part which tells me you have not experienced working with them as a supplier. I think you mean in your opinion or experience, but please don't attribute wishful thinking to factual statements. It derails objectivity and discussions.
Hey, might I suggest adding a public domain example book? I tried adding a couple of different epubs that I happen to have on my phone, but it just says "Please select an EPUB file." when I do. (Using mobile Firefox.)

I have two of these buckets in my garage, and I bought them from Costco at least 10 years ago, so this isn't news. Which just makes it an advertisement.
I can't delete a file if the machine doesn't finish booting. Unless you are suggesting removing the drive and putting it in another machine. That requires a screwdriver and 5 minutes vs. the 10 seconds to reboot and pick a different kernel.

I'm not talking about the cloud. I am talking about the physical machines sitting in front of me specifically my work laptop.

I am an integrated circuit computer chip designer, not a data center IT person. I have seen IPMI on the servers in our office. Do cloud data centers have this available to people?

I have a cheap cloud VM that I pay $3.50 a month. I normally just SSH in but if I want to install a new operating system or SSH is not responding then I log in to the web site and get a management console. I can get a terminal window and login, I can force a reboot, or I can upload an ISO image of another operating system and select that as the boot device for the next reboot and install that.

Does your cloud service not have something like this?

I don't know what our corporate IT dept wants to do. We all work from home on Friday and I can't login to check email so I'll just wait until Monday as there is nothing urgent today anyway.
A significant percentage of prisons in the US are private companies operating for profit who spend lobbying dollars to influence policy. This even happens with the juvenile "justice" system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal.

Literally everything about that book except the main plot was fantastic. It read terrifyingly prophetic once he could peel himself away from whatever greek fable bullshit he was on about on the main thread.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I do think it is interesting that the FCC prohibited not just the site commission costs, but also the call surveillance costs. who exactly will pay the surveillance costs now?

There was some strange language in the FCC quotes. 8 out of 12 of the phone providers had a profit before the cost of "safety and security categories that generally are not used and useful".

I guess the charitable take of the FCC statement is that these services are not required by law, but still desirable to prisons?
I can answer this, as the tablets they everywhere are cheap Temu junk. If it's hardware, you have to return the tablet to the prison, and good luck on them satisfying the warranty for you. Easier just to get your family to put another $250-400 on your commissary and just buy a new one.

If it's software -- you're usually shit out of luck. If it's a serious bug and enough people file paperwork every day, then after a few weeks of outage it is often escalated to the operator. Another few weeks after that they will eventually fix it. Things move very, very slowly in jails and prisons, so expect long stretches of downtime.
math is just formalizing ideas into symbols and creating rules to manipulate and understand the ideas further. It is really the "ideas" that are important but all school really teaches is the manipulation aspect of it which is a bit boring without understanding the ideas. Most of early mathematical education is of the form "assume we have so and so arcane formulation - here is what we can do with it by applying these rules whose truths you just have to memorize"

That is sneaky. At least they decided to update the video. But overall it's pretty disappointing. Mark is playing this meek, super nice guy persona on the screen. It's just camera play acting to attract young viewers. Oh well, it's good to know. Thanks for mentioning it.
I think (1) is sort of wrong. Many good/great composers do want to compose Bach-like music, and there's a subculture in the classical music world of them. What really stops people from building "masterpieces" in this way is the money. There's just no financial reason to do it.

On commissions, when you are charging $500/minute of symphonic music (a mid-market rate), you just can't write a minute of a Bach cantata and have it make financial sense. It takes a long time to develop the material for a big work of counterpoint like that, and even Bach didn't write his cantatas off of nothing - he was a working church organist, so he had plenty of time to try his new material (improvising at the organ during services) that was paid for.

Music has always been a business and there's no money in neo-Bach.

It is possible to repair it and we know that because it was repaired many times before. It’d need at least some brand new hardware though.

Until reusables make it cheap to launch a replacement (and so cheap the replacement doesn’t need to be built as carefully and expensively) it’s preferable to repair it. Or not, as ground-based observatories have evolved considerably since the Hubble was launched.
I got about halfway through and forgot I was in the middle of reading it. The story never really grabbed me. I say this as someone who usually rips through a book a week.
Show HN: Constellation – Distribute GitHub/Gitea CI-built releases with ease
Hey HN! Have you got closed-source software that you want to provide updates for and already have your CI/CD systems on GitHub/Gitea building binaries for you?

Constellation works as a proxy between your Git repository's release artifacts and your applications. Give users access to the latest versions of your application without giving them access to the repository itself.

I personally use it to deliver updates for my own tools and it works wonderfully.

I've documented why I built Constellation on my blog - take a look if you're curious!

I don't think that's true in this case. I've never heard of an individual employee who introduced a bug being legally liable for it.
OK, but as a poor earthling who's never experienced low gravity... surely the force of gravity affects the feeling of "falling" even if you're not in an orbit around some nearby planet sized thing? Does that feel substantially different than, say, falling down an elevator shaft on earth?

It's obvious that you have never served in corporate IT management, so this is a pointless conversation. I'll just leave this here for anyone else who may be interested.

In many/most orgs, the windows sysadmins and IT management will not have access to the crowdstrike console. The CISO and security teams are completely separate, and operate independently. They will always push for the business need to deploy policy updates at any time, as the threat landscape will not wait for the next patch cycle. And actually, this has been the right call and has objectively prevented compromise many times over.

You were so close to getting this right, too. It's crowdstrike that didn't follow proper software deployment practices when they pushed their update to the channel. Where was their QA? They know how many of their customers have auto-updates enabled (every one of them).

I once worked in an online cloud environment, and the security team had crowdstrike installed everywhere, with the expressed promise that in production it would always be in monitor mode only. Well, suddenly our monitoring pods began to get SIGKILL'ed before they even could init and it took days of investigation.

Root cause? infosec turned on enforcement in crowdstrike, and didn't tell anyone. We didn't have access to their splunk logs, nothing got logged locally, and naturally nobody on my side of the org even knew crowdstrike was running because we had to fight to get SSH access to the k8s nodes.

But sure, blame the IT manager who is now desperately trying to bring up their entire AD infra. That's helpful.
So no bitlocker on the system?

Don't try to pull wool over my eyes that this is a just system. It's sole purpose is to disenfranchise voters even if they weren't charged with a federal crime.
Working late Thursday night in Florida, USA. I have someone in Australia wanting me to write a quick script in LSL for an object in Second Life. We were interrupted: Second Life kept running, but Discord went down, telling me to 'try another server' which doesn't make sence when you are 1-on-1 with someone. All my typing in Discord turned red. Additionally, I couldn't log into the email portal for outlook.com: I got a screen of tiny-fonted text all clinging to the left edge of the display, unreadable, unusable. Second Life, though, stayed online and kept working for me, but then I'm on Windows 7. My friend who had requested the collaboration froze in Second Life on his Windows 10 system, and I don't know what his Discord was doing. I ended the session since I couldn't get a no/no-go out of him for the latest script version.
Looks like it affected the Crowdstrike stock, but not Microsoft.
Chorleywood process is fast and it works with the relatively weak UK wheat. Making bread taste good takes time unfortunately. And for certain applications shitty white bread is a good fit like PB&J sandwiches or grilled cheeses.

That’s quite tricky.
Perhaps a dumb question for someone who actually knows how Microsoft stuff works...

Why would an anti-malware program be allowed to install a driver automatically ... or ever for that matter?

Added: OK, from another post I now know Crowdstrike has some sort of kernel mode that allows this sort of catastrophe on Linux. So I guess there is a bigger question here...
That logo reads ambiguously...In top-to-bottom left-to-right languages you may not be sure which letter to read first, the 'M,' (top but rightmost) or the 'L' (bottom but leftmost). I'd propose making the 'M' a little smaller, and/or moving it closer to the 'L' so it looks more like a superscript at first glance. Maybe also differentiating the two with different cases and/or the 'M' in italics or script.
The "prepper" industry is making millions on the backs of idiots who think this stuff is necessary.

I looked for some cases in Florida but couldn't find any but I really don't know how to properly search for stuff like this. Any suggestions?
Idk if this is a serious question, but you just turn on console access in the cloud provider. It’s super easy. Same concept as VMWare. It’s possible that not all cloud providers do that, I suppose.
Just a nit, I don't think it's correct to call eBPF "user mode". It's just a different, much more sandboxed, way of running kernel-mode code.
SARRRRRRRSSSSS!
Admin: We should turn off the AV auto update in prod and test it in staging first.

Manager/CISO: That would
increase our exposure time on zero day vulnerabilities. Overruled.
Every time I flew with Ryanair it's been because the price difference has been on orders of magnitude, or at least a difference of hundreds of euros. If it wasn't for the price, why would anybody choose to fly with a worse experience?
So much of regulation is just a round-about to creating business for regulatory compliance.
Almost no prices are set based on cost to produce. When you shop for eggs, do you care if the producer’s costs were higher or lower than normal? Essentially all prices are based on the value people receive from the good.
Terminal is probably fine, the machine that tells it number to charge is dead... And it is probably not even setup to accept manual payment inputs.

I'm the last relative of William Shockley (cited in the story) who's still in the industry.

I like the way this story portrays his success in solving open-ended problems as long as they aligned with the company direction. I've personally never made that connection between us, but it resonates with where I've personally found success, and currently am, in my career as well.

Fortunately, a lot of our beliefs about the world are quite different.
You might have more luck asking Cybersecurity to add a path like ~/code which contains your source code to the exclusion list.
This is more a comment to the word "understand" than "physics".

Yes, the models output will converge to being congruent with laws of physics by virtue of deriving that as a latent variable.
The amount of movement spread over several thousand years versus 200 is hardly a fair comparison.

One small correction: we were doing bisect over compiler optimizations a decade ago, but bisect over call trees only happened in the past year or so.

For the hash table case, deciding the function per-table as you suggest is probably good enough. In a large program there are going to be tons of hash tables, and if bisect gets you to "it's this specific hash table allocated by this call stack that matters", that's a huge win.

The timer change is much like the hash table one, in that we toggle the "timer kind" at creation time, but it's only later operations that actually change behavior. Still, identifying the specific timer and call stack that created it turned out to be good enough in all cases.
For macOS? Because without it you don't have certain monitoring and compliance capabilities that are standard built-ins in windows, plus for windows/linux/mac the monitoring capabilities are all useful and help detect unwanted operation.
Do all the machines need to be manually fixed? It doesn't seem like an automatica update will work here...

When I was locked up in the county jail (charges dropped later) my mother was dying from cancer. I wanted to call her, but it was so insanely expensive ($1.50/min) I could only call for 5 mins a day until she died.

I scheduled a bail hearing due to my mother's illness, but it took months. It was scheduled for a Monday. My mother died on the Saturday. When we got in front of the judge on Monday the prosecutor snapped on the judge, "Judge, what are we even doing here! This is total waste of my time. His mother died already. This issue is moot."
If you ran "only Linux, BSD, or MacOS" on a Microsoft hypervisor, yes. I would never recommend that, and your link exemplifies one reason why.
It's worth considering that most of the diversity of environments on earth are really diversity of ecosystems. Strip away the trees and the grass and the topsoil and then Earth would look like a desert wasteland pretty much everywhere.
> we push software to your machines any time we want, whether or not it's urgent, without testing it

Do they allow you to control updates? It sounds like what you want is for a small subset of your machines using the latest, while the rest wait for stability to be proven.
They still might, depending on how rigorous QA is going to be...
It makes you wonder if there was some critical vulnerability that forced them to deploy to everyone simultaneously at an awkward time.
Wow I didn't know second life was still a thing. Literally yesterday I looked at a 20 year old archived version of a freeware portal which also listed a version of second life.
Look, I'm going to catch flak for this but at the end of the day the main problem is that Java and C++, the most popular OOP languages, are just bad programming languages.

There are OOP languages out there, most of them older than Java and C++, that actually provide a much better set of knobs and handles for writing sane OO programs.

Java is finally getting a bit better thanks to a lot of market pressure and good ideas from Kotlin. C++ will probably be a mess forever.

Is dang a moderator? Was there some way for me to know that?

In any case, if their comment was intended to "berate" me, I didn't take it that way. I believe the fear of my comment being intended as mere snark, though politely expressed, was misplaced, and have tried to lay out why.

The joke was meant to help to portray my point strongly, but there was no snarkiness - there's no indirect suggestion, or sarcasm.

A touch of hyperbole, yes, but it was intended to highlight the ahistorical and hyperbolic nature of the original claim in the article. Calling Jobs' comments in 1983 "breathtaking" and "prophetic" is, from my reading of the figures during that decade and the previous ones, grossly exagerrated.
Seems like a reasonable strategy. Not just Ubuntu but some redundancy in some systems.

> This gets to the core of the 'not a zero sum game' and 'how do we get people to take it seriously' argument.

I am not taking it seriously because I feel you are presenting platitudes and deepities instead of serious arguments.

"Not a zero sum game" is often used interchangeably with "society doesn't need to care about costs", and I feel that is what you are doing here. And I strongly value infrastructure and generally support things that are considered "wealth redistribution schemes".

Convince me spending on earthquake-proofing will have ANY value and you can begin changing my mind. Convince me spending earthquake-proofing is better than tornado resilience and you will have completely changed my mind. Tornadoes actually kill people every year in the regions we are talking and those funds are already tight.

I simply think there are better ways to save lives and money than earthquake-proofing in regions that get earthquakes approximately as often Phoenix gets snow.
Do you need to manually fix all your windows boxes? Or is there a way to update it remotely?
I’ll never forgive them for the spyware they defaulted to on in their desktop stuff. It wasn’t the worst thing in the world, but they’re also the only major distro to ever do it, so Ubuntu (and Canonical as a whole) can get fucked, imo.
I would expect this to affect airlines services, e.g. for check-in and boarding. I would be very surprised if this outtage affects ATC systems.
If there is no gravitational field, you don't need a fall to cancel it out.
Plenty of people living in regions hit by tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and the like would disagree with you.

My house never has less than a few days of everything on hand because a bad storm of freezing rain means I am literally trapped for days, living at the bottom of a hill with no way to get to town.
I have one of these for earthquake preparedness, along with large containers with water. I think i got it 10 years ago from Costco, and I sure hope not having to try the food out.

Since Covid times we’ve been keeping a healthy stock of shelf-stable food that we’re continuously restocking. Our food supply chain seems too concentrated on fewer and fewer suppliers that in turn rely on long haul transportation, which makes it somewhat easy to disrupt and end up with stuff missing from stores for long periods. It feels safe to have a buffer of decent food. The end-of-times-bucket from Costco is therefore only for Zombie apocalypse or major earthquake :D
It's plausible but needs quantification. I doubt it's been truly overlooked.
