It's probably something you can optimize later on, if you actually hit the scale you're concerned about? There are a lot of similar services too, at different price points. At the end of the day you're probably paying someone to send emails anyway, unless you really want to run your own SMTP too (generally not a good idea). It's a lot easier if it's just all one provider.

The main thing is handling subscriptions and unsubscribes. If you have to manually sync them (and opt-in), it's more complex, and if you don't do it well, that will impact your deliverability (i.e. if enough people mark you as spam because you don't make it easy for them to unsub, over time your domain will get treated more and more like a spammer).

With all the talk of the impending fertility crisis, I very much believe that WFH helps significantly.

1) It makes parenting easier by letting the parent be more present. 2) It allows parents to buy houses with more bedrooms and more greenspace further from expensive cities. 3) It allows workers to stay in one location for a long time, helping form community.

And it's low-carbon to boot.

Because if you assemble yourself, and it doesn't turn on, it's your job to debug which part is failing. If you buy pre-build you get a warranty for the whole thing.

We had some people at work buy parts and it was fine for a while, then became a nightmare, unstable machines where we could never figure out what part was to blame. It isn't worth paying Dev's salaries to let them debug their faulty hardware.

Is this the basis of the so-called "human-centred economy" that seems to be gaining attention?

When I first heard of it, it seemed like it literally described the very same economic model we're accustomed to. But now that you mention this, there does seem to be an underscore of "just 2 guyz who are having a good time", without proper accounting of the exchange of value, thereby making it difficult to prove that a taxable event occurred.

> Mayor Parker has cited the many thousands of city employees — sanitation workers, social workers, the water department — who never had the ability to work from home.

Of all of the flimsy, illogical and back-ass-wards excuses I've heard for returning to offices, this might be the flimsiest, most illogical, and most profound 180 from asswards I have heard. Of course some classifications of workers can't work from home. One cannot remotely pick up garbage, or service sewers from the comfort of their own sofa. What on earth does that have to do with all the kinds of workers who can?

This will impact public institutions the same way it has been private ones. Those with options, the best workers, will leave, likely in droves, because they have seen what is possible and are no longer prepared to settle for what is expedient. The brain-drain is going to get quite real quite soon.

Work from home is a boon to everyone in our society except commercial real estate investors and pushy middle-managers, it just is, whether you as a leader choose to recognize the benefits you reap from it or not, you are reaping them. Productivity goes up, carbon emissions go down, morale goes up, people have an easier time just... living in our modern world with a flexible schedule, saving money on eating out less, saving money on buying less gas and running cars into the ground much slower, on, and on, and on. This is a rare instance where basically everyone wins and paradoxically, that seems to be driving the leadership of some places even more insane. They just can not fucking deal with seeing their workers lives improve.

It's hard to not reach for my tinfoil hat to explain this. I cannot fathom what the issue is, beyond the fact that workers are less stressed, less busy, and therefore consuming less... everything. Wasting less food, using less gas, buying fewer cars, etc. and like, I don't really think there's a shadowy room somewhere where the owner of the local gas stations is slamming his fist on the table about his sales being down, and the mayor promising to get people back to their commutes soon, but like... it's hard to see it as anything else than a deliberate middle finger to every WFH worker. "Yeah we know this works better for you and a ton of other people, but the downtown businesses are making less money and we can't have that. Go drive 90 minutes every day."

While true, most often both have some want and just don't see how to fix things up. If you can figure out how to fix things up then that is the best thing to do.

While I'm a big believer in marriage for life, I do recognize that sometimes past you messed up and leaving is the best option. 75% (maybe more) of my message isn't about fixing up the current relationship, but carefully choosing who you get into one with in the first place.

If you can't beat 'em, interview elsewhere and flee low quality, malevolent employers. Mayor Parker controls her employees without caring about their wellbeing, and frankly, they have options. Unemployment is low, interest rate cuts are coming (which is going to fire the economy back up), and the federal government is always hiring remote [1].

Mayor Adams in NYC had to learn this the hard way as well [2] [3] [4]. These people always need to learn the hard way, because they're used to being in control, and no one gives up control willingly. "I'm the boss" mental model.

"What Can NYC Do

The City should take steps to modernize its hiring and retention practices, by implementing recommendations in the Comptroller’s office’s Title Vacant and the 5BORO Institute’s Solving the Staffing Crisis.

Both of those reports recommend expediting hiring, allowing hybrid work for appropriate positions, reconsidering compensation levels for key hard-to-recruit slots, and designating Chief Talent/Recruitment/Retention Officer(s) to drive this work.

In the recently-announced tentative agreement between the NYC Office of Labor Relations and DC 37 (the City’s largest municipal labor union), the parties agreed to establish a “Flexible Work Committee” to discuss options to provider greater flexibility and enhance employee morale, including remote work, compressed and flexible work schedules, and improve transit benefits. The parties’ goal is to begin a pilot program that includes remote work no later than June 1, 2023." [2]

Note the union support in NYC; Philly's union is trying to fight Parker on the return to office mandate, but that will take time. Faster to bounce from the city for individual optimization.

When I kept having breathing problems and none of the respiratory tests or cardiac tests showed a problem, it was "stress".

"Stress" is an easy answer for everything.
You act as if all the iPhone Patreon donations would've rolled in regardless of the app / app store, but also that Apple is somehow going to kill it. It's logically inconsistent.

1. If Apple plays a key part in getting those donations, then the 30% is not a problem: the content creator is not getting 70c on the dollar; the content creator is getting 70c instead of 0c. Apple gets people to donate that wouldn't otherwise have done it. There's a ton of money flowing through the Apple ecosystem purely because Apple made it a premium experience.

2. If Apple does not play a key part in getting those donations, then the 30% is still not a problem: the content creators / app makers / Patreon can simply switch to some other platform and get the same results.

The beauty of capitalism is that we used to have horses and shoes only, then black cars became an option, and now you can buy any color you like. I guess some people think they appear to be clever, thoughtful, and fair-minded finding an issue with every step forward.

It seems it's an invalid encoding if I understand the article correctly.

There seems to be some debugging utility in such a mechanism, e.g. you could use it to run CPU tests, benchmarks or debug code in userspace of a stock OS and then directly communicate with serial port MMIO without needing to pollute the CPU state with a system call or change the kernel to directly map the MMIO into userspace.

It’s odd how Apple picks and chooses where to enforce this requirement.

Throwing prevents the caller's control flow from passing into code that assumes a useful value was returned and ready to be consumed when it wasn't. Handling a success or a failure with exactly the same code shouldn't be a default because it almost never makes sense.

A Java exception can suppress stack trace init if needed, letting an instance be created once and reused very cheaply (though logs will be less useful).
Software that critics say is used to inflate rents. Had a stroke trying to read the HN title.
From the article:

> Apple has also made clear that if creators on Patreon continue to use unsupported billing models or disable transactions in the iOS app, we will be at risk of having the entire app removed from their App Store.

In other words, every Patreon creator has to be billable through iOS App Store or you get kicked off.

Someone should get the FTC or EU involved. This is beyond the pale.

> Parker has also made clear she wants the city’s return-to-office plan to be a model for private-sector employers, part of her effort to make a more economically vibrant Philadelphia.

At least they're being honest (as honest as a politician can be, I suppose) about what this is really about - a stimulus package for downtown businesses and landlords.

For an additional layer of irony, apparently she said during her campaign, quote "I'm uniquely prepared to make the city the safest, cleanest, greenest big city in the nation with access to economic opportunity for all". I fail to see how forcing people to commute (public transport or not) achieves anything but the opposite, but perhaps I just don't see the genius in that.

Heh. I remember doing your first solution for an Eye of the Beholder-style FPV engine back on the Amiga circa 1994. This was using existing blitter mask bitplanes so there was no sprite creation, everything was very fast (assembly). Can't remember whether I did culling based on bounding boxes first.

I also remember being quite chuffed about coming up with a "novel" approach using dithered planar masks to offset colours into palette ranges for not-too-blocky lighting. Then Quake came out. You forget just how siloed we all were before the Internet took off; every wheel imaginable must have been reinvented so many times...
> [RealPage] Chief Executive Dana Jones said that the company’s software helps both landlords and renters, and that the root causes of rising rents are the lack of affordable housing, increasing demand and inflationary costs of building and insuring housing.

Yep. I do wonder how much the finger-pointing at companies like RealPage is an attempt to distract people from the actual reasons why real estate is so expensive here.

That being said, if RealPage and others are essentially helping landlords do price-fixing, they do need to face consequences, along with the landlords using their services.
