Show HN: Inbound Email (SMTP) to Webhook
Here's my first (hopefully of many) open source release. A minimal script to receive emails via SMTP, parse content (including headers), store attachments in Amazon S3, and forward email content to a webhook.

I use it to power DMARC report storage and email content testing.

Some of the big email API providers have inbound APIs but costs can rack up fast if you're using them at scale. Hence why I built this.

https://github.com/sendbetter/inbound-email

Features
- SMTP server to receive emails concurrently

- Parses incoming emails using mailparser

- Uploads attachments to Amazon S3

- Forwards parsed email content to a specified webhook

- Configurable via environment variables

- Handles large attachments gracefully

- Queue system for processing multiple emails and webhook requests simultaneously
Unfortunately the original comment is now flagged and deleted it seems, so I guess I will never know what his/her snark was. Also I would be scared to comment any of my own comments here, because I've had some pretty legit questions about stories seen my own comments being flagged, so I have some trust issues with thr moderators here. Ever since I've had my own pretty legit comments flagged on HN, in ways that seem rather unfair, I can't help but wonder what I am missing when I see someone else's comment flagged and deleted here.
I wonder if Cloud Run or Kubernetes is the safest bet for the future, when using Google Cloud.
If it needs to be in topological order, how do you handle tables where the DDL includes mutually referencing columns (column A1 references B, column B1 references A).
Yes but all analogies of physics are oversimplifications; d_sem's analogy still conveys "why it's not FTL communication", even though it suggests a hidden variable that doesn't actually exist — that the colour genuinely isn't determined until one of you measures it, is only something you can verify by talking about it with each other afterwards (and even then as a statistical artefact of many such measurements not just one).
One major reason I either only watch Youtube on no account or dedicated Youtube Google account.
If you can only sell it for $10 when it’s locked, it’s a deterrent.
Useful, we're paying Sendgrid close to $500/month for inbound parse.
Some people, even smart ones, make the mistake of thinking people pay attention to an entire event like this.

Likely, his mental model is that eveyone reading that blog has read his X.
Yeah, and I don't think performance matters that much for these utilities (and AFAIK many of the original haven't been particularly optimized for performance anyway).
Oh I love FM synths! I'm working on a customisable one in my spare time lately for the kids' school, as the music teacher was complaining that the students have been using all the same samples over and over. Feel free to have a peek! Desktop only. Source code is hopefully nice and clean too: https://chrishulbert.github.io/you-synth
You would be surprised how niche these two things are. I don't care about both and 6 seconds of a tech guy's voice I am sure isn't the trademark of his content
They just can’t make enough money off it, so find some other crime to do. Assuming it’s common enough.

Not deleted just [flagged] [dead] and invisble with default user preferences.

You can always choose to enable your showdead: YES option in your preferences.

> seen my own comments being flagged, so I have some trust issues with thr moderators here.

That's almost always other users that [flag] your comments, often for being off topic, non serious, derogatory, in bad faith, etc in the opinion of other users .. if several users flag then it becomes marked as flagged and several more make it dead (numbers can vary and some users have the power granted to flag comments and see them go straight to dead).
Many here say they won’t use Google for anything cloud, but hoe many of you have Gmail for Workplace at work?

Probably everyone. It’s the best solution for work emails, docs, calendars, etc.
They’re not locking the phone for that, they’re adding a barrier to competition by adding friction being able to switch carriers.

I have found the same to be true in game development once all the pieces start coming together. There is no substitute to just using the thing. Maybe you don't find bugs/splinters, maybe you realise that it just doesn't feel right once you've glued the components together.
Yeah it should be per second. If you run the numbers that's the solar power falling on the Earth. But to capture it you need to be above the atmosphere, only about 75% reaches the Earth's surface.
Either Fowler’s 2nd edition made some pretty big changes I’m unaware of, or we are all using very different definitions of Refactor. Do you guys mean “redesign”? Because that’s a very different word from “refactor”.
A bit like breaking a door is "the same ballpark" as unlocking it with a key. Or paying with legit currency instead of counterfeit.

Sometimes all you want is the effect, other times it's important that you're accurately representing effort or accounting for other human considerations.
That term would be ‘jailbroken’ right?
Initially I'd say well if you're a public figure and upload your own voice online, of course this will happen. So its something to expect, however, this shouldn't be a problem for Jeff to solve... instead it should be YouTube's problem as they profit from the video monetization. Eventually they'll have to have some kind of detection for all uploaded content.

> It’s the best solution

It's the least worst solution for "whole-workplace" systems, but most people who are saying "won’t use Google for anything cloud" probably self-host or use something like PurelyMail (https://purelymail.com/) or FastMail (https://www.fastmail.com/) for their own emails
Can this be disabled at runtime?
Also, .NET loves leaving core features to paid/freemium third parties/cloud instead of offering it as a first class open source component. It makes it hard to justify buying into the ecosystem when it's a blatant funnel. Just look at how they do their OAuth:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authe...

All cloud/paid solutions. At one point they were all in on open source but the tune quickly changed when they saw how much profit they were leaving on the table.
Snake oil salesmen are a feature of humanity. There always were/are/will-be unscrupulous persons who will make exaggerated claims in order to sell some mediocre product. Then there also are a lot of people who prefer to believe in too good to be true claims.

I appreciate HN critiques, fact-checking, etc of overblown claims. However, it behoves decision-makers to verify claims and to proceed with caution. Being cynical and paranoid are essential survival mechanisms. Nothing will save the gullible.
It’s true. Two weeks ago, I did a bit of light consulting for a data engineering project involving an IoT device and half way through designing the GCP architecture of the pipeline, I realized that Google was shutting down their IoT service… I ended up having to recommend AWS.

That also took me for surprise. You’d figure the company that indexes the web could at least maintain a project like that.

I agree that it's not agile, it's the environment that led to agile/scrum being adopted: not that it leads to better products, but that it gives management more control over every decision of how time is spent. essentially they can arbitrarily reduce the time/budget you have, and hire standard code monkeys, etc, to get something made.

I think in a company like Steve Job's Apple, where it needs to look perfect (within his tastes), you'd have the time to polish the UI even with agile/scrum - one of the acceptance criteria will be "I spent 5 minutes kicking it and I didn't get any splinters". and then later on when Steve gets a splinter, he'd yell at you for a bit and then create a ticket.
> Again another bot. How did I find out? The bot didn't bat an eye when I informed them I have 6 Billion customers on Mars, Venus, and Pluto.

That reminds me in their interview process with me. So you are hinting they also use bots for hiring developers. Would explain everything.
I strongly disagree. I don't know the rights around one's own voice, but the idea that you suddenly lose ownership of something because you shared it online is the exact thing that many people take issue with when it is written in the terms of service for social networks, creator tools (adobe), etc.
I totally agree that we should get higher vram sizes on GPUs but they are not the same as DDR5.

The one you listed does around 50Gbps. A really good gpu does almost 450Gbps. Prices as you know also don’t scale linearly. For something twice as good sometimes you pay 4x the price and so on.
Fingers crossed. I love Cloud Run.
That and cases of teenagers assaulting teachers that dare take away their phone. For many teachers it’s not worth the career and physical risk. If kids don’t want to learn they are not the enforcers. They didn’t buy these kids the phones.
The US foreign territories have nothing to do with resource extraction. They're primarily maintained to provide strategic territory to the US armed forces.
Why would they do this? I could understand using a non-GPL make because they hate it, but using an ancient GNU make is just handicapping your users for no gain.
I'm not exactly sure what this is asking. Is it asking if my best friend is also a co-worker? Or is it asking if I have someone who would be considered a best friend while inside the confines of the office?

Currently doing this Discrete Optimization course by Pascal Van Hentenryck and it is great: https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-optimization

It has only week on Linear Programming which is nicely done but I think the real value is that it starts with the much more playful Constraint programming and focuses on intuitions and keeping you both entertained and trained which is really hard to do.

The course comes with assignments and the whole thing sort of has a Advent of Code flavor (I kind of have a half baked plan on make this year discrete optimization my AOC theme).

Not strong on the modeling part/business motivation.
I maintain that the Wordpress.com confusion has done more harm than good for Wordpress as a platform over the years. I really wish Automattic had chosen any other branding.
It is clearly trained on his voice. The intonation and pitch differences you describe are just because it’s AI generated and not human speech.
Google lost the rest of my trust with the ongoing fiasco with google play dev verification where many developers are not able to confirm their phone numbers for months and are at risk of losing their accounts. I can totally see myself being banned from GC for some nebulous reason or being locked out of account with no recourse. Their support bots are useless
Japanese woodblock prints were not considered art at the time, they were for the day to day. From advertisment to low cost decoration. Japanese Woodblock prints do not really have an original other than the woodblocks themselves (or the original painting the wood was carved from).
My favorite apocalyptic sci-fi novels with complex / flawed characters
Google domains was not integrated into google cloud.
And artifact registry is the better product and you had like 3 years time to migrate , which was a simple button press and changing the urls of the images. Of course it took some work, but it is not more expensive, effectively it’s cheaper since you can more easily clean up old images
I have not found any mention of accuracy. Since it's using LLM, how accurate the conversion is? As in does that NASA document match 100% with the pdf or did it introduce any made up things (hallucinations)?

That converted NASA doc should be included in repo and linked in readme if you haven't already.
At least with Cloudflare they'll get back to you in five minutes as soon as you complain on HN
It’s good but extremely expensive. I opted for a custom solution, and it’s now costing me a tenth of the price.
The court explicitly limited their decision to the voices of professional singers in that case:

> ...these observations hold true of singing, especially singing by a singer of renown. The singer manifests herself in the song. To impersonate her voice is to pirate her identity...

> We need not and do not go so far as to hold that every imitation of a voice to advertise merchandise is actionable. We hold only that when a distinctive voice of a professional singer is widely known and is deliberately imitated in order to sell a product, the sellers have appropriated what is not theirs...
How is your proposal different from CMake?
If you want to read more, look up Bell’s inequality and the related experiments. The result (briefly summarized) is that looking at one set of particles reveals no difference, but repeated experiments yield different probability distributions if entanglement is present.

Also, entanglement is «faster than light», which does indeed have physical implications. Quite mind-bending ones, at that.

> Commodore and Atari and Acorn and Sinclair and Dragon and probably dozens of others I've never heard of.

Let's not forget the french. They had Oric, Matra (IIRC), Thomson and... The Minitel.

And now they're absolutely nowhere to be seen, just like Japan: it's either PCs (basically running Windows or a Un*x) or Macs.
Yeah. My first experience with the cloud was moving a small web server to an ECS docker container. The server used to log into a huge text file, which could be grep'd lightning fast or opened up in a text editor even when it grew to gigabytes of size.

When switching to AWS, I got to experience CloudWatch, and my first reaction was WTF is this ****? (and once again when I saw the bills)
> How about the US and MS ruining everything as usual?

My personal theory is that MS set the human race back at least 20 years. YMMV.
I use my Hotmail for all my important emails, my Gmail is my catch-all for everything else.

Why Hotmail? Because if the name isn't enough indication it's because I've had it for well over 25 years at this point and I like Microsoft anyway.
Learning long sequences in spiking neural networks
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) take inspiration from the brain to enable energy-efficient computations. Since the advent of Transformers, SNNs have struggled to compete with artificial networks on modern sequential tasks, as they inherit limitations from recurrent neural networks (RNNs), with the added challenge of training with non-differentiable binary spiking activations. However, a recent renewed interest in efficient alternatives to Transformers has given rise to state-of-the-art recurrent architectures named state space models (SSMs). This work systematically investigates, for the first time, the intersection of state-of-the-art SSMs with SNNs for long-range sequence modelling. Results suggest that SSM-based SNNs can outperform the Transformer on all tasks of a well-established long-range sequence modelling benchmark. It is also shown that SSM-based SNNs can outperform current state-of-the-art SNNs with fewer parameters on sequential image classification. Finally, a novel feature mixing layer is introduced, improving SNN accuracy while challenging assumptions about the role of binary activations in SNNs. This work paves the way for deploying powerful SSM-based architectures, such as large language models, to neuromorphic hardware for energy-efficient long-range sequence modelling.
It's nearly a crime when a government pay with tax money for product that is in low usage and have zero advantage over the free alternative.
nice, I saw this game somewhere recently but didn't realize it was free. "Verified" on Deck , too! thanks for recommending, will give it a shot!
It’s more common in the U.K. than it seems to be here. The hiring market means it’s much easier to find C# devs than something else. The company I previously worked for which wasn’t in London ditched Python after I left and has pivoted to it.
I didn't mention ownership and I don't think you should lose it (nor does one lose it really even in this case, legally). But I do think that in cases like these, where there's money involved and YouTube, that they should have the means to prevent it.
Yeah, I got the Xbox for Halo 2, but Fable was an absolute top highlight as well. Those two games and Morrowind made up the vast vast majority of my hours on that console. Great times :)
Was just looking for something like this. Does it handle equations to latex or similar? How about rotated tables, ie landscape mode but page is still portait?
Sorry for late reply but I've seen examples that are very sloppy, problems that don't make sense, students being marked down for bad reasons etc. And the course forbids use of chatgpt etc. so it just seems really hypocritical.
I believe when you heat the oil to 374°, it kills vitamins but also Omega 3. It's the oxidation, that's why Omega 3 is sold in pill or you get something like 3 month to end your bottle of cod liver oil.

I didn't notice the color as distracting, the oil actually change color when heated up.

Look if you are interested in your health, there are plenty reputable source of information on cod liver oil.

For instance
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00456...

> The results indicate that although currently produced fish oils may undergo rigorous purification procedures and show low contaminant levels, cod livers sourced from the Baltic and consumed locally, continue to contribute substantially to the dietary intake of these contaminants.
Yup the question is poorly phrased. Not useful.
Never found that part much of an issue, there’s good support for installing redistributable packages on Windows alongside the application in all the installer frameworks I’ve used.
That wouldn't qualify as truly unlocked, though
I don't buy this. Not serving the customer's needs? Is this the paying customer's #1 feature request/bug fix? It's probably some poor random sap that has to use the software and notices it.

There's different kinds of software. The software I work on now, the advertisers are the real customers, not the users of the app. So the users have basically zero buying power unless they stop using the app and we need to attract them back, but a small bug like this isn't going to do that.

The other kind of app you sell to a company. They want a good app that meets their business needs, but the ones making purchasing decisions still aren't the Frontline staff that have to use it. And there's no way a bug like this is making it up their internal chain and then over to the vendor.

And even if all of that happens, I have trouble believing this would be prioritized in a sprint. The only way anything gets fixed is if by some miracle an eng with the power to fix it either notices himself or if the app is popular enough, someone tweets about it and he happens to read it. It'll never make it through the formal chain.

I know this because as an eng who would rather do some sanding then add more useless features... Well, then the PMs wouldn't have anything to do.
For one, the OpsWorks configuration management tool is being replaced with Management Console, which is more encompassing, but different. You have to manually migrate or rebuild any deployed resources from one to the other.
Do you have html/js/css minification turned on in your cloudflare account/domain?

It seems from the articles conclusion that it shouldn't be related. But I had similar issues with SVG and css when I first deployed my nuxt app to CF pages. I only thought to try turning off CF minification because there was some tiny footnote about it being an issue on CF somewhere in the nuxt docs or maybe GH issues.

People are really freaked out about hallucinations, but you can totally tackle that with solid prompts. The one in the repo right now is doing a pretty good job. Keep in mind though, this project is all about maxing out context for LLMs in products that need PDF input.

We're not talking about some hardcore archiving system for the Library of Congress here. The goal is to boost consistency whenever you're feeding PDF context into an LLM-powered tool. Appreciate the feedback, I'll be sure to add that in.
