Defending isn't just about outside forces. There are internal 1s too.

There have been plenty of polls / surveys and it isn't united. Lots of people living there were originally from China or have some relationship to it.

Hi Bron! Thanks, JMAP will come at some point too! (:

Someone has already been working on JMAP support in mox. I'm currently in a refactor of the storage layer, keeping history of (deleted) mailboxes too. Should address storage requirements for JMAP.
> We estimate that the cost of the bill of materials and assembly of a galvanically isolated charging port is about $300 per kilowatt. So a single 300-kW port in a public charging station includes about $90,000 of power electronics, of which about $54,000 is for the isolation link.

I would love to see a concrete BOM for a sample build and mouser links to back this up.

Seems ridiculously high, like paying some military/space grade premiums, or just using very niche parts without economies of scale driving the cost down.
The popcorn button on a microwave actually does something unique, or at least it does on microwaves with a real popcorn button. I think microwave designs are only bad insofar as they have been made so cheap that the special functions have been made vastly less useful.

Imagine a catastrophic fault: a dude in another car drives into your car at the petrol pump. The petrol pump starts dropping huge amounts of petrol on the ground. Part of the car wreck falls back on the ground and ignites a fire, causing the whole station to blow up, killing everyone within 100 meters.
Clearly, we cannot allow petrol stations to exist.

> What are some things with easy entry-level learning curves?

Last year I realized I could memorize every country on a world map and it would only take a few hours over the weekend. Connected it with some wikipedia searches about countries I don't really know over the next few weeks and suddenly I feel so much more knowledgeable about the world and have a new hobby. There's a lot of stuff that everyone has heard of but doesn't know anything about and it doesn't take much time to fix that.

I didn't find anything about sub-addressing in the features list. Is it a supported feature?

Also, with a version number starting with 0.0. I'm left wondering if Mox is already stable enough to be entrusted with my precious email.

I couldn't agree more. However the reason we have a Popcorn option on the microwave is because it makes the difference at the point of sale, not at the point of use. Most people when presented with two devices that essentially do the same thing, but one has more options will chose the one with more options because they have been lead to believe it's better.

Design is so often polluted by marketing. The direction of progress from concept to design to marketing to sale should be one way only.

I’d say you’re looking at this wrong - the harm of a “dei” article staying up is nonexistent. The harm of an article about women’s health or workplace safety being taken down because it includes the word “gender” or “diverse” has the potential to cost people their lives.

7.6% is based on the google results for “percentage americans lgbtq” - if you want to know more about that number you can find more on said search engine. Is there a number you have in mind where the gov no longer has a responsibility to serve them?

> In what cases does the information need to take your gender into account, unless it's about specific organs, which are either masculine or feminine?

You’re confusing gender and sex. Gender is a description of social and cultural traits - sex is the one relating to organs and chromosomes. But either way, taking down pages about women’s health because of a law that claims to have the goal of protecting women is just dumb.
The battery swap feature was implemented only to maximize California clean energy credits. Only enough infrastructure was built to claim the credits.

“In 2013, California revised its Zero Emissions Vehicle credit system so that long-range ZEVs that were able to charge 80% in under 15 minutes earned almost twice as many credits as those that didn’t. Overnight, Tesla’s 85 kWh Model S went from earning four credits per vehicle to seven. Moreover, to earn this dramatic increase in credits, Tesla needed to prove to CARB that such rapid refueling events were possible. By demonstrating battery swap on just one vehicle, Tesla nearly doubled the ZEV credits earned by its entire fleet even if none of them actually used the swap capability.”

What do you mean by "coding at a professional rate"?

The reason managers should code is more so that they maintain familiar with the state of the codebase. There's no particular output rate required for this, they don't even need to merge their changes, but they should be getting their hands dirty and making sure they still know how the pieces fit together.

I wouldn't trust a long term plan from someone with their head in the clouds. They have to be able to see the ground to draw a roadmap.

If they close a few tickets here and there, that's just icing on the cake.

TFA says the manager should be in the code but not necessarily writing code. I disagree. The only way to be in the code is to write it, even if you throw away what you write. I agree with TFA that the manager should not be in the critical path (unless there's some sort of crisis). But I don't think they can keep current in the state of the code by just reviewing PRs, unless they're a real coding genius.
One-based indexing is an example of this. It's always argued as being familiar, as if people learning to program couldn't deal with adding 1.
I've never thought that cultural relativism is supposed to be bad/wrong - I thought that kinds of thinking is superstitious, a bit racist, and are an undesirable strong basis for many kinds of hostilities in the world that it shouldn't be a formal majority point of view.

One cannot realistically construct the ethics procedurally and reproducibly from blank slate, so holding a false beliefs that one can or do have such set of "scientific" ethical standards only justify genociding oppositions.

Ethics is just half-broken loose set of heuristics developed and optimized evolutionarily. It probably can't even be properly quantized into text. It's nothing that stands up to scientific computational scrutiny. And there we step into cultural relativism as a principle; there are lots of behaviors we humans show as "ethical" acts that sometimes seem random and not universal, that also seem to work where it is done, and maybe not work where it is not done, so you can't say which one is it.
I wonder why doesnt it use RAG for code context retrival across the codebase? Is there some fundamental reason why init in for example claude coder makes this stupid claude.md file instead of vectorizing and indexing the codebase locally?
I guess it depends on the network? From what I've seen, most people are there for the 0.3% getting 99% of the engagement. Whether that 0.3% is the big accounts on Twitter, or whatever is on the main page on Hacker News. Try making a comment on a HN article a couple of hours after it falls off the front page - you're extremely likely to get anyone to notice you. A few days? You may as well be yelling into a void.

There are a handful of exceptions - some small Reddit subs, some old forums. But for the most part, people on social media aren't really interested in something that's not already popular.

I'm so tired of this trope on HN. It comes up over and over again, but never considers non-economic quality of life issues. Take for example public schools: They are awful in poor US states, and good-to-excellent in most highly developed European nations.

If Britain were a US state it would be between Mississippi and Alabama in GDP per capita.

I agree with your rant, but it's not relevant to this thread. GP asked a question about how Trump's behavior could be explained and I explained it.

If you think that you are "set" when your self-hosted setup passes the test case of communicating with Gmail and a few other big providers, you're saying that it doesn't matter if you cannot communicate with smaller providers, including other self-hosted guys like you. If they have any trouble reaching you, why they should just effin' use gmail! That works fine!

Yes? And what did I say: if your ISP has mail servers for you, it can simplify things greatly if you use them.
Yes, please. But you know, these days, everyone is doing their own research, and think they nailed it. But it's often sloppy research, unfunded arguments, etc.

Just looking at the map in this article, and whatever source this comes from (some people don't seem to bother sharing sources) - it seems not accurate. (e.g. why is Greenland a different color than Denmark...)
Some providers are reputation based now. So you need to send emails and slowly ramp up amount over time. Difficult to do if personal though, as you won't get enough throughput.

Author has decent points, but then again falls into “europoor” trap. He keeps saying how things are bad in Europe because X, Y, Z, but China also does X, Y, Z and for some reason he doesn’t comment on that. And as usual, no comments on quality of life for an average citizen.

Some people really need to go out, sit at random bars, and talk to people. They would get a better pulse check on society than 24/7 Twitter shitposting.
Norway, probably yes. Their population is more educated, and their civil society much better functioning than the UK. Their society is less unequal and (I’m pretty sure) their quality of life figures would be higher.
Monaco is just a tax wheeze and playground.
It's a damn shame. At this point it's basically in then favour of large providers to randomly block domains since otherwise hosting your own would be trivial.

Intangible products are very real

Manufacturing plastic one use sponge bob toys are also real. Real and not particularly useful and perhaps not what most people imagine when they vastly overstate the importance of manufacturing to an economy.

Now jets and planes and military supplies is a real issue.
But Manufacturing in general isn't how many tanks and fighter jets you can make at best it correlated.
Meanwhile off-by-one errors are ludicrously common…

People can learn to deal with adding 1, but it’s still a cognitive encumbrance that loads us down and makes life harder.

Not that I’m advocating for one-based indexing. At this point consistency is more important than whatever the easier solution is.
The fundamental reason is that RAG kind of sucks and requires a ton of effort/optimization to reach a high degree of reliability for most applications. RAG solutions are not Anthropic's core product. Just reading all the relevant files is more expensive but is more effective and efficient from a dev time perspective.

> And honestly, if the mindset was: hey, you know what, this isn’t great but it’s what we’ve ended up with, it isn’t the end of the world, and maybe we’ll crack the nut and improve things down the line… I think a lot of golang’s detractors would nod and everyone would move on.

What makes you think that? The Go team is clearly working on trying to crack the nut. There is, as of about a month ago, even now an exploratory implementation: https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/71460 It is not an easy nut to crack. Many serious proposals have failed for good reasons. But it is abundantly apparent that the effort is there and ongoing.

The "golang detractors" aren't acting rationally. If you watch carefully you will see that most of the time they don't even understand their detraction points, indicating that they are simply repeating what they saw elsewhere. The unfortunate reality is that they aren't looking to contribute anything meaningful, they are simply trying to be funny and they will continue to believe it is funny until "You idiot, Go already has that" can be said and manages to wear them down.

> three lines of mostly-identical error handling around every function call is optimal

To be fair, while I am sure we could do better, I am not sure we have found it yet. I do my programming in various languages with all these fanciful error handling semantics and it is not good. I regularly wish those languages' idioms had settled on something like if err != nil over what they ended up with. It is not great, but better than the rest. But it is encouraging that smart minds are working hard trying to find better.
Reading this gives me some slight existential dread, since most of my time here I just read other people’s comments.

In any case, I think a big barrier to starting things can often also just be the fear of failure or of wasting time. I spent a lot of time making electronic music as a hobby, and am probably better than most people at understanding and playing music, but for music to play a meaningful impact in my life I would need to put in a lot more work still.

On the other hand, I studied physics and mathematics far beyond the average person (getting a PhD and publishing multiple papers), but I had the support of the university and the academic environment to give me that extra push to do it.

There are so many things I would like to pursue in my free time. Building a small startup, writing a book, making YouTube videos, etc. I know that the most important thing is to just start, but the decision paralysis, and uncertainty about whether it will work out in the end can definitely be a barrier, since I can also just go out with friends and enjoy my life instead of spending time solitary.
I mean, I see where you’re coming from. In a direct democracy system like HN or Reddit, this is indeed a problem.

I was approaching the topic with a smidge of nuance and perhaps that was not clear, and I’m sorry.

Identity is definitely an issue in modern political culture, but I don’t know if PG can solve it anymore than you and I can. I think people just need to recognize and appreciate conjunctive nuances in their own opinions. Politics is identity AND culture AND religion etc etc. that’s my contention anyways.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply yourself!

The west does things even worse than that to non white people and the west does near nothing (usually perpetrating this behavior) to avoid coups the way you’re saying.

There was a coup orchestrated by the west in Ukraine in 2014. Followed by an escalation of a complicated situation that is not clear cut like people in the west like to make things seem. After the coup, there was suppression of Russian things by the western backed and planted regime.

Of course things may have eventually escalated if Ukraine and the west are doing that and the Russian separatists in the east are provoking in DPR and LDR.

I am sympathetic to Kissinger, Dugin, and Mearsheimer views on geopolitics if you must know.

> Sweden and Denmark haven't been hegemons because they haven't needed to be.

That's exactly right, and I used nearly exactly those words in a recent comment.

Important to note: The free world - economically advanced democracies excluding the US - is the largest economy in the world, larger than the US by about 30%, with an even larger population.

These countries have a historically unprecedented incentive to work much more closely together now, and there is a massive void to fill.
