Here's the US's first fire mark, from the Philadelphia Contributorship for the Insurance of Houses from Destruction by Fire.[1] Founded by Benjamin Franklin and still in business, they sell perpetual fire insurance. Pay one large premium, once, and the building is covered for the life of the building, even through resales.

"The concept of running shoes as we understand them today, specifically designed to improve running efficiency and comfort, did not emerge until the late 19th and early 20th centuries."

It's a neat idea imagining what running footwear was like throughout history. Was Pheidippides barefoot when he purportedly ran from Marathon to Athens? Did Indigenous Americans debate which style of moccasins was better for your long term foot health? Did warriors develop plantar fasciitis from poorly designed boots?
That's a great question, especially considering he's openly acknowledged owning Palantir stock.
Sodium is huge and heavy compared to Lithium, at almost quadruple everything, and then it has 3 valence rings instead of 2 compared to lithium. The density issue is very much limited by this, in a physical sense.

The quality of dns always makes or breaks your internet experience. Personally at home unbound on opnsense with some blocking list has always worked really well for me. Openwrt with pihole also works fine. But the moment I have to use some recursive dns like this, I tend to not enjoy the experience.

Is it though; what does the term mean; are we talking to our computers, not reading anything and just judging the non-coder endresult? Or are you just using it to help coding. Vibe coding would be the former and while it sometimes works, it doesn't in many cases, including LoB tools if the backoffice is large and complex enough. Unless you have some interesting tooling to help out, in which case it is possible, but that's not really vibe coding at the moment.
Are "regular" shoes with thin soles the same as "minimal" shoes?

For example converse all stars / vans / boat shoes?

I prefer to feel the pedals when I'm driving a car and use thin soles, but yet walking with these shoes really (excuse the pun) tires out my feet.

Lamport argues that we should separate the "What?" from the "How?". I wonder though, for most problems, doesn't the "What" and the "How" of a program somewhat merge?

For example, are performance considerations part of the "What", or of the "How"?
> Marketing will simply demand changes to the config that they do not understand and there is nothing you can do to stop it as they will have the CEO on their side.

Marketing should get their own (sub)domain for sending their missives, that way the primary corporate domain's reputation is not harmed.

Unless you want to run the risk of outgoing e-mails from Finance / Accounts Receivable to be sent to other companies' Junk folder.

The worst thing is that the TDC's calculation is very much GIGO if you get the Angle On Bow input wrong, and that's the hardest thing to get right.
I am curious as to your experience with this.

Over the years, I have administered a few dozen small to medium domains (depending on the domain 10s to 10,000s emails per month) and the only thing that has ever affected delivery is the reputation of the sending IP address of the mail server (and ensuring DKIM/SPF alignment in more recent years).
The incredibly partisan tone of this leads me to be dubious of all the claims. That said, it would be very unfortunate if even the most basic of them was true. The Texas legislature shouldn't be interfering in the ERCOT market.
Unless you're not looking very hard I presume you're making a polemic point here. i.e. it's not a good faith response to the person you're replying to.

They are obviously saying "the differences are significant enough for these measures to be misplaced" and you probably mean something like "I think the differences in these areas are closer than you claim".

So - go ahead and make the argument you intended to make so we can engage with it.
Actual athletes are training for a specific goal. If you're a swimmer/runner/pole vaulter/whatever you may want a different program to focus on things that improve your performance in that discipline.

Most people who go to the gym just want to be in shape, and for that goal the author is right - assuming "getting in shape" to you means developing a fit and capable body. He's also right that a lot of people misguidedly waste a lot of time on unnecessarily complex routines that don't even work that well, and spend way too much money and effort on supplements.

It's been a meme stock with a very high percentage of individual investors all along. At first that was a brilliant way to get cheap capital. Also, cults are cheaper to build than conventional brand-building. It may have been the only way to build a real high-ish volume car maker.

It just looks like a scam now because unwinding a meme stock cult frequently looks like like the end of an apocalyptic cult.

honestly my take away is the opposite

we by far don't enforce them strict enough, because if we where people would make sure to get it right

it's all a question about effort/turnout

if you make it so that most times you mails still somehow end up with the user even if you mess them up there is much less insensitive for companies to fix their mail or force their provider to fix it

so IMHO if all of SPF,DKIM and DMARC are not correct setup mails should just be directly discarded and not even delivered to spam

while being more flexible was reasonable when this tech was new, that was 10 years ago. If being flexible mean that you also will sometime deliver outright cyber attacks like spear phishing and similar to your user and everyone had 10 years to fix their systems then there is really no reason to still be flexible.

Also "scammers get it right so it's useless" is such a huge red hearing argument, yes they do get it right _for their domains_. It sill makes it harder (and if strictly enforced impossible, except if you give them permissions to do that*) for them to impersonate your domains.

And yes that doesn't fix scammers from using their own domains, but it also was never intended to do so. Doing so is a very different problem one which probably needs some form of reputation system which isn't something you can just solve technically as it touches on a lot of subtle social political issues. Also given that all of the huge mail vendors have insensitive to use their "intern proprietary obscure" reputation system I don't expect there to be a technical solution provided/adopted tbh.

(and yes SPF/DKIM/DMARC are all tech wise quite "meh", but we are kinda stuck with them, through that never was the issue IMHO, the issue is missing insensitive to bring the adoption up and missing insensitive for large mail providers to enforce it strictly)

EDIT: PS: In one point they are fully right so, that is, with how things are you can't give SPF/DKIM/DMARC a large weight for calculating reputation. Also they where always only meant to tell you if someone can't be trusted, but never if someone can be trusted.
Interesting that the majority of (new?) UK govt software development is by convention Ruby on Rails:

https://docs.publishing.service.gov.uk/manual/conventions-fo...

Are there other examples of governments mandating the use of specific technologies?
I highly disagree with this.

I just left a couple of comments regarding the use of "strtok". Its use is straightforward, just RTFM. Those were the golden days when people were less reluctant to read documentation. You could not even install Linux back then without an installation guide of some sort. You still need it for Gentoo, perhaps even Arch or Void. Are they wrong? No, just different target audience. If you do not want to become a "power user", that is fine.

My grandma can barely handle the TV controller. So what? I am really against dumbing things down, called "ease-of-access" or whatever they call it these days.

I agree on that, however, that GPG / PGP signatures should be more visible and whatnot, just add some visual feedback (verified? legit?, etc.), and some e-mail service providers actually do this.
Well deserved.. On web, I get labelled as a bot for no reason and its so bad I just stopped using it on web...
> Russian IP addresses are still trying to send email in the name of my domain for some stupid reason

For what it's worth, I've started seeing cybersecurity insurers requiring riders and extra payments if you don't block Russian IPs.
SPF more like whether the email came from a server that's authorized to send emails on behalf of a particular domain.
Why isn’t anyone else (with a local stake in the issue) coming up with the solutions?

I'm very aware of it, growing up in Brazil an Argentinian crisis was on the news every couple of years. I'm not saying anything about the Argentinian government, I do feel something like Milei was bound to happen. I wished it never needed to be so drastic but that's just my humane side showing some bias, they needed a shock to get out of the eternal crisis.

What I'm criticising is using Cato Institute's mouthpieces as an analysis of it, as if it were a model to be followed, and using this rather peculiar societal issue as a pillar to the ideas the think tank tries to push all the time, it's just blatant libertarian propaganda.
Definitely there are studies about that, for example: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11211751/

>but apparently have not experienced what people here are claiming

Or you did have experience it just did not notice. The problem with experiential comparisons is that different people have different levels of sensitivity and attention. So just because you didn't feel it consciously doesn't mean you did not benefit from it.

I don't think there's an easy answer as we all have differently tuned bodies with different known/unknown beningn/malevolent conditions. It's probably good to do some short term experimenting, try eating more magnesium and calcium rich foods and see how you feel. If you really want to be objective, get your blood contents measured. (Although blood levels don't show everything, like calcium stores in the bones.)
Lithium on paper has better energy density because of where the element sits on the periodic table. Sodium is pretty close though. So, it's unlikely to push lithium out of the market for a lot of use cases.

Both chemistries are likely to continue to improve. And sodium ion is still pretty new. There might be some solid state batteries based on sodium ion at some point. Lithium ion solid state batteries are much closer to market ready (multiple manufacturers have announced product roll outs over the next few years).

For a lot of use cases, cost and safety might be more important than energy density. There are a lot of different chemistries at this point.

This device is a bit on the heavy side but not overly so. 350 grams is not that heavy. Probably price and longevity are more decisive factors for people that would buy this. And the safety is a nice bonus.
Because it's tricky is exactly why it should be in the standard library.

The C++ standard library should just incorporate ICU by reference IMHO.
Bah that old thing again. FWIW the demo scene 'coders' call themselves that with pride, and usually those are often also brilliant 'programmers' and 'software engineers'.

Hyperlegibility
> We need to be able to treat anonymous email differently than email from people we actually know.

The simplest solution to that would be an "only show me emails from people in my address book" filter. That would mostly echo how we treat user trust on all other platforms. Genuinely surprised this doesn't exist in most email clients (or does it and I have just overlooked it so far?)

Of course that's only a partial solution and wouldn't work for accounts where you expect unsolicited mails from people you don't know. I'd see it more as a "low-hanging fruit" solution. You could also expand the heuristic, e.g. also consider previous conversations, mailing lists, etc.

(Interestingly, the "introduce a friend" functionality would come for free: You can already send contact details as a VCard in an attachment. When receiving such a mail, some email clients will show a button to quickly add the contact to the address book.)
I'm in a very similar boat. I never went in for the full-on barefoot running, but did jump in on the Vibram 5 fingers bandwagon (still love them), and even today prefer minimalist shoes.

The switch to forefoot striking helped me a lot with pain in my knees, with my tendons getting inflamed. The trade-off was inflamed Achilles tendons, and occasionally the plantar fascia. It was a great trade-off.

Running in VFF's is awesome - so light, free, etc. Better on grass than pavement for sure. Because of my stride, I'm prone to blisters on my pads behind my pinky toes, so I would really burn through the VFF's in ways I don't with minimalist shoes, hence the switch. VFF's are also stinky, even when you've got lots of toe socks to help with moisture. (Those socks would develop holes even faster than the shoes)

All in all, I thought the toe shoes were awesome. If I was still super into running, I'd probably only wear them on race days.
The race condition is definitely there, but if you use t.Cleanup to close the listener then the listener does not stop listening on the port until the end of the test. If you try to bind an http server to the port during a test then your http server will stop and return the error "bind: address already in use".

I'd be interested to know how you're working around that, if you are able to share.
Would love to hear more from Argentinians! Thank you for your perspective.
Yes, there are results for people saying "vibe coding" on HN. I don't feel like reading the ~500 or so mentions of it to tally which ones are people promoting it vs. which are people complaining about it. Do you have a summary of your results?

I did a quick search and all I'm getting are the recent stupid Nazi jokes in response to people's outrage about what Musk did, or the one where Musk was talking about how government workers did Hitler's bidding.

> he was angry in the 80s in my parents living room

Yikes, how bad was your parents’ living room?
Correct. The most supported container and codec families are those coming out of the MPEG - .mp3, .m4a, .mp4, H.264, H.265 etc. - because they are the products of a giant standards effort. A lot of modern TVs and set-top boxes will accept content in e.g. the Matroska container, and VP/AV video content, but unfortunately support still isn't at the level of the MPEGs.

Unearthing the lost flora that escaped the end-Permian mass extinction
Yeah I don't have a lot of early childhood memories that probably aren't just re-creation of things I see in old photos, but one memory stands out - my late uncle leaning over stroller I was in, me getting properly scared of his mustache and starting crying.

I mean stroller where infants lie flat down and have this canopy above head, sorry don't know exact english term. Can't be more than 1 year in any normal case, I was a tall child.

But then again who knows, maybe its a memory of a dream experienced later. Our mind is a weird place, and subconsciousness is making various cleaning activities and modifications to make us feel better about ourselves (something I try to fight consciously to remember things as they truly were with all the warts and all, but it ain't easy).
On a sidenote, for everyone looking into vit d, this talk with Stasha Gominak was very informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74F22bjBmqE

As for the criticism against vit d supplements because of the extreme variability of actual vit d between brands, regardless of the supposed IU they advertise (there is very little objective, independent quality control being done, which makes it a bit of a wild west, but I guess that goes for _all_ supplements).

I don't think it's necessarily a problem. Ignore the prescribed dosage by the brand. This sounds like bad advice, but it's not reliable cfr. the variability. Just get your bloodwork done first. Then start experimenting with consistent dosages and stick to one brand. Get your bloodwork checked again after a month and proceed from there. Aim at a value between 40 and 70 (according to Gominak, which I concur doing my own research/experimenting).
