This looks great but delivery via Amazon SES is a problem. I'm an academic and I tried to set up a work newsletter like this with Listmonk recently, but SES rejected my request to relieve me of sandbox mode for unspecified 'security reasons'. Everything was set up properly, it was under a domain under my personal name, I gave links to my profile page on my university website, ample explanation about what I would do with it (one email ever few months), that I would be the only sender, but they rejected it. So in the end I've opted for a hosted solution... anyone else had similar issues?

Explain?

And wasn't Faraday also a self-taught amateur whose maths was so poor that he couldn't even do trigonometry?

A beacon of hope for those of us without doctorates in physics out here...

I agree. Feels like he's trying to hypnotise me into joining a cult.

European digital sovereignty in email depends on having a decent FOSS email client, but the best we have is Thunderbird. I hope TB can make up for all those years of lost time and catch up with Outlook. From their emails it seems like the focus is to compete with Exchange and to build smartphone clients. Personally I just really hope they find time to deal with the absolutely shoddy search.

Naturally ;)

Man here. Female friends key to my not feeling lonely. Couldn't identify less with men who only see hanging out with men as key to not feeling lonely, which is what this app seems to offer. Seems like the target market for this is lonely lads, when lad culture is driving male loneliness. But hey, I guess some men, even in the West where this app is targeted, really just feel uncomfortable making friends who are women. Open yourself up, lads.

CTAN is the central repository for all TeX packages, it's the natural link to give. If you want to see examples it's as easy as clicking on the relevant package name (eg XCharter) and then click 'Package documentation' which will request the relevant pdf. TeX outputs into PDF so it's the natural medium for demonstrating and documenting things. It's got nothing to do with not 'living in the current century'.

Anyone care to explain in layman's terms what this is about?

My mistake, apologies!

I would love this for Emacs!

You mean XeTeX for LuaLaTeX, I think.

I go to HN, text.

Hallelujah.

Baggers is also the author of SLIME: The Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs, too right?

The English stock exchange and insurance industry were also established in coffee houses, albeit in the century prior to the American.

Think the parent has confused Von Neumann with Wiener. They've also misspelled Shannon.

Yet another take on entropy and information focused on Claude Shannon and lacking even a single mention of Norbert Wiener, even though they invented it simultaneously and evidence suggests Shannon learned the idea from Wiener.

He also accepts donations

Ojisan as in O.G.san as in Old Gangster san?

Honestly you sound like a robot.

> Now the intention is that Faroese households and businesses can also access this service - subject to approval from the Faroese authorities.

One would hope the Faroese administration would put this on ice until the US administration quits its threats to the sovereignty of their fellow autonomous Danish territory of Greenland...

In the 1920s or '30s Henry Ford stopped or at least slowed with the antisemitic bile that he was spewing in his newspaper The Dearborn Independent, which put Hitler's Mein Kampf to shame and earned him the only favourable American mention in Hitler's book, because it was impacting sales of his cars. The question is whether the same might be the case for Musk, but his wealth seems decoupled from his cars, so it's not going to happen.

I recently learned that DJs today just press a button to mix two tracks. Growing up mixing and beat matching used to be a skill to be proud of. Now it's just a button. So I was told.

Relatively minor side point, but still: for people who chastise "European freeloading", it's interesting to note that none of Signal group's members' usernames have the badge Signal gives users who pay for the service. Users like me, from Europe. Sure, they might all be paying but have opted out, but let's be honest that's unlikely.

Even Emacs? Do say more...

Fellow Emacsers, note there are a few accounts on Liberapay of people who make some of the things we love:

Org Mode: https://en.liberapay.com/org-mode/

- Ihor Radchenko (Org mode maintainer): https://en.liberapay.com/yantar92/

- Bastien "bzg" Guerry: https://en.liberapay.com/bzg/

- Timothy "Tec": https://en.liberapay.com/tec/

Magit: https://en.liberapay.com/magit/

- Tarsius (Magit, Transient maintainer): https://en.liberapay.com/tarsius/

Guile Emacs: https://en.liberapay.com/guile-emacs/

I submitted this Liberapay link, and have no association with it besides funding a few projects and coders through it. They wouldn't have been expecting a surge in traffic.

This. The barrier of entry is too high. Feels like the Indieweb is stuck at the protocol layer and an abstraction above it is badly needed.

Side note: NYT have the best illustrators in the business.

More like: Kind of weird time doing business with Americans, given that they're exporting Nazism across the globe.

Or rather, kind of weird to be identifying people with their governments, and to do this only for Jews.
