Especially when they say:

> Don’t feel like you have continue the conversation if they respond. You can if you want, but don’t feel obligated.

Then why did you write?! What kind of "good human being" are you?

Noise, if it does not support the claim. Signal otherwise.

I would have taken the yellow book and called every bakery listed there to check if they were open. I think sometimes the impact of technology is overstated :)

Just replaced for the first time battery on my Macbook Pro 2015 Retina. Feel so good using such an old piece of hardware.

If I was a hiring manager, I would certainly appreciate this attitude. However, I would value as well a person who would use an already made tool for doing the job (such as yt-dlp). Only problem is that the second type wouldn't write a blog post about it and get traction on HN :D

If he said there's 50% chances, then he'll be right in any case.

In this case was also subsidized by the companies offering the deals. And I guess they had less money to waste than VCs...

Actually my experience is the opposite. In colder climates such as Russia, Finland I have seen room temperatures to be quite mild, above 20C for sure. However, in Italy in winter it is quite cold inside.

Needless to say that thermal insulation is awful in IT.

Totally agree with you. However, some times I think most of the people take what they're given and the 'radicals' are just a small percentage of the total. Manufacturers simply decide to make what is cheaper for them (see for example 16:10 vs 16:9 for monitors).

> As I was typing this, a great example of said broken crap, is Lenovo popping up a MessageBox asking me to reboot to update my firmware. Didn't software developers all agree well over a decade ago that windows stealing focus was not a good thing? So why then is a top of the line brand in the PC world writing shit like this?

Don't think that MacOS spares you about that either. Update notifications are equally distracting.

Exactly. Especially considering that the plot shows only percentages.

For the author of the blog post it would be better to draw conclusions about 'developers disappearance' from a plot showing absolute numbers.

Quick question: does anyone know what involvement there is between Sourcehut and OpenStreetMap Foundation? Just curious as they do not seem related at a first glance.

HN is not about downvoting things one disagrees with but rather posts that do not add anything to the discussion.

Same holds for upvoting, many times I upvoted posts I did not agree with but that raised interesting observations on the topic discussed.

This is what makes HN great in my opinion.

I've been on the Google Play version of K9 for years and I must say that it was perfectly fine. I changed to FairEmail as I thought having a very old version of an email client might not be ideal from a security perspective. At the moment the biggest change from my workflow is the UI, which looks better that the old K9. Now I am not switching to K9 F-Droid version just because I am lazy to configure everything again another time.

But please bear in mind that my way of using email on my phone is very minimal. I usually just need something to read and for most of my productivity task I use mutt.

Just switched from K9-mail to FairEmail.

I was using the Google Play version of K9 so at the moment I am quite happy of the switch. There is only one thing that I did not manage to find in FairEmail which is the ability to read the header of emails. Like the whole information, from SPF, DKIM validation and so on. Does anyone know if it's possible to get this?

For the moment I am planning to stay with FairEmail and maybe one day try the F-Droid version of K9 as I heard it has evolved a lot in the recent times.

I just recently ditched oh-my-zsh as I wanted to understand and have more control over my shell. I have to say that just using native zsh capabilities I don't miss oh-my-zsh at all.

A good guide (although a bit old and maybe too thick :) ) is this one: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide.pdf

Could you clarify what you mean with media?

According to my understanding a medium is a mean of communication, thus including text. OTOH it seams from your message that these are two complementary objects. Is my understanding correct?

A QR code reader was the problem then... I am an Android user since the dawn of time and I was so surprised when my wife showed me that on her iPhone the QR code reader is embedded in her camera app... I wonder why it is not the same in any version of Android that I have used (now I am on Android One).

This plus the native support for CardDav and CalDav are pushing me to try iOS next time I have to change my phone.

The application was called Riot earlier and went through a rebranding in July 2020:

I think it's fixed now, it was not working correctly before but now the site looks great!

On Firefox, the left table of content pane overlaps with the text thus I cannot see the leftmost part of the paragraphs...

Vim's default behavior is to put two spaces after a period when reformatting (for example with gq).

If you prefer to keep one space instead of two you can use:

  set nojoinspaces

I do not know if it's available on iOS (I suspect no) but on Android I am a really happy user of Osmand. It uses Openstreetmap as maps provider and I always use it when hiking. It gives you the altitude profile of your route which is very useful.

But then why would Google's mailserver not know that it once delivered email to that mailbox?

If the protocol is stateful, why the state should be kept by the "sender" and not by the "receiver"? Being stateless removes this ambiguity in my opinion.

Also we should remember how bad is for spam reputation sending emails to a non-existent address and thus I would not blame it on the mailing list for being "overly cautious".

Nothing to hide is a very relative concept. How many times it happens that something a famous person says or writes is completely decontextualized and thus the message that passes from their words is not what they wanted to convey?

The same thing can happen to anyone of us if our private life is looked with the eyes of another person.

Would you care to elaborate how one would start implementing a DNS that goes directly to the ROOT?

Honestly interested here.

So it is not only Facebook that has complete access to the message history, but also Google.

The funny thing is that I cannot find a way to access that backup myself, is anyone aware of a method to download that backup as a data dump and inspect it?

Well, I would say that two months are still missing before the end of the year, so we are comparing 10 vs 12 months if my understanding is correct.
