I was expecting a question about simple%example1.com@example2.com.

which I remember was a useful trick when I worked as a sendmail admin in the early 2000s.

I'm very sorry that happened to your son, and that you and your family had to endure it.

I don't think you're right.

For example not every Trump supporter walks around with a MAGA hat. It's one thing to anonymously vote for Trump, it's another to make it public and deal with all the social backlash.

Driving a new Tesla is pretty much a MAGA hat.

I'm all for capitalism, but still don't understand how people can work in that cost-cutting department.

If I was working there, Id quit the moment I realized what my job was about. Id honestly rather be homeless that get a paycheck from that kind of work.

I might end up visiting Portland just to see the airport.

How do you get to that correlation? Anecdotal or is there some evidence?

> 1: Being neurodiverse is a superpower

I have a small child on the spectrum. Hes very hard working and its good he is, because pretty much everything is 3x more difficult for him to learn. Language, coordination, emotional regulation. Before diving into this world I also thought it had some benefits, now that I see the daily struggle I dont think it does.

There's some evidence ludopathy has a genetic component (aside from obviously environmental).

I think it's cruel for us as a society to allow that to be exploited for financial gain.

I can't go back to coding without copilot. I agree it's a real efficiency booster.

You're right! It was gorilla.bas, cheers!

I love it. I too started programming with QBasic in the 90s. I spent many hours modifying (and breaking) the code for bananas.bas and nibbles.bas to give myself all kinds of superpowers.

I haven't touched QB in decades but I'm glad someone did and had fun working on it.

They spend that amount on a bike, because they first bought a $300 bike, then upgraded to a $1500 one, etc. It's the same with guitars, you can start cheap and figure out if it's really for you.

Your parents would have to specifically install the Epic Game Store.

If they did (which I doubt unless they're avid gamers) the only thing available for purchase there is game related.

What if you temporarily remove the neglected pups, care for them while young, teach them to operate in a "normal" rat society and then reinsert them?

I have a feeling the company prioritizing profit is going to win.

What I most remember about Sun is them acquiring MySql, ruining it, and making PostgreSQL the leader in open source databases.

I switched to a unihertz jelly phone. I configured the screen to display in grayscale.

It can do everything I need, but it's uncomfortable to use. The screen is tiny, it's a pain to type, etc. But if I really need to reply to an email it's entirely possible.

Which is exactly what I wanted.

Aside from SPF, DMARC and DKIM, there's the concept of "pre-warming" an IP.

Where you gradually send more and more email throughout a few weeks until you have enough good reputation to send your entire volume. This is the part that's outside of normal configuration and takes more time.

In my particular case I was trying to move a system that sends about 5million legitimate emails per month (notifications for a lot of customers) - off of AWS onto a self hosted solution.

We spend about 2k per month just on sending emails and I thought if I spent a few days on it we could save that money.

Unless your IPs have built a reputation it's not going to work. I could gradually migrate volume, monitor the bounce rate, adjust, etc. But that was more work than I could afford to put into that project. I also couldn't risk getting emails sent to spam while I experimented.

hmm, I've made several attempts at this with postfix with DKIM,DMARC and SPF all correctly configured and validated and big providers will still sometimes flag me as spam.

It sounds nice in theory, in practice I've found it's pretty much impossible to send your own email reliabily.

The cheapest working fix for me is to relay everything through a AWS SES, and magically everything is now accepted. A little frustrating, but that's what the Internet has come to.

This is basically encoding(base64?) the <textarea> and putting it in the URL.

Its a neat idea, but I think theres a limit to how long URLs can be.

so could this be resolved by having a high tax (~50%) on second/rental/investment homes?

this reads like it was written by Steven Seagal

Reddit is the only social network I use.

They're really dropping the ball by not having a fantastic search tool. I know search is a difficult problem, but with the kind of budget and engineering power they have it has to be solvable.

true, but as long as we're talking about a democratic society. it would be improbable that kind of people decide on a counterproductive system.

I visited 2 years ago, it made me rethink everything I thought about society.

The parliament has no guards, you can just walk in and talk to one of your representatives. Who BTW all biked there, evidenced by all the bikes outside. 95%+ of people look to be thin and fit. Everyone looks happy.

A common misconception is that the Danes success is their system. I like how this article frames it around trust, because that is really the core issue. The system is almost irrelevant if you have decent,honorable people participating in it.

I'm not criticizing just noticing...

only on HN do I frequently read comments about being upset with the spacing, formatting, font, layout, etc of articles.

I find it interesting. Nobody on reddit ever makes that comment. Maybe it's because a lot of you come from STEM academic backgrounds.

I read the whole article on my phone and wasnt bothered at all by the experience.

If you need an abortion or IVF, you don't need a second passport and definitely not a private jet.

You just need 10 mins worth of googling and a regular airplane ticket to one of the many places that will perform those procedures on foreigners.

People are crossing the border every day to get crazy dangerous esthethic surgeries in Tijuana.

I'm more worried about living in a country where 50% of the citizens hate the other 50%, where the media keeps pushing everyone to hate even more. That has been the downfall of many countries. It has real potential to make life very difficult fast, especially if you have kids.

neither the American people or government have any money saved.

Hmm not sure about this. Ive been self-hosting websites since the early 2000s. Have had several sysadmin jobs managing hundreds of servers. With that experience, I still wouldn't be able to protect a website from a serious DDoS without CloudFlare or similar.

This is the history of specialization of everything. You could argue there was a time everyone knew how to grow some of their own crops and look after some farm animals.
