The obvious commercialization route I can think of is the following: every time you get a yellow letter you make an NFT; every time you get a green letter you make an NFT. Then you can provide zero knowledge proof to other people that you have all those NFTs, and compound interest over time. For the NYT it's all about supporting artistic expression you see /s

In short: machine learning, voila!

HTML was originally envisioned as something extremely user-friendly to let people and companies customize their online presence. Nowadays multiple professional roles and software stacks are between the content and its HTML representation.

It tells us something, but also regularly what's easy looks hard. I have organized some hackathons and coding events for students. Some start with create-react-app for showing an image. They are very hesitant to do things the "manual" way when I suggest it. I think it's awesome that vanilla gets to have a community like this.

Question for HN: how do you handle DMARC reports? We have an email where those are just pulling up in a S3 bucket. I was hoping to find an easy solution that unzips them, aggregates, visualizes, and alerts us (if necessary).

In the meantime, I'm hoping to avoid yet another subscription service. Any suggestions?

Recently, I learned about an art sale in my town. Pieces were all anonymous and with the same price (VERY affordable for original art). Since this is HN, I should clarify: these weren't NFTs and such, they were drawn by hand on a predefined canvas size.

The name of the artist was revealed only after the piece was sold & there was a high chance that the person was some neighbour living close to you.

I had an absolutely delightful time browsing the art — imagining my room with some of them. I was also astonished to learn that it was the 18th event of our local chapter and this one had over 700 works for sale. They exceeded their sale target by 10%.

I had no idea it existed, but I have known what OpenSea was since about a year ago. One of my friends was complaining that her brother is wasting his time on it and gets absolutely nowhere. Since then I have only seen crypto transaction fees climb so I don't imagine there are less barriers to putting stuff out there.

I wonder in a world where we value things based on their social good and objective usefulness, how many Billions of dollars would my local anonymous art show be worth.

I'm gonna keep this. A good example of how a government bid for an open-source development is having an outsized impact. Ironically, it happened as the gov were switching away from Linux to windows. Where I am, so much of the government money is wasted on code that ends up nowhere. Neither in the hands of the public nor where it's supposed to go

Eventually someone will write a string matching library that renders the characters on an internal canvas and diffs the pixels instead.

Unrelated to the topic, I love this website's commenting system: Via email! So simple and practical, don't know why I hadn't thought of that!

Yes, notation seems to be critical. I wanted to see how well it can recreate the training data; so I picked Kyle from South Park and put in "they killed Kenny". I assume this should be in the training set, being a running theme in the show. The inference puts it in a question-like tone, not like the original.

Canadian here. This publication is one of the radical and sensational ones from my experience. Not somewhere I would get my news from.

I don't see anywhere that Sanders encouraged a no vote. Members have talked about voting no but Sanders speech appears to be commending the strikers only. Not suggesting actions.

Yes, and this threw us off because we thought we weren't communicating the encoding correctly with Safari. A day later we finally realized that's not the issue.

Unfortunately this issue made them not have a demo ready by the anticipated date, so the good feeling didn't really prevail.

We learned that the hard way. Still, the basic dev expectation is to get the same thing out that they have put in. It shouldn't sound outrageous that we expected to get the same representation. That's all.

Thanks for trying to be helpful. Of course, I over-simplified our 4 years of development and the specialized field we are in. There isn't really a database involved here. I am sure there are many more correct ways for us to do certain things, that said, I respectfully disagree and macOS is the issue here.

When you can be compatible with everything else, please try to be. MacOS isn't in this case. I would rather stand on the shoulder of giants who spare my staff from having to learn about "NFKC" and "NFKD". It's nicer to spend that time with our families. That's my humble opinion and personal values of course.

We had unicode characters in strings in our database. When those were being fetched by the front-end on Safari, the browser was making them a different character. This meant if the exact same string was going back to our server after being in Safari, any kind of string-matching was failing. So let's say you were looking up something based on the string, it was not there.

We did some unicode testing on different platforms and this was never an issue. Also to note these weren't complicated emojis or anything like that (e.g. character & skin-tone). Just usual characters with accents that are not in English.

The resolution for now has been using String.Prototype.normalize() with some tricks. It works for our case, but obviously it is not a silver bullet.

This week we had a UTF-8 issue that only impacted Safari. One of my colleagues had bought a brand new Macbook Pro and our web-based software was fatally struggling with its default browser. Chrome was working fine.

It took us days to get to the root cause. Turns out that the issue wasn't Safari, it was Mac OS. Chrome was working fine because presumably they do the UTF-8 handling on their own.

I always hear rosy thing about how polished the Apple ecosystem is, but you can imagine how unamusing it is for my small business to spend $3000 of staff time on such a basic thing. I guess I understand it better now when people rant about Safari being the new IE.

I LOVE Blender, like, a kind of love that's embarrassingly too much for a software. No to mention that my work or hobbies don't often interface with 3D modeling.

So I have been thinking about what makes this project so special. I think it's the fact that the community owns it. So you don't have to ask for permission to do anything. Mix that with inherently creative people who approach the tool and you get:

Have you tried it after 2.8? The interface is a lot more intuitive now.

From the title, I thought this is about people ending their romantic relationship in a strange place.

I really want to understand what the reasoning behind this "test" was. From all I can research, it appears to be a cartoon-esque level of recklessness by the Russians. The test itself seems to prove very little beyond what Russia could already do. They also haven't bothered to find a lower orbit to contaminate. Can someone provide more sensible reasons of why this was necessary?

Because the cost of a contract initiation on a DAO is much less than that expensive lawyer you must hire to make that LLC a reality. Your LLC collects the funds but in exchange, you can't issue a security that easily. Selling shares to random online folk isn't easy either. But the most important thing is convincing people. DAOs are now an initiated concept. A centralized version of that needs to emerge again and find its stable model over many years, just like DAOs. This will hopefully happen.

DAOs are what crowdfunding platforms should have been. Kickstarter and what not ended up being all the risk and none of the upside if the idea actually got traction. One can argue, this DAO was neither Decentralized nor Autonomous; what it did right was giving people a sense of ownership. We tend to focus on the costs and weaknesses of DAOs, but hardly any non-crypto services operate on "we let you hedge some money on a random idea". Turned out if you let people play, they play.

There are varying opinions about 3D printed buildings. When I was new in this industry, I thought they are the future. Even approached the UOSC for a position, but as the time went on, I understood how my tech background was influencing that thought process.

3D printing offers little advantage over prefabrication, yet it comes with many costs, biggest of which is embodied carbon from all the concrete pouring. NASA has the right mindset to pursue it on other planets, on earth our housing issues first come from archaic design and permitting processes.

A lot of this story and why it sticks is the narration. This sort of storytelling is rare amongst technical people but certainly something to aspire to.

A slightly different answer: I would change the domain name ownership model. Right now to buy Kayaks you go to amazon.com, to travel to the amazons you go to kayak.com, it's confusing for end users . It's also empowering squatters and not the innovators. Also the whole .org debacle showed that community representation is not at the center of things.

This will be as much reduction as retrofitting about 200 homes, without any of the social benefit. Not to dismiss their work, but puts things in perspective.

For your first gripe, I think it wouldn't add anything over crawling a website. If you only want to archive the content, with semantic HTML you can easily know where the article is. It seems like a solved problem when browser reader modes can extract the data so well.

For your second gripe, perhaps a separate "excerpts" feed would do it. I know some podcasters publish the same content over multiple feeds for this kind of customization.

Completely agree. I remember with my past phones, there were lots of flashy features to play with but then they'd become annoying and you'd start to notice glaring usability problems. Pixel has exactly what it's supposed to have and all of them are well designed.
