throw_away

Could people who do this talk a bit more about how the outgoing side works out? Is there a way to do this where I don't have to jump through hoops just to hit reply to a message & have it come from my custom domain?

Ideally, what I'm looking for:

* wildcard routing

* keep existing archive of mail

* easy to use (replies make sense on mobile and web interface)

* not have to replace google identity (for YouTube prefs + 3rd party sign-ins)

There was this discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30104783 about how a gsuite account could be converted to a free one, which sounds like it could work with this, but I'm still unsure about how sending mail would work out.

The next best alternative I see is fastmail, but that saves me just $12/year + I have to do a lengthy export + I'm not sure how my google accounts will work out.

How does this work with your mail client? Can you configure it to read from gmail, but send through zoho? Or do you have to switch accounts to reply?

Does this mean I could use something like the Cloudflare email routing beta

https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-routing/

& use my old custom domain like before + have a catchall on that domain, while also maintaining my existing mail archive & google purchases?

Their FAQ still warns about scratches & how you have to use a micro-fiber cloth. I would think there would be some sort of metal you can both engrave very precisely but also not have to worry about it scratching like my eyeglasses.

Or else put a layer of plastic on the surface more permanent than your standard floppy lcd screen throwaway.

Ah, but one thing I miss about the burned-in subtitles was how, on VHS at least, one could fast forward like 2-3x and still be able to read the captions. I double-lazied my way out of more than one high school book review where a boring book was made into a boring movie.

I would much rather we use AI to improve subtitling. Better auto speech recognition, per-word millisecond synchronization, positioning based on speaker/screen content-- all these could improve the subtitled experience and would be way less creepy than deepfake voices.

> No one shuns…listening to music alone

This wasn't always the case (before the Sony Walkman introduction in 1979):

"The idea that a person could listen to music on his own was strange and novel. In Capturing Sound: How Technology Has Changed Music, Mark Katz mentions that in 1923, Orlo Williams compared someone listening to recorded music alone to “sniffing cocaine, emptying a bottle of whisky, or plaiting straws in his hair” (Katz, 20). This was an obvious exaggeration, but he emphasized the strangeness that society associated with solitary listening"

I think just the history->xml conversion would be a bit of a hard sell, but I would be willing to pay for a sub if there were some additional features like:

* easy add to my filter list (like maybe a browser plugin so I can see that the current site isn't in my filter, but I can click a button and now it's in my filter & opposite for remove for when sites start to suck)

* stats on which sites I visit after searching

* aggregate bing+google filtered searches

* curated site lists for different topics, top 100, etc. Maybe like a temporary search using these sets such that I can try them without affecting my own filters. Maybe sharing lists w friends

* some sort of search anonymization/log deletion feature

* integration with browser search on desktop & mobile

* search flags like duckduckgo so I can easily switch filter sets by typing like /news or /nerdshit in the query

* integration with archive.ph & wayback machine

It would be cool if I could take my existing browser history, aggregate by domain, sort by frequency & then create the necessary xml for the programmable search. Maybe with a pick & choose UI so I could decide which sites I wanted.

Right now, looking at your allow-list config, it feels a bit custom to you, but if I had an easy way to limit search to the sites I myself know and trust, I could see how that would be useful.

I know I could probably pick it out of my browser's history UI & poke it into Google's Programmable Search UI, but that seems like a hassle and a half.

A book I generally like and agree with, David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, I find reads better as his original essay. I suspect many books get made this way where content originally starts as a good essay or blog post, but then to fit the requirements of book media, need to be blown up, at costs in time for both the author and audience (& resources for dead trees+transport+storage, if in print).

Not OP, but this couple has written a bit about working on tech projects while living on a sailboat: https://100r.co/site/working_offgrid_efficiently.html

I think this just changes your own local view of the history. So you can fix the message, but in order for anybody to see it on push, you'd need to reify the changes with git-filter-branch & rebuild.

For others as confused as I was: Square bought Tidal earlier this year. Spiral was Square Crypto. TBD54566975 appears to be some sort of decentralized exchange Jack Dorsey tweeted about at one point. & they're all being put under this Block banner, apparently.

Specifically, it's for ELF binaries built in such a way that adding a new function or new data does not break however they cache existing functions/data.

I wonder if this concept could be extended to other binary types that git has problems with, were you able to know/control more about the underlying binary format.

This solution was posted recently:

It maps GMT hours to A-Z letters (omitting I and O). The advantage is that there isn't any confusing overlap between common 'folk' understanding of what hours are what, and the new time values are easily distinguishable from traditional timestamps without need for a TZ marker.

In a way it would carve out a separate, global sense of time in our mental space for use when we do need to coordinate (or just want to opt out of DST shenanigans), and yet let notions like "12:00 means lunch" live on alongside each other.

I think the reason why the stat was computed in the first place was also to show that an overwhelming majority of emission sources are in turn controlled by 100 * (avg board size) human beings. Changing consumer behavior and incentives is one side, but one should also consider the behaviors and incentives of those 1000-ish people.

In South Korea today, you can be imprisoned for five years just for having any drugs in your system (follicle test) no matter where ingested & South Korean citizens can be punished for consuming drugs abroad where they would otherwise be legal:

I think not only was it a reaction against SOAP, but also against other common API styles like shoving everything into a GET query string or a POST body. Some name had to be attached to it. Simply 'HTTP' couldn't be used as both SOAP and query/POST both used HTTP as well (not to mention WebDAV).

As a young engineer implementing an early, prominent 'REST' service, it was kind of a surprise to me to find these lurking, unused verbs like PUT or DELETE in the spec. But they were there & that style beat the living tar out of SOAP or query string. But, in my memory, rfc2616 was used far more as inspiration and reference than Fielding's dissertation.

Fanta & other non-colas do contain citric acid, however, as mentioned under fact #4. If willing, one could simply try the sugar water experiment explained in that same section.

I don't drink soda, so I am not willing, but I am interested as to whether I could just use any food-type acid mixed in water to ease stomach discomfort and dodge this whole sugar/hfcs/fructose/sucrose question entirely.

To be fair, the US was supporting the other side as well:

> “While we appreciated the training we received through the NGOs sponsored by the U.S. government, and it did help us in our struggles, we are also aware that the same government also trained the state security investigative service, which was responsible for the harassment and jailing of many of us,” said Mr. Fathy, the Egyptian activist.

@beat was a full decimalization of time (1000 'beats' per day).

This is just giving new, universal names to hours. I can see this working a lot better than the alternative (use GMT/UTC everywhere) as you'd always have mental contention as to whether you meant a time in local or GMT. This way you don't need the additional label. And I could imagine getting used to the idea that my workday lasted from P-X & the other geographical zones had their common hour blocs.

Potential issues:

* 0/O ambiguity

* presumably the day flips over when the hour goes from X->A, which means sometimes it's tomorrow already.

Today, the average age of Melanoma diagnosis is 63, so they very well may have still died by large before typical onset.

Looks like there's a migration plan for git to SHA-256:

https://git-scm.com/docs/hash-function-transition/

create a bookmark on your toolbar with the following url:

  javascript:window.open('https://archive.is/'+window.location.href.replace(window.location.search,''))

this prepends 'https://archive.is' to the current page's URL, but strips out the query string and fragment, which can lead to cache misses.
