You can create manual automation rules through the 'filters' functionality though [0]. It's not automatic/bayesian based, but after some tinkering I manage to use it quite effectively. [0]: https://support.moz

Indeed, in the end it all comes down to trust. One of my favourite HN comments of all time is this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33899478 If you want to be 'really' secure, you can trust noone. No sili

In Belgium, if you buy an appartment at the coastline using a business, the fiscal authorities dispute the tax deductability and depreciation (33y by default) if it is not at least on the second floor.

I fly long distances regularly for my job. One of the things I struggle with is back & neck pain because of working on a tiny, constrained laptop that forces me to look down. Of course in the office or at home I have a decent, ergonomic

You can also just have multiple banks and then choose one of them to be the account where you put your 'working money'; i.e. an amount that you can afford to lose. This way you still get the convenience of having a bank app (quick

If you look at their EBITDA and EPS and compare with their growth, future is not looking all to bright. They either are going to have to massively cut expenses (thereby potentially losing their R&D advantage), increase their conversions

Use css variables for colors, then load the relevant set with a 'prefers-color-scheme' media query. No need to serve 2 CSS assets: the difference should be minimal.

Thanks for the answer! It was clear to me that you were using Postgres under the hood, but it was not clear to me that your implementation was completely stateless. As a suggestions, maybe it might be useful to have a documentation page wit

Congratulations with your release! What is the current support level for `scale-out` clusters? I can find a thing or two about high availability [1] and a small set of transaction isolation levels [2], but I'm unable to find detailed i

Paper/master thesis/nerd snipe idea: does availability of Reed-Salomon information of unencrypted files weaken the encryption of their encrypted counterparts?

I'm still looking for a full-fledged backup and archiving solution that has the following characteristics: 0) error-correction (not just detection!) 1) end-to-end encryption 2) deduplication 3) compression 4) cross-platform

About a week ago the UN approved the decision to change the country's name from Turkey to Türkiye. ISO now follows suit and updated the short and full name of the country.

Interesting side story: for centuries coins were intentionally made to have a ribbed side surface because otherwise people would sand/cut off the sides and sell the obtained metal. Nowadays coins are usually not made of pure and/o

I perceive it more as `interesting story` vs `interesting project`. OP's project-story is right on the edge between the two for me. At least for Show HN there is an official guideline [0] which mentions: > Show HN is for something y

I think you mean #111 or #222. The ghost letter thing is interesting to me. Was the background plain white or more of a broken white?

Open, idle websockets can be a use case for a large amount of tcp connections with a small data footprint.

Very valid point. I think for me an important distinction here is the problem size and complexity. The larger your problem, the more certainty you need that your solution works. This is also why we write thousands of tests for large softwar

Makes me think of the last time we shot metals through our exhausts. Do we really know all the consequences of algae growth and iron particle rain this time around? Or are we going to have a leaded gasoline, chapter 2?

The bill includes a new law proposal that: - Mandates metadata retention for ALL communication related services (including ISP's, apps like signal, etc), under very vague constraints - Forbids strong encryption at rest. Failing to coop

One project in this space that looked quite promising to me is sysbox[0]. I've used them once for a gitlab runner set-up similar to what is described in their blog[1]. It's currently working great and I have not had any major cras

To be honest, this is not a shitpost in my opinion. He might really have met Pike and Pike really might have said that some day.

Thinking in absolutes is never a good idea when it comes to a subjective matter (in this case: code style). goto statements can and sometimes do have good use cases, for instance finite state machines and error handling. It's not becau

I'm happy to inform you that nowadays the storks in Belgium are sort of returning. There's two successful breeding programs happening: one in "Het Zwin" and one in "Planckendael". It is sadly true that the stor

Honest question: since making mrna candidate vaccines is apparently so easy, would it be feasible to include mrna of multiple disease proteins in one vaccine? Is there hope for e.g. a general std-vaccine that covers all of the most common s

Maybe they should try to file an RFC update/new spec? I would be all for it, since it is backwards compatible and covers some essential new needs of a modern configuration syntax. It seems they already have some notable people included
