I was an undergraduate there. David Kelly was my advisor. APL was my first programming language (using the DecWriter paper terminals) and it’s still my favorite.

Looks like a GUI wrapper in fact, no?

Yes thank you I can get a little clumsy with my acronyms. Downside of not being a proper coder/engineer!

No problem. I only asked because if there were a CLI version I wanted to know about it.

He might have been unusually color aware, as brown is a type of red.

Just rent a server with a good company (such as Hetzner) that’s likely to have clean IPs, install Linux and Postfix, and Dovecot if you want IMAP access, read and carefully follow the Postfix documentation, read any of many online guides for setting up DKIM, etc., and you’re good. Once up, it’s largely hands-off. Mine has been running smoothly for over a decade. Don’t believe the FUD.

That’s some weird use of language in the tweet. It uses “demise” and “root cause” as verbs (demise can be a verb, but it doesn’t mean what the tweet author thinks it means). Is this some new form of corporate-speak that I haven’t encountered before?

Demise is a term of art in the space industry: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Preparing_for_the_Futur...

Root cause is commonly used as a verb https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/root_cause

There is nothing about using “demise” as a verb in your first link. I see “root cause” as a verb in the Urban Dictionary, but neither that nor your link (both crowd-sourced) are evidence that it’s a common usage. But it’s clearly not unheard of. How unspeakably vulgar.

I agree there is nothing about using it as a verb, and you seem to have a prescriptivist view of language which is tiresome.

Not so much. What I have are opinions, some of them aesthetic opinions. What is tiresome is hearing, yet again, someone’s opinions being disqualified by being lazily classified as “presciptivist”, as if that decides the matter.

Uninformed whining about the aesthetics of terms of art is obnoxious.

Probably more irrelevant than obnoxious. Is there a term of art under discussion here?

It would be interesting to root cause your opinions on the vulgarity of terms of art, in an effort to demise the inner turmoil that it apparently creates for you.

Root cause as a verb is common in every engineering group I’ve ever worked in. That doesn’t strike me as odd at all, though I haven’t heard it outside of a professional engineering setting. No opinion on demise as a verb.

Me neither. What you mean, redbluered?

I’m bored with AI posts so I made a tool to automate some of the censorship for me: https://hn-ai.org/

Wow, me too. Maybe more like 1982.

“my emails are just not delivered anymore. I might as well not have an email server.”

FUD. I and many others on HN run our own email servers with essentially no delivery problems.

Really? How did you manage to get past the Outlook blocks? Those were always the problematic ones for me.

After setting up dkim, dmarc, etc. I've had no problems in the past decade except for one person using aol. I told him that his email was broken and if he wanted to receive my email he needed to fix it. I don’t count such things as deliverabilty problems, but as receivability problems on the other end.

I’ve never sent any kind of bulk email and I suppose my host has a good IP. Everything I do depends critically on email deliverability, often to addresses I’ve never sent to before, so if I had a problem I would certainly know about it.

“I miss what HN was before Ai and LLMs started dominating everything!”

This might be your solution:

Better, but the very first link I'm given is "Coursera to Combine with Udemy to Empower the Global Workforce with Skills for the AI Era" ^^

I was thinking couldn't you just filter the AI stuff out. It normally seems to be less than 20% of items.

https://hn-ai.org/ features a quality index showing how much had to be filtered out.
