> However, we notice – based on the social comments and international media coverage - that for many guests this period is 'the most wonderful time of the year'.

Cringe. I suspect the same people who needed social comments and international media coverage to figure out that Christmas might actually be a nice time for some people are the ones who decided that video was appropriate in content and aesthetics. Also, that quote reads a bit like a machine desperately trying to understand humans.

I‘m following this scheme for years now and frankly never found a site that only accepts selected providers.

A lot of asian genai startups are pretty picky and want emails from bigger providers. kling, qwen, hunyuan just to name a few.

Just create a gmail account specifically for it if that's the case.

AliExpress is one of them, as far as I know

AliExpress uses my custom domain, but wouldn't accept anything with "aliexpress" in the local part.

Correct, so I used "aliexpres" instead, which works.

Same experience, but a different perception. I’ve always found it to be a great conversation starter when I did this with my business domain. Of course, it’s mainly about spam control, but some people even felt flattered to have their own personal email address. Then there was that one time I tried to open a new bank account using bankname@mydomain - it ended up involving three levels of management. On the bright side, though, they now greet me by name whenever I walk into the building.

I think having a mail just seperately for bank can be good thing instead of having it on your own @mydomain I suppose?

Also can we have things like 2FA in banking apps? I am pretty sure...

Like my idea of thinking is to create a new proton account just for banking and doing the thing as in the article and not really ever linking the two of them or maybe even having a google account if proton causes any issue for my banks.

I’m curious what tools that may be.

It’s Gemini for what it’s worth

I’m sorry, but could someone please elaborate on the significance of this post?

Sneakers is a very popular movie in the HN community. It's a great movie, well written, well cast, well acted, suspenseful, interesting, funny.

It beautifully captures the golden age.

BTW the writers also previously wrote WarGames, and you can see a lot of the same fingerprints...

Hacker culture.

> The replacement will affect more than a hundred utilities that are part of Coreutils

…

> Last week, the issue of the package uutils coreutils 0.0.30 successfully passed 507 tests (in the last issue of 506, in a year old – 476) from the standard GNU Coreutils test set.

If I’m reading this right then there are on average only one to five tests per utility (like cat, dd, …) which is a shockingly low number. Particularly when you consider how many options a single command alone might accept. And of course, this alone would not even remotely cover a critical part of all the circumstances that might vary.

Many of those were written in 80s, testing was not a thing.

Yes, I remember. It still shows me how I overestimated the maintenance work distributors do / can do. My unreflected expectation was that in the past 40 years test were developed to secure the very foundation we keep on building on since then.

Also suspended is not removed.

I assume there is some kind of divide and conquer going on.

If there'd just be an alternative to claude code...
