A bit of a sidenote but: what is a gmail alternative that really works? For instance, spam handling is worse in pretty much any alternative I've tried.

I'm interested in EU-based products first. But they need to handle spam well!

I recommrnd Fastmail! Switched to them like 3 years ago. They Are perfect for me. I use masker emails for my domain so i never get spam

It's hard to judge but for me Fastmail seems to be pretty great at detecting spam, at least it always ends up in my Spam folder. False positives are pretty regular, so far never actual human written emails though, only newsletters, but still. Overall for me a set and happily forget kind of service. Support is decent too.

My company used to be on Fastmail. Spam was definitely a problem. It's not EU based either if that matters (although the relevant servers may be).

I'm a happy user of Fastmail. It's a paid service (€5 per month) but that comes with higher standards. The webmail has been pretty good. Barely any spam to speak of (once a week?), even though I have various email addresses in public places.

Another satisfied Fastmail user. We don't pay a great deal for it and the service has been very good. Be the customer, not the product.

Protonmail works in the sense that I can receive and send emails, it's always up when I need it. I don't know how much of the spam is not arriving or being filtered.

Do you have any deliverability issues when sending mails? I find Protonmail interesting and I like the clean UI, but I worry my mails may end up in recipients' spam folder more often.

I haven't had problems with proton domains (i mostly use pm.me) but i also registered my personal domain to be handled by proton and that works well

Not the original poster. I use all three Proton domains (pm.me, proton.me, protonmail.com) and haven't had an issue so far.

I have not had any issues so far.

How do you defined "handling spam well"? What problem did you have with the alternatives you've tried?

They definitely do have regular false positives for me, marking something as spam that isn't. Never personal email though.

I use Apple's hosted domain service, which is included in the price of Apple One we were already paying for. It's been surprisingly great since I switched my domains to it.

mxroute is pretty good with their spam handling

Soverin

Overall, it's not widely used nor pushed (blue green deployments are now very common), but it still has interesting uses.

For instance, very high availability without blue-green (using a front-end that can be hot-patched), or... musical endeavors (such as live reloading code that generates music, on the go) https://youtu.be/_VgcUatTilU?si=DDfe4FN3Nw9OzRhF&t=122

We have mutable default arguments in Python (https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/gotchas/#mutable-defau...), by default too, though.

Not if they are strings, which is what this article is about.

I came across https://tuta.com/ which looks interesting.

Yeah, I'll use Tuta if I want an email service that I can't use IMAP with, and then I still have to find a replacement for the 95% of other services Google Workplace offers.

I use Tuta, quite happy with it. The app is available on F-Droid, and I can sync contacts to my phone, which is very convenient.

Sure, it does not have everything Google has, but I mainly need Mail and Calendar, and for this it’s great. They are also working on a Drive.

It is worth a fair bit. If you control the mirroring you can ensure the malware is flagged but not deleted, so forensics can assess how much damage has been done or would have been done, for instance.

This is true in general but only until it gets false.

For instance, Elixir supports compilation targeting GPUs (within exactly the same language, not a fork).

Most languages do not allow that (and for most it would be fairly hard to implement).

We don’t hate our Rafales, submarines and nukes at the moment though!

One possibility for production use (in case there is a big value) is to split the nodes into one "front" node which requires strong uptime, and a "worker" node which is designed to support rare crashes gracefully, in a way that does not impact the front.

This is what we use at https://transport.data.gouv.fr/ (the French National Access Point for transportation data - more background at https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2021/11/10/embracing-open-data-...).

Note that we're not using Pythonx, but running some memory hungry processes which can sometime take the worker node down.

A bit less innovation-ish but with large concrete impacts https://commission.europa.eu/news/eu-common-charger-rules-po...

Another move that seems at a glance to foster innovation, not remove it. Just like having a common standard like PCI helped innovation in desktop computers, making sure companies use a standard charging connection could have the same effect.

Good point. Someone shared this in case someone wonders:

> I’ve spent some time understanding how to do hot code reloading with releases built using mix release, and here I’d like to detail the steps needed, in hopes that it will help someone.
