Yeah, with a CV strip the Mean Wells with CC dimming have an abrupt shutoff at low brightness - maybe 5% (I haven't measured it), and a brief flash upon increasing brightness just …

Mean Well has some constant current dimmable 24v power supplies with zero flicker. You'd need 2 if you want each strip to be independently controllable. They also can take a PWM si…

Can you think of a scenario where a well-intentioned organization doesn't realize they're sending some unwanted mail, and by looking at the right metrics they realize they have a p…

Speaking from quite a bit of experience, content can matter at Gmail if it's very obviously malicious/spammy, but not usually otherwise. Metrics matter more than content at gmail. …

I deal with email at global scale, and yes, you're a fringe case. There are many billions of messages sent every day which have lots of links, and which recipients in general are i…

You're correct that a lot of senders have no idea when they're sending unwanted email, and that unwanted email is well within the realm of possibility here. But don't assume DOI is…

Gmail is subject to specific targeting by spammers in a way that fastmail is not. The returns for spending weeks or months finding a niche way through Gmail's filters are justified…

Prefect, dagster, or maybe one could argue google cloud composer is different enough from vanilla airflow that it earns a spot on this list? But you're right, Airflow is still the …

Another comment suggested an extra rinse cycle.

It's not the only ambiguous wording in the post; the math doesn't add up here. It's probably a peak of 254 million/hr. "during Black Friday processed a whopping 254 million emails …

Table S3 here[1] starting on page 9 appears to show nearly 80 different genuses within stool samples after filtering out "vegetative (non–spore form) bacteria, fungi, parasites, an…

It's not quite clear if this is cultivated or not but I know this MD was working on cultivation at one point. "SER-109 is composed of approximately 50 species of Firmicutes spores …

Diet alone can't restore strains that don't exist in a patient's microbiome.

Yes, it's clear Gordon has applied a mastering limiter to the tracks he delivered to Bethesda, and given that the style of the music involves heavy processing/effects and multiple …

Now, applying a mastering limiter to sub-tracks? Extremely novice mistake, and could be described as brickwalling. Certainly within the realm of possibility given the novice qualit…

"Brickwall" limiting is about very short-term transient compression; to oversimplify things, those limiters are operating at the timespan of 1-30 milliseconds, more or less. These …

You're making an extremely pedantic distinction, which is only correct in a purely technical sense. Which is the worst kind of correct. Yes, mastering engineers work from track-lev…

Delivering to gmail is unpredictable when you try to send from IP space with unmanaged or poorly-managed IP range reputation, like most low-cost VPSes or residential ISP IP space. …

Is it getting harder to self-host? Yes. Impossible? No. Most senders just find it easier to pay for it.

Exceptions to the rule do happen; I'm sorry your experience was the exception. Dealing with that kind of thing can be quite a pain if you're not experienced with it. But again: "If…

This is not my system, to be clear, but you might be surprised how little 20 years of data matters to filter accuracy, empirically speaking; recent sending behavior carries orders …

The overwhelming majority of legitimate mail will never see anything remotely near a 14-day block. Again, it's reserved for severe, ongoing, high-volume spam scenarios; ISPs use ot…

> "... small non-spam senders would congregate" Congratulations, you've invented the email service provider. Most small non-spam senders don't want to spend the time figuring out I…

As a practitioner, I can tell you that this proposal would be quite a bit behind state of the art for email spam filter accuracy. For example, there's a surprising amount of legiti…

I am not a Google employee, but I do work with email anti-spam at scale. There's a lot to critique here but it boils down to three points: 1. Spam filter behavior has changed becau…
