You can do that in FastMail (web UI or mobile app). It supports multiple domains too.

Re:Firefox Public Data Report on Monday May 10, 2021 @09:17AM (#27105644)
From Mitchell Baker's Wikipedia page:

"In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008.[14] On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."[15]

By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic."

There is no incentive to do so.

Re:Ask HN: Laptop for FreeBSD? on Tuesday February 03, 2015 @05:22PM (#8993887)
I got a Thinkpad X230 for the exact same purpose. It doesn't have the nice screen but takes two SSDs and 16GB of RAM.

I installed FreeBSD on it last night and apparently everything was detected and seems to be working fine.

The FreeBSD wiki has a Laptops page: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops

Re:Letting Employees Work Remotely Pays Off on Saturday September 29, 2012 @10:17PM (#4591716)
I have only worked remotely in my career (as in by myself inside a home office), and I have worked in full remote as well as in mixed local/remote teams.

If you are in a position to choose/offer to work remotely, make sure that everyone you have to interact with is communicating in the same way, at least for work stuff. If half of your team is in an office and they aren't making an effort to communicate equally with the both local and remote team members, it will not work well. Having a remote team means an overhead in the communication for the local team.

Anyways, here is a great collection of resources on working remotely: http://www.wideteams.com/

"we produced a video that simulates what we will be able to deliver with OIS"

So I'm going to build a crappy car, demo it using a Ferrari engine and tell I was trying to simulate the engine feature in my car. Doesn't sound like an apology to me.

Re:Testing like the TSA on Wednesday April 11, 2012 @01:59PM (#3828760)
100% agreed. Rails people have started to complain about difficult/slow tests because Rails (a framework, not a library) makes your life hard. From my own experience, you don't need all the Rails magic to get started on a project, and once you do, it just happens to be a completely different magic that you need.

Hence I try to divide my projects into lots of application agnostic code (the libraries that need to be unit tested), and little application specific code (the glue code that needs to be integration tested).

Re:This is Why You Spent All that Time Learning to Program on Tuesday April 03, 2012 @10:53AM (#3793146)
You can remedy that by ditching whatever framework you use, and writing your applications at a lower level. From my experience, it is not going to be easy but the final result will be a lot simpler (and you will have lots of fun). Also, you will notice that far fewer patterns emerge than your framework try to impose on you.

Re:Why Noir doesn't have controllers on Tuesday November 29, 2011 @09:42AM (#3290452)
Can you elaborate on this? I'm mostly curious because I have used Sinatra, and I am starting to look at both Noir and Compojure.

Elance works fine for Ruby work, and most of the time you can get better hourly rates than your typical full time job in the US. I think having a US flag in your profile also helps a lot.

Re:Clojure's Webframework "Noir" hits 1.2.0 on Sunday October 02, 2011 @05:21PM (#3064059)
I don't think there's an equivalent framework (fortunately), but there is Compojure (https://github.com/weavejester/compojure) which is similar to Sinatra.
