Europe? The entire continent? The continent that includes large swaths of Russia?

I give up, I don't even know what you're trying to imply here. That somehow Texas (a state, in a country, in a continent) burns less coal than an entire continent? And...?


Maybe think about this for a bit


It also misses one of the biggest fundamental problems with SMTP: Lack of per-recipient replies. Though you could potentially mandate a single recipient per request. We wrote a plugin to emulate that in Haraka, where you just 400 (temp fail) each subsequent recipient. The downside is some sources just plain don't retry.


LMTP is a small modification of SMTP with a per-recipient response code - but I'm not sure what it's intended for. It isn't used on the internet. It's sometimes used as IPC within a mail server.


LMTP is for delivering to an IMAP (or JMAP) mailbox, generally. We also have a plugin for that. But it has certain flaws for exposing it to the internet (I just forget what they are right now).


There's no such thing as an IMAP mailbox. Mail receiving is split down the middle. Your SMTP server stores the email in a folder and your IMAP server provides access to that folder.


That's not how things work at all.

For context, I'm the author of Haraka, a popular open source SMTP server.

SMTP servers don't necessarily store anything. They have two responsibilities: Receiving and delivering email. What they do with the emails they receive is up to the configuration.


That's the idea, it's very much for non-developers.


I really like this space. I prototyped a concept last year for product/qa teams to write the tests, I was able to run Playwright in a docker container and stream the session to the browser using VNC and web sockets to extract the test recorder and relay commands, allowing the user to run Playwright and record tests without needing anything installed.

It was a lot of fun, but what turned me off it was the likelihood anyone not already using Playwright would have to update their frontend and keep streamlining that before they really got any value out of it.

Yeah my big thing was this needed to be local, because I want to test against localhost, so rather than a web app, a desktop app made sense. I'd like to build in some sort of team features to it, so that you can collaborate with other people.

This was only my second desktop app ever, my first being a DVD burning app for the Mac, so you can guess how long ago that was!


It doesn't interact with your code at all (yet). The tests are in English, so mostly it's not designed for developers.

It's an interesting idea, but currently other apps are way better setup to scan code (like vscode and claude code). What I have done is ask claude to scan the codebase and generate a full series of English language tests in a markdown file. Would be good to ingest that, but for now I'm just using cut and paste.


I knew Aaron back in my IRC days. He hung out with us to talk about RDF for a good couple of years. We chatted almost every day.

He was lovely. And a genius. Maybe he changed, but he was a truly nice person.


Yeah, definitely not a statement on Aaron himself. More a statement on idolizing people. There will always be instances where they didn't live up to what people think of them as. I think Aaron was fine and a normal human being.


I mean the parent said OpenAPI + JSON Schema, not JSON Schema alone. OpenAPI has a ton of generators that are tweakable in the extreme.


It's indexable, so just fine: https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector#indexing


You just described Haraka.


I used to work in anti spam and we would call these FUSSPs.

TL;DR: Thousands of brilliant minds have tried to fix email for decades, and realized it can't be done!

Ahem, I'm trying to bury email, not save it -- not unlike Slack :-)


I really hope you re-evaluate this comment. You italicized “giving”, I assume to imply something. This man was clearly a monster, and I don’t need a court to tell me that.


The implication I assume is that his money including this donation was not earned via child prostitution and was not as such inherently dirty or tainted.

It'd be an even worse look if MIT was directly using money earned from child abuse.
