I've been using `pass` for the past few years (I wrote a post on setting it up on OSX which has been fairly popular [0]). However last month I switched to 1Password (I signed up to the family plan trial - I'm not set on it though).

The main thing I like about 1Password is the browser integration. It just makes life so much easier being able to click a button and have the password automatically entered into the form. I have a script ([1] - should be easy to adapt for this) which would poll Chrome for the current URL, decrypt or generate the password, and copy it to the clipboard - but clicking a button is a lot less friction.

1Password also has a xkcd-style password generator option, which is great for things like Netflix that you need to type in on TVs and such.

The main reason why I signed up for 1Password was so I could use it with my family, but the browser extensions only work on OS X 10.10+, so that rules out 2/3 family members (who run Windows 10 and OS X 10.6). You can access the passwords online, but it's no way near as user friendly. If anyone has a good recommendation of an alternative (I'd prefer open source), let me know!

Yes, I hear you. It's strange how OOP got completely bastardised by the industry - anyone know what the process for this was; in my head I'm tempted to blaim C++ and then Java but I think there are probably other culprits that led us away from the path to enlightenment :-)
I wonder how much litigation risk is involved with this. If you poach one key employee, the original company is likely to be a bit grumpy but probably won't do anything. If you poach an entire team, litigation may be worthwhile - especially if that team is their entire development staff (I've seen this happen in the UK insurance industry, cases go on for months and potentially involve millions of pounds).

Killing XUL is not a problem in itself, what's not clear is whether WebExtensions will support the same advanced features, and the goal of keeping compatibility with Chrome implies it won't.

I wish there was a way to get rid of these bullshit jobs. Also, I wish there was a way to make entertainment business such as singing, acting, and sports much much less profitable.
So, roughly a third of all issues are open. I think it would be nice if GitHub create a daily/weekly/monthly/annual "State of the Hub" kind of analysis for the entire ecosystem with drill downs and stuff.
Yep, ePacket is amazing.
I will be called a statist, but I think the software industry is really lacking regulations and quality standards.

I'm not a security guy, but I think most of the security flaws you find in software are caused by the lack of government approved security standards. I mean is there ISO stuff for software quality? And even if there is, I really don't think it's useful or that it tries hard enough.

Just look at healthcare.gov, I'm sure things would have been going much more smoothly if there was ISO rules.

Although it might be debatable if it's possible or wise to have such standards. But I would really appreciate it if important software like OS's had actual standards.

It seems that most of the stuff talked about in this article are just mistakes allowed by a permissive practices.
I don't think this is the same thing. If you want to hire the vast majority of people, it may well be easier to acquire the company. What happens if the other company is much bigger than you though? Stripe would never be able to buy Google, Microsoft, Apple etc., but they could potentially hire a small internal team from them.

Simple alternative: storing passwords in gpg encrypted files and using emacs.

Emacs has EasyPG so when you create a file with .gpg extension and try to save it prompts you for a password to encrypt this file with. Similarly if you open a .gpg file it asks you for a password for decrypting it. This way your only dependency is emacs and you can store passwords file wherever you like. And you don't expose names of sites you need passwords for.
I like GUI's not because I use the mouse (I don't), but because the terminal is sub-optimal for presenting information. Yes, it's very portable but I don't need that, I only use my editor locally and on OS X. I despise having to install custom fonts to hack special UI elements like Airline. I like the mini-view in Sublime. I like my UI to be able to show me little hints without necessary taking up an entire character.

I keep wanting to try out Spacemacs but I always revert to Vim but it's pretty far from perfect imo.
I assume that means you get a Denmark sort of price for your software. Yet you pay your developers a Bulgarian sort of wage.

I don't want to moralise, but in this case I don't see how I can avoid the conclusion that you're basically ripping them off. So I'll just stop here 'cause I don't like to moralise- but I'll just say that I'd never work under such conditions.
Thank you. This is perhaps the most succinct guide to marketing your skills I've read.
Because Netflix (or other companies) just simply do not have the resources to manage the duty of distributing content all over the world. Hence, there exists regional distributors. Allocating duties to those regional distributors means that you'll need to sign a contract that gives those distributors special rights.
I think Frenchgeek's joke was that closing one issue can introduce new bugs, resulting in a net increase of issues.
I wrote a full implementation of this version in Haskell as part of my dissertation [0]. I'm linking to a specific commit because in the coming month, I will be modifying it to introduce structural type inference (so that what would typically be considered a data type declaration can also be inferred).

And there's a big probability that they never will.

Still I like to look at an imaginary drawing of something rather than at nothing.

At least not in this lifetime.
Well, it's not like it'll just stop working. I'm still using Alpine, despite the main dev team having abandoned a decade ago.
Oh, I forgot to mention the ever-shrinking attention span. Our lives become fuller and fuller of distractions and interruptions. With the increasing load of notifications, alerts, and news feed updates, we can't really concentrate and grasp hard concepts. And we, the people involved in startups and being behind these distractions, are eating our own dogfood and suffering from the same evil.

Failure to compete in high-tech areas (when was the last time you got a mobile phone made in Japan)

Which is funny because Japan was very strong in the modern days of computing and videogames. What happened? My guess is that software got more complex and their vertical way of working is not productive for the complexity expected today
I haven't had a gas bill from them in 5 months because their system wouldn't let me put in my gas readings. I had to go through a painful 40 day complaints process to get anyone to put them on the account. Never heard back from anyone. Eventually someone on their twitter feed was able to fix it over the course of a day, but of course it will be 3 months before their system generates a bill from the new figures. I've had plenty of ASP.NET "error occurred in the application" pages too so clearly they aren't building their site in Release mode. Overall, best described as a clusterfuck.
There are at least two serious criticisms of free trade that I can think of that are not addressed in this article:

1. Borrowing from Taleb's latest book, free trade encourages economic fragility. A country that specializes in textiles will be completely ruined when textile manufacturing is automated. Further, this level of specialization may crowd out other opportunities for growth and suppress the evolution of an economy towards even more productive exports by suppressing variability.

2. It is possible, as we are seeing in the US to some extent, that the comparative advantages that a country may have simply don't need to employ very many people. In the case of the United States, some of our biggest exports are tech and finance, and those industries simply cannot support massive employment on the scale necessary to give everyone a job.

I'd be curious to hear any counter-arguments to these ideas.
Yea I've spent tons of time in China, and worked with a number of these ODM type companies and smaller factories, and the kinds of things they can get done in short times for small amounts of money is pretty amazing.. Basically why its so hard not to manufacture in china is because of the "factory engineering plus" kind of model. Basically you get low cost engineering work done by the factory to modify your plastic tool, tweak your PCB design, build test fixtures, setup test station software, etc.. Basically one person who knows what they are doing can essentially give a detailed list of instructions to a factory in china and they will just "make it happen" for a really good price.. Since there are so few factories in the US anymore, there are no engineers that work for the factories, so there are very few companies that offer engineering work for low cost, whereas in China the actual factory work pays for the salaries of the engineers. So, its hard to compete with that..

Well Logstash can output data into Kafka or ElasticSearch. So you could for example transform logs to json or do simple text processing in Logstash and put it to ElasticSearch for logsearching but you can also put it in Kafka and then have a stream parsing with all sorts of tools like Flink, Spark, etc.
You could then have the possibility do so some realtime analysis on what the user do all over your stack. Too many "Login Failed" events and maybe you have an attacker trying to bruteforce a passsword and maybe you need to present him with a captcha screen.
Japan has SERIOUS issues with NIH syndrome. They were on the cutting edge of technology when they led it. Not so much when it would require adoption from American and Chinese suppliers and service exporters.
Real estate, insurance, utilities, it all adds up. The living wage in many cities is at least 10/hr. Which means that just to pay for basics you need to get $1600 per month as a single individual. When they talk of basic income they never talk about money like that, usually around $700, just around poverty level.

Same. When I was just starting to learn about type systems, I found it very useful to have the concepts explained alongside an implementation, to see how they fit together. I don’t think I’ve ever gone so quickly from “I have no idea how this works” to “I could write this from memory” as I did when following that tutorial.
Check out Red Hat's Openshift Online [1] if you haven't already. They offer 3 Gears for free, each with 512 MB Ram, 1 GB Disk space (install e.g Postgres into one gear and you have a DB with 1 GB) and you can use Lets Encrypt with their Bronze plan (which is free if you only use the 3 free gears). Depending on what your hobby sites do this could be enough.

>I don't understand why people need a GUI to edit text

Because I rarely want to just "edit text" - >50% of the time I want to have a visual representation of the file tree with colored/graphical icons, drag & drop, etc.

A significant part of programming is organizing and exploring trough things, especially in huge code bases - GUI hands down beats any text based solution I've seen. This is also why I still won't use VS code as my go-to editor - no file icons - when I have a file tree with hundreds of nodes icons are the best way to find the stuff I'm looking for.

I don't buy your second point. Your argument is that an attacker can try the password elsewhere faster, when the list of sites an attacker is interested in is small. An attacker could try every site in the Alexa 1m before anyone knows the sites passwords were dumped anyways.
Most software problems I encounter in the real world ARE of bounded complexity, and they can be reduced to software verification. But this is still a very tedious process and there are significant gains to be had by making this more accessible without having to solve the hardest problem in computer science.

It's interesting that the author equates "Japan has very high labor force participation and low unemployment." with "No laziness or idleness here."

The Japanese workplace culture of the 'sarariman' who spends 14+ hours a day in the office, achieving almost nothing, is legendary.
I use the mouse as little as physically possible, so I use a tiling window manager with nice keybindings. I usually only have a terminal and Firefox (vimperator) open, both of which don't require mouse usage. So, I don't get the idea of having a graphical text editor when you can just use one in the terminal (and you get the benefits of portability and working on something over SSH for free -- and no, X11 forwarding isn't a substitute).

The mouse is never as powerful as vim commands. ;)

That's not really "text editing" anymore. Also, if the "links" are remote objects (like URLs), that sounds like a whole heap of privacy and security issues.

Japan has so many of these depressingly useless jobs - drive past any quiet street construction site at night and you'll see 3-5 people whose sole job it is to wave a light stick. The job isn't needed at all, the guy who does it makes peanuts, but that's what drives up labor force participation.
I had the same exact thought. Don't dress up bad news in corporatese, just rip the band-aid off and speak plainly.
The problem with entertainement isn't that it's too profitable, it's that the top earner are taking a huge part of the pie while the majority is fighting for crumbs. It's easy to see the few soccer stars making millions by the dozen, but there are way more people playing soccer professionally that are barely getting by.
Learnings of a rare case of virality-turned sustainable business
"The survey compared the incomes of the bottom 10 percent of households with children to the average income of 41 countries who are members of the OECD or the European Union.

The income gap in Japan was found to be 60.21 percent, meaning the household income of the nation’s most underprivileged families with children was less than 40 percent of the average."

I'm not sure how to read this. Income gap be damned, what is the minimum livable income? There's a difference between being poor relative to one's peers and being too poor to afford housing / food / education.

I live in Tokyo at the moment. My experience (as a single person without kids) is that if one wanted to live frugal but happy-go-lucky life it could be done quite cheaply.

"The income of the poorest fell from about ¥902,500 to ¥840,000 during the same period, according to data compiled by Abe of Tokyo Metropolitan University"

So there are some numbers, but what is the cost of living and where? Moving from Tokyo to Osaka would probably cut my living expenses by 50% or more. What about living in a smaller Japanese town?

The cost of living disparity between major urban areas and rest of Japan is probably gigantic.

> Is there some reason to believe that with enough money software could be bug-free?

Yes. It's pretty easy to write provably correct software, just expensive.

> Developers are often guilty of just refactoring for no particularly good reason other than their personal sense of aesthetic, which can lead to endless (and destructive) refactoring

Not my experience, but even if so, if you require your software to be proven correct then it won't matter - any refactor that breaks it simply won't be accepted.

> More money also makes people design lazy, so that instead of finding clever ways to reduce effort and improve uniformity, you just have everyone make their own forms.

Um what? What does this have to do with anything?
Yes, it always was a neat gimmick, but in practice, using two ten-sided dice was a far superior approach. d30s were bad enough, but at least with them simulating (e.g. with a d6 and d10) wasn't as intuitive.
Mobile payment companies payleven and SumUp join forces
A trick question. Theoretically, I don't know.

Pragmatically, though, it is not a big deal. Here in Switzerland, I am content to pay 2x price for the same content as in the US — we have to support our reputation as the most expensive country on Earth, after all :) In India, one can attempt to sell software and content for the same price as in US, but it won't generate any sales. The pragmatic option is to sell Indian-localized software for low price, and English versions for original price, which is already working perfectly well for software and everyone is happy. Both me and an Indian girl can buy any US-made software. At least it was possible when the software was downloaded or delivered physically — software in app stores are becoming subject to the same shitty policies as the rest of digital content.

The world is becoming increasingly global, but policymakers and copyright holders try to isolate us in nation state borders.
Nonsense. We're in the software industry. We can use tools, and if the tools aren't good enough we can make our own. Writing correct software isn't a matter of talent, it's a matter of process.
