> If I'm on a site with weird requirements I'd have to figure out the params to make pass generate a password which matched it; with the extension I just click a few buttons.

How does this work? I don't suppose there's a micro format for password requirements? Does 1password just have a database of password formats for popular websites?
The sandbox style of game is your ticket to bliss then. Wandering through London in Assassin's Creed Unity. Climbing mountains in Skyrim. Traversing the landscape with a grapple/parachute in Just Cause. Plundering the high seas in Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Exploring Mordor in Shadows of Mordor. Driving through the city and countryside in Need for Speed. Flying the endless black in Elite Dangerous.

There are frequently scripted introductory sequences to familiarize you with the mechanics and attempt to hook you with a story, but they will consume your time but once, and can provide you with hundreds of hours of entertainment and escape thereafter.

Of course, if driving is your thing, there are a ton of racing simulators out there, from F1 to rally cars.
It would appear to be cryptographically pretty much identically secure as using a single password on all sites, if someone knows who they are targeting and what website. And less secure than having two passwords, your regular one and your Super Sekrit one for Amazon and the bank.
If people are using that much for web dev, it scares me, because I don't know if the websites they're building will be useable on a modest machine.
The problem is deeper than Gobbledygook - Economics is just kind of complicated and sometimes counterintuitive when you get into it regardless of the language.

Things like that in a recession it is sensible for individuals to cut spending but it can make sense for the government to borrow and run deficits just go past most people. I'm not quite sure what the answer is.
In 2012, Apple announced the new rMB with new intel CPUs which weren't released yet for PC. Now, 1/10 of PCs has Kaby Lake and Apple introduce new MacBooks with previous generation. I don't see how this is not fail compared to 2012.
I'm sad to see the glowing logo go. That was a defining element of MacBooks for me. Visually speaking, nothing really differentiates MacBooks from their Samsung/Dell/etc clones anymore.
The GP's points are all a bit weak, especially if this method uses a good KDF like bcrypt to generate the keys.

I used SuperGenPass for a while, before switching to KeePass, and the major drawbacks I found were:

1) No way to change a password. None at all. If a site required you to make up a new password, you're out of luck (or you have to come up with a new master password every time and remember which master password to use for which site).

2) If a website is incompatible with the generated password, you're out of luck. My bank (because of course it would be the bank, cat sharing websites are more secure) would throw a fit because I had a number in my password and refuse to set it.

3) If someone has a keylogger or otherwise steals your master password, you're done for everywhere. This is not so with password databases, because the attacker also needs the file.

4) It's just not really that much more convenient than KeePass + KeePassAndroid. Hell, the latter is more convenient because I don't have to keep retyping my password, I can store it in memory protected by my fingerprint, which is something that no SuperGenPass-compatible app I've found does.

In summary: Go with KeePass, it's better.
As someone pointed out above, the problem with this argument is that the password becomes cipher text. That means that each time it is gathered by an attacker it gets easier to compromise. For most of us, this is not an issue because there is so much low hanging fruit. For some -- say a celebrity or person of public interest -- this could be a serious problem as they are already the target of a focused effort.
As an ex-cisco employee I can say with absolute certainty that I will view any large company which "cuts deep and cuts once" with deep suspicion and paranoia, and with bad memories.
It does make you wonder if an actual pro book will ever be released.
The VPU is getting there: http://free-electrons.com/blog/support-for-the-allwinner-vpu...

"Currently, the combination of the kernel driver and VA-API backend supports MPEG2 and MPEG4 decoding only. There is for the moment no support for encoding, and no support for H264, though we believe support for both aspects can be added within the architecture of the existing driver and VA-API backend."
I find it amusing that you list "no glowing apple logo" as a downside. That's pretty much the only good part about the new MacBook Pro in my book. Besides being obnoxious (which is admittedly subjective), it lets light through in both directions. So when you have a strong enough light source in front of you, you can see a ghostly Apple logo in the middle of your screen. Chime too, I had to manually disable it on the my old MBP, why would anyone want that is beyond me.
What I needed to do was to place e.g. a N byte struct exactly on an M byte alignment (e.g. 11 byte struct on 32 byte alignment etc).
some games have depth and a compelling enough story to keep you wanting for more. e.g. for me that is the Mass Effect series. The graphics you could say are not that great by 2016 standards but the amount of work that went into the story and universe building for that game kept me occupied. I spent hours probably reading the codex about different species and events in the Mass Effect universe, it was similar to reading a fantasy/scifi book like Dune. It wasn't the graphics, it wasn't the amazing gameplay, it was just a good entertaining story and great universe building that made the game.
There have been at least four in the last five years (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QT-vg7OHHhO9VvSHpgo7...).

There are many more notable bootstrapped exits, e.g. Mojang/Minecraft.

Lots of bootstrapped companies that could IPO, e.g. Mailchimp

And many other examples of companies that took very little money making their founders richer than comparable funded founders. E.g. Each of the founders of Wayfair made more than EVERYONE involved in the sale of Zappos.
That would be the translator's fault (unless you can read Renaissance Latin -- which is not quite the the same as classical Latin).

It seems like relatively fewer kids today are getting immersed in the worlds of Zelda and long RPG games. I certainly agree that lack of attention span has something to do with it.

People have very different fantasy lives. Some people have fantasy lives that revolve around social relationships. Others have fantasy lives that revolve around power-tripping and murder-hoboing. But I suspect that the former are actually much more common than the latter.

It's a fantasy life because it is not actually reality! I always wondered why people play Guitar Hero when they could just practice the guitar instead. But playing the guitar is hard and takes a lot of work, a huge investment of time. Social relationships are hard, too, and if you screw them up it can wreck your life. Establishing a social identity takes a lot of care. Who wouldn't want a fantasy social life to experiment with different identities and kinds of relationships?

My point is that different people will enjoy different kinds of games, which is fine, and should be fun. This was an article about why the author's friends didn't enjoy many video games. And it's hard to use yourself as the yardstick of other people's preferences.
Asus also has a big presence there now, but the prices are a lot more than US pricing for the same stuff.

The same Asus stuff or other brands?

I live in Spain and although I haven't looked recently, Asus was the best quality-price relation here. In particular, batteries duration similar to macs, for half the money. If I needed a laptop now, I would see their offer first for sure.

Time ago, I read that Asus doesn't sell in the USA, what explained how little comments I saw in specialized webs about their laptops.
Eh, the UX doesn't look great compared to my current solution (KeePass). No browser integration or auto-type, no InputStick support on mobile, etc.

YubiKey support looks pretty nice though; I'm not sure there's an easy way to do what with KeePass.
> personally doubt a wealthy person would use that bank and yet they seem to think their customers are pissing gold.

Actually they give a decent interest rate (relative to the competition) of 3% on the first £3,000[0] so I know a few people who have multiple accounts with them just to reap the interest.

agree - I'm ready to let go of the chime and lit logo.

But the rest of the points the OP/article made are spot on; this isn't a Pro machine.
C++ still drives you very strongly in certain directions for the things you mentioned.

Languages have to hand you very strong default choices for those things, because only the people with the hardest problems and the most time to solve them can afford to pick up a toolbox-box and build their own toolbox to solve a problem. Even the languages that arguably want to be that low of a level like Rust or D still have to offer a much more batteries-included standard library that will make more of those choices for you, and which will be for the vast majority of users the "real" version of that language.
Are you kidding me? I know it comes from the ancient Egyptians. That's not a fix, that's an explanation and it's an explanation that makes it even worse. It's the equivalent of a conversation that goes like this:

A: Why do you guys have these weird variable names in your code that you touch every day?
B: Well, the company was started in the 70s by a bunch of Egyptians who named their variables in Egyptian.
A: But they are all gone now, right and nobody here speaks Egyptian anymore?
B: Yeah.
A: Why did you never rename it? This stuff makes it really hard to ramp up.
B: *shrug*

Only that this happened 2000+ years ago! Plenty of time to refactor that shit. It's even worse if you look at the purposefully broken month names. September to December are named "7th" to "10th". However, some arrogant pricks decided to inject their own names as months in between and couldn't even bother fixing the months whose names they now broke. And nobody bothered in the meantime to go back and fix it. It's 2000 years later and instead of fixing it we coerced most of mankind into using this obviously broken piece of crap.

EDIT: Formatting
> things that turns me off about modern games [...] too many unskippable cutscenes, forced tutorial levels, etc.

Perhaps in the AAA space but down in the more indie spaces, you don't get those. My current set of favourite games (Rocket League, Binding of Isaac, Risk Of Rain, Rogue Legacy, Delver) certainly don't have any of those.
> put a new screen on my laptop

What laptop do you have where the screen is upgradeable? Or are you talking about doing it with a standard laptop, opening it up and replacing the panel? Is that usually viable with laptops?

The main reason I prefer my current MBP to my previous Toshiba Portege is, tbh, that the screen is not a shitty 1360x768. I never even thought about replacing it.
Maybe try just

or similar. Carriage-return followed by ctrl-D to exit. Output matches echo "whatever" | md5sum | cut -d" " -f1 in my term.
I completely agree. What makes all of it even worse is that they only use 8192 iterations of PBKDF2, based on their blog post [1]. To counter GPU-based password cracking, 100,000+ iterations are needed as of 5 years ago [2].

With that new Windows Subsystem for Linux feature, I'm honestly starting to consider a post-Mac future for my dev work. I'm sure there are a bunch of things about Windows 10 that will annoy me, but the value proposition of Mac is starting to disappear as Microsoft does better and Apple does worse. If Apple didn't tie iOS dev to its own desktop OS, I might be taking Windows for a spin right now.

Bcrypt is not really a KDF, it's a strong hash generator + verification processor rolled into one for easy consumption.

So 1000 miles doesn't seem like a lot. That's like one roadtrip and your annual allowance is gone. I wonder what the small fee will be after that.

Also, I wonder how they will be tracking usage? In the car or the supercharger network? I would assume the supercharger network, but does that mean that when you plug in, your car sends a unique identifier? I'm curious how that all works.
Do you also look for places where you could fit schools, shopping, parks, etc.?

Sensible and sustainable growth needs to avoid tunnel-vision. But cities are so controlled by developers that they rarely want to take a systems view when rezoning land. In Palo Alto, they realized that there is no way they can build enough housing and schools to offset more office space, and that housing, especially rental housing, is impractical financially because of the crazy parcel tax system and Prop 13. In San Jose, they desperately want more commercial and retail because they have have too much housing and not enough businesses, which causes more congestion, as well as financial problems since taxes on housing don't pay for city services.

There are two policy changes needed at the state level:

1. Prop 13 should apply ONLY to owner-occupied residential housing. Owners of rental property and owners of commercial property will prevent this from ever happening in our lifetimes.

2. Parcel taxes should be assessed per housing unit, not per parcel. The CAA (California Apartment Association) has fought successfully against this.

What's happening now in Cupertino is a developer spending tens of million of dollars on ballot measure that bypasses the CEQA required EIR, so he can build 2 million square feet of Class A office space, and a few hundred luxury apartments. He'll make out like a bandit, and the city will be left to deal with the traffic, pollution, school impact, and future ABAG housing mandates. It's extremely short-sighted, but of course the developer doesn't care. It's the same developer being fined by Palo Alto for failing to fulfill a CBA (Community Benefits Agreement), the same developer responsible for the abandoned Sunnyvale Town Center, the same developer responsible for Mowry Crossing. These little suburban cities don't have the expertise to craft development agreements that can be enforced, and they get screwed every time. Look at Santa Clara and the Levi's stadium fiasco.
> banks don't seem to spend much time tracking down the criminals

I am curious how you come to this conclusion, given that banks are extremely reticent to discuss what security measure they take and to avoid any publicity about security breaches (even publicity about how they caught someone brings the problem back to the public's mind). So if they WERE being effective in tracking down the criminals, how would you know?
>If everyone is free trade, and nobody tries to cheat, then free trade is better for everyone.

...is precisely the justification the British made for exporting food from Ireland during the potato famine.

Well, they didn't exactly claim it was better for everybody but they claimed that it was a good pretext for letting the Irish starve while Ireland exported food.
What I don't understand is that the author IS a gamer. And a designer. She probably knows a lot about games. She can help her friends sift throught the sea of games and find some that appeal to them.

Thoughts on 'Docker in production'
I have been using Perl for more than twenty years. I remember installing Perl 5 because somebody had written the network monitoring tool "SATAN" in it. I have written some nasty code with it, and some pretty clean code. Relying on CPAN, I have saved myself and others just huge amounts of time and trouble.

These days I tend to use Python for new projects, because the young coders where I work are more accustomed to that. Now, if someone where to show up fresh out of school and sure that Perl 6 was the thing, I'd be open to trying that.
I agree that Electron apps can be slow. I think that has to do with the single thread event loop, which it is very easy to block when doing some heavy processing, if you don't think about it all the time. On the other hand Electron apps are very stable and I don't think I've ever had one segfault on me, like happens with a lot of native applications. It's still quite early in the world of Electron, so I can imagine speed will increase as people develop new techniques for writing better code for complex apps. Like VS Code probably did something right there.

You may want to aggressively filter the amount of emails you're going to index, then. It's not rare that people have inboxes bigger than 10Gb.

This is very interesting. the $79 price point is for the 2GB RAM model - and seems worthwhile with other accessories options provided.

The one concern I have with this board is that it ships in March 2017, which is getting very close to the next iteration of RPi4/Odroid C3, and that it opted for more LAN/WAN instead of adding more USB 2.0/3.0 Ports like the Odroid/RPI.

Many thanks for giving me something to heavily consider this next week for SBC projects though....
I don't think I am misunderstanding you. I think the question is what do the Linux maintainers want to achieve. Do they want to build the ideal OS for themselves or do they want to bring Linux to the masses? If they want to make the ideal system for themselves then they obviously should keep doing what they are doing. If the primary goal is to bring Linux to the masses than closed source will have to be embraced more.

I personally don't care much for myself right now, since the OS X laptop + Linux on the server is still working great for me.
Interesting. Note however there are storyless (or minimal story) single player games, and also single player games without an AI. No/minimal story: puzzle games, abstract games, board games, sandbox/exploration. No AI: adventures.

My Grandmother had a combo oven / microwave in the 80s. Sears model, I think. It was a full size oven and I believe it ran the microwave part off the 220 connection. The control panel was pretty complicated looking.

It suffered the inevitable result of TV/VCR or TV/DVD combo units where I don't remember which half burned out first but once one half broke it was time to buy two separated devices.
> This is really simple if you stop and look at the individual pieces: if you have free trade, but your trading partner uses the money they get from taxation to subsidize weak parts of their economy that you would normally have an advantage in, then you're going to lose that advantage when businesses in that area go bankrupt as they can no longer compete. Your trading partner can then move the subsidy to other businesses and repeat the process until they have destroyed all of your local business

I think this is one of those fearful arguments that doesnt really represent reality.

In argentina we export a lot to Brasil, and one thing we export is cars. Lets suppose that Brasil takes a protective policy and then uses heavy subsidizing to make car factories and then outcompete argentinian automotors, lets say the subsidy is so large that cars in Brazil cost half in every single aspect, in every niche and ever smaller car element(something impossible to cover in reality).

Yes, the car industry in argentina is toast, but now argentinians can get cars at half the price thanks to the generosity of the brazilian taxpayer. The argentinians have become enormously wealthier by such a measure at large.

Not only that but now argentinians as a whole have half a car extra in money to spend in other services and products, which means that a bunch of other industries will grow! Argentinians would become much richer.

Lets say that Brasil loved that result (i dont know why, because they hemorraged money like hell) and repeat that with every single product argentina builds.
IF every single product in argentina ,imported from brasil costed half, and it effectly replaces everything, it really means that Brasil is now giving argentina half the PBI of Argentina in subsidy. That is so unreasonable that it will never happen.

Theres another thought around this topic: that you can destroy an industry, and then increase your profits later on as a sort of monopoly power to recoupe the initial investment.
IT would never happen that way: the moment prices rise up, investors would flock again to the argentinian automotive industry and take those profits away.

What is clear is that brasil would be using its tax payers to give products to other countries!
