Is there anything automatic out there? I'm not going to use program+dropbox/cloud-provider. I need something like lastpass.

Don't suppose there's anything out there that can import the lastpass db?
Laws should evolve to serve the people. If monsters like this are allowed to say, 'But it's legal,' it should not be legal. People like Nix are much worse than some racist frat boys, but I'm reminded of this:

"The way we interpret the First Amendment need not be simplistic and empty of nuance, and was not always so. The Supreme Court unanimously held over eighty years ago that “those words which by their very utterance inflict injury … are no essential part of any exposition of ideas.” And in 1952 the Court upheld an Illinois statute punishing “false or malicious defamation of racial and religious groups.” These rulings, while never officially reversed, have shrunk to historical trinkets. But they mark a range of the possible, where one can be a staunch defender of full-throated discourse but still recognize the difference between dialogue and vomitus."

Really ancient web developers know that Javascript adds hardly anything to most web pages. Some HTML, CSS, a few iframes (or just frames!) and form POST, and you've got a web site that's faster than most of today's junk.

I think my reaction to modern Javascript is to just ... don't.
> "It's one thing to support laws and regulations that happen to benefit Trump,"

But these left-leaning people claim they want to help the working class and others and are worried about inequality, yet they are the major cause of the inequality by making housing unaffordable through rent-seeking which benefits President Trump instead. In other words, they say one thing that they are for addressing the ills of inequality and instead support a policy that creates more inequality and benefits the very wealthy whom, in words only but not in deeds, criticize.

If they truly cared about inequality as they claim, they would reverse the unfair rent-seeking zoning density restriction laws.
1Password has a lot more features than the default Keychain, smarter autofill to begin with. If that's worth it to you that depends on which features of 1Password you'd use.
I used it (1P) and it was super, but mac only - no Linux client. Just switched over to Enpass, and its very like 1Password, only they do provide a linux client. So far its great, very happy with it.
How does that differ from saying the same thing about say webpack -- ie, "the build is documented in the webpack config"?

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm getting out of the article... the problem is I still have no idea what that scale is, do you? I'm sure the term 'supersonic' was meant to impress and sound fast, but there's at least an order of magnitude uncertainty.

If constructive criticism was your intent, it would have been constructive to make that intent explicit.

Especially in written communication, if one wants to provide constructive criticism (as opposed to criticism which is indifferent or just being critical to be critical), then it is important to signal that somehow. Possibly with words ;)

Of course not signaling that doesn't preclude the receiver of said criticism from using your critique constructively, but, imho, considering the minimal time needed to say something like "This is intended to be constructive criticism," and that doing so is not some sort of "happy-good-energy-no problems" use of language at all (your critique can still be as vigorous as desired), imho, there is no good reason not to and many good reasons (never knowing where the other person on the internet is coming from, improving one's own communication skills, increased explicitness, etc) to do so.
In normal human terms, yes, but 3B is only .08% of the federal budget.

There is no productive half in this country as most of those ridiculous barbaric restrictions have rendered women to be completely useless than having sex and producing babies.

Without that reserve of Oil Saudi would have been a complete shit-hole which any civilized person would avoid. Part of the reason why I want Musk and other people to succeed in killing the Oil industry by giving us better alternative fuels.

I think your intention is good - and I agree we should put in modern fiber.

But only a small percentage of fiber put on long routes uses single wavelengths. Most fiber going more than 5-10km uses DWDM and that is indeed an important place to put in modern fiber.

However, most of the railway routes in 1998 used fiber that supported 32*40G lambdas, so the problem with most of the fiber laid over the last 20 years is not that it can't handle more than 1gbps. Most of the problem is the equipment, not the type of fiber used.
You're comparing a text editor to an IDE. If you are able to do your work with a text editor, maybe you didn't need an IDE in the first place.

I use `pass` on linux/mac, which creates a directory of .pgp encrypted plaintext files for each password for each website.

https://www.passwordstore.org/

I sync this directory to my mobile device using megasync (linux packages and Android app available).

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/megasync/

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mega.privacy.a...

Then I use `pass` on Android via the "Password Store" app (and the APG app to manage my PGP keys on mobile).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zeapo.pwds...

The whole UX is super easy. Basically just PGP, plaintext files, and copy/paste.
Wrong metric to use. Just because nobody talks about it doesn't mean it's a "good" choice. It might be better for all you or I know, but using how many hacker news posts you see for something like this is not a good way to evaluate a product.
Perhaps not on Linux. You don't need to run Linux on SBCs. At least not exclusively.

Some SBCs also contain additional non-ARM processors on the SoC, which could be used for the purpose of data acquisition.

For example Orange Pi has H3, which contains OpenRISC core that can run at 300MHz or so from code located in internal SRAM. I haven't tried yet, but I guess you can get pretty consistent results with this approach too: Main cores running on Linux processing the data, OpenRISC accessing GPIO and reading the data in a tight loop, throwing them to main memory into some ring buffer, or into part of the SRAM.
Buuuut the implicit claim is that not being around diversity is somehow bad for you.

> Then JavaScript and its modern frameworks ate backend, frontend, and everything in between, and it was time to re-become a web developer in 2017 — who writes JavaScript.

Gee, I always thought that Javascript was a mediocre language, sufficient for its initial purpose. I assumed that node.js was just someone's idea of "wouldn't it be neat if I could have this on the backend too and use the same representation of data on backend + frontend?"

I have to admit it sure does sound popular these days. But I still am under the impression (delusion?) that a dedicated backend implementation in a better-suited-language is what I really need. That said, I have little experience with web dev.

I would love to switch to a different password manager, but nothing else I've tried has quite managed to nail the usability aspect. Specifically, Lastpass's app fill functionality on Android is a huge benefit that I haven't seen in others. It also has a browser extension that works without a separate program running on your computer; I didn't even realize that was a plus until I started trying to use other apps that did that.

I guess for now I'll just turn off all of the automatic features like this I can find.
Here is how I think about it: It is a spectrum.

You can have high accessibility / ease of use or you can have high security. You can't have both.

By storing your info on a remote server, you are trusting they will protect your data. Maybe they will, maybe they won't.

It is just a matter of finding a balance you feel comfortable with. Personally, I don't store my passwords on any cloud service, carry them on a thumb drive and don't use services that expose them to the browser. Could I lose a thumb drive? Sure. I rate the chances of someone picking it up and knowing how to exploit it as very low.

Seeing those piles of abandoned bicycles reminded me of an episode from American history, the great railroad over-building of the late 1800s.

The Civil War had been an explosive period of industrial growth, and when it was over there was a lot of new capital sloshing around looking for someplace to go. Lots of it ended up going into the hot new transportation technology of the time, railroads, which led to a race between rail operators to grow as fast as possible in hopes of seizing a dominant market position and using it to muscle their competitors out of business. (A business plan which will be familiar to folks in the startup world.)

All of which resulted in an absolutely enormous amount of track being laid, something like 200,000 miles between 1860 and 1915; which turned out to be much more rail capacity than anybody actually needed, even when rail was at its most economically relevant. But all that growth meant that the railroad sector had become the biggest employer of Americans outside farming, so the deflation of the rail bubble led to the original "Great Depression" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Depression) and labor turmoil more severe than anything any living American has experienced.[1]

I look at all those bikes, all also built by speculative capital, and wonder: how many bubbles are waiting to pop in China? And what will happen when they do?

[1] Such as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Railroad_Strike_of_1877) and the Pullman Strike of 1894 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman_Strike).

IBM spent a humongous amount of man hours upon the running man in smit under AIX, many of those consumed with making sure it ran correctly on all systems of various speeds without the animations going crazy. Alas I don't have exact man hours, but that was what one of the engineers told me a nearly 2 decades ago now. Hopefully somebody else has more detail upon this as one of the earliest examples of progress animations that still runs today that I'm aware of.

I still hark back to the days of the C64 and the likes in which had tape storage and was common to have a game as a loading screen to play. Was a small program and used to give the user something to do whilst they waited 20 minutes for the program to load. Many also rewrote the cassette storage code for faster storage/loading and would often be a case of loading that program with the small game like space invaders that you could play whilst the main game loaded utilising the quicker tape handling code.

>The only way left to fight gentrification is, I am afraid to say, something between massive civil disobedience and outright violence.

Or you could just move someplace cheaper instead of resorting to this stuff.

>The alternative to fighting - chilling in our sofas and doing nothing - is waking up one day in a city without teachers, cleaning/water/sewer personnel, supermarket staff and, funny enough, police

And why exactly is this a problem? Every time I ask it in a discussion like this, no one has an answer. So what if there's no retail workers, teachers, or police? Then the problem will naturally correct itself, no? A city will eventually collapse and fail without these services, and then the real estate prices will rapidly fall to affordable prices, allowing these people to return. Meanwhile, a bunch of rich landowners will lose their shirts, which is a good thing.

>We as people can no longer trust the state (or the police) to serve our interest - both serve the interests of the ultra-rich investors only.

You as people need to move out of these unaffordable places and go someplace more affordable. You're part of the problem. You demand space in this limited market, along with everyone else, and this drives up the prices. Supply and demand, economics 101. If all the middle and lower income people abandon one of these places, the prices will drop like a stone; who wants to live in a city with no police or firefighters or restaurants? Ultra-high prices work OK for small portions of a city, so that service workers can live within commutable distance, but if the ultra-high priced zone grows too large, commuting becomes impractical and something's gotta give. So if you're a line cook at a restaurant, you need to decide whether you want to work for $10/hour in some cheap CoL town, or work for $20/hour in some ultra-expensive place and commute for 3 hours each way. If the wages aren't high enough to entice people to commute, and businesses shut down, the problem will naturally correct itself.
There is a down side to this. It would use government money to create a new finite resource and there will be battles over it just like spectrum. From TFA:

"Dig once requirements are often opposed by deep pocketed incumbent telephone and cable companies, who build their own infrastructure and would prefer that smaller competitors not have access to cheap and freely available conduit,"

I suspect the big incumbents would simply lease the space and throw their own fiber in there to monopolize this new federally funded conduit. Then some of the maintenance burden falls on the government. Such wonderful corporate welfare well see down the road!

I'm happy it ended up being a self description. I was a little worried it was going to be a bit of directed humor that might be unintentionally offensive. Not that I'm generally thin-skinned about that, but it would have been a bit much to have an article about "you're old so you don't know how to do stuff, so let me explain it to you". I could see someone attempting that in humor, and it just coming across badly...

How do you know this?
I switched away from Dashlane after several years because their software has been getting progressively more unstable. Force-killing the Dashlane executable because the browser plugin has locked up got pretty old.
Anyway, excellent project. I hope to try it. :)

Have you looked into using opensource protocol analyzers, or adding support for sigrok?
FWIW : Google is working with Dashlane in order to extend and generalize SmartLock into a standard lib : openYOLO (you only login once).
