I think it's a combination the "Justification 3" in the article (having passwords stick around in the clipboard could be an issue) and maybe the idea by some people that passwords should be memorized and never written down anywhere.

Maybe they're worried people will have a "password.txt" in My Documents where they store all their passwords in cleartext. That being said it'd still probably would be more secure than having the same password everywhere like most people seem to do.

MySQL doesn't throw an exception or write to an error log when a query matches zero rows, seems silly to throw jQuery under the bus because the programmer doesn't understand a library.
but you and others have made a conscious decision not to run javascript in your browser

I most certainly have not. I run everything the domain serves up. Only not automatically the stuff served up by third party servers.

Hence, I am not "also wrong".
Please correct me if I'm wrong, as this is all conjecture.

I feel passwords used to be thought of as a combination of characters that you keep in your head, and should only leave your head when being entered in a password field. Preventing paste discourages storing your password in a file called passwords.txt, and accidentally pasting it somewhere else as well.

Of course, we now understand passwords should have some qualities (larger alphabet, avoid common words/phrases as your passwords) which go against ease of remembering, so we now use passwords managers and other tools.

So this behaviour is probably and old common practice that most people used without knowing why and that's why we still see it even if its outdated and harms security in the end

Hello, I'm using it for not too big stuff.

Your biggest concerns, maybe:

+ Bandwidth limitations (the $5 instance has 200m/s I think)

+ Lack of additional services you get in other clouds (email sending with AWS SES, for example). It's ok if you just need instances, shared storage, shared IPs, availability zones, backups and an API.

+ Response capacity. I'm not sure if it will be better or worse, but I think it's not the same team, architecture, core infrastructure, etc compared to your current providers... this may require some research to understand if it's a concern for you.

+ The "private" IP of the instances, so you can talk with instances in the same region, is in a shared network with other clients (or at least, it was the last time I did check).

+ Some services (balancers, ipv6) have been released recently, so maybe they are not so "mature" as in other providers. Didn't test any of them here, sorry.

+ Some times, the kernel version in the repos, and the kernel version available for the instance from the API or web interface, are out of sync (at least in Debian instances).

Said that, the instances and the service, perform as expected.

You also have "cloud init" and an API in digital ocean, so you can hook your configuration management system, to automate actions, scaling-up, scaling-down, etc.

They notify for planed maintenance.

As in every cloud provider, sometimes you spin up an instance, and you see lot of old traffic and requests (crawlers, bad dns's, etc). This is no different here.

I think you should make a POC with a pre-production environment... this is cheap. How big is your app?
OK now that's weird..
Assuming you are creating an account, UN: Hello PW: World123

My largest issue is that its extremely possible to fat-finger your UN to be Hellow, and its extremely easy to see and fix that mistake.

However since passwords are hidden its hard to see ######## is actually Worls123. Now your new account has essentially a one-time login because you have no idea what your password is. Typing it out again, ensures you catch your mistake

>If you don't come from the right background I'm not sure that studying philosophy at Oxford is the best move.

Worth noting that in the UK until recently cost and university were un-related. Indeed, it's one of the aspects of the modern system that infuriates me. I despise the idea of a bright child choosing a mediocre university to save 2-3k of student debt per annum. I can't believe it's good for the state of society.

It's also worth noting that the terms of student debt in the UK are far far less usurious than in the US.
Im not sure why there is confusion here. A commoner is any common person who is not royalty. As such she is choosing to marry a non-royal and as such loses her status as a royal.
Which means you missed all that BBS and USENET bashing fun.

No, bashing C is a common practice from those of us on the memory safe side of the fence since the early days.

Take the paper "A History of CLU"[0] describing how CLU was designed and implemented in 1975.

"I believe this is a better approach than providing a generally unsafe language like C, or a language with unsafe features, like Mesa [Mitchell, 1978], since it discourages programmers from using the unsafe features casually."

There are tons of other examples, all available in old papers, BBS and USENET archives.

Up to a specific level, yes. A simple example of that is the loss of reasoning upon a lifethreatening situation.

I'm constantly surprised by how much work Amazon expects its customers to do themselves. The work that Segment has done here should be a service provided by AWS directly, continuously updating cost data in a Redshift database without any customer work required.

We just migrated our data infrastructure to GCP. One of the big motivators was experiences like this with AWS. We've got near-realtime GCP cost dashboards in BigQuery, and the only meaningful work on our end to make that happen was writing the SQL queries.

> SIDE NOTE: I don't get how a lot of people today don't understand that using vague language in apologies doesn't help with apologies.

It doesn't, you're right. But specific language in apologies doesn't help the company much during litigation, especially civil litigation when assessing damages. I realize that's not real sexy, but that might give you some perspective on your question. Imagine everything you write is being entered into a court transcript, and evaluated by a judge's clerk working on a recommendation for assigning damages. It is better to focus on delivering excellent service so things more rarely get to that point, but that's how apologies and announcements tend to get vague to the point of senselessness.

I've seen it, and it's fantastic. It's not about advertising.

That's hilarious coming on the heels of an ad-hominem. Do you have any counter argument? Poor as it is, it's true, I'm sharing my feelings as someone with experience on both sides. The person I replied to, and you, and me, we all have the power within us to make ads irrelevant to our lives. And yet we don't. Why? The person I replied to seems to suggest he has an inalienable right to consume free content. Is that true? Does he deserve high quality free content, ad-free? Is it really the advertisers' fault that ads exist? Do you believe that taxing advertisers is the solution to reducing the scourge of ads?

Anyway, I've upvoted you for making me laugh.

Please, note thay there is not one single bibliographic reference in the John A. Knight article from 2013. Something that is not common in science. This is an opinion article (or just a report mixing facts about valium and opinions), not a peer reviewed publication in a standard scientific journal.

And of course "Is very tempting to use it", "There is considerable potential for diazepam to be misused" and "It may be used for evil things" is not the same thing as "It was used for evil things". Almost anything could be harmful. There is considerable potential for coffe to be used for evil things also, but this is not its common use.

If, as the author claims, "there is strong evidence of their misuse in dolphinariums" please, show us the evidence.

In your third link in deustch says that the Berlin Zoo director Dag Encke claimed the accusations of drugged dolphins as being "bullshit" and "defamation" and that of course any ill dolphin is treated instead to let it die; an idea that seems sensible and do not supposes any moral problem to me.

Exactly my problem. Moreover, technical aspects aside, it seems a very poor choice for a satire on silicon valley: data compression is hard science, more likely to come from university maths departments than from garage startups; it doesn't require much marketing either, or hype, or social networking, or even fancy websites. Given that the real SV offers endless examples of silly products and enterprises (just the first that come to mind: the app to send "YO" to your friends; the completely useless $400 juice squeezer with wifi connection) putting such a no-nonsense innovation like a novel data compression algorithm at the center of the show is already completely off target.
Right-Exclusive ranges are superior to inclusive ranges because they can represent empty ranges, which removes one rare degenerate case and not overemphasizing it.

Another benefit: creating a series of right-exclusive ranges from a sequence [a, b, c, f] is easy: [a, b) [b, c) [c, f)

Swift is like Kotlin except it's much worse.
Could be, but it's flawed reasoning anyway. Preventing copy/paste won't prevent people from storing their passwords in passwords.txt.

Nobody other than those who use very simple, high risk passwords can remember them all. It has to be stored somewhere. Preventing copy/paste seems like a completely useless step (security wise) that only causes unnecessary bother.
Agree completely. That was the beginning of the end, as it is for most innovative companies.

I have used Spring before and I like it quite a bit. I have tended to use vanilla Servlets for most of my projects recently and use libraries like Gson, Apache Commons, PdfBox etc etc where appropriate.

I think if anyone wants to go down the route of using Spring, Play or similar then you MUST spend the time learning it in pretty deep detail. I've seen so many people with "Spring experience" on their CV who can make a webpage appear using the tech but as soon as something goes wrong or they are asked to do something a little different they are screwed as they don't know the framework well enough.

I only use vanilla Servlets and my own stuff because I have been building up my own libraries and ways of doing things over time and I've been burnt enough times with old-school frameworks (like JSF and Seam) that just add so much unnecessary work and ball-ache.

I like to write the fewest lines of code possible and also use the fewest dependencies possible. I find that plain ol' Servlets gives me that for most of the stuff I do.
Why are we encouraging this? These illegal workers undermine the market. They create a race to the bottom where the only recourse for competitor firms is to also hire illegal workers.

I've wondered if this would be applicable to data analysis, to automatically generate a 1-d condition based on a hand-drawn 2-d condition. Each fold is equivalent to a piecewise linear transformation, and the cut is equivalent to a 1-d condition.

This would allow for a series of similarly shaped regions to be defined, all with the same transformation, but with different cut heights.
It doesn't really make sense to talk about jobs being created or destroyed, it makes more sense to talk about labor being made more or less valuable.

While the combination of AI and increasingly efficient mechanical automation certainly makes some labor more valuable, it's hard to see that as labor that is (or can be) as common, in terms of people able to supply it, as is the labor it makes less valuable.

If you want your company to be a special snowflake, don't get greedy, don't sell a bunch of stock to outside investors and don't go public. The CEO betrayed his entire vision when he did that, you can't siphon off profits to give to other stakeholders (such as for egregious employee benefits) when you don't own and control the business.

And for all the good those excess benefits did in attracting top talent, why is Etsy's software so crappy?
>if you can remember your password, its probably too weak

As XKCD famously pointed out[0], Diceware[1]-style pass phrases can be both secure and memorable. XKCD's four word example isn't secure when fast brute-force attacks are feasible, but eight words is still easily memorable and secure enough for anything. The important point here is that "random words" really does mean "random", i.e. not picked by a human.

One of the things that I personally think is "data" is "software", and I believe that all data should be something that is able to be transferred via e-mail. A sufficient set of random clicks from an e-mail currently can--and in my world view absolutely should be able to--lead to arbitrary code execution without any form of security vulnerability.
Thanks, I will read it, so are you of the opinion that there is no job that C is the best tool? Btw I am not a C developer and I would never use C except if I am asked to work on a project that uses C already. I would use C++ with Qt for GUI though.
The only scenario I can accept paste-blocking is double-field password creation. At least one should refuse paste, just to make sure I haven't copied the wrong string.

Whilst we're on the topic: I hate stupid input fields that don't ignore whitespace and have a maximum number of characters. So you paste the space-separated number (I'm looking at you IBAN), get an exception because of the spaces, go back and remove them, get another exception, and then realise that the number was truncated due to the field length restriction applied on paste. ARGHHHHHH
I've pasted my ultra long pwd in the username field and hit enter. It happened more than once on logins where the form is split into two steps (I am talking to you Google). Why do they split the u/p fields into two steps? Does it add security? Better UX?
