Love KeepassXC and have been using Keepass2Android for mobile.

I'm using Google Drive for syncing because on Android it allows me to add a shortcut to the file on my home screen. I've never tried syncthing before and just looking into it now, I love that it's open source, not cloud-based, and not using a proprietary protocol.

I'm watching this video[0] overview of it right now that seems to be going pretty in-depth.

> While I agree that most people aren't stupid, I would argue that many people are ignorant

If that's true, solve that problem directly via education and enforcing transparency. There are also other solutions such as grants w/ stipulations, enforcement of existing fraud statutes, etc.

Let's assume there are 3 segments of people here: 1) the ignorant, 2) the non-ignorant accepting, and the 3) non-ignorant unaccepting. We have to stop letting #3 (arguably the smallest group but probably consisting of most here) run the show wrt to laws. There are too many consequences to pieces of legislation that all of us business owners have to conform to regardless of whether it is targeted to us. Most often we don't even recognize the consequences because we are so focused on how good we're going to do and how much we're going to help everyone. I dub it digital security theater.

I would be super interested to hear more about the contraindications of CBT for autism-spectrum people. A quick search is only turning up sites that are pro-CBT.
Would Celera have done what they did without HGP doing a lot of preliminary research and creating an environment of strong interest?

It seems to me that these kinds of arguments have a "that which is seen vs. that which is unseen" problem. All the preliminary R&D that sets the stage and builds interest gets forgotten after the big "Eureka!" In reality "Eureka!" is a borderline myth. Look at any big invention and you can find that a lot of fertilizer was added to the soil before it sprouted.
The thing that really matters is whether the US can continue to borrow money at reasonable rates.

That's the harbinger of doom, when treasury bond rates start to act weird, no one knows what level of debt that will happen at so the hand wringing over X trillions is kind of silly.
Fine by me; but this is a usability issue and the answer isn’t “wrap every line in asterisks and prepend with an angle bracket”.
One of the weird things about the DSM-IV definition of Asperger's/Autism was that it was defined by certain criteria applying during childhood.

The literature that I was given during my diagnosis was very clear that even if all the symptoms disappeared in adulthood, you still "had it". (And of course, the doctors were all trying to give the parents hope, so, "oh, yes, it's very likely your child will have a normal adult life".)

(I'm still not 100% sure whether this also applies to the revised DSM-V definition.)
That sounds more like OCD. You don't observe anything like sensoric hypersensitivity? or looking at peoples lips, not the eyes, when they talk? or somewhat lack of empathy and emotions? or a strong sense for justice?
To all the skeptics, please try it out and provide constructive feedback. Experiment with the corner cases you think won't work. Judging just by the blogpost won't help anyone.

Personally, I'm very excited and impressed by the ability of the Go team to innovate by diving deep and understanding every aspect of the problem at hand and the existing solutions, instead of just blindly adopting whatever already exists.
Does it really cost this much money to destroy the world though?
The proposal explicitly allows for a "proxy" so you don't have to pull from GitHub et al:

> Define a URL schema for fetching Go modules from proxies, used both for installing modules using custom domain names and also when the $GOPROXY environment variable is set. The latter allows companies and individuals to send all module download requests through a proxy for security, availability, or other reasons.
> Browsers are expected to have password management of some sort. Firefox's existing one is rather inadequate from a UX and security standpoint, as recently discussed.

I'd like to see this discussion.

For me, I find Firefox's password manager the only one I can bother using, because it offers a good and seamless UX, right where I need it.

If they "fix" that by making it terrible like Lastpass, I honestly don't know what I'll do.

How were any of you damaged by Facebook ads, exactly? Why the outrage now and not before, when Obama (and everyone else) used targeted advertising?

This whole outrage over privacy is disingenuous. It’s painfully obvious the outrage is about Donald Trump being elected president, not personal information used to target ads.
What is their mission?
Really glad to see the change of course on this issue.
As Andy Lester recently tweeted (but said it wan't his): Should "bikeshedding" be hyphenated?

I should see if he remembers where he got it.
At the same time, Celera didn't launch until 1998, 8 years after HGP started. So Celera effectively languuished since 1990 as well. Ideas need to ripen in their time. Celera didn't jump in the game until the tech (bio tech and computer tech) was ready, and BTW Celera had the benefit of consuming all of HGP's output while keeping their own secret.
I... don’t mind this? If you have a corpse and a phone, that’s sort of sensible. I’d expect this to be the case, and the person is dead after all.
I imagine that the windows OS repo includes IE (and edge), paint, Exploer.exe, Windows Management Systems, Cortana, and a ton of other projects that would merit their own repository in an open source community.

I feel like this is the package management equivalent to the shift from geocentrism to heliocentrism. Yes, you can approximately predict the movements of the planets with the geocentric model and lots of epicycles (Bundler/npm model), but it suddenly makes so much more sense and it's so much simpler if you assume the sun as the center of the solar system.
> If the Human Genome Project had been completed in 1993 instead of 2003

Could the project have been completed in 1993 with infinite funding? Just taking into account computing power put into the project, it was exponentially greater in 2003, so perhaps in 1993 it wasn't enough. Maybe it would have taken until 2003 no matter what, as the limiting factor wasn't money but something else.
Things I learned as a startup CFO
Andreas M. Antonopoulos @aantonop
Well then it isn’t really much of choice is it? It’s a false choice. The product manager will apply as much pressure as needed to get the desired effect. To quote Captain Ramsey in Crimson Tide, “[Y]ou can get a horse to deal cards. It’s just a matter of voltage.”
12 hour startup time? Wow, that's crazy. Any idea on the reasoning behind the startup delay? I understand the reasoning for disabling it after 10 days, dexcom does the same, but I can't find any reasoning for delaying startup.

I'm in the US and my Dexcom takes 2 hours to startup, and that's really only because of the sensor temperature adjustment, otherwise it's pretty much instantaneous.
If you have failed a lot you probably know better when to say "No" but it's still hard to say "Yes" because you don't know what works. You only know what doesn't work. Again, the key to good luck is often luck.
How to do with Ionic 3
Google can probably determine EXACTLY how many nickels you’d have and here you are stuck just guessing.
Extending that logic, open source advocates should be stopping people from pirating software. If they're not going to buy windows anyway, at-least a few of them would switch to Linux.

>I would go as far to say that 99% [..]

>Their numbers are pure fiction.

How ironic :)
Maybe I was wrong?

I had the opposite experience of yours. Moving from one place to another resulted in me going from Ms. Popularity to extreme loneliness. But I was very clear that there were multiple factors impacting my social life, including the fact that I got a full time job and no longer had as much free time for my social life.

I will suggest that you sit down and try to do a more thorough analysis and list as many differences as possible between your life in the SFBA and your life on the East Coast and try to figure out how each of those factors may have impacted your dating life. See if you can draw any inferences that may be useful in trying to successfully date while living in the SFBA. The obvious explanation isn't always the correct explanation and there are usually multiple factors in any given outcome. It usually isn't due entirely to a single factor.

If you don't want to consider the possibility that there are more factors than just the male to female ratio in these two locations, you don't have to. But please kindly refrain from shooting me down this time should you not like this suggestion either. You seem incredibly committed to your conclusion that it cannot be fixed. If you really believe that and are unwilling to consider any of the excellent suggestions here for another way to look at the problem space, then you are just wasting everyone's time.
It seems weird to use file count as a measure of size -- what is the content of those files seems more important. Moreover, is it even a good thing? 3m files _could_ (doesn't necessarily) indicate it's poorly structured/intractable. All round it just seems like a weird/unnecessary comparison to make.

Edit: missed "indicate".
For us the diagnosis is a formality and a means to another end: access to resources in our child's school, protection for him from punishing him due to behavior that is a result of his condition, and formal recognition by our insurer to ease accepting claims for his therapy.
> I think you're under the impression that facebook's job is to be good at showing you what you want and being useful. I'm pretty sure they think their job is to balance being just useful enough that you don't quit while maximizing revenue from you, which might entail being pretty crappy to use overall.

This is just a minor quibble to lambda_lover's point, which still stands. Facebook may understand it's job is to shove as many ads in its users' faces as they will tolerate, but that's not why users use its app. It's users view its job as being useful to them, and being bad at that makes makes FB vulnerable to competitors or even just general dissatisfaction.
Agreed. If they want to get into a p*ssing contest, they ought to consider they're comparing their entire OS to just the kernel. Let's pick any one distro and I bet they'll be eating their words. Then consider everything that counts as 'Linux' and I bet the daily commit count would result in Windows' development being classed as a 'critical network outage'.

That was an legal/accounting gimmick, underscored by the fiscal/economic point that minting a coin is fiscally equivalent to issuing debt.

> It's mind-boggling that it has taken so many years to implement such a simple thing.

Something "looking" simple from a distance and actually being simple when you code it are two different things. Also its not like that was the only feature they had in the backlog to work on.

Its mind-boggling that people don't realize how much work actually goes in writing a game engine.
If C changes and B doesn't reflect the change in its own behavior, then there's no need for a new release of B. Just update it and group it in with the next normal release.

If C changes and B's behavior does reflect it, then A does need to know about it.

The "sea" is limited to times that direct dependencies change their behavior, which is what it already is.

> Kant already made it clear that our experience of the world by definition is something different from the world in itself.

He didn't make it "clear" if by "clear" you mean he demonstrated this to be true. Why posit noumena at all if all that is knowable are phenomena?

> For example, EM radiation of certain wavelengths hit the eyes which cause us to experience colors. So strictly speaking colors do not exist in "the world in itself", they are a function of the human mind.

That's not really Kantian. But in any case, appealing to EM radiation and minds as the true causes of color is appealing to unknowable noumena. You're dismissing color as mere phenomena, but how could you even come to know that to be the case? After all, as you say, all you really know are phenomena.

Their userbase is largely unaffected. There was an article stating that their app store rank has even gone up. They add millions of users a month. So any losses can be absorbed over time if this dies down.

Its quite possible that the stock is oversold at this point.

Its not wishing/spinning. At this point it does look quite plausible.
you could build a simple app that illustrates your points.

An Often Forgotten Characteristic About Your Startup's Ideal Customer Profile
The example there dealt with direct dependencies but what about transitive (dependencies of dependencies)? If you have a module that asks for an old version of a dependency what will upgrade that? minimal version selection will keep with the old transitive versions. That's where there concern comes in.
I was able to find this online:

> In the US, FreeStyle Libre’s accuracy has improved a bit with these changes – the average measurement error relative to a reference value is 9.7%, an improvement from around 11% in Europe (and on par with 9.0% for Dexcom’s G5). (https://diatribe.org/abbotts-freestyle-libre-approved-us-rep...)

Which is absolutely ridiculous. 12 hours without a CGM is much, much more dangerous than a 1.3% margin of error.

I find myself doing the same for many of these points. I wonder what the point is then to hit OOP so hard in CS majors if at the end of the day production code isn't written like that. I guess my question is more the validity of seemingly esoteric concepts when practical programming evolves to the list in the post by drawkbox.
Simplistic supply and demand analysis does not reflect the complexities of the US healthcare market. There are numerous public analysis of where the costs from our market come from - and they are strongly correlated with the fact that it's a "market" at all.

e.g. the US as more doctors per capita than the UK and Canada - both of which have much lower healthcare costs than the US.
The last I heard, MS imported the entire Windows history into Git. It resulted in a repo of over 300GB. To deal with this (imagine the fresh clone times...) they built a virtual filesystem on top of Git.[0]

We all know Windows is quite a mess, and many of those files will be for esoteric legacy compatibility reasons. At the same time, they've certainly done a good job of stress-testing Git!

I think it's awkward how obvious this is, and how comfortable the media is with that being the case. From Wired's article a week ago:

> The crisis was familiar in a way: Facebook has burned its fingers on issues of data privacy frequently in its 14 year history. But this time it was different. The data leakage hadn’t helped Unilever sell mayonnaise. It appeared to have helped Donald Trump sell a political vision of division and antipathy.

So a guy you didn't like got elected and now this is a problem. The same journalists could barely keep it in their pants when Obama was squeezing every mile he could out of data in 2008 and 2012.
It's not repetition if it sometimes varies, as the article discusses.

It's certainly a common case that they're all the same, and we can handle that by augmenting go, which already scans the project for import lines, to warn on different versions, or even update them in the import lines.

When you say diagnosis-as-scapegoat your probably refer to an increase of diagnosis, but that is simply explained by the increased knowledge of the condition.
The Mind-Expanding Ideas of Andy Clark
No, if you trade using an exchange, the transaction does not get put on the global ledger. The accounts at an exchange are kept on the exchange's own books. Trades into and out of the exchange are registered on the global ledger, but they will show up coming to/from the exchange's large working wallets, and will not be traceable to an individual user's account without inside information.
Hacking mupdf to save the page number

Yeah, CBT is still the default approach, AFAIK, and perhaps for good reasons.

I wish I had the article at hand, but as I recall the problem with CBT can be that it still focuses too much on the mind and thinking as a way to solve things, which can exacerbate the ASD tendency to, well, overthink in circles and get lost in (ineffective) rumination. I think the article argued that DBT could be better in those cases (perhaps because it's even more 'mindfulness/meditation' in nature??).

But I've also heard/read that DBT is kind of the Vue.js to psychology's React.js, in that it's 'New And Improved' but not quite as well-tested.
EU competition chief holds threat of breaking up Google
Former manager, back to engineer checking in.

I tried to practice the above, to an extent where possible. Sometimes upper management or other teams have a way of interrupting engineers with stuff that isn't a priority. It happens. Most engineers "aren't bothered" but it does impede on current workloads.

Another thing I practiced was only taking on low priority, or menial engineering tasks. I have seen some managers want to be directly involved with higher priority and larger efforts when really that isn't their role. Its good to keep hands on work, but don't take that away from your team.

Did you ever use TFVC (shudder) or SourceSafe (vomit)? I'm glad they chose git... keep them productive and making Windows 10 better.
I partially blame the Android permissions system. They are so generic you have no idea what you are giving permissions to. Permission in this case: "Allow INSERT APP NAME HERE to access your contacts?"

Access what? Read access? Write access? Get all of their name and contact fields? Send them text messages? Call them? Spam?

If I don't give them the access, what happens next? Can I not use the app? Will the app break? Will the app just ignore it?

There's no information. If you google it for more information you will have to dig for it in some obscure google groups forum, and then yet it's not really clear. Because when you google for Android App Permissions you get results meant for Android Developers, and not normal human beings (jk about the normal human beings part).

Wow that name brings back memories. Worked for a company years ago that moved to RedPrairie from an older system and was not happy about the "upgrade". This was around the same time they changed their interface for customer service to enter orders and customer information (to BlueMartini- same company that owns RP maybe?), which was also painful (old-IE-only, bug-ridden, etc)

Could you give some specific examples where a startup was sold at a loss and some of the investors actually got out more money than they put in?

I know that when a public company goes bankrupt, the investors with preferred stock can, at best, get back all their money, but they can't make a profit.
I don't see how a popup that asks for permission in clear and simple terms is dubious at all. I don't want to have to print out the terms and conditions, get them notarized with my signature on them, and snailmail them back to the company when I want to use an app's features in the future, but if explicitly consenting to a popup isn't good enough then I fear that's the path we'd be headed down.
