We need people who can do both of those things. Unfortunately there's not much Node-expertise around here so we didn't really come across any back-end Node people.

I figure I can teach someone the Node-specific stuff if they have a solid foundation. Similarly, I think I can teach almost anyone HTML/CSS so I wasn't too concerned about those parts either; they were mostly just necessary as setup for the later questions.

The things some people tend not to ever be able to fully grasp are recursion and async programming which is why I wanted to make sure to include those.

Wow, it's interesting how different people's perspective can be.

One of the deciding factors for me switching 100% to iOS and MacOS was the unified keychain across all browsing and apps. For the first time in ever I rarely do password resets in an app. There are a few apps that "brilliantly" roll their own password input fields and those don't work, but they are rare. And a few websites that split the username and password onto separate screens that are kind of hit or miss, but again rare. And on the ios12 beta, the keyboard grabs one-time sms codes and auto-inputs them with one tap.

From my layman's perspective I have one keychain and it has everything in it. And it just works 99% of the time. But I don't use it for AWS anything. I don't know or care about the different kinds of keychains -- they just work.

Not doubting your experience, just wanted to throw out there another one.

I only wish Authy (my current preferred 2 factor token generator) was more integrated with the Apple keyboard, but it has a widget that makes things pretty quick.
from the article:

To environmentalists who believe that the technology could be harmful because of toxic fumes from plastic residue, Dr Vasudevan points out that the plastic used is softened at 170C. “Plastic decomposes to release toxic fumes only if it is heated at temperatures above 270C (518F). So there is no question of toxic gases being released,” he says. Since plastic coats the stone and interacts with the hot bitumen, it’s properties change and it doesn’t break down when exposed to light and heat.

this, so much. Last time I worked with MongoDB it was with some founder code where he'd scraped sites for data and evolved the code & schema as he found issues. To stop my code from crashing every day, I had to basically write a ton of boilerplate to enforce the schema. I tried to convince him to move to Postgresql, but he was convinced that it would be slow and he'd have to write a lot of boilerplate to deal with it hehe
> I seriously doubt that Firefox Lockbox will allow you to cloud-sync your password file without setting a master password.

The current Firefox Accounts protocol simply encrypts a master key with a key derived from the account password. That's not terrible, although it does mean that account passwords must be cryptographically strong. However, Firefox Accounts can be logged into from a webpage which executes JavaScript served dynamically, which means that Mozilla, a Mozilla employee or any government or organisation which can compel Mozilla or Mozilla employees can serve targeted JavaScript to you to steal your master password, and then silently read your passwords. As such, Firefox accounts cannot be trusted with high-security passwords.

(Yes, you have to trust Mozilla to run Firefox at all, but it's significantly easier to hide a single download of a compromised JavaScript file than it is to hide a compromised Firefox binary served to the world)
The problem is you'd end up with almost the same underutilization in a scenario where the "core" was provided by one device -- for the big desktop setup, for example, you'd still need a large display, power supply, input devices, etc... yeah, you'd be able to lose the powerful CPU (which is sitting idle when not being used anyway), but you'd replace it with (admittedly less complex) support chips that handle the remote-desktop-from-the-smartphone features. How would that be handled? With a low-power SoC. So in almost any situation, it ends up being worth it just to spend a tiny bit more on a good SoC — then you'd have more power, both devices able to be used simultaneously and/or by different people without compromise, etc.

I need to coin a term for this concept, I see it on every Hacker News thread once it reaches a certain size. It is the attribution of the topic to some nefarious intention of a dude in marketing. Once you start noticing it you can't unsee.

Intel fires their CEO? It's a PR stunt.

I've never understood the appeal of paid password management services like 1password. Is there any benefit to using this over something like KeePassXC + Dropbox?
They make a very limited set of Windows and Android apps that are all clearly intended to drive sales of Apple Music and their hardware. (One of their three Android apps appears to be a "move to iOS" one, too.)

1Password for Android doesn't drive any Apple product sales.
The amount of bias in the wording of these questions makes me skeptical of the survey's usefulness. It feels more like a questionnaire about support of various social issues, where if you disagree with the social issue then you get categorized as authoritarian. For instance, it's very possible to believe that protesters are frequently wrong and that authorities are frequently correct without being an authoritarian. You can believe those things without believing it's the government's duty or responsibility to enforce your personal beliefs. Many of the questions exhibit this problem.

One of the questions in particular categorizes you as less authoritarian if you support abolishing prayer in schools. By definition, using government to reduce personal freedom is an authoritarian policy, which makes banning prayer an authoritarian policy. This type of bias shows up in many of the questions.

Scores from this test seem to represent how closely the person who answered matches the social views of the survey's author. I'm not sure how useful that is to anyone other than the author.
>> before the projector’s heat began to melt the frame.

> What?

The projector uses a hot lightbulb to display the frame in the film onto a wall or screen. The film sits just in front of this bulb, and of course the heat can risk damaging or melting the plastic film if the film is not quickly accelerated past the bulb (as is the case for watching a video - a sequence of frames).

Keeping one frame visible on a wall is to measure the visible size of the fireball, but doing so means one frame stays in front of the bulb long enough to risk it melting.
That's definitely inconsistent with the description given to me by 8 HHMI investigators. Each of them said they had a continuity of program managers from their initial contact in high school.
Password managers facilitate password strength best-practices, which without them have ~0% adoption rate.
I won't speak for sokoloff. But for myself, my issue with government is that I see, in concrete specifics, exactly what sokoloff said: Waste and inefficiency.

And if you claim to care about poverty, maybe you should care about the efficiency of the programs that are supposed to be helping poverty. Maybe you ought to care whether they really do some good, or whether they just employ a lot of middle-class bureaucrats. Note that it's not the middle-class bureaucrats that we're really trying to help.

So for all your ripping sokoloff for his/her alleged lack of compassion, you seem to have your head in the sand. You act like government programs actually do what they say on the label - as if passing a program to help people actually helps them.

Some of those program probably do some good. But they could do more. If you actually care about the poor (instead of just claiming you do), you have to care about the efficiency of programs that are supposed to help them.
That's a shame. I personally find that nowadays, older games tend to run better on Linux with Wine than on Windows 10.

Civ 2 for instance runs flawlessly on Wine. Even on Windows 7 I had to install a fan made patch to get it to run without crashing.

Since his website is now an advertisement, it's wise to take everything he says with skepticism.. is he pushing the product, or is he providing good advice? What's his motivation for helping users when his main focus is on pushing ads?

Has anyone done a thoughtful comparison of PW managers?

I moved on from keepass because it was a huge hassle to use, but LastPass and 1password both have some detractors as well.
The folks leading the charge on how terrible and unacceptable this is were, from what I've seen, mostly the same folks campaigning to get folks who aren't part of their clique fired over non-work-related political views and social media posts. It feels like just another aspect of the same thing: fire the people we want fired and employ the people we want you to employ, or we'll make a terrible fuss and drag your reputation through the mud.

> The majority of enterprise users use and prefer Windows.

I think the enterprise CIOs use Windows because switching isn't a consideration; they've made an enormous investment in it, and cost of switching also is astronomical - consider hiring / training an all-new IT staff, development team, etc for the new platform, then recreating/repurchasing and redeploying all software running natively, then retraining every user. Whether or not they like Windows is a non-issue.

Apple already has an inferior product, the password syncing service built into iCloud. I'm not sure I see what value 1Password has to them at all except for it's cross-platform support and more robust feature set.

I'd view this as a way of adding support for Windows and Linux. One of the most irritating things about iCloud Keychain is that on my work computer (linux) I have to whip out my phone and look up passwords in keychain. Migrating to 1Password (and seamlessly integrating it into iOS) would be a huge value to everyone if they maintain interoperability. If they kill the other platforms, they gain nothing.
We gave the non-technical interviews first because we wanted to prioritize the people who wanted _this_ job over the ones who seemed to be applying for _every_ job.

If we're going to spend a ton of time onboarding and training someone we want them to be happy with what they're working on so they're more likely to stick with us longer term.

It was surprising how many naked resumes we received with no cover letter and no indication that the candidate even knew what company they were applying to.

Regardless, I've learned that RAM has gotten much faster than I would expect. Cool to see.

There's a decent bit going on in that link, but point by point:

> 1. it doesn’t work. the software is absolute dogshit. buggy as hell.

This is just saying the current iteration is buggy. That's no counter-argument to the concept.

> 1.5. it can’t work. the mesh network problem

The difficulty of this problem depends on the number of relevant nodes, and the way you structure the network itself. He even cites a good example - BGP. He claims that BGP works because the nodes trust each other, but regardless of them trusting each other, they solve the mesh network problem. That trust is not integral to the solving of the mesh network problem.

> 2. the whole idea is dumb. nobody wants a network of prepaid channels.

Now this sounds like a decent argument. Except that, one could argue that your bank account and credit card are simply prepaid channels. If the LN gets up to scale, and if it achieves sufficient node liquidity that you can pay essentially anyone...then I don't see how this prepaid channel differs in any way from a traditional bank account.

> 3. the LN solves a problem that doesn’t exist. the idea is to make transactions fast again

The LN may or may not cause merchants to adopt Bitcoin for payments. But it definitely solves the more narrow "Bitcoin doesn't scale" problem.

> 4. the LN is coin-agnostic - so it isn’t an excuse for bitcoin’s unscalability

This doesn't even logically follow. It's just a complete non-sequitur. The LN is an excuse for Bitcoins not scaling yet. The LN can also be used to scale other coins. It may be that people prefer those other coins once they've achieved scale.

> Do you have clear evidence otherwise? Not anecdote, not what it possibly does, but actual evidence?

It's extremely hard to get data for something like that. But the clearest cut case is darknet markets. Cryptocurrencies are definitely actually used there for real commerce.
No, I think you need to broaden your definition of "media". Do you count Facebook as media? I think you need to.

Now, it's different, because it's not a broadcast medium. But people are getting their political opinions from others via Facebook rather than via the BBC or the papers, and so Facebook is now playing the role of media.

Maybe load was not the appropriate word to use.

Smith explains that that friction in a chain-based drivetrain is created largely at the eights points of articulation, where the chain bends around the chain ring, cassette and pulleys.

"Any time a chain articulates, friction is created. And any time it disengages, friction is created," Smith said. "When you think about pedaling 95rpm, you are looking at 40,000 stiction points a minute."

In the DrivEn system, those eight points are replaced by four points, each of which rotate on ceramic bearings. The chain ring's teeth and cassette's cog engage with the bearings on the shaft, which itself spins on bearings.
