We use the cloud version of Secret Server at my workplace and I don’t have any major complaints about it. We do combine it with SSO wherever we can to make things a little easier on users.
They are much less likely to get it after having the flu shot.
>instead h264 remains the undisputed king

Yes. And I think there is something more than licensing. x264 managed to push H.264 way beyond what anyone could imagine. It wasn't until 2017/2018 did x265 or in fact any commercial H.265 encoder had clear advantage over x264 at 8 / 10Mbps+ bitrate. For HEVC 4K it was obvious, but 4K content never really took off, and h.264 for 1080P was good enough at those bitrate.

I dont know much about AV2, but VVC is looking very promising. I just hope they dont mess this up.
The problem with SSO isn't technical, but that most SaaS products I've seen only support SSO for their enterprise tiers.

Otherwise, thanks to many providers like Okta and others, SSO should really be a feature provided to smaller tiers nowadays.

We're a small business (2 founders, 3 contractors), and we'd love to use SSO for everything. But we're too small to afford enterprise tiers for things like Slack, Gitlab, etc.

Hopefully this trickles down eventually.

Update: I'd like to add that we provide a SaaS product as well, and have considered adding SSO to the enterprise tier but after much research we can't really find a good reason to restrict it (apart from "everyone else is doing it", and potential manual config).

But both SAML and OpenID connect have discovery protocols. Again, this CAN technically be self-configured by the right customer. But then, maybe the solution is to have a one-time config fee, rather than require a certain tier.
Apart from those 2 issues, a smaller annoyance but I really wish 'Reopen in Container' would just reuse the tab. At least I've personally not once felt the need to keep the original tab open.
Wouldn't it come down to basically just a boat / submarine?
Note that the idea here is sound; identify and specify the roles of various actors in detail specifying explicitly that they are not actual _classes_. Effectively, this is high-level block diagram and there's every reason in the world to have that clearly defined before actually building a system.

But, then when you go to actually implement and testing something designed this way that's non-trivial. That's the point where I am arguing that OOP should not be manner in which the implementation is expressed because the paradigm is optimized for organizing functions that operate on common data context. But, not for organizing actors that must share data and carefully coordinate the which and in what order functions are applied to modify that data.
Yes! Amazon's search has been driving me crazy but it went from bad (loose interpretation of what I typed with a whole bunch of irrelevant stuff) to worse (adding more sponsored results, i.e. even less what I want).

Their recommendation engine for related prducts used to be nice but that's been replaced by sponsored products which lowers the quality.

Now, the only way I use Amazon's search is when I have a SKU or part number and type it in directly. But I also do that in Google and often find the same thing elsewhere at similar or less cost (including shipping, though to be fair it may take a day or 2 longer).

eBay's search is still one of the best for me, in that it respects the keywords I put in and allows for extended query syntax to really hunt something down (which then can be turned into a saved search).

One of the most creative things I found on eBay was tool rental. I needed a tool to replace the bearings on my washing machine, and a seller was selling one explicitely as a rental: tool was charged about $120, with $35 shipping. When done, sent it back for a refund. The "shipping" included the rental fee and shipping both ways.

Shameless plug, my podcast on personal digital security has a few episodes on password managers: https://looseleafsecurity.com/password-managers/

(And if podcasts aren't your thing - note that that page is text, and the episodes it links all have full transcripts.)

We didn't talk a lot about what's different for corporate users, but we do cover family/shared accounts. There's also two particular things I want to call your attention to:

- You probably should use a browser extension, because it's your most effective defense against phishing. A human might not notice the difference between a legit domain name and a phishing site, and might copy/paste a password into the wrong one. A browser extension will notice that you're not on the usual site and won't offer to fill in the password automatically.

- Getting browser extensions right is hard, and some leading password managers have been much better than others.
> Exactly. Very few people get this. Fahrenheit is better for communicating temperatures in daily life.

Literally the entire rest of the world disagrees with you

I've never needed a less than 1 degree unit for describing temperature, except in scientific contexts, where using 2 decimal places is fine

I don't see why "100 ~= body temperature (with fever)" is a useful scale point. Or why 32F = freezing is useful in daily life
I had the same impression upon first read. And from a programmers perspective of what the ideal conditions for such a software would be, I also thought of a ground placed camera, pointing upwards in a way in which id could see the basket an find items that were "forgotten" in it.
Have you used it with multiple users? I always hated the shared keepass solution due to the continual-sync problem we ran into. You had to make a change, manually sync, and hope that no one else was working on the same entry as you.

(Not to throw shade at Keepass, just my experience of it in the past, about 5 years ago.)
I reckon it's the only thing I use on macOS that even has a context menu. What's wrong with it? Or is it just that it doesn't look like those in... whatever you're using that also has them (Numbers.app et al. maybe?)?
Even it were true, which is not, Facebook had been anything but fair to its users (and non users) in case you didn’t get a chance to follow the news. Since Mozilla is all about user’s privacy and safety online and Facebook is such a huge menace than it actually makes sense to offer a targeted solution. But again, it’s just an implementation of a container, nothing specific to Facebook.
Pihole uses a forked version of dnsmasq they named 'Pi-hole FTL engine'. I don't believe there are any features of dnsmasq that cannot be used with the PiHole - but how to configure it to work alongside of PiHole might not be as obvious.
Could you elaborate more on the problems with lastpass a bit?
It's not quite so clear. The banks do owe deposited money to depositors, but they can also sell the mortgages themselves as bonds, and other entities buy the bonds. In that case, the homeowners owe money to bondholders (including other banks in Italy and around Europe, private and public pension funds, university endowments, and others.)

Even when the bank holds the mortgages directly, the bank does not owe the mortgage income to deposit account holders. The bank may owe interest to those accountholders... but today, that is likely at or near 0% rates. If payments on the loan are suspended for N months, the people who lose out are the bank's shareholders.

In either case, this loss could be modeled as putting this month's interest payments at the end of the loan life, up to 30 years later, and discounting the amount received by the time value of money over that interval... or, alternatively, by moving all the interest payments back by N months over the lifetime of the loan and performing the discount that way; I think it works out to the same loss either way.

(To be clear, this is a real loss, in the same way that if I took $500,000 from your savings and retirement accounts, and bought myself a home, and lived in it rent-free for 5 years, and give you back the same $500,000, you have suffered a loss, and I have enjoyed a gain.)

It's notable that European bank shareholders haven't been doing well recently — for a variety of reasons. There may fundamentally be too many of them, with too many inefficient processes, being propped up by governments instead of failing in an orderly fashion and being consolidated. But that's a different policy discussion.

Another thing that drives me crazy with LastPass is it won't give you a distinct URL for a note or folder (or whatever they call that particular resource) that you want to share.

So I end up having to give other members of my team step-by-step directions to finding the right file or folder every time I share one. And that's assuming the access permissions haven't got borked, which seems to happen more often than not.

I've been pushing my company to drop it for a while.

Why Does “=” Mean Assignment? (2018)
The 74 release says "New: Facebook container..."

Do they mean the facebook container addon will come as standard, pre-installed with 74 or do they only mean they updated the addon? Little bit confused, feels a bit strange if they meant the later (under the new firefox release), but a at the same time when I updated 73 to 74 I could not see any traces of the "facebook container" in 74, no added addon. Is it meant fb container should should be like an pre-installed addon?

Not op but want to comment on how similar the situation is to something ycombinator folks might have more experience with: its essentially a DDOS attack, because the time it takes to scale resources to meet demand is longer than the rate of growth of requests.
Why use lock wise over say. 1password or LastPass ?
Mass change of human behavior is one option for solving climate change, but IMHO doing that takes much, much more coordination and effort, and is less likely to succeed than a "apollo project" to launch a lot of foil pieces / chaff in proper orbit to achieve a slight shading of the sun.

Yes and 0% unemployed people in management positions as well.

Why is everybody so convinced that there should be an equal amount of every trait in any given set of people?

c.a. 50% of all humans are men but 0% of men give birth, how do we fix this inequality.

Seriously why would having X % of anything in set one mean that it should be exactly X % in a totally unrelated set?
> not everyone who operates a business or sells product/services do it out of profit driven motives.

I don't believe that's the case. If you have almost any other motive, running a business is generally not the best way to reach that goal.

I provide a service which I am good at and enjoy, and would be prepared to provide to friends for free. Like almost everyone does, in fact.

I run my service as a business so that I can keep a roof over my head: that's ultimately a profit motive.
Decades of disappointment? Most large software projects are still done with OOP and it doesn't seem like any functional programming prodigy paradigm is going to replace it any time soon.

OOP languages also happen to be some of the most popular languages around - C#, Java, C++, Javascript. Coincidence? (in before nitpicking about how C++ and Javascript aren't OOP).
Yeah, it's definitely an uncreative way for SaaS products to charge you more money that many take advantage of.
Heavily modified Model 3 in track mode with tires Michelin calls “streetable” (they were designed to meet minimum DOT standards to allow you to drive them legally on the street... that’s it.

The article almost makes it sound like it beat the track record, which was set by an F1, but it’s the record for the F1 on that track... on a rainy day.
Serious question, since this is out of my swim lane. The Author keeps talking about the effects of Galactic Cosmic Rays, do we have any usable materials we can build habitats out of that can block them? I mean usable in the sense we can produce in scale and they are non toxic to humans.
Yeah that confused me too. You'd definitely need your suit to be watertight (or rather liquid-methane-tight) so that the liquid doesn't touch your skin to prevent immediate frostbite. Maybe you won't need a fully pressurized suit, but that's just so low I feel like you wouldn't be able to survive for long periods without some sort of active heating (i.e. walking around with a portable furnace).
Just letting you know that the measured, fact based response has been abandonned in some european countries as it simply does not scale/is not feasible after widespread community spreading is happening.

I can taste it in Lemonade, sweet tea, or coffee but not as much in some diet colas. I stay away from it but accidentally drink it from time to time.

What to optimize is actually probably one of the most interesting optimization problems out there. In a factory you always need to search for the bottleneck. That's why I think Kaizen is so important. Apply incremental optimization to the biggest issues and you will succeed.

>"Technically open" doesn't help much if each of those formats is primarily pushed by one mega-corp,

Then no Format is Open by your standard. Apple or Google refuse to support anything would instantly make that format not Open by your standard. And if Apple drop Jpeg, would Jpeg not be an open standard ?

What you are describing is politics, nothing to do with the standards itself.

That is the problem with the tools. If Gimp Dev decide to take side in the format battle and not support it properly, then is that the fault of a standard?

When Straight Americans Lost Their Virginity
Absolutely. Those of us outside the US have terrible trouble with temperatures. We're constantly confused. Just the other day I was trying to measure something to a tenthousandth of a degree and I said to my friend "I wish we used Fahrenheit — they only have integer temperatures".
This article, and other writings on covid-19 I have read recently, makes the weird choice to treat "panic" and "take threat seriously" as synonyms. As far as I can tell, they aren't. If you look up panic in your favorite dictionary, the definition probably looks like "sudden fright that causes irrational behavior". It may be "time to take covid-19 seriously", it is never "time to panic".

Those semantics aside, the article does make a reasonable case for taking covid-19 seriously. One sticky point: that graphic with the rather scary looking USA infection projections is not from "the AHA", it's from a webinar presentation hosted by the AHA [1]. The presentation is, as far as I can tell, not an official endorsement by the AHA. That said, the presenter was James Lawler [2], who does seem to be some variety of expert on global health risks. How optimistic or pessimistic he is relative to comparable experts, I don't know.

"noisy" in this context referred to the output signal, not the acoustic levels.

I cannot vouch for others, but I didn't think much of it; while no-one are seriously expecting a Russian occupation of Norway, we're rather aware that we are a NATO member, the Russians very much not - and that there is bound to be some strain in the relationship, despite it (in particular in the border zone up north) being good on a day-to-day basis.

For instance, citizens of both countries living in a defined zone either side of the border can visit under a visa waiver-esque program.

IIRC the debate following the TV series was more about how some figured the plot - that the EU wanted access to our natural resources and were willing to use force (by proxy) to get it - seemed plausible if international relations deteriorated sufficiently.

I'm no fan of the Chinese government, but

1) their authoritarianism both kick-started this epidemic and bungled the initial response

2) AND seems to have contained the epidemic once its severity was understood.

The US and many other developed countries seem to be on track to bungling their initial response, as well. That's pretty inexcusable since they've had the benefit of months to prepare.

The US government should have paid to build up a test kit stockpile in February, but I guess now we get to see how badly free market principles handle an epidemic.
