I've never used 1Password, but both LastPass and Bitwarden support hardware tokens like Yubikey for two-factor authentication. Keeping the encrypted store locally might give you some edge, but I personally need to be able to access secrets from more than one device, and once you allow external access then the advantage of your solution compared to hosted services disappears.
> Wouldn’t that violate the rule that userspace can’t crash the kernel?

A program that accesses same memory location from different cores at the same time won’t crash, as long as the address is good. You’ll just get random garbage in your memory. Concurrent updates by CPU and DMA devices is equally fine, again garbage out is the only result you’ll get.

If you corrupt things like that due to a concurrency bug in your userspace code, you may get garbage in your memory, garbage in your files, but I don’t see why would it crash the kernel?

> On Windows this is solved by using the memory protection provided by the cpu and Structured Exception Handling

Switching memory protection is relatively expensive. Also memory protection doesn’t have byte granularity: you can allocate a 4kb buffer (a single page), view it as a circular buffer with four 1kb-long pieces, and use that circular buffer for streamed I/O.

It’s the same on Windows. Check the docs for WriteFileEx, it says “This buffer must remain valid for the duration of the write operation. The caller must not use this buffer until the write operation is completed.” but I don’t think you gonna get any SEH if you ignore what’s written there, and use the buffer in the meantime.
It blows my mind how you can be smart enough to use Linux and still use a proprietary closed source "password manager" on it.

If it was something unimportant, like a game, ok. But a password manager? The key to all your digital life and secrets...

And in addition from an American company that will upload your (encrypted) passwords to a cloud in US?

And in addition, I find it deceptive that they try to confuse the potential users by pretending to be somehow involved or concerned by open source.

See this exchange for example:

Not the person you asked, but although I'm in the tech field now, I worked as a shipyard welder for a couple of years after the first .com crash.

It was, by far, the most meritocratic, friendly and diverse workplace environment I've worked in, compared to my computer-related jobs. Payed well, too. If it wasn't for the (literal) toxic environment that is unavoidable in ship-welding, I'd likely have stayed longer.
Where are you seeing that they are going after individuals criminally?

I did read the article, and it says nothing of the sort. Just that they're not ruling it out.
Masslight Launches a Build for Equity Model
> I still haven't seen the harm to the consumers.

IMO the main problem is the existence of an institution that is (arguably) more powerful than any government in the world.

That's not necessarily a problem on its own.

It becomes a problem when those same institutions have a very small number of people with specially concocted classes of shares that give people like Zuckerberg majority control of the company despite owning < 30% of actual shares.

I don't want to live in a world where 1 person can have such immense and unchecked power. Especially when that 1 person is immune from, for example, being removed as CEO.

I'm not sure if it's still the case today, but I believe Sergy / Larry had 51%+ control of the company despite only owning ~10% of shares.
Amazing that they can achieve that yet I'm in the bay area and I'm in a never-ending war with Comcast to achieve 50mbp/s

Twitch is a streaming service, not a video hosting service. The amount of views the vast majority of vods get on Twitch is abysmal, and by default those vods are only kept for a minimal amount of time.

Youtube is attempting to move into Twitch’s space with live-streaming, but Twitch is certainly not competing with youtube as a video hosting product. Vimeo is the primary competitor there, and I have no idea how good a job they’re doing really.
Leaves on the tracks is no joke, I found those Network Rail posters pretty amusing :)

https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/leaves-on-the-...
I mentioned F1 focusing more on the strategy of when and how early to shift, how to enter and leave corners, when to push the tires harder, what lap to switch from hard to soft tires, remembering the layout of the track, understanding spatially how close racers can get without crashing, when to activate DRS and overtake, and most importantly the constant calculation needed to find optimal lines while driving. Not to mention how drivers need to adapt based on weather conditions.

I'm not sure why you think it's a bad example of cognitive performance. Reaction time is a type of cognitive performance. I am not sure how time taken to move was incorporated as a signal used in the methods in this paper but how quickly a person is able to play an optimal move is just as much of an indicator of cognitive performance as finding the right move is. Adrenalin control is also about being able to focus and getting in "the zone" and that is very much a proxy to cognitive performance. And to a certain degree, it's very much not controllable at all on a conscious level, but you get the same "rush" in chess when you worry whether an opponent is going to see whatever tactic or strategy you're pursuing in a game. And I'm not sure what you mean by extreme physicality, do you mean having to keep (arguable unhealthy) weight standards or do you mean the G-forces the driver undergoes?

In my opinion the cognitive load of racing at those high speeds is just as taxing as chess, maybe different learned skills are empathized. Other than extreme physicality, Bullet and Blitz chess require reaction time and adrenalin control too.
Even if that made sense, a court cannot reasonably order such a thing. The site source code can only be released if it can be made GPL-compatible, which may not be possible. For instance, it may be relying on some proprietary third-party piece.

In fact, quite the opposite, the code could be such that if it were being distributed in source form, that activity would have to be ordered to cease.
You still haven't substantiated your opinion in any way.
For anybody who is interested in this stuff, I was the CTO of a Canadian geothermal company, and I became convinced that it was folly to dig 4km down to get hot water when we are surrounded by waste heat in large industrial plants that is largely untapped.

By way of example, I was working on a geothermal plant in Alberta that would generate 5MW and cost $60 million (CDN) to build. Similar heat can be found everywhere at surface, especially in Alberta which has a heavy industrial base. Harnessing the heat from industrial sources is exactly the same as a geothermal plant: only the source of heat is different.

For example, I scoped a project on a natural gas pipeline compressor station. It used a RB211 gas turbine to drive the compressor. Capturing the waste heat from the exhaust stack of that engine gave us 7MW of net generation, at a cost of $30 million, and much lower operating expenses to boot.

58% of the energy we generate each year is lost, much of it (upwards of 20%) as industrial waste heat. That's terajoules of electrical generation potential globally, just from the easily captured stuff.

It's not exactly like geothermal energy, because you have counterparty risk in that the cement factory (or whatever) might close. But the tech is identical to geothermal, and there's no exploration risk or digging expense.

Yes.

But all surviving monotremes live in and around the water, in places where they mostly compete with marsupials. Marsupials have an advantage on dry land. But if a marsupial mother with babies in her pouch swam, she'd drown them. So monotremes have an advantage in the water.

Placentals, of course, usually outcompete both. With occasional exceptions, such as the success of opossums in North America.
There's been a ton of code that I've written that in retrospect, I should never have written.

But I've never regretted when I wrote a parser. Maybe because it takes such a large activation energy to get over the hump and actually do it, that I only do it when absolutely necessary. But it always seems easier and more useful than I thought before doing it.

Now that this post has prompted that realization, I wonder if it will stay true...
You're arguing with mitsuhiko, he's given entire talks on this subject.

PyPy is faster for pure Python code, but that comes at the expense of having a far slower interface with C code. There's an entire ecosystem built around the fact that while Python itself is slow, it can very easily interface with native code (Numpy, Scipy, OpenCV) with very little overhead.

So sure, you can make Python much faster, if you're willing to piss off the very Python users who care the most about performance in the first place (the data science / ML people and anyone else using native extensions).
Interesting idea. With populations increasingly getting older in the west, the future belongs to the old. Helping them live better lives is a great opportunity.
It really depends where you go in Europe. In German mobile connections are notoriously bad. I've had moments where I'm standing in the middle of Aachen struggling to get a single byte through. Then there's Belgium (especially Flanders) where I can't remember the last time I didn't have at least solid HSPA+ available.
> Who knows, maybe in 10 years we'll all be like "Quibi was really ahead of it's time"

From what I've observed, this only happens in two cases:

* Where there was a fan base that loved the product but it just didn't work out.

* Where there was legitimate innovation behind the offering that can't be fully realized.

I don't think Quibi hits either of these points. There might be other signals I haven't thought through, but these are the 2 main ones I've been able to piece together for when people attribute a company being "ahead of its time".
It's slow for me, on a 32 core Threadripper with a Titan RTX ;)

Not knocking the project, which sounds cool, but the absolute last thing I want to self host is a password database exposed to the internet. Hard pass on that element.

1password used to have a peer to peer sync mode that I loved. No need for a server anywhere. You would open it on your Mac and then open it on your phone and if they were on the same network they would self discover. Too inconvenient, perhaps, for most users, but for the paranoid like me, it was ideal -- no servers involved at all.

(Technically, wifi sync I believe still exists IF you use 1password on Mac with a old style local vault, but it's basically unsupported. Mine just stopped working and I switched to 1password.com.)
M20-114 NASA to Announce New Science Results About Moon
Sounds like low-hanging fruit. But not really scalable. A 7MW plant sounds OK for some applications. But a really big geothermal plant might compete with nuclear.
It's interesting that they state that the train was moving, but not how fast. My understanding was that one of the challenges with doing good mobile broadband on trains (esp. for VoIP applications) is how seamlessly you manage the handover between cells makes a big difference to real-world usability. If the train was going pretty slowly that would obviously make your time-per-cell a lot higher / % of time spent performing handoff a lot lower...
People love talking about intelligence but I'm yet to see a measurable definition. The best anyone can manage is "you know it when you see it" (like porn). Am I missing something or is this all just a dark road to an unknown destination (possibly just a dead end?)

The pandemic has only enhanced the value of the public school system for me.

Now, I know that not all teachers, schools, districts, etc., are created equally and everyone has different experiences.

How do you know your child is well suited for KA? And what do you do if a learning disability of some form is discovered at some point? Dyslexia and ADHD may not be apparent until well into elementary school.

Do you or KA have the ability to recognize if there even is one? If so, what do you do? What resources or support do you have to navigate it?

We have experienced this with one of our children. Teachers, staff and administration have been amazing. The support are resources are incredible. We have seen our child flourish with their help, our child's pediatrician and our involvement, of course. But we could not have replicated that on our own.

And the social aspect cannot be understated. We look to involve our kids with friends and family and organizations and activities outside of school and our home, but there are many constraints around this, particularly now. I see public school as an important testing ground for the eventual reality of existing in a society that isn't solely constructed for your own success.

KA will always be there. And you may find that a more traditional setting isn't right or is limiting your child in some way. Or you may find that it is a great place for them and that they also bring positive benefits to the system that our entire society relies on to work well.
Seconded. I tried a lot of other ones before settling for Bitwarden about two years ago. It's easily the best and most hassle-free one that covers all of my use cases. (Tried LastPass, Keepass, 1password, and a couple others)
A big problem with companies like Google is that they do not like to disclose their reasons for terminating or flagging accounts. It's probably a policy that's intended to stop people from figuring out what they watch for and gaming the system. But if the Twitter user legitimately did nothing wrong and really is out thousands of dollars, then he should seek legal council.
That's exactly right. And Firefox has that profile functionality too.

> strengthened by the fact that no other company can offer services (above mentioned) that match the quality of the product Google is giving.

This is somewhat similar to TikTok's situation. There's currently no other company that can offer services that match the quality of the product TikTok is giving. The US government's solution? Force ByteDance to divest unless it wants to get banned. This is Big Tech protectionism, perfected.

In the same vein, the US is going to force Google to break itself into fragments. This can also be seen as a Big Tech protectionist measure, because Google has no incentive to improve its monopolistic byproducts. In fact, it routinely kills them. Spinoff companies of Google will compete with each other and undoubtedly yield much better (and pro-consumer) products, no matter which way you look at it.
The cynicism in this comment really bums me out. You think it's ok to give customers a buggy product, and expect them to report the bugs, because they don't really have a choice and every other product is buggy too. You say you don't like the situation, but you're doing nothing to challenge it either.

Is your motto "When life gives you lemons, make a market for lemons?"
In the section around core technology. I'm curious about this statement:

Wow, thank you very much for this link!

This is very inspiring.

First, there is an impressive overlap with what I like and what I have been doing. The notes on the piano, the parser, on GraphViz and on React all hit very close if not exactly things I've thought about or programmed.

Second, the means of presenting things is awesome too. I get lost very easily so there are probably ways to improve but this is very clever and interesting. The creativity and pedagogy here is incredible at all levels.

I am very impressed.

Low code sounds like the worst of all worlds - non developers can’t do shit in it bc they don’t write code, and developers would hate the guts of it bc it’s all using some custom dsl with unknown quirks and limitations. And management will be wondering what are they paying for in the end if all these people can’t <do that damn one weird thing that I got asked about in some customer demo>, and then would fire everyone and scrap the tool.
Not free as in beer, but free as in freely auditable/accessible. Trusting your life to a black box controlled by other people is a lot to ask.
I love trains and I'm a EU-born US resident, so I get it.
