I've been using Keepass for years now, combined with Keepass2Android on my phone. I recently (finally) got that setup working perfectly by setting up Syncthing between my phone and computers.

Combined with an InputStick which emulates a keyboard to type a password from my phone into a computer it's plugged into, and I can efficiently get all my secrets around without involving anyone's cloud in an unencrypted capacity.

EDIT: I will note I've never bothered having browser integration though.
I personally have very mixed feelings about Trump as a whole. On the one hand, I didn't vote for him. I see him as divisive and as an obstacle for progress on real issues that I personally care about.

However, he has done a few things that I have sincere appreciation for. Primarily, we made significant gains towards peace in the middle east by negotiating treaties in the region. Another point in the win column (leading up the covid) was the economy. And the last major thing I cared about was reducing the US dependence on Chinese goods and labor (which are made so affordable due to inhumane practices).

Regarding authoritarianism, he has a mixed track record. He had a thing for executive orders, but he also let the states largely handle the civil unrest and covid in the manner they saw fit.

With that having been said, Trump was a Democrat for a long time, and was certainly not a typical political establishment individual. I find it difficult to attribute him to either party.
How about inciting his supporters to attempt to halt the transition of power? It seems like you conveniently forgot about that while drawing your false equivalence.
Lockdown Scepticism Was Never a ‘Fringe’ Viewpoint – Quillette
It's true that anything can be changed. Improvement, however, is a form of value attribution. It's always in the eye of the beholder. It's totally valid to hold different ideas on how things ought to be improved.

It's important to acknowledge that and bring that to the table. Even worse, compromising for the sole sake of signing a contract is a risky proposition. Projects fail because visions and ideas are being sold without acknowledging the reality represented in the limitations of existing technological solutions or infrastructure that needs to be maintained.
Here's a project idea I'd really like to see: A version of Chromium, targeted at web developers, that is is modified to accept TypeScript syntax as a variant of JavaScript.

This hypothetical browser wouldn't perform type-checking, just be able to parse TS syntax and convert it to plain JS, in the same way tools like Babel do.

This would let you use TypeScript without the need for any transformation pipeline in dev. You could then separately run TypeScript in a console to get async checking. Then only when you build for production do you run everything through a compiler/bundler to get a plain JS bundle that will work in everyone's browsers.
I reached a kind of tipping point recently where it has started to happen to me (based in eastern Europe and active on LinkedIn). I was kind of flattered, until I began to see the patterns emerge, and how 'industrial' it is.
You may be surprised to learn that even bad actors can choose innocuous names! They often don't if coming up with and maintaining names tends to be more expensive than it's worth when you're just going to burn them as they get caught, but it's totally viable for e.g. a targeted scenario.
I think it's natural for an expert in any field to be frustrated by the general public's lack of expertise. Indeed, as true expertise seems to become less and less common, I don't think it's unusual for this frustration to increase. I think this is the reason for the absurd notion that "everybody should learn to code" that was fairly pervasive on Hacker News a few years back. Thankfully that seems to have died down...

As far as trusting the actual experts to make good decisions and tell the truth, that's tough. It seems to me that so many people are just out to get a quick buck. Often that means exaggerating and/or twisting the truth to suit a particular narrative. I'm not anti-capitalist, but there is clearly room for improvement to the system.

>I wonder if Netflix will ever move in this space: [...], and could vet creators before accepting them on the platform

But vetting creators doesn't address the fundamental issue causing the creator's temporary shutdown: security heuristics used to flag unauthorized/compromised access is very hard

Similar examples I've personally experienced across other domains:

- Citi credit-card blocks my card when I was on vacation in Canada and tried to buy shoes from the store.

- Chase Bank locks all my online accounts from any logins when I try to transfer $20 to a friend's bank account. The only way to unlock it was to drive to a physical branch and present 2 forms of ID. Even after the bank employee unlocked the account, the effect wasn't immediate and was still locked for several hours. I then retried the exact same $20 bank transfer and it worked.

- Rackspace hosted email service locks out my coworker's email account (that's on my paid plan) because of suspicious activity. It turns out her laptop had a hidden virus that compromised her email account and was sending out spam.

Other than the Rackspace example, the false-positives are inevitable because no heuristic to detect unusual behavior is perfect. Netflix would also have the same false-positives and lock/shutdown creators channels which triggers similar headlines: "Netflix shutdown my channel..."

To point back to your idea, I was already vetted by my bank with physical forms of ID when I there to sign papers and open the account -- and yet they still locked me out years later for suspicious activity. You see how vetting doesn't really solve this Youtuber's problem?

Or there's nobody to blame and we're stuck in a very shitty local maximum. Developers want to deploy to every device on the globe instantaneously, users want to get their software without having to fight with the IT department, and while everybody was looking at the JVM as the runtime to beat the browser was picking up features like some demented katamari.

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself--It's remarkably bad hardware design that there is a "correct" port (or set of ports) on what appears to be a perfectly symmetrical system (on the outside), but with no markings on the system to indicate _which_ is correct.

Maybe it didn’t really come across I am totally in the performance camp and love to be able to craft a beautiful, lean and responsive UI if nothing else than for seeing the joy on users’ faces when they are delighted (amazed!) that what they wanted done happened so fast.

But time and time again I see that projects with a fast “enough” interfaces and flexible systems win out on more specialized, faster ones. And I hate that but here we are. Sometime we see a really performant piece of software hit the sweet spot of functionality for a while (for example sublime text) but then get overtaken by a fast enough but more flexible alternative (vacode)

I don't think the process would be less effective if papers were published without peer review, but were then questioned and challenged in public debate under editorial moderation.

Peer review isn't a single-goal process. It exists to introduce citations of existing work if they aren't already referenced, to question assumptions, and to find obvious errors. (Among others.)

All of these could be done in peer debate.

It's not as if the process is genuinely anonymous anyway. Of course it pretends to be, but it isn't.

Peer review dates from the days when information travelled as fast as a horse, and it made sense to include a review stage for basic quality control.

I'm not convinced it's a good model now, when information exchange is rather quicker.

The real problem is that journal publication is about career status, not about quality of work. Peer review is almost a side issue.

The scientific publishing industry is not just financially parasitic, it also introduces unnecessary delays in idea exchange. Public peer debate would eliminate some of that friction, but it would also have public consequences for reputation - and that might well be more effective for quality control than pseudo-anonymity.
I play several instruments and this is a correct analysis, but I would also add that resonance plays a huge part in the emphasis of certain frequency ranges. An acoustic guitar resonates through the body to emphasize and amplify the vibrations of the guitar strings, and in fact the shape and composition of the body will emphasize different ranges in completely different ways. The strings also cause sympathetic vibrations in each other, further adding to the resonance and contributing to the tonal quality (timbre) of even a single note.

No mention of git. If it's not on the global information tracker, it ain't science. There's no excuse anymore.

Let me repeat because this is important. If you aren't putting your research in Git, and publishing the repo, and are instead doing things like PDFs and Docs and private datasets, please don't call yourself scientist (exception: "bench" folks who are grinding out the data and not too involved in the analysis/publishing process). That was acceptable 50 years ago, but the environment has changed. That is not acceptable anymore. I don't care if that's not how academia does it. It's so obviously the right thing to do.

You usually have three models:
- pay for publish and read: big tabloid journals, large medical maf... associations. Cost to publish is usually below $1000, cost to read is $5-$20 a page

- pay for read, free to publish: most journals from the big publishers. Cost is between $5 to $20 a page.

- pay to publish, free to read: the model of most Open Access journals. Some big publishers are proposing that as an option as well. Cost of that option is usually $3000 to $5000 per article.
A dedicated server seems like overkill. A shared VPS works fine for many realtime applications, even fast-paced games that host 50 players concurrently that send out updates every 32 milliseconds, like agar.io, diep.io, or vnav.io.

If I wanted lower latency, I would add WebRTC-based P2P chat for those who support it, to connect directly between servers.

You might be surprised how much buying breakfast and listening and also trusting your own heart and boundaries can do. Be vulnerable with him too.

I would recommend that he gets support to heal his trauma and find himself again.

People can heal and change at any age. A men’s group; a good somatic therapist and psychedelics can go a long way.

Also, just being a friend, letting him vent and not trying to fix him. See if you can hold space and bring some clarity to what he sees his next steps as.

Try to notice where is pain triggers in you your own unhealed parts, and pay attention and be with those feelings instead of trying to “fix” him or push him away to avoid feeling them.

Really appreciate your vulnerability and honestly here.

If we can help him at TryWithin.com with his trauma, we’d be honored.
I am curious about this as well. With all the debates in the threads here about this codec, I think it would be worth having the folks at Mumble [1] (murmur server) incorporate it as an option so people could fire up an instance and put it to the test. That of course only works if the license is compatible. They compare the performance to Opus which is used currently by Mumble.

I have had a few papers submitted during the pandemic and the time limits given to the reviewer and the time the reviewer actually takes varies drastically. For example, one of my papers was under its second round of peer review for nearly four months. I have colleagues in similar positions with their papers as well.

I do think a monetary incentive would speed up the peer review process if the pay rate was cut for late review submissions.

Taco Bell owner Yum Brands buys A.I. business to improve marketing
Hi all,

Just finished my latest project, building an AI art installation at home, generating 100 % unique artworks on the fly. Tired of an artwork? Just push the button below the screen and another one will be displayed. When the button has been pushed, the old artwork is deleted and can't be retrieved again.

I started out the project to get more familiar with edge computing and sensor integration, but quite fast gained an interest in the art aspect of the installation. By adding a dimension where an artwork you like is just a button-push away from being deleted, it actually makes you enjoy it more.

Setup:

* An Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX was used for all logic, machine learning inference, art kiosk GUI etc.

* A StyleGAN was used to generate the artworks, trained on ~5k images of abstract art.

* A passive infrared sensor (SR602) was integrated with the Jetson to reduce screen burn-in. When no movement has been detected around the installation within a pre-defined threshold, the screen shuts off until movement is detected.

* A custom control box was built, encapsulating most of the electronics.

I've seen it but it seems to be mostly idle. And they are defining a new server-to-server API instead of using Web Push which seems like unnecessary duplicated work and requires new server-side client libraries and server implementations. Furthermore they don't support e2e encryption yet.
If you read the court ruling (in some comment around here, but in french) it makes things a little bit more clear.

- publisher not asking for the source code, they want GM copies

- publisher didn’t demand source code according to contract ( they state publisher asked for code, but there is no indication they demanded )

- they didn’t deliver the game, at least drm free and for steam

- publisher usually has non exclusive usage right to IP

But most important, they contacted steam etc and delisted game still appeal process was going, citing IP reasons.

Also they are even defensing that delaying steam release didnt cause any harm to the publisher.

They are acting in bad faith clearly.

The value of TypeScript is a function of the codebase size, size of team, and length of time for maintaining this codebase.

If you're an individual, putting together dinky little web sites that you don't need to maintain for years - the value of TypeScript over JavaScript isn't as pronounced.

If you have a web application that counts hundreds of thousands of lines of code, maintained by team of developers over many years - JavaScript does not cut it ... at all.

In addition to sibling poster, and while they've gone in an unfortunate cloud sub direction overall, it's still possible to buy an entirely standalone non-subscription normal license for 1Password and sync vaults via Dropbox, iCloud for those in the Apple ecosystem, a folder, or manually via WiFi. You can then use an application firewall or anything similar to monitor all network connections. At least from what I've seen 1Password makes only the expected connections needed for their own services for things like auto update checks, Watchtower (a typical local compromise check system with k-anonymity, their page here [0]), and sync. All of them can be disabled with no effect beyond the expected of those functions not happening.

I do wish we lived in a world where things had gone a bit differently and LAN had gained more of a role in all this, and one could pay for and run their own 1Password server. Of course for that matter passwords and they exist now shouldn't exist at all, it should all be public keys. Password managers themselves are a form of collective madness and horrible path dependency. And in principle 1P could maybe do some form of exclusive first party tracking and simply give up on whomever didn't talk to them. But for now at the least they still have the option to avoid dependencies on them pretty well.

RAID is an abstraction layer on top of the physical disks.

RAID 1 (mirrored drives) is similar to what the IA have described, but it sounds like they are creating their mirrors using simple file system commands (or tools like rsync) rather than introducing the complexity and overhead of hardware/software RAID.

Other forms of RAID (e.g. RAID 5/6) where data is spread across an array of drives with parity, would provide the IA with additional redundancy but at the expense of significantly increased cost and complexity.
