You stayed away from Mob Psycho because “journalists” liked it and drew meaning from it? What a sad life that must be.

What I find interesting about anime reviews, as opposed to video game ones IMO, is more often than not the review is about what the writer got out of it as opposed to trying to set expectations for the audience on what they will get out of it. I guess in a lot of ways that’s because anime reviews often happen after the fact or are spurred on by genuine excitement. It seems very rare that someone publishing the review is doing so because the media was dropped in their lap and they were told to review the first three episodes for the release.

I like that, and it works pretty well for video essays.

Nobody remembers real passwords so they come up with frameworks to have a pattern that meets policy.

I did a consulting engagement a few years ago where we cracked 60% of passwords in a 40k user directory in under 3 hours, on a laptop. Every password met NIST complexity requirements of the time.

We tried the pi4 for a project where we had to playback 4-6 videos simultaneously. As far as I could tell, it was properly configured for hardware decoding. It bogged down noticeably after 3 videos and was barely capable of doing 4. On paper it looked great; in real life not so much.

Ended up going with a NUC for that part of the project and it worked great. The other aspects of the project that didn't need video (we had close to a dozen total displays), the pi did just fine.
I didn't mean there was no downside, certainly not. Just that it didn't seem as needful to me.

You're right. None of those people account for the time value of money. If I could get an interest only mortgage I would (where I literally pay to rent the money). There are so many better things I can do with a few hundred thousand dollars now.

If you have the money to pay off your mortgage, why not buy a second house with it and rent that out? Let someone pay your mortgage while you get the appreciation? Or invest it in something else?

If you do the math, renting almost always comes out ahead of owning, as long as you invest the difference in something that gains in value.

The main reason to own is for psychological reasons. It's great if you have kids and want a place for them, or yourself, to call home.
I have read those, and have built a few side-projects in Elm. There is a large difference between 'the community' as in the folks deciding of the future of the language, and 'the community' aka the huge majority of the users of the language.
Elm has one of the most welcoming communities I've ever seen.
They are ready to explain the same concepts again and again in their slack and many of them (quite a few being here in the comments actually) are not only helpful in Elm, but wholesome humans as well.

Elm is IMHO extremely friendly, especially to newcomers. The leadership style however is up for debate but that's another story.

I wouldn't bet my company on Elm personally, but I can't recommend it enough for side projects and folks interested in learning more FP or simply for fun.

The primary issue in colorblindness is:

1) One confuses two types of colors as the same one (e.g. red-green, blue-yellow, etc. colorblind) or

2) Colors that are close together appear to be the identical (Like the case that I saw, half of the row looked exactly the same to me, the the entire row looked the same until I looked close).

Perhaps a mix of shapes and colors would make it more obvious? Or constrasting the border colors too to hightlight closer difference (like if you have "f8" and "f0", which has a hamming distance of 1, you make the boarder somehow highlight the differences.

During the quarantine, I started photographing on film, developing the film at home and digitize the negatives using my DSLR. At least for B/W film, the process of developing film yourself is dead easy and I'm happy to have a hobby away from my computer. Also, having a price per picture and only a limited amount of shots helps me actually think about composing nice pictures instead of taking 5 almost identical images and moving on.

In general, film photography is having a comeback. Prices for used film cameras skyrocketed in the last years for a few models.

Personally, I find photographing on film really rewarding. Having a physical product in the end (be it a print of the image or only the negatives) makes the process more enjoyable. So if you have some old film cameras lying around, I can only recommend giving them a try. Maybe there are even old films with old memories in these cameras.

> Don't we already have enough gatekeeping in software development?

No. In fact I hope anyone who's actually worked in the software industry would see that we don't have nearly enough!

Look I'll agree with you about the evils of gatekeeping if we're talking about who gets to call themselves an artist or a writer. Those kinds of distinctions rarely create life or death consequences.

But software can. Not all the time, but certainly in medical, airplane control, banking and financial, and many many more areas.

I wish software would take notes from other engineering fields like structural or architectural. Can you imagine an engineer building a bridge who was like "I don't want to do the boring stuff like stress analysis or geological surveys, I just want to make cool shapes and build them!" Can you imagine trusting your life to a bridge built like that?

Software increasingly runs our world and real software engineers who work on things that really actually matter know they have a responsibility to "do all the boring things" because those things are essential to doing their job right. Hearing about major hacks and exploits every day like SolarWinds, Experian, Facebook that expose our personal information and put us at risk makes me feel like we desperately need more gatekeeping in our field to keep cowboys and hackers from getting the chance to get anywhere near these systems.

I've been in this career for 20 years and the thing I learn more and more is that writing code is perhaps the most trivial aspect of what we do. It's everything around it -- the process, the testing, the security, the collaboration and how teams and organizations operate that are the real challenges to be solved. Anyone can hack together some working code. The hard part is the systems and organizational structures in which it operates.

There are plenty of things to work on in software which are of no real consequence, but as the OP is finding it's pretty difficult to find someone who wants to pay you to work on something which has no value. That's called a hobby not a profession.

> Microsoft employee Aaron Margosis said the requirement is an “ancient and obsolete mitigation of very low value.”

That kind of magical thinking is what got us mandatory password rotation in the first place.

Password rotation has a kernel of truth: automated credential rotation really works, and sometimes you need to force manual rotations to migrate to a newer hash algorithm, and I'll bring up another reason for it.

But the main reason we have password rotation is people have some magical belief that a credential gets "old" so we have to freshen it up.

Security rules are the same: they work, or they don't, and that can be very complicated due to human factors. But they don't "get old" and magically lose their effectiveness. If password rotation is broken, it's always been broken.

> Chief among them, the requirements encourage end users to choose weaker passwords than they otherwise would. A password that had been “P@$$w0rd1” becomes “P@$$w0rd2” and so on.

Not true. If they hadn't been forced to rotate, they would have stuck with P@$$w0rd1 the whole time, and P@$$w0rd2 is not weaker than that.

> At the same time, the mandatory changes provide little security benefit, since passwords should be changed immediately in the event of a real breach rather than after a set amount of time prescribed by a policy.

There is a clear benefit, especially for large enterprise systems: a periodic password change does put a limit on when the attacker could have used the password.

So when a credential is exploited, if you're rotating yearly, you only need to search back at most a year to figure out the scope of the breach.

I don't know how much of a benefit this is, in practice. Maybe someone who has done a real log dive can comment.

The only certainty is that you must never have passwords older than logs.

3D printers aside (I don't know enough to comment), literally everyone I've seen who claims e-ink is held back by patents is either 1) speculating or 2) repeating hearsay and can't provide a source.

Regardless of the issues with patents in general, in the specific context of e-ink it's an unsubstantiated myth until someone provides some hard evidence.

E-ink patent speculation is especially problematic because everyone on HN agrees that patents are a problem, so it sounds truthy and people want to repeat it as an example of the evils of patents.

I once had a brief contract helping out a two-person Rails consultancy where pretty much all they did was follow RailsCasts.

They got very angry at me several times for not doing things "the Rails way". We were on Rails 4, which I already had loads of experience with. The RailsCasts they were following were written for Rails 2. They literally had no idea all of the ways Rails had moved on between those versions.

Their codebase was an absolute mess as well. This was an application that was supposed to contain medical records and it had broken routes that were leaking data everywhere unauthenticated. And they were mad that I spent two weeks cleaning all of that up and bulletproofing their application.

I was happy to move on from that one, but it taught me a lesson about just how valuable sales skills are. These two people were living a comfortable lifestyle off a single paying client (essentially getting money indirectly through DARPA) and were punching way above their weight technically.

Saw Lain growing up. Quite fond of it. Pretty weak at predicting the future. You know who was pretty good at it? Isaac Asimov (spoilers ahead). My favorite example:

Protagonist visits a highly advanced planet where everyone lives on their own plot of land. People lead lives of leisure, all of their needs are taken care of by highly efficient robots. However, they are terrified of physical contact, especially with the protagonist, due to a risk of infection with off-planet viruses. Here’s where it gets kinda scary:

- all interactions are done via advanced telepresence. It’s been perfectly replicated to mimic physical interaction. People only meet in person, apprehensively, for reproductive purposes

- one of the main supporting characters is an extreme extrovert who subliminally craves physical human contact. Due to society’s rules, the only thing she’s able to do is take lots of socially distanced telepresence walks with a friend.

They decided against it, I believe because ClockPro was too complicated (but maybe NIH?). Instead they devised their own algorithm, DClock, borrowing ideas but is also different [1]. They use an ad hoc sizing rule (50%-99%) [2] which can dramatically impact its performance, neither extreme being universally better. When reimplementing their algorithm for analysis, the hit rates skewed towards being okay but not great [3]. You can compare ClockPro [4] and DClock [5] in the simulator.

The fact that there's no way to fork gold.

Gold is a scheme (not quite a ponzi scheme) in which we've all agreed to maintain the delusion that it's a good marker for totting up wealth. It happens to have nice material properties for that, and it's nearly unique in those properties. The main one being that you can't print more of it.

BTC has a lot of those properties... as does Doge, as does Ethereum, as does Bitcoin Cash, and every other cryptocurrency. BTC has the name recognition -- which it shares with gold -- and in doing so may or may not become Gold 2.0.

But once we've realized that there can be Gold 2.0, why not Gold 3.0, 4.0, etc.? Only gold can ever be gold 1.0. Even adding silver and platinum and such doesn't really substantially diminish that uniqueness. Whereas there's no one crypto... which means that the "you can't print more of it" goes away. The Dogecoin guy did it. So do thousands of others, every day.

Maybe BTC will become the one and only Gold 2.0 and it'll stop there, and if so it'll have a value of some sort -- hard to say what, but eventually it'll reach some kind of equilibrium. Until it reaches that point, it has only its hope to be The crypto, and for the moment that relies on a continuous flow of new investors.

> It's kind of a throwaway passage in the article but it feels like a crucial point. Maybe I'm wrong but "buying off" to me strongly suggests something along the lines of a bribe. We're going to give you this cash, nudge nudge, wink wink, maybe that negative stuff you print about us goes away. My question is: is this actually happening?

My question is: Do you really need to ask that? Human nature is human nature; there's little doubt that it's happening to some extent. Virtually impossible that it's not happening at all.

The problem to me seems quite similar to campaign contributions in politics. Yes, it's indirect, and all parties can say it's innocent, no strings attached, the elected representative is not "required" to do anything. Those are words that help people ignore the reality of human nature. Money is influence.
> and property values sometimes fall

While this is true in the short term, except for very rare exceptions, you'd be hard pressed to find a property in the United States that is worth less now than 30 years ago (which is the standard length of a mortgage). I don't know about other countries, but I suspect it's the same in any modern economy. Land is scarce, and no one is making more of it.

I'm surprised that this article hasn't gotten more attention on HN, despite having been posted several times over the years. It's the classical story of a startup (the bookmarking site Pinboard) entering a market with an established player (Delicious) and succeeding by listening to their user base. It's also the story from the other side: how Delicious lost their users by removing features from their site without knowing how important they were to a core group of users.
