My bachelor study in IT / Sofware Engineering had a required communications class every semester. It was pretty useless it was all about conventions, What does a letter look like. How many words should be in a power point. Just the boring stuff. But one insight that I still remember and use nowadays is that if you find it hard to talk to people, then you should just use more conventions: Say hello more often to get yourself in a talking mood, having nothing to talk about anymore? just look around, observe something and say, hey i see ...

Yeah it's possible Apple is getting on board here because they opened up Safari up a bit but found that people were not beating down their door. I'd be curious to know if you did — I didn't port mine, even though I already have a developer account from my iOS app.
I've had 3 x1 extremes and I just can't do it anymore. A major drawback is declining build quality. When you couple that with Lenovo's 3 week turnaround on hardware repairs, it's painful. Don't get fooled by specs, they only tell half the story.

Latinx is a term invented and used by US cultural colonialists, that's both subjugating and xenophobic.
If you use a password manager and your computer gets compromised, you are screwed either way, whether you use a password manager or not.
No he did not. He gave a "direction". Which, legally, means almost nothing.

> “Going forward, consistent with the President’s direction, this Department of Justice – in a change to its longstanding practice – will not seek compulsory legal process in leak investigations to obtain source information from members of the news media doing their jobs,” Anthony Coley, Justice Department spokesman, said in a statement.

They are changing a "practice".

One uses laws to prevent practices one does not like, not "directions".
Makes sense. I feel like both of these arguments are oversimplifications.

If you feel personally attacked by this, there is probably a reason for it. The question you brought up wasn’t about combat sports. It was about “males who identify as females in women’s spaces”. And the thing is, this is a settled question by and large: it’s none of your business what’s in someone else’s underpants.

Oh and give me your lunch money while I’m at it bullying you :). I’m so sorry to hurt your strong person feelings (wait, I thought only Berkeley snowflakes got their feelings hurt/could be bullied).

One last bit: body dysmorphia is not a necessary condition to being trans. The way you cast a group of people around that diagnosis does seem to indicate that you see them as damaged and/or sick, which they are not. Trying to sound like you know what you are talking about while clearly having a cable news education on the subject makes you look worse, not better.

Good luck and learn to be a better human.
I think the article is conflating two points. Biden banned the practice of compelling journalists to provide the identity of their sources. That is totally unrelated to this subpoena, which is attempting to get a list of people that read a certain article.

Obviously it's also wrong to seek this information, but it's not what Biden was talking about in the quote.

>Lenovo’s 3 week turnaround on hardware repairs

Usually I’ve had the repair guy show up within 72 hours of me creating a ticket. 3 weeks is really odd where are you located?
Okay, awkward second reply to your edit.

> That assumes you chose to avail yourself at that time. If didn't feel like you had to use the bathroom at that time, you might neglect to do so anyway. Maybe because you were walking around outside your truck, and walking around somewhat suppresses that full-bladder sensation. Then you sit down in your truck and half an hour later, after a cup of coffee, you realize you have to piss. You're still 2 hours away from your next bathroom break, so what do you do? Is this a consequence of poor planning on the part of the driver? Maybe. But that's inevitably going to happen anyway.

If you've been doing the job for a while, this should be very rare. Or maybe you're new to the job and this happens a few times. But you can probably at least find some kind of fast food place at least.

If we assume the company is doing things right, needing to pee in a bottle is not going to routinely happen unless that driver has a medical condition or is an idiot. So if there is a persistent problem with needing to pee in bottles, I'm confident that the cause is something bigger than 2-3 hour drives. Something like "all the drivers are rushed all the time" or "there's nowhere good to go to the bathroom between drives" or simply "they have to deliver too many packages at once". Or "the drivers are intended to take breaks mid-trip, but there was no thought put into making sure bathrooms are available on those breaks".

Hmm, wouldn't that give you an orthographic or isometric projection, or another member of that family, rather than this crazy exponential thing?
A) It’s not a multimillion dollar home, and B) that’s not really relevant - the point is that WFH frees you from having to live in high cost areas, which means you can also afford an office in your house.
"We are deeply concerned by the blocking of Twitter in Nigeria. Access to the free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society."

Yet they see no irony in being self-appointed arbiters of who gets to say what including heads of state. By their very own statement they are violating the human rights of others by censoring and deplatforming users are they not?
My setup is almost identical, though I skip the browser plugins and let the password manager auto-paste into the browser. Keepass inside GDrive, job done. Very occasionally I'll make a copy out to a portable drive.

I've been running this setup for about a decade,since some big breach (I forget which one) made it clear to me that using the same or similar passwords across multiple sites was not gonna fly any longer.

The initial time investment was surprisingly heavy - I iterated through every online login I could find for myself (searching through email history mostly for signups confirmations) and changed the password on every account I had. Took about two full days.
This continues. Try to run multiple monitors and you'll melt your DIMMs.
To add on to that, it's been used pretty nicely in the El Zonte beach town [1].

So, for a series of video interviews I was conducting last summer through an outside agency, I decided to up my game and use my DSLR given that Canon's webcam software now supported my somewhat older model. Tested it and all. But when I did tech check with the agency they were having some problems with it (which they said were not uncommon) so I went back to my high-end Webcam which was fine.

ADDED: And things like this were the reason that the agency had half-hour tech checks with senior professionals before taping the interviews. (And still usually had us redo one or two segments because of glitches.)

I was also in a workshop last summer. Power was out for a couple of days. I used my cellphone but I have lousy reception where I live so it barely worked. Even drove to my local library to see if I could leach Internet from the parking lot but I couldn't.

So lots of out of control things can happen.

> Fact is, it’s far from a consensus in our society, unlike racial segregation. Call me the same as a racist? Fuck off :)

So the difference you see is on the current societal consensus? In my mind, the consideration of for example, certain authors of being racist as in their current societal consensus is more like an understatement of them being shaped by their society, not and endorsement of their racism. So yeah, and I said this as just a statement without intention to insult, I don't see much difference between some racist 70 years ago, and yourself right now.
Are you sure?

I was glued all the time to my computer on the internet as far back as 2002 - browsing forums and playing video games and self-learning programming from C++ tutorials here and there.

Yea, that's not 25 years ago, only 19 years ago.
That doesn’t make any sense at all. Wouldn’t that entirely be up to the codec used to encode? Why would shitty audio encoded with the same codec use substantially more bandwidth than cleaner audio? If anything I’d expect noise to be harder to encode.
Yes, this is exactly what I was getting at. Speed is one of the reasons to choose Rust/C/C++ over Python, but there's other compelling ones: static types, more control over execution, tight coupling to the OS, etc. To truly solve the two language problem, Julia should have APIs and coding styles which allow greater control, even if they're not used by everyone.

Because it's so closely integrated with C, Python actually does a decent job at this, which IMO is one of the reasons it's been so successful as a general purpose language in addition to a scientific one. I really hope Julia can do the same.

Off the top of my head, here are a few features I think would really improve Julia for general purpose programming:

- Static type checking (JET.jl[1] looks promising)

- Faster startup (again, great strides have been made)

- Tagged, closed unions

- Pattern matching

Just get a Ryzen CPU with business class gigabit internet and block display ads and third party cookies. The wild-eyed web frameworks and advertisements of our age were designed to consume the glut created by the cheapest silver status symbol, on which they now press the limits of not only bandwidth, but also CPUs and RAM too. For me I think it was around 2015 when I started feeling the heat of my Macbook scorching my legs each time I loaded a news website. I thought, oh my, am I being swept away by the performance tide already? So if your box is twice as fast as those things, then the modern web will feel fast. What's sad is most people aren't even granted that choice.
I get that nowadays the alternative to password managers is browsers. But they were mostly developed when the real alternative was trying to remember all those passwords, or duplicate them, or write them down somewhere.

I used to have random passwords scattered over multiple browsers, because I change browsers.

Then I got a password manager, and imported all my chrome passwords... and there were hundreds of them. All the old ones, all the weird little ones that I never cared about. It took me ages to clean this data set and delete all the crap.

So no... never going back to storing passwords in the browser, thanks. I realise that technically a malicious site could possibly mess with my password manager. But I'm more worried about what the browser is doing.
I was in the audience and was rolling my eyes at the theatrics. Maybe his emotions were genuine but I felt I was seeing an attempt at clear emotional manipulation. That being said a country (even a very small one like El Salvador) choosing to accept BTC as legal tender is a huge step forward for its utility as a currency and made me optimistic again about a crypto future that’s not just focused on “number go up” and cult-like herd mentality.
> One uses laws to prevent practices one does not like, not "directions".

If you want a law to prevent this I'm not sure why you're criticizing Biden. He is the President, no the Legislature.

If you think there should be a law, then your complaint should be for congress.
This is the best password manager I know:

It should solve your problems. It is not open source and costs money if you want to use it on your phone (which I don't). Saves everything. PW, CC, notes, certificates etc.

I don’t see the problem. North Face doesn’t want their logo and name smack dab next to oil and gas logos and names. I don’t think anyone is foolish enough to think their plastic and rubber clothing is made of something else. Nor do I think North Face is running some kind shady marketing pretending to be a green company. If the oil and gas companies are so upset they could start investing in making their own clothing line with some of their massive fortunes.

USD requires either a bank account or physical cash. This just needs a network connected device.
> but instead they got this weird compromise where ISPs had to each write their own policy which at some point included terminating the customer's account.

Given how disfunctional the US legal systems is, has anyone tried setting up a local ISP whose actually-enforced policy is to terminate accounts after, say, one billion distinct copyright strikes?
I will admit I did miss that delopment.

Weird question.. was 314a(b) one of those reauthorized pieces? I would assume so, but I am curious.
They want to limit their reliance on the US dollar. Also, 22% of their GDP is remittances, and remittance fees can be up to 50%.

From the bill:

- Central banks are increasingly taking actions that may cause harm to the economic stability of El Salvador

- That in order to mitigate the negative impact from central banks, it becomes necessary to authorize circulation of a digital currency with a supply that cannot be controlled by any central bank and is only altered in accord with objective and calculable criteria

> Avoiding paying more than the US rate doesn't require any of these shenanigans. They could just charge royalties to the US.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this

> Dividends are always much lower than profits, and many companies don't do them at all.

Dividends are lower than profits only for companies that have opportunities to reinvest profits into growth. For companies that don't, in principal, you'd expect dividends to be exactly profits.

> Shareholders already own those profits, and cash is reflected pretty directly in share prices. They don't necessarily have to "return" value this way.

There's large opportunity cost to shareholders for companies to hold onto cash, which is usually in low-risk investments, compared to how that shareholder would invest it themselves. That's what I mean by cost-of-capital.

> Many don't.. eg Berkshire.

This is a bit of a special case because Berkshires core business is making investment decisions (and doing so through a holding company is itself tax advantaged). When the day comes the value of Berkshire companies consistently underperforms the market, shareholders will absolutely demand Berkshire start distributing profits instead of making investment decisions on their behalf.

> A small, unsophisticated company doesn't get to (eg) reinvest its profits tax free.

It absolutely can reinvest its profits tax free! It just can't build up a long-term cash pile tax free.
Your video takes way, way more bandwidth than audio ever could.

You should not believe everything people complain about.

Also, you don't need expensive microphone. You need decent one set up correctly.

Most microphones are actually pretty decent in that they can record your voice pretty well provided they are set up properly and that is where usually problems are. You need to have correct geometry so that they can do their job of picking your voice and rejecting noise and you need to ensure correct software audio settings because mismanaging these can cause voice to be distorted or sprinkled with clicks and cracks.

"a lot of others" seems unsubstantiated. I'll argue the majority of folks (even technical) rarely need access to passwords outside of the browser. The only times I need a password outside of chrome is my Macs password, and dockerhub but I've memorized just those two.

Occasionally I need the password for Microsoft or intelliJ accounts, but even then I just use my phone to lookup the password in my manager visually and then type it, I'm never letting any password I care about go into my Macs clipboard!

The "attack surface" I worry about is forgetting to lock my screen before going down the hall to get some water, and someone slipping in to obtain a sensitive financial password.

I've never succeeded in explaining this to any password manager's tech support. They stay in business because their tools are convenient to use.

I've migrated from 1Password to a Dashlane family plan. I use two separate accounts for myself. I log in to one account to access sensitive financial sites, and log out explicitly before leaving my chair. I log into another account for everything else; do I care if my subscription to the Washington Post gets compromised? That account stays open for convenience.

Each password manager has a theory on how best to offer similar security/convenience with one account. None work as smoothly as having two accounts.
Depends on the software and, maybe defaults, when I join with Google Meet, I default to on. Which causes me to screw up on the occasions I use Zoom because I have it set as the opposite.

I like the underlying concept a lot (roughly, use technology to accomplish minimal-interaction user experiences). Practically, however, I think it's rather hard to accomplish because a lot of constraints/forces are going to incentive developers/companies to do what's easiest for them.
Especially with graphql being the new hotness I wonder if it's time to replace JSON with a binary format like Thrift. The old argument was that REST+JSON was simple and easy to debug but that goes out the window with GQL anyway.

JSON is just a terrible fit for GQL schemas. I regularly deal with metadata enum fields that are repeatedly serialized causing massive bloat. Sure it gets gzipped away, but you still have all those copies after decompression and parsing.

I can absolutely see that there are many cases where the code is not run many times or the dataset is dirty and that types actually get in the way. As a example, I cannot stand using stuff like VSCode with lsp because it is unbearably slow for both linting and code completion. I feel pycharm is faster (actual typing is slow, but code completion makes me rarely type more than 3 characters before completing which makes it feel faster). I’m mentioning this because I would never dream of typing out a data structure, which is probably because my work is so different from an analysis job. For me code for data structures should be either generated or be simple enough to type out in a few minutes and there should be as few as possible of them. In sharp contrast to data engineering type of work where data just is dirty because it is so much of it from everywhere. Anyway, in both cases I dont want to type a full variable name without some completion, ever, much less 100 times which it seems some people are completely fine with. I’m showing my inexperience with python here, but I would love if there existed something like the F# type providers so I do not have to type so damn much:D
