>Does it need to be 50 million lines of code?

Probably not and they should try to reduce the size if it makes sense. However, if all of the OS's I listed are above 10 million lines even in the best case scenario a modern operating system isn't going to be anything less than an overwhelmingly large and complex program.
Right, that's what SipHash tries to do too (SipHash was designed by two very reputable cryptographers).

I felt similarly before Tailwind. I now put it pretty close to TypeScript on things I don't want to work without.

I think Adam's quote on the front page of tailwindcss.com is spot on "...but the truth is you’re never going to believe me until you actually try it. If you can suppress the urge to retch long enough to give it a chance, I really think you'll wonder how you ever worked with CSS any other way"
I recall once hearing a talk that discussed, what I recall as, "test patterns" being run across the visual cortex prior to birth. Essentially, waves / patterns of stimulation would go across the optic structure that would be used to, again as I recall it, "calibrate" the visual system.

I dug a bit and was able to find this paper https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15289028/ , which seems to track my memory. It has a number of forward and backward citations if you are interested. Perhaps someone with far more than my vague recollection of a talk will step in though!

Good advice. Ever since Tavis Ormandy set his sights on password managers, I have been a very sceptical user. I still use 1Password, but without the browser extension. Putting autofill aside, there's a couple of other concerns I have.

I am hesitant about recommending a password manager to the tech illiterate simply because one piece of malware could compromise the entire vault. In that respect, a sticky note is arguably more secure than a tech illiterate person using a password manager.

Also, I have my usual criticism of client-side browser encryption. Anyone who has the technical ability to compromise a cloud-based service can likely take it a step further and modify JavaScript files enabling total vault compromise. There is no easy way for a user to mitigate this risk.

Password managers must be a stop-gap measure only until webauthn is more widely deployed. I long for the day when phone-based webauthn keys are the norm, and I can stop fielding questions about password managers from friends and family.
I don’t follow, where did this person compile anything? The only thing I saw him do was use pregenerated docker images?

Apple doesn’t claim they don’t block side-loading. Actually I believe they claim the opposite in the Epic case (even though it is possible via a supported process) because it was “necessary to ensure the safety of their user base” or something like that.

A New Plan for Solving the Mystery of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
So much advice in software development presupposes that everyone has the same single goal and at least one inexhaustible resource. In this case, time:

- To read and understand all relevant parts of the build pipelines for each performance-critical part of the infrastructure. In a relatively simple web application that could mean at least a web server, a caching framework, a database and a message bus.

- To debug any build failures, which could be plentiful and hard to parse until you're very familiar with the build infrastructure for that particular piece of software.

- To benchmark the build outputs in comparable ways with realistic configuration and inputs.

- To repeat the above whenever any part of the stack changes significantly.

I've found that "fetuses aren't alive" is a common talking point espoused by people who aren't comfortable sitting in a moral gray area and want an simple excuse to resolve their cognitive dissonance. It's common enough that I can't help but wonder if that is the reason people are so resistant to the idea that fetuses might dream. It seems remarkably similar to "farm animals can't feel pain". A transparent fib people tell themselves to feel better about their positions. Incidentally, I eat meat and I am pro-choice.

If an attacker is on your device, they very likely have access to your clipboard, so how is that more secure? I cringe whenever my password manager's autofill fails and I have to fall back to copy/pasting, because I know that I'm now storing my password in system memory in plaintext. Most password managers clear the clipboard after some timeout, but that's hardly helpful against an on-device threat
Jove Journal: Science Videos for Research and Education
I think you are absolutely right. The difference is culture. The US culture is anti-poor while the Finish culture is pro-human. The US culture is “only these tools are allowed to solve problems” and the Finish culture is “do what works”. The US culture is “better to spend 10x more money than give people free money - even if spending 10x more money doesn’t solve the problem” while the Finish culture is “that is just silly.”

> Right now the US economy is entirely dependent upon Taiwanese semiconductor fabrication.

I'd be curious to see this quantified in some way. TSMC has a lead at the moment for bleeding edge fabrication, but Intel isnt that far behind and is massive in scale (revenue is nearly double TSMC, though its not an apples to apples comparison). A lot of the most impactful shortages this past year were in non-sexy parts like microcontrollers and other lower end chips that can be built in many different countries, since they are fairly simple (28nm, 40nm and even larger processes are commonly used).

The world is intertangled enough that losing Taiwan for some reason would be pretty bad, but I cant think of another country better equipped to handle semiconductor production than the US (Korea and Japan do well also, but at smaller scale than the US).

In other words, progressives are the ones protesting for individual freedoms by definition. I deliberately chose this word in this context instead of "liberal" because the two are not synonymous.

I can totally imagine the "roll up your sleeves" mentality when you're bootstrapping the first few years. However, you had established companies, who had been start-ups but were now mature companies as well as old school companies who embraced this ridiculous trend and many employees themselves embraced it as the cool new work environment while a handful tried bucking the trend unsuccessfully. Unsuccessfully because they were seen as anti-innovation, old school, inflexible, un-hip, etc.

I assume when I buy something from an Amazon merchant, Amazon pays them in their local currency, regardless of which currency I chose to pay with. If they've got BezoBucks now, I assume paying with those still sends USD to US vendors and UKP to UK vendors and EUR to European vendors, etc.

I still don't see a big upside for Amazon, but merchants wouldn't need to accept it. And of course, Amazon could incentivize merchants to use it. Maybe if you take it, you get 1% more value than if you take USD and spend it on the site/AWS.

Before anyone decides to drink alcohol as if it were a supplement hear me out.

Alcohol in every continent has a rich social element to sharing it. It could very well be that the fabric of society around which revolves alcohol consumption determines these benefits more so than the alcohol consumption itself.

It might well be that regularly seeing friends, a ritual as ancient as humanity itself, could be responsible for these healing effects. Friends are good for you!
You still need 2FA and the 2FA absolutely should NOT be a part of your password manager. Use a different app at the very least.

This should help alleviate some of the worst password manager risks.

Abstinence is easier than moderation.

My point is simple here - if you or your family has a history of alcoholism, abstinence is the better way out. Moderation is harder than you think especially the way alcohol impairs your judgement. But for those who can practice moderation, power to you.

It would be good to know how many people in the study fell in this category. If a small percentage then it could be a statistical fallacy due to small samples having larger variances.
Disclaimer: I've never drank.

I don't understand this tho - why is alcohol talked about as if not drinking prevents you from hanging with friends? I don't drink and regularly see my friends who do while they're drinking. I usually just get a virgin seltzer at bars personally.

>And it's still well below Japan in per capita emission.

I upvoted you but I didn't dunk on Japan because they do have nuclear energy and are a resource poor nation. They are also the only nation to have legitimate concerns over nuclear technology for reasons I shouldn't have to explain.

>Meanwhile, despite enjoying the most from the carbon emission industry in 20 century, the advanced & developed country continuously insist on equal responsibility for all nations.

This is the core point! I'm making the case that there's a reason they are emitting lots of carbon right now, and unlike many other nations that don't have a reason nor a plan to get off carbon, they do have one. China was practically an agrarian society up until the 1980's, the west squandered a 200 year carbon-burning head start and is painting them as the bad guys.

I am not sure why that person is worried that "The MOSFET at the bottom is an IRF part that's .. always on." -- this looks like a fairly standard reverse polarity protection circuit, and it is extremely power efficient. The only current is Vgs leakage, and it is usually very small.

I cannot read the part number off the photo because it is too fuzzy for me, but if we take a random IRF mosfet in this package, like IRFL014, it's gate to source leakage is 100 nA, or 0.0001mA.

I would worry much more about the "op-amp bits" and also whatever regulator makes +5V, those are the parts that usually have non-trivial quiescent current.
You mean, expose bugs. If the software doesn't support a certain combination, this is a bug in the software.

Agreed. I follow Launch HN's because it's full of start ups that what want to make the world better, it's not some app flea market.
Both of you're statements are valid. If an attacker has access to your device you are *severely* compromised and you can't do much. I am going off the idea that your password manager clears your clipboard history however, but this is a valid and true statement. The thing is: nothing will be 100% secure. Ever. But if we evolve our security at the same rate loopholes, etc are being found, we can prevent data breaches, identity theft, etc. Before it even happens.
As long as there is symmetry in expectations, I don't mind taking this stance. If some English people get miffed when non-English speakers mispronounce their names, it becomes a matter of social justice :)

Unfortunately neither seem to be that popular so will never grow to point that usability will get much better that others will also benefit.
