This piece seems pretty biased and it's disappointing to see Ars publishing stuff like this. Iron workers were dying at a high rate 100 years ago because of unregulated labour practices, and the progress that was made with regulation is a net positive. Not only is this basic historical fact not acknowledged in the article, there is not even any speculation on what horrors a deregulated space industry could have in store. Cmon, man.

Dash also can be hosted on local infrastructure and in fact does no "translation", it's also using a complex Javascript front-end that abstracts away the HTTP conversation from the Python end :)
Textbook case (culprit): Evernote
I’m aware that North American forests are absolutely immense compared to everything I’ve ever seen. And yes, forest-keeping is hard labor (duh).

But there’s partly a question of involvement here: if you don’t meddle in the forest and don’t care to make it friendly to humans, it will (barring climate shifts that I’m in no way qualified to talk about) mostly take care of itself. It’s when you start allowing people inside and/or putting out small fires that you start having problems. So if you don’t have the necessary manpower, maybe don’t do that? Either take responsibility or leave it alone. You will still need firebreaks and people to walk them separating the two parts, though.

(Although given how much forest there is in the US compared in Europe, it would be foolish to expect to get by with a comparable amount of people, and a hundred thousand rangers, while undeniably very expensive and a lot of effort, does not fundamentally look like an unreasonable figure.)
A Journey from JavaScript and TS,to Rescript/React, via Elm,OCaml,Haskell
Unlike TypeScript, Rescript:

- is 100% type-safe or type-sound (check!)
- doesn’t have Null, undefined, or any (check!)
- is immutable by default, mutable when needed (check!)

and, if that’s not enough, it allows 100% type-safe bindings with any JS library. Huh, really? Who wouldn’t want that? Count me in.

Yes, but Rescript is not popular! Who cares?

> The question our board came up with was, if the currency is pegged to the dollar, why not just accept dollars?

Lower transaction fees, no chargebacks, and being able to serve international customers effortlessly.

Agreed that accepting cryptocurrency doesn't have much appeal yet, and pitching it to a board would have mixed outcomes. I don't have any answers on provenance, and am not sure how this is being handled by the large amount of companies that currently accept it.

While adoption is low, I think most companies are opting to settle transactions to cash. This is probably the safest choice for now.

Now that I've argued for it, I also think accepting cryptocurrency doesn't fit everyone's business model yet and isn't always the best choice for some companies.
I've had an overage charge once. The driver hadn't selected in the app that he'd dropped me off, and drove for about an hours afterwards. I messaged Uber about it when I saw the overage charge, and it was refunded about 30 minutes later.
There's more than just two variables to this, can't really plot everyone on a XY-plane. Skill, confidence, self-awareness, honesty, etc. are all variables/features which can determine the outcome.
I want to add another note: there's no evidence for this piece's assertion that they knew self driving wouldn't work out. There are still many large companies investing in this area - Waymo, Cruze, Tesla etc.

The fact that Uber's program clearly failed in retrospect doesn't mean that it was a scam. You can even look at Lyft, which was doing a similar program, as evidence that there were several companies with similar ideas to create a robo taxi fleet, all of whom did some analysis that showed it could be possible.

With that said, if someone had magically made me CEO of Uber at that time, I would have immediately scrapped their self driving program and just tried to negotiate an exclusive licensing deals with someone like Waymo who seemed to be farther ahead.
How can a password manager require 80 threads to run on a Mac?Old version required 12.

I'm the person you find if you take the intersection of the sets of experts in accessibility and knowledgeable people about modern Transformer architectures and I feel like I fundamentally do not understand how you can reasonably claim to be doing what you're doing.

Heuristic-based automatic remediation is one, not so great, thing. But trying to probabilistically remediate accessibility based on ... The huge corpus of inaccessible web content out there as a baseline? Or possibly a far-too-small annotated training set that can capture a tiny portion of what can go wrong with accessibility where it would make more sense to just build the darn heuristics... I must be missing something here.

Also you might want to call this a Show HN.

And to clarify, the size of Dublin is relevant because even if smaller cities have a relatively lower mean proportion of software developers, the law of small (!) numbers tells us the variance in the proportion of software developers will be larger, meaning some smaller cities will have the lowest fraction of software developers, and others (perhaps like Dublin) will have the greatest fraction -- just by chance, not due to underlying causal mechanisms.
What about phone interviews and remote work? Especially this year I’ve interviewed tons of folks without having seen their faces or knowing their ages.

I don’t deny your experience by the way, but without hard data isn’t it hard to say if people were rejected for age vs other reasons?
I'm in my late 50s. All the jobs but one I've had over the last ~10 years (there's been about 5 of them) were where I was hired by people older than I am. The one job where I was hired by a person in their early 30s went spectacularly, terribly bad (only lasted 8 months before I bailed and I really should've bailed at 2 months, but I thought I needed to try to stick it out because "that's what you're supposed to do".).

It's also a lot easier to get hired by people who are older than you as they don't have the same biases against older devs... but at my age there are getting to be fewer and fewer folks older than me as they're retiring at a good clip.
> Interop is hard, because all the axiom systems tend to be subtly different in ways that are hard for normal people to appreciate, though there is some work on it, including MM0.

Would it be tenable to build a parameterized axiom-system-evaluation-engine for which the semantics of a specific proof-assistant would consist of a configuration for this general engine, rather than patches to its code?

If so, would it then be possible for interop to happen "between" proofs in slightly-different axiom systems, the way that regular hand-written "translational" proofs work in mathematics — i.e. "take this property we've proved, translate it into domain model X, derive a property Y, then translate property Y back out of domain model X and into domain-model Y, where we actually want to use it?" — but all under-the-covers, as the (proven) equivalent of FFI, autogenerated as glue proof-code by analyzing the differences between two "configurations" to the engine?
It’s very likely them doing pre rollout operations for this feature is actually what caused that outage though.
This is starting to feel like a TempleOS-style meltdown.
> Why do you think it’s going to be slower

Electron is the explanation and it takes up CPU, RAM and Disk Space. If you are running other Electron apps, 1Password is now going to be even more slower.

In comparison to 1Password 7 which that is fully native vs the upcoming 1Password 8 which is sitting inside an entire browser.
The book's claim is something like "most millionaires are people who own ordinary small businesses without a luxurious lifestyle".

This article seems to be trying to refute the different claim that "even a low-income person can easily become a millionaire". But I don't think that's ever been true, and it's not really the book's message. Someone making $130,000 as a small business owner isn't "low-income" - the book is mainly contrasting this group with highly educated doctors, lawyers, MBAs, etc, who also have high incomes but spend much more.

Prosecutors can commit to only asking for a particular sentence, but AIUI they can't formally tie the hands of the judge. The sentencing guidelines may also suggest a sentence far below the theoretical 150 year maximum.

One thing that they have done is undertake to consent to any request from Assange to serve any sentence in Australia. So I don't know whether trying to wait out the clock in Belmarsh would be a good move anyway.
Keychain is not quite a password manager.

Switched to KeePass when they introduced the subscription model. I believe the only app that I tolerate as subscription is Lightroom CC. I want to minimise subscriptions because otherwise it is 5$ here, 10$ there and at the end it can be a surprising amount I have to pay each year.
But yes, for some apps it may be worth it, but for 1Password I found suitable alternatives.
But 1) in the context of the article (which only knows about $4.7m being returned), this was only something they did after they failed to get away with the money; and 2) if you were a "white hat" you would give back all of the money, not 40% of it ;P.
It is of course not common to rent for 30k because most people feel they can't afford that but it is essentially the "spot price".

Many apartments in central Stockholm are ~100k SEK per square meter to buy. So a 100 square meter apartment is 10 million. That is 16-17k per month just to beat the inflation target. Then you have the building fee which is probably 4-5k. And then profit on top of that of 8k per percent. So with 1% profit you are more or less at 30k per month.
It's Swedish, but I wouldn't put it in the same category, as the company was founded in 1876.
A password manager doesn't need frequent updates. Instead, the priorities should be reliability, UX responsiveness, and light resource usage.

Similarly there is a phenomenal company called HandWrytten. It uses robots to write thank you cards with ink pens. I upload a spreadsheet of all of my contacts, with a message for each, and the robot beautifully writes out the card in my own handwriting; personal hand writing is an extra fee. Takes about an hour for 155 contacts.

I keep up with hundreds of people in my job and something personal like this really goes a long way.

> The years prior to 2010 or whenever they jumped into advertising would argue "You're wrong, Facebook."

For better and for worse, we've seen pretty significant shifts in advertising over the last decade that has led to the collapse of brand names' domination over certain categories.

There are over 1 million tiny ecommerce businesses on Shopify that could never afford or rationalize a mass-market TV, print, or radio commercial but they can still be generate meaningful profits with only $100 worth of digital ads that are delivered to the right people.

It's undeniable that small businesses are benefiting from these types of ads, though you're welcome to question the macro-economic implications of that.

> I kind of don't understand why customer support would answer customer questions that way — Oh my, did you just a question about Electron? Because I swear you asked about our RUST BACKEND. Let's talk more about that.

I see two possibilities:

1. They were told "it was written in Rust, mention that a bunch and link this blogpost for street cred" and actually have no idea what either Rust or Electron is beyond they're "technologies."

2. It's a ham-handed attempt at distraction.

I agree with this sentiment entirely. I generally only check the poor reviews of a place and then try to corroborate them/see if it's something I can live with. This is especially true on Amazon, but I trust Amazon less and less as time goes on. I especially appreciate more now the idea of Zagat's guide or similar things of that ilk where the incentive structure is clear: I pay for good reviews. Weirdly enough, I think some reviewers have found ways where they are wealthy enough that they are much less likely to be corrupted. Like Marques Brownlee for example IMO seems like you'll get whatever he's personally biased by but I don't feel like some company can just buy a good review from him

Moral arguments aside, there's an interesting empirical question here: how many straight men actually feel no attraction to (pubescent) teen girls? That sounds like a set of preferences that would have a hard time evolving, and one that would have been seen as fairly odd in most historical periods I know of.
The problem with YNAB is that,

A) They will have all of your financial information, as opposed to banks that will each get a slice. So the data they have is much more sensitive.

B) YNAB has around 100 employees in total. They do not have the resources to secure their data the way big banks do. We all have our doubts about security at big banks, but I am sure small startups are way worse.

C) It was all unnecessary for YNAB to go online. The decision, much like 1Password's was about money, not clients. I cannot live in this day and age without a bank account. I can live with an old version of YNAB. Heck, I can live even without YNAB. If banks are necessary evil, YNAB is an unnecessary one. Why increase your attack surface with unnecessary stuff, just because there is some necessary attack surface remaining?

I agree with these sentiments. I love 1Password and pay for a subscription. But this post is simply trying to gussy up their subscription-only move for maximizing MRR. Call it what it is - don't lie about it by saying you're only doing it because "everyone loves our monthly subscription service".
Most likely because credit card forms are very often served in iframes. 1Password fills iframes too (though maybe only for cards, not sure).
This is all quite true because an app has changed from what we knew about "desktop applications" in the past.

nowadays:
1) it has to look good, and the web is a platfrom most ui/ux guys understand.
2) it has to provide a dead simple ui that conveniently solves a problem.
3) It doesn't have to support all of the features of the underlying desktop platform.
4) it probably must be have network connectivity, and therefore all of the quirks of network security.

The tens of millions of lines of c++ code called a browser are basically that infrastructure.
Yes it has been a breeze to switch to it, especially with their native import of Lastpass logins.

Lastpass frequently messed up the autologin and injected a lot of ugly css/html in the forms which Bitwarden doesn't.

Also it works really well as a chrome extension with Kiwi browser on Android.
Does it still do that if you click the pop-out button so that Bitwarden has it's own window?
If latency is high/nondeterministic every time you hit refresh in your browser to see your dev changes the delay gets compounded, productivity suffers and frustration intensifies.
github was already turning evil. and being bought by microsoft sealed the deal
Awesome, that’s something doable and could be a good learning exercise!!
Trusting any cloud based password manager to me seems absurd and stupid.
I come at it from a slightly different angle. I got in when it was syncing via Dropbox and iCloud, and it worked perfectly fine.

The switch to a subscription service is a forced downgrade for me; it's putting functionality I already have behind a subscription.

This is particularly an issue since the old versions (versions I paid for, mind you) are slowly going away (typically as a recompilation and submission is required to keep them available on iOS devices).

This is probably an edge case where the fields in the browser cannot be identified by their ids/classname. In this kinds of a scenario, you can set extra fields (and their corresponding values) in Bitwarden after inspecting the field elements in Dev tools.

Electron can be a blessing for small teams building complex apps for multiple platforms. It’s a positive to have a single interface that runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, and even the web browser.

But it comes at a price of higher resource usage and slower apps. It’s not a big deal to wait a couple seconds to load something like VSCode when I’m going to leave it open and use it all day, but I don’t want to invoke all of that overhead for a simple password manager that gets opened and closed all day.

I really wish they’d focus on fast, lean native apps. They have the funding, a high price point, and even recurring revenue to fund it. This feels like an arbitrary decision that sounds good on paper but misses the fact that they’re best served by small, lean native apps.
For this particular issue, it was fixed in a PR that checks whether a volume is "crowded" and creates new volumes before they fill up. Not really an issue any more.
