Yes, choosing the right criteria / spec to prove against is a big task, and one that is not done at all today. Mathematicians sometimes say that fully describing the problem can be more work than actually proving it with a particular solution, and I imagine there's some parallels between that and the criteria vs proof problem you mention here.

If there's a biggest problem it's that nobody cares about a good spec so nobody will pay for it.
Hear, hear, but if we follow this route, can't we just agree that the browser is already present in the system and reuse it? "WebView apps" that is... If there is no - we can just show the prompt to install that single instance of the browser, akin to what Flash/Shockwave/Applets/Unity Web or any other similar tech were doing.
Were they ever not? Even the sinclare thing from the 80s has a cult following.

Github does not need to be open source.

Open source needs to pull its head out of its collective ass and not hand over its entire workflow to private companies.

Github may be the single greatest execution of embrace/extend/extinguish in computing history.

As someone who lived in the same dorm and witnessed the mentioned AoE2 games, I’d like to petition for AoE2 support as well. :) Congrats on the launch!
Oh no, ads shown to me might be “less interesting.” How could I live in such a world??
This would not be horribly hard to do without the deep fake stuff. 1000 names covers ~72% of the population. Change the video a bit so you have a cut just after the name (One that looks like it fits and you could record just the hello name part and have the other 90% be the same.

Then you send the 237 Mikes the same video but now it is not a deepfake.
Once a week or month you sit down and record any new names for half an hour or so.

Longer time sure but not 10k videos long like he implies.
This is cool technology, but I think this misses the value of the thank you card in the first place - that you gave the time and attention to each card (and by proxy, person). I guess I wonder without that expense to you, what is the value of the card to them (it's not the literal message, or the card stock)?

Then again, I often aspire to send cards and don't, so this is definitely better than nothing, especially if you personalized the messages.
Gotta love that hacker problem solving spirit
>Really, I think this is doing a sort of trust arbitrage. The tech exists to fake personal videos now, but customers aren't widely aware of it. You can take advantage of that difference with stunts like this. In a few years, people will know this can easily be done and the value of personal videos will drop. At some point it'll be no different to the average customer than an email with "Hi <name here>!" or a letter with faux-handwriting on it.

This was my exact thought as I read this article. The other part to this is that it comes at a societal cost: it will add another layer of distrust and cynicism in how we communicate, all at the expense of a short-term value to a handful of companies that race to maximize the value of this technology over the coming years.

No, his point was ignored and a thing he said was commented on.
Mobile basebands already get the local time and UTC offset when connecting to a tower, there's no need to power up the GPS antenna and receiver separately.
Great name.

I think you're falling into the classic trap of focusing on something scalable rather than something that's effective. I'm sure that your system provides some value, but I think even a mediocre human coach would be 10x more effective. What you're providing is incremental improvements based on statistics, but often in order to progress to the next level of competition players need to reevaluate their gameplay on a fundamental level (posture, mental fortitude, interaction with other players, mental model of the game, etc).

I think getting into that human element also opens alot of interesting opportunities to become more entrenched in the competitive gaming scenes which opens up other revenue streams.
It's not so much about gadgets, it's more about pretty women. Pretty women (and women in general) don't like to date poor devils.

I looked at it when it first came out but not since, does it have a typescript debugger yet?
Our long term goal is to go all-in on server-side rendered UI.

For reference, we use Blazor server-side today and still feel this is still not extreme enough for us.

What I would like to see is something where all browser events are piped to our server and we send basic WebGL draw commands back to the client. This would give us pixel-perfect control over how the application presents on any device without worrying about a particular vendor's quirks. Everyone's implementation of a web browser is a little different, but when you get down to the primitive behavior of basic WebGL/canvas usages, the consistency is very strong across all platforms.

In order to accomplish this, the server would need to know about each clients' viewport dimensions, etc., so its not like its a free lunch on system resources. This is more about total control and maximum security.
Next level is having that signature in blue printer ink. The next level above that is automating a pen to write the copied signature onto paper. The next level above that is to use a mechanical hand to grasp a pen and apply the same Bill Gates movements for the signature. The final level is cyborg Bill Gates itself.
"Needles on domestic record players ignored the signal, often physically destroying the delicate groove in the vinyl that produced the spoiler." Ah. The good old days: when the forces of greed and corruption were constantly shooting themselves in the feet. Of course there were some regrettable casualties. Like DATs. Having started out in the vinyl era, I got about halfway through recording my 400+ album collection when I lost interest. Played with CDROMs a bit, but couldn't bothered to continue. I'm probably not typical, but for me the assault on DAT killed any desire to keep feeding the RIA machine.
You do refer to specific attributes in the code, doesn’t you? So all in all you at least use a structural type with some given attributes. Even if you only ever use those attributes, you are already better off with regards to future changes, refactors, etc.
Extend. [0] Microsoft already has accepted Linux into the Windows Developer Ecosystem (Embrace) and has integrated it in WSL. They added NVIDIA GPU drivers that only works on WSL. (Extend)

GitHub Copilot also only works on VSCode and not on other editors. Soon they will probably move Copilot to only work on Codespaces. All of this is in the 'Extend' side.

Guess what 'Extinguish' looks like?

They will make it all free, starving the competitors out, when everyone runs to the new Microsoft platform.

Exactly—there are two major changes: the Electron change (which I'm 'meh' on, but could accept on its own), plus entirely dropping support for local vaults in version 8.
Marketing has always been an arms race of sorts.
Same. I share my passwords with my wife and sync them across devices. I also have a license for an older standalone app. I don’t feel cheated. I wanted to be able to share some passwords with other people.

I saw something mentioned about self-hosted vaults. That is something I might consider for my family.

I advocated for the use of 1pass at work precisely because we can share strong passwords with the team. Otherwise, people would just use the same, well-known weak passwords for everything, including business critical ones like domain registrar or Gsuite admin or the root AWS account.

I am not as happy about having another Electron app running on my local box. I hope they spent time locking things down. On the other hand, if it means my wife (on Windows) gets feature parity with my macOS client, that would be good. Even better if the Linux desktop gets feature parity and no longer have to rely on the web or browser plugin.
Exactly the same here. I've had three software subscriptions until this year, mostly begrudgingly — CreativeCloud, Evernote and 1password.

I got rid of two of them — Evernote for exactly the same reason.

1pwd going the Electron route would have put me close, but not over the edge — but the fact that they seem to have willy-nilly removed local vaults does.

These days it sometimes feels like one has to write all essential software oneself. Or go back to DOS and plain text files.
Incredible. "I want to address the ethics of this head on, but without acknowledging my financial stake in this nightmare technology."
The depth in the T does not have to be technical. The word "political" is often not specific enough and people think "well I'm not political so that isn't me" so maybe I can give some more detailed example scenario of how someone could give a staff engineer performance without being a narrow technical expert.

Let's say... an important piece of business functionality is divided between five backend services, each of which has its own engineering team. For the past couple years there have frequently been either performance problems or system-wide outages and nobody seems able to resolve it. Engineer X is on one of these five teams. They organize some processes, find some key people on each team to work with them, and convince the relevant managers to allocate resources to their project to improve reliability. The initial project is a success. For the next couple years, usage of these backend systems goes way up, since they are important to the business and now much more reliable. As usage grows, naturally reliability problems keep popping up, but Engineer X keeps their cross-team process operating and engineers participating in the process rapidly fix the reliability problems.

You could call these skills "political" but it might also feel just more like "being organized and communicating with the wide variety of stakeholders".
The browser integration is... Crap though especially compared to 1Password. Is there even a Safari integration?
Live below your means.

Max out you're tax-advantaged retirement accounts.

If you're young, invest a non-small portion into high-growth, "risk-on" assets, preferably in an industry you know a little bit about and can imagine where the trajectory of growth will lead to.

If you're staying put for the foreseeable future and don't mind limiting your optionality, consider buying a home (basically a 5x leveraged bet).
If you could subscribe to Facebook for $10/month in exchange for being shown no ads in their app, and not being tracked by them across the internet, would you do it?
Could use ssh -X to run any program/editor on the Codespaces VM.
Years ago, I did a college paper on the Bangladesh arsenic poisoning. Short wells and deep wells are fine. It's medium depth wells that are the problem because they are all drawing water from a particular rock formation that contains arsenic.

No one knew that beforehand. Relief organizations went in to put a stop to a serious crisis. They succeeded. Then reports of arsenic poisoning began emerging.
I'd really appreciate if github provides a way to opt-out "deep" analytics (e.g., train copilot on my open source code), even if this reduces the amount of features that they provide for free.
I've had the opposite experience. Most experienced develops tend to learn things much quicker because they've got a lot more experience learning new things. I'll willing to bet the third or fourth programming language you learned came a hell of a lot quicker than the first.
Just to be clear most of your customers are not as excited or invested in your phone screen protectors as you are. This is weird.
I was once peeved at a company's CFO driving a Porsche. Eventually I convinced myself that it's okay, because a Porsche is almost the only non-depreciating asset that you can drive.
I absolutely agree - same thing like when I get from some co-workers a reply to an email and after the body's reply I see each time the same thing (e.g. "Thank you. John"), identical to all other replies that I got previously from the same person during the last weeks => that always makes me feel a little bit sad (thinking "damn, s/he couldn't even spend literally 2 seconds to write it for real"), [sigh].
Though I like this model, the problem with dev containers on macOS is that the disk io is bog slow. This makes some IO heavy tasks (pip install, npm install) painfully slow.

I have started to run some dev tasks on a remote Linux server, with Dockers, and then just configured automatic file sync on save over SSH.
As far as the keys go, you can design a secure enclave to do the crypto then ensure a design element is that it can't create the key without being in space. Perhaps it is only active when acceleration is below 0.1g. Or, maybe it's designed to burn out if used in atmospheric conditions outside the vacuum of space. There are plenty of ways i could see it working so that the keys are very secure.

The rest of your points are a feature for deflationary currencies, and perhaps ensures no one currency lasts more than a few decades.
Funny as you're twisting what I said. I'm really tempted to wonder if it's because of culture war, or your subconscious feels a bit guilty. Probably culture war.

I called inhuman being certain that you'll never randomly flirting with any young women you're working with, over many years. Not exactly what you're saying, is it?

Also for the record, most 17 years old are attractive. They're not dateable if you're older, not relationship material, illegal to have sex with in certain legislation, a bad idea to in most cases and so on. But attractive? Why wouldn't they be? Ah, because you called them "minors". I'm sorry for you, if you really live in that world.

Edit: should have probably used a less harsh tone. Sorry. I'll blame it on being misinterpreted so badly, but still.
Do y'all have interest in fighting games, specifically SSBM?
That is so cringe. It's shit like this that will really make the masses hate tech companies. Years and years of education, tons and tons of computational resources, engineer months, years, cloud storage, MASSIVE SCALE, billion-dollar valuations (!?) and it's a crummy Ovaltine commercial with a clumsily edited in "Hey Ralphie!"
You're throwing him under the bus because this is a pretty recent phenomenon. Before email became so "personalized" I'd never get an email mentioning me by name and if I did it was from people who I knew personally. This all changed once marketers starting using "Hey $firstname," now I have no idea if this is from someone who knows me personally or from someone has my name in a massive db.

The fact that there is no disclaimer on this video shouldn't be worse than the fact that there is no disclaimer on emails saying "this email was automatically generated."

This gives me the same warm fuzzy feeling that I'd get when I read an email with my name in it even though 99% of times I'm sure it's not really sent just to me and is auto-generated.

Over time auto-generated videos will become as common as auto generated emails.
https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/dating-roc...

This page has a table of different dating methods that work on minerals and the time ranges to which they are accurate.
Curiously, which board games are you referring to?
I don't find it that scary. It's a gimmick. It will maybe work once or twice, but how many of these "hey firstname" videos do you think people will watch before catching on?

Sure, it's going to improve a lot, but since the first iteration of automated, personalized video messaging is so low-effort, I actually think people will just be inoculated against the whole idea. As in, don't watch the videos at all.
It’s not a complete import, you’ll get usernames and passwords but if you’ve done anything else with it (like say attaching software license files, scans of important documents, etc) they’ll be silently dropped.

Most record types (software license, wireless router, documents, drivers licenses, email accounts, membership, passports, maybe more) don’t exist in Bitwarden. I’m not sure what happens with all of those, maybe transformed into secure note, but again with all of the attachments removed. The lack of categories is also a nuisance for organization, you can create folders but have to manage it manually.

I’m still glad I switched, having bought 1Password on a bunch of platforms and a bunch of paid upgrades before it turned into a subscription. It probably would have been less money if it had been a subscription from the start with all the times I bought it. Maybe it’s irrational, I just don’t like being so dependent on a subscription service, and having a local network sync between my devices was just fine. Same reason Lightroom can pound sand with their $120/year licensing, I’m not going to keep my photo library in something that I just have to keep paying for the rest of my life.

Bitwarden is good enough for me, with 1Password as a subscription you can look at it and realize “this is going to be $36/year forever.” If I spent any time in it, might be worth the expense. I’ve bought a lot of software and I don’t mind paying for good software. But I’ve moved the things that were attachments to an encrypted disk image, and 99% of my password manager interaction is via auto fill so I don’t actually care how polished the UI is.

Family sharing would be a more compelling reason to stick with it if you’re using that.
I literally never had this problem. Sure, I broke my system in order to install something new (Eg. I switched to Wayland + sway recently) but that's constrained to when I'm consciously installing something.

I can understand the use case of having to run 200 micro services or something too powerful for my machine.

I don't understand my local environment automagically becoming "brittle".

I assume things may break after pdate on trash operative systems without an official package manager like Windows or Mac, but other than that...
ISKs (Investeringssparkonto, Investment savings account) are taxed at a flat amount of the account value per year, replacing capital gains taxes. In 2021, it will be 0,375%.
Solar panel efficiency goes down in high temperatures, so it wouldn't be great in really hot places.
This is just kicking the can down the road - why would you trust e.g. Intel to do this correctly, without someone on the inside compromising the keys? The pressure to do so (financial, political, espionage-related, etc.) would be enormous.
Specifically, relevant primary and reputable sources might include the ECMA-48 standard[1] (supposedly identical to the withdrawn ANSI one), the manuals for the various DEC VT-series terminals[2], the XTerm documentation already mentioned here[3], the detailed description of the VT100 state machine including how it fills the holes in the ECMA/ANSI spec[4], and maybe some compatibility tables[5]. There’s also a lot of folk wisdom beyond that, apparently, but nobody seems to have really gathered it in a usable form.

There is a Terminals WG over at the XDG[6], but I don’t know if they have produced anything useful yet.

Doesn't docker solve all of this? It has for my group, even using C++, which is notoriously finicky. You can version control your docker file and bootstrap a dev environment in minutes.
Not that much different from the efficiency at 30 or 40.

How to build and push Docker image with GitHub actions?
This week, I'm continuing the Docker topic. Last time I explained how to build an optimal image for your application. Today I wrote how to publish it to the DockerHub and Github Container Registry using Github Actions.
Estimating required sample size for model training
May I ask why do you use both Bitwarden and KeePass? Do they have some kind of story of working together?
You're right that there's lots of advancements on both fronts. It's not nearly as lost of a cause as I implied in my previous comment.
You might want to check out the Strongbox iOS app if you don't use Desktop, it's also really good. It uses a Keepass database also.
And... now it's ruined for everyone. When someone does bother to sit down and write a personal email or compose a personal video or record a personal audio greeting, it will be difficult to distinguish it from the faked kind. Fake sincerity has taken over from reality, and now we're left worse off than before.
Cool thanks, I figured, but wanted to make sure.
Yeah, "disagree and commit" isn't a way to dodge personal responsibility.
> By definition, a lot of the projects on Ethereum are a LOT more transparent than the traditional finance world

The important stuff is not transparent. For example, how do you know that Tether is backed by real USD? That Binance isn’t manipulating prices via wash trades? That the promises made about various coins are being upheld? etc.

Crypto is reliving the era of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcat_banking

> With most of the traditional finance world, it's all very grey and hidden

What specifically are you referring to with “traditional finance”?
Before popular neural net methods, there used to be a saying, 'at least 5 data points per dimension'. LOL
Yep. When you see places like this in the US it is basically always the case that local incomes are shockingly (to a coastal or mountain-west sort) low, maybe coupled with stagnant or very slow population growth. You end up with decades worth of high-end house construction—some likely from better economic times—being competed over by only a tiny sliver of the local population who can afford the half-million to one-million range, for housing.

When population and economic growth go negative, you'll see whole areas of amazing, beautiful houses rotting where they stand, because no-one wants them or because they've gotten so cheap that people who can't afford to keep them up can afford to buy them.
