You can literally go see for yourself how the WYSIWYG editor works these days. I suspect it's come a long way since the last time you checked it.

My bigger question though is why the average user is important. Most large companies have employees whose entire job is ... knowledge management. If they can't figure out how to write wikitext then maybe they're not a good fit for the role?
(although it can still be modified just like regular row data)

But it can't be updated or deleted, so what do you mean by this?
> That said, high price killed off most of the legacy Unix vendors/products.

High price and the differentiation. In the 90s I was working in publishing and publishing-adjacent companies that were throwing out their Unix environments as quick as they could after NT 4 was released. They were all sick of dealing with the crap of having multiple, subtly incompatible *ix environments to deal with: one company I worked for had Irix, AIX, SunOS, Solaris, and both flavours of Digital's Unix products, because various vendors had done deals with the different vendors to ship their products on those variants. Each came with different shells, different userlands, and all required slightly different tweaking and tuning to maintain operationally.

Contrast that with the NT 4 world, where that same business was quite happy to buy extremely expensive Alpha/NT systems so that the same skills, tool, and so on that worked everywhere.
Have you looked at remote.com and letsdeel.com?
so then, as far as i can tell, the only real upgrade, in terms of real security, from the passworded web using password managers, is that under webauthn an individual password cannot be sniffed or phished since it's public key challenge->sign->response.

fixing phishing is a nice big start, but i keep hearing about all these sms redirect attacks and other attacks on password reset functions. leaving that as an exercise to the reader doesn't really seem to solve the problem. (especially in events where all keys must be rotated due to lost/stolen/compromised device)
I hope nobody legitimately sends me mail with a carefully handwritten address, because as soon as I see nice handwriting in the address, it goes in the junk mail bin.

IC users on JWICS use IC ITE PKI. You get issued a client cert and key when you get an account, and that is used to authenticate you to all web-based services. Additionally, it links directly to your clearance, so it automatically redacts content based on the portion label, meaning you can do something like load Intellipedia and it will not show you parts of pages containing information you have inadequate clearance to see, but still show you everything else. 2FA is implemented by requiring you to unlock your private key with a 8-digit pin.

It is light years ahead of the public world wide web. But, of course, the problem is a lot easier to solve when you have a single source of identity for every user and every user only has a single identity. Something like this is impossible if you want any level of anonymity, but users of government systems have no expectation of anonymity.
Augustus Cole from that X-Files episode would like to disagree.
Wow. The amount of people here who would have wanted to ban cars when they were first invented is incredible. Luckily the world has plenty of inspired people actually doing novel things and these stuck-in-the-muds don't have much power.
Yeah I'm not an admin on the account and have no control over it.

An app doesn't work for me either, When I have a big rack-mounted immobile desktop that should if anything BE the 2FA device, if anything, not a 6-inch easily-stealable device.
The government budget is not one big pool of money. It’s split up between agencies and within agencies it’s split up between departments. The people who would go after the Sacklers have only a small fraction of the federal budget available to them. Unless congress gives them more money. That’s where your reference to the Sacklers class makes sense. Congress is not going to move against their donor class.
To answer the title's question: yes I would, but usually when people ask you to do so, it's a false dichotomy and there's another option where you could have both, but the powers that be won't offer it to you. And that's definitely the case with COVID passports.
This makes sense if you don't check a package's hash before you install it.

> The point is that there wasn't a single canon, different sects of Jews had different canons.

You're attaching a lot of weight to a lot of different historical viewpoints. Of course you can find different sects of Jews with different canons. You can find different sects of Jews doing a lot of strange things including committing mass suicide.

However, the majority of the most recognized scholars and historians of the first few centuries C.E. do not consider the so-called apocryphal books as part of the Bible canon. Josephus, Jerome, Councils at Laodicea and Chalcedon, as well as numerous church Fathers (e.g. Justin Martyr, Melito, Origen, Hilary, Epiphanius, Gregory Nazianzus, Rufinus of Aquileia) testify to the closing of the canon outside of the apocryphal books.

> We know that many Greek-speaking early Christians accepted some of the pre-Christian Greek "apocryphal"/"deuterocanonical" works as canonical. Why did they do that?

It doesn't matter. A lot of your arguments hinge on finding obscure debates and controversies. So what if there was controversy among some? The general consensus, however, disagrees with those debates and controversies and finds them irrelevant.

> The canon did change. In the middle of the second century CE, the Pharisees still had multiple canons

You mean the same Pharisees about whom the the Jew, Jesus Christ, said: "Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition." (Matthew 15:6)

> And, if we consider other Jewish groups such as the Sadducees or the Qumran community, we find even more Jewish canons than that.

Again, do you mean the Sadducees whom Jesus and many first century Jews condemned? It's irrelevant to even consider any canon that contradicts the most well respected historians and scholars of those time periods. You refer to them as "canons" but they are no such thing. The Hebrew canon was well established by the time of Josephus and only a few obscure sources contradict that.

> And why do you dismiss it as 'some so-called "debate"'? It was a real debate, you can read the Mishnah for yourself

I dismiss it because it's irrevelant. In fact, it's about as relevant as you and I having this debate right now, because neither you or I can change the fact that the canon was well established before the 1st century CE.

> All the Holy Scriptures defile the hands.

You want me to take seriously a document that says that?

> Furthermore, this passage gives evidence that the same debate was active in the 1st century CE as well (and possibly even the 1st century BCE too), through Rabbi Shimon's reference to Bet Shammai and Bet Hillel.

Yes, it was very active -- among people who had no say in the matter and whose opinions didn't mean a whole lot until we decided to throw 20th century criticism into the mix.

A lot of comments are criticizing Excel users as if we are resistant to learning more about other programming languages. Resistant as in hard-headed or lazy.

One thing to remember is that the vast majority of Excel users aren't fully in IT or tech. We have to deal with data but the roles aren't primarily data roles.

- Customer Service Reps

- Admin Assistants

- Warehouse Managers

- Non-profit Fundraisers

- Sales Reps

- Realtors

- Inventory Managers

- Insurance Agents

I've taught at non-profit conferences and saw how people were torn. The fundraiser who uses Excel every day has to decide: do I spend 4 hours in an Excel session or 4 hours in a session on fundraising trends?

===

So many roles require some kind of data use, and Excel is immediately accessible, even if all it is is typing numbers into a cell, hand-coloring certain values and getting a sum.

Here's the question: WHEN is a person best served to put in the time and effort required to learn Python, JavaScript or another formal programming language? WHEN should a Warehouse Manager be sent to a Python class? What would that situation look like?

Personally, I hate true programming--and I've done a lot of it. But true programming is a whole different mindset. I like the visual aspect of Excel. But when I open a code editor and there's this wall of letters, numbers, indents, curly-brackets ... WOAAAHHHHHHH! No. HELL NO!

Even with WordPress and the templates that are supposedly drag-&-drop, I still found myself writing CSS and HTML.

===

One other thing. Don't forget looking the opposite way. Too many coders don't know what Excel can do. I watched a presentation on 6 hours of JavaScript that someone wrote to accomplish a task. That same task would have taken less than 5 minutes in Excel.
What’s wrong with Trello? It still seems to run fast? And has some new stuff added that seems to be useful? Dunno, still seems to be fine to me.

Does HTTPS Everywhere just blindly redirect you to an HTTPS equivalent? That's crazy! (As you're finding out) there's absolutely no requirement that a site that responds to HTTP will also respond to HTTPS, or will respond with the same page even! Could be completely unrelated content.

It's not so much that they're opposing in that they counter each other, it's just that from a literary perspective, there are two separate creation events in the first two books.

Genesis 1 starts with a creation story:

> In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

And after the entire creation of the world, Genesis 2 begins and seems to have forgotten the world was already created:

> This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created

There are a number of examples like this that make scholars believe the books were collected from different belief systems and then arranged together - sort of like a best-of compilation of existing religions.
All that stuff is not done out of trust but because it’s cheaper for them to not verify things. Amazon doesn’t make returns easy because they trust you but because they have run the numbers.

Right, AWS is the biggest offender of this. Also, Coinbase, Kraken, and several others.

Seriously, deprecate SMS already. I deprecated it 10 years ago.
Fair enough.

The VAST majority of users do not care, and many programmers (myself included) do not believe that formal verification is likely for many larger or more complex systems if they have a tech stack element somewhere in mix (probably not on the device itself but perhaps interfacing / programming it).

We will see who wins in the market, the open source player with a public and extensive FORMAL verification (NOT EASY!) or the closed source player, first to market, sales reps going to Drs offices etc

Yes! Works great actually.

Even running Windows-based games on Steam with Proton. All my hardware worked out of the box(including my Wifi6 module) - only tweaking I had to do was for Vulkan with my GPU. Even then, not that difficult and instructions are in their wiki.

I have little reason to run Windows now. Only software I really miss is Fusion 360.
I found the search pretty iffy at times. There was an exisiting marketplace app for it that was not much better so I wrote my own. Then turned it into a full marketplace app so others could benefit.

It does partial matches anywhere in a word, supports every language even in the same document, and even has regex support for those who need it. Update instantly with instant filters.

It can find things like 168.0 in 192.168.0.1 which the existing confluence search cannot for example. Or search for AKIA credentials /AKIA[A-Z0-9]{16}/ I have heard people describe it as Agolia for confluence which makes me happy.

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225034/better-instan...

As for why their search is so bad? It's probably due to how they apply permissions. Every permission for their search needs to apply per search per user. It makes it complex and hard to apply changes, making it hard to improve things. I imagine it's one of those parts of confluence that is a major pain to work with.

I think a lot of this is also due to their cloud migration. When using the server version they were allowing you to host yourself you could store the index on disk. With cloud they suddenly need to keep the index state somewhere persistent, but they also want to dynamically scale up and down.

Lastly, they also apply stop words, stemming and such, using out of the box lucene. Lucene is a great tool, but it can also be a pain to work with. You can see problems when you mix languages on the page too, such as having Thai, Chinese and English on a single page which confuses the Lucene tokeniser.
> Why do you think the two myths are opposing?

Because different events occur, and the shared events occur in different order and context?

When two different narratives notionally referring to the same events have those features, they are said to be opposing or conflicting narratives.
Shouldn’t be surprising if autocomplete results appear immediately after typing in the box.

I think it has less to do with the content of the API and more to do with the fact that it's essentially a way to query a small number of megabytes of structured data. You could encode the whole thing as JSON or SQLite and eliminate the network round trip (latency, security footprint, privacy implications) entirely.

In fact, the memory usage required to establish a few TLS sessions might even be greater than the size of the full dataset.
Bitbucket Server, which some people are referring to here, was build from the ground up, tailored to a self hosting environment.
I have a related question, in case anyone knows: We want to store typical analytics data somewhere (currently in BigQuery) to analyze with Looker. Things like "CI run started", "CI run finished" and then calculate analytics over average CI runtimes.

Which database would be a good fit for this? There isn't too much data, maybe tens of thousands of rows eventually. Would Timescale be a good fit? I'd prefer that, due to existing familiarity with Postgres, but if ClickHouse is better, that's good too.

Yes, but natural infection did not produce this broad immunity in their samples, only infected then vaccinated developed this special kind of broad immunity. That is supprising in a way, that we could coax the immune system into producing a special kind of immunity that wouldn't otherwise be likely to occur naturally. It opens an area of research into what mRNA sequence or dosing regimen could reproduce this immunity for a future super vaccine.

Keep in mind though: the average user that uses any password manager installed in their browser. If they've turned on password sync they've got it connected to their Apple/Firefox/Microsoft/Google account (and its username/password/what-have-you), but by default the browser as a password manager in most browsers does not require a login of any sort and does not require a "master password" or "master key phrase".

While I'm waiting in queue for my starlink since last year, I went and got a mofi with directional antennas and a 12 foot pool. Its not fast at the rural cabin, but I can stream 480p yt, and ssh. And its always on.

I have a grandfathered unlimited wireless account, so I just ordered a another sim card. The mofi changes the network settings so data looks like a phone not a tethered device.

I bought a 4g router, they have 5G but its 2x the cost, but seems to cover all the bands, and does channel aggregation.

I'm amazed to see this here.

My colleagues and I have been grumbling for ages that our instance of Confluence must be really badly configured. If you put in a single word search term, there will be lots of results, but no guarantee that any pages containing that word in the title (or body), will appear above ones where it doesn't.

The search problem was solved long ago by Apache Solr/Lucene. Although this may not be true for multiple languages.

> offer Apple Maps on the web

If they wanted to, they could easily do that. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs:

“Use this JavaScript API to embed interactive maps directly into your webpages or apps across different platforms and operating systems, including iOS and Android. Like MapKit for native apps, you can also add annotations and overlays to the map to call out points of interest or user destinations.”

However, would that really give them more data? I would guess it would get a tiny fraction of the traffic that mapping apps would generate.
Hi HN,

My name is Brom, and I'm the founder of Empath Ventures. I made the linked RFS out of frustration - most psychedelic startups we're seeing are all crowding into the same problem space (generic mental health conditions).

While psychedelics are great for solving those, I think there are so many more uses for and potential business models in psychedelics!

Hopefully the RFS is useful to someone.

I wouldn't use an Android phone for anything safety critical if it was more than 6 months behind the latest security patches. Why would it be any different for Windows?

Of course, we can play the asterisk game and expressly state that if the machine is not connected to the internet and not used to browse the web, then it's probably safe. Or if you like browse the web in a VM. I still have to wonder if the patches for these kinds of issues[1] get backported to Windows 7.

As to the appeal for age, I think software ages like seafood in terms of security. Just because it's been deployed for years doesn't mean that there aren't vulnerabilities lurking in that code. Although I will concede that as Windows 7 loses users, the payoff for finding a vulnerability will decrease too.
