I use KeepassXC on my desktop OS's, storing my database on a NextCloud instance. Android can R/W that same file using the KeePassDX app (available on either the Play store or F-Droid). I can store TOTP keys in my Keepass database as well. My browser has an extension that lets me autotype the username, password, and TOTP codes.

I know storing my TOTP passphrase along with my un:pw combo isn't as secure as keeping them in separate locations, but my threat model is just to stop someone with only my un:pw.

As a former Uber engineer I did the employee delivering program a couple of times (pre-covid) and it was really eye opening. I’m based in Amsterdam so cycled on bicycle to make deliveries - it’s hard work, but also was a great way to explore the city and discovered some great eateries I wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.

I still remember a story about being yelled out of a restaurant for coming in to pick up a delivery. The restaurant owner set a message to couriers in the app that instructed us to wait outside for the pickup, but I didn’t see it because the text was so small. Instantly filed a bug report for the Driver app team to make the messages easier to read!
I can relate to this very well, and it was very intriguing situation to be in. I used to work part time delivering groceries with Instacart and I actually delivered stationery stuff to Instacart Office in Downtown Toronto. Bonus: I got to pick-up a cool sticker while on my way out.

I have nothing more to reply to your complacent stupidity but that you're dangerously ignorant and denying basic science because it's inconvenient to your beliefs.

It's pretty sobering to see this toxic mindset so common in the techno-optimist crowd of HN. But this is nothing else than wishful thinking -- the science data is absolutely overwhelming.
Housing prices went up 20 % between 2016 and now because zoning became more difficult? That doesn't compute.

Clearing price is set by the maximum payment mortgage a household can afford, i.e. principal + interest. If the interest rate is lower, that results in a higher cash price, and that's what we see.

Of course politicians at all levels and households who have already are uninterested in seeing a change to the status quo, so no surprise that there are supply constraints as well. All that started when housing became a popular investment vehicle sometimes in the late 1970's.

The fact that entry-level housing is extra scarce because it's less profitable for the builder than a doctor's palace doesn't help either.

This is a fascinating post to get some perspective from the narcissist side.

In my experience, beyond the suffering and abuse, it is nearly impossible to describe to someone else the experience of extended engagement with someone with narcissistic personality disorder or someone with borderline personality disorder. Friends and family often have no frame of reference in dealing with NPD or BPD. It makes finding help and treatment much harder. Often you have to discover on your own that you have been the target of NPD or BPD abuse. It takes time.
I am the author of the Mumble library[1] used in OP's project. I've also contributed directly to the Mumble project a bit in the past.

It has been several years since I shut down my personal Mumble server. One of the reasons being that lots of my friends were using Discord and found opening Mumble an annoyance (being connected to multiple Mumble servers at once is not well supported, but being in multiple Discord "servers" is very common). The Mumble client also had a poor UX.

It would be great if Mumble had a web interface, support for multiple servers, and a better text chat interface, but I think it's too little too late to convince regular users to use Mumble.

But actually, I personally believe that the actual reason Apple killed 32bit support was because they didn't want to build it into Rosetta. (And they didn't want Intel computers to be able to run anything their new Apple Silicon computers could not.)

I doubt it; that’s not how Apple rolls. They’re not like Microsoft which keeps legacy technologies around for backwards compatibility for several years after a technology is no longer mainstream.

Reasonable people can disagree but Apple is about the present and the future, not the past. Sure, they could have kept Carbon around or pick your favorite framework from the past but that’s generally not their thing.

Occasionally something from their past reappears, like the QuickDraw GX font format from the 90s that became the basis for today’s variable fonts on the web.

Apple has always been fine with some software not making the leap to the next operating system or processor architecture.

We’ve seen this going back to 68K to PowerPC then to Intel and now ARM.

Being able to run x86 operating systems (Windows) natively on Intel Macs was a huge selling point not that long ago and now it’s an afterthought that current buyers (mostly) don’t care about. Microsoft would bring Windows for ARM to Apple Silicon and so far, they haven’t.

And while this is all going on, Macs have never been more popular.
Apple is clearly an incredibly successful company but to take an example why would an energetic young developer ever choose to work on Apple Music over Spotify? I say this as an Apple Music subscriber but one is a company that is existentially all in and the other that sees a revenue stream. This is evident in the quality of the respective products. If you’re not in the AR/car divisions then what is the point.

… Eh? No, that seems highly unlikely. Decent therapeutic drugs will be available from next year (in quantity; homeopathic quantities are already available but not to the point where they’re particularly useful). Increasingly few people are totally naive to the virus. Over the next period of time there’ll be precautions to keep the hospitals operating and the death rate down, but that will tend to get easier and easier.

If you look at hospitalisation and death figures from heavily vaccinated countries, each wave has generally been less severe even as variants get nastier and restrictions are eased (you’re not seeing March 2020 restrictions pretty much anywhere today). It remains early for omicron, but initial signs show the same pattern.

I do think that places with this kind of politico-cultural objection to vaccines (parts of the US and Eastern Europe, for instance) may struggle.
This is great that you can do that. An experimental environment must be of the same size.

Ideally, absolutely the same physically, to keep the same physical layout as on prod – bloat, etc – though, sometimes it's not allowed.

Another problem here is that for each experiment, you might need a new environment. Plus, in larger teams, many people might want to do this work at the same time – so you end up combining efforts, synchronizing them, sharing environments. It slows you down. Or increases your cloud spending a lot.

This is a kind of problem Steve Jobs described in his famous 1980 speech [1] about Apple: if we give each person their own computer, something special happens compared to the case when 10 persons share a single computer. Here it is the same: if we can give each engineer their own full-size DB copy for experiments, something special happens. They start moving much, much faster. SQL quality improves. DB changes (DDL, massive DML) stop failing. Finally, engineers start learning SQL, it's an eye-opener – they now can see how it works on large volumes (because they didn't have good environments for experiments before!)

This is what we (Postgres.ai) have learned over the last couple of years developing Database Lab Engine [2]. It's an open-source tool for superfast cloning of Postgres databases of any size, based on copy-on-write provided by ZFS or LVM. On a single machine, you can have dozens of full-size clones up and running, conduct a lot of experiments at the same time, and still be paying only for 1 machine. And clone provisioning takes only a few seconds, it feels like magic. But the main magic is how engineering processes change.

One of great use cases is how GitLab uses it for Postgres query optimization and change control [3].

>You may want to enroll multiple and keep them in other places too, but you can't enroll a key you don't have so things like a safe deposit box are not useful for the average case.

That seems like a usability nightmare. Are there plans to improve this? Hardware wallets for cryptocurrencies seem to have it solved. You can keep multiple copies of the keys around (ie. multisig wallets) for maximum security, or you can write down the private key of the device you have and store it somewhere safe. In either case you can retain the public keys so you don't need access to the device if you want to send funds to them (or in the case of authentication tokens, enroll them).

There are currently no commercial power reactors that use highly enriched uranium. A terrorist group that stole a trainload of fresh fuel for one of today's power reactors would be unable to make a bomb from it.

Fast spectrum reactors require a larger core inventory of fuel and higher concentrations of fissile material within the fuel. That makes fuel diversion more dangerous with fast reactors. Presumably that's why people interested in fast reactors are trying to improve their proliferation resistance, to bring it in line with what's considered acceptable today.

As a side note, purely technical measures cannot render reactor designs proliferation-proof against rogue governments that might repurpose reactors to make weapons. At best you get some warning from breach of anti-proliferation measures so other countries know when legal/diplomatic countermeasures become warranted.

No. Brand new means completely new. Something that's going on 3 years old isn't brand new anymore.

A more appropriately term is relatively new. Civilization is relatively new compared to the age of the universe. Age is relatively new compared to modern computers.

But neither civilization nor age are brand new.
Like I said -- more to do with carrier restrictions. Your carrier doesn't have Pixel 5 on the "allowed devices" whitelist, so when it sends a registration request via that eSIM the network rejects it. (Your carrier knows which phone model is attempting to activate a SIM, even a physical one, and can reject it for whatever reason. It's just less common)

My Pixel 2 supported WiFi Calling but my carrier didn't acknowledge it as "supported" and the carrier's servers refused to send it a settings file.
I believe there was a reddit thread one time about some family in New York that cut ties from their parents or grandparents, and due to some age old Kinship law, the elders could take children to court for not allowing them to see grandchildren or something of the like.

It's fascinating in the US that we've gotten to the point that families can break contact entirely and be successful but due to completely out of date institutions baked in to law, we're stuck with arbitrary reasons to engage with hostile people. As a judge, why would you ever grant rights of a grandparent willing to take their children to court to see their grand children short of an abuse related situation?

> You don't own digital assets in any sense

One of the largest classes of digital assets are personal files on individual phones and other personal computers. So yes, sometimes you do very clearly own digital assets (and no, a link about one time where some government broke the law and stole someone's files doesn't refute that).

Your personal photos on your PC are digital, they're a digital asset, and you do own them. No contract necessary. The same is true for all sorts of other types of personal digital files you might hold as personal property, from spreadsheets to backup email records to pdf files of contracts and on it goes.
The US, famously, funded many of the early drug cartels and trafficking networks in Latin America as part of its goal of destabilizing Latin American governments[1].

The even more extreme (and somewhat, but not completely, publicly substantiated) claim is that the USG used those illicit funding networks to additionally destabilize minority communities in the US by introducing heroin and "crack" cocaine.

There is no "either/or" with US foreign meddling and drug cartels. They're two sides of the same foreign policy.

Edit: The above focuses on Iran-Contra. Here's a link to broader allegations of drug trafficking/support for cartels in LatAm[2].

Pretty much everyone I know who worked in Software at Apple had a bad experience. The common refrain was that engineers are treated like crap at apple, and it's the designers who get all the glory.

It makes me excited for the future of software engineering to see moves like this. Clearly Apple, and many other companies, are starting to understand just how critical devs are to a modern business. And they are finding that to get good devs, you have to treat devs well too, in order to compete with companies like Google & Meta. My bet: salaries, especially for experienced engineers, continue to skyrocket.

There was also population growth as well as an increase in the velocity of money, compounded by the fact that the rural nobility was on fixed incomes, because taxes and levies were not adjusted to inflation. The inflation rate was 2 % or so, completely manageable with contemporary approaches.

> In Minnesota, the emphasis is on working hard at whatever you do, and living a good life

I moved to Minnesota from Connecticut about 20 years ago. When describing the company culture during my interview, my manager said "well, we have a choice of Summer hours to give you more time off during our very short summers, but come Winter, everyone just hunkers down and gets to work." Said with a broad smile and excitement about getting to work! Really nice guy though, and a damn good engineer.

Jesus took the punishment out of His own volition.

A man is convicted of a crime and the penalty is $1 million. Another man steps up and says he will pay the penalty.

In a way, you are right about it not being just. The convict deserves the punishment, but gets mercy instead. This is the nature of mercy and justice. They are opposed. Jesus paying for our penalty intertwines the two.

You obviously don't believe any of this is true or right. I don't make it my aim to convince you or anyone else. I'd be kidding myself if I thought I could do that. Just presenting Christian doctrine as accurately as I can.

> Just for the record, some of the examples Graeber uses include airline desk staff who calm passengers whose bags do not arrive, middle management, and corporate compliance officers.

> You can call these jobs “bullshit” if you rely on an oversimplified version of the world where perfect airlines, perfect employees, and automatically enforced laws exist.

You can also do so if, say, you are an anarchist who views capitalism as a system of exploitation and employment in wage labor as a modern form of slavery, which rather invalidates the idea of, rather than assuming the existence of, perfect airlines, perfect employees, or perfectly enforced (corporate) law.

I mention this because...well, you might want to read more of Graeber’s work (or even just more of Bullshit Jobs) to understand why.
The money supply doesn't directly effect inflation. The money supply causes an increase in demand which triggers inflation.

If you printed 10 trillion dollars and shot it into orbit around the Sun prices wouldn't change. People have to spend it creating increased demand. This is one of the reasons quantitative easing had little effect. They printed a bunch of money but it just sat in banks and was never spent.

Won't someone please think of the poor employers? /s
Stupid question: I assume that some of those employees -- if only some of the software/UI devs -- must be disabled or mobility-challenged.

How are they going to square this policy with disabilities legislation when it runs into a wheelchair user or someone with juvenile onset rheumatoid arthritis?

Or are they unintentionally indicating that as an employer they discriminate against the disabled?
