LastPass has suffered a few security breaches and the overall quality of the product hasn’t improved. 1Password is a superior product with no security breaches.
For an (Elixir) application I'm building, I'm hoping to use it as a scripting engine which allows end users of the application to script custom behaviors for the application. It's still early days for this project and there are many bigger fish to fry than the scripting feature, but my initial impressions are that this is a good candidate for this task.
Eero is an exception there. Their quality is terrific.
do you have any thoughts on these? IMO they're selectively enforced
> The Framework’s remarkable expansion card system is another reason why this laptop is my favorite of the year. If you’re not familiar with it, the bottom of the laptop sports four slots, each of which accepts a Framework Expansion Card that slides into place with a click and connects to the laptop via USB-C…

It’s literally custom USB-C dongles. If Apple shipped this people would decry them as leveraging their lock in to make people buy basic ports that should have been built in for free.

> You could swap in an HDMI out when you’re going to give a presentation, for example, or a microSD card reader when you need to pull some photos off a camera.

Yep. That’s how dongles work.
Any project with a decent test coverage and CI can easily set up an ASAN / Valgrind run for their tests. I know I've had this on the last few C++ codebases I've worked with.
nLite takes me back to the days of having a carputer in my TT, complete with a touchscreen, rugged industrial PC chassis and a special PSU hooked up to the ignition. Good times!
Yup. The blogger was just being cranky about their bank.

Why would the Germans amend their rules? Those are the rules are for all non-EU countries, not just Britain.
I was surprised how many eastern European countries seem to top the list of excess death counts per capita, and have much higher excess deaths than official covid deaths.

Does anyone know what the causes are? Are they dealing with much worse epidemics of addiction, alcohol, poverty, or something else than most of the world? Or did they have an older population? Or is it mostly from covid but under-reported, and somehow eastern Europe was especially hard-hit?
The chaos game is one of my favorite things! I first came across it nearly 15 years ago from James Gleick's excellent book Chaos and in fact I learned how to program so that I could actually implement the chaos game.

After spending many years idly reflecting on why the chaos game converged to the Sierpinski triangle, I'd like to share an illustrated proof of mine that might be enjoyed by this audience: https://arun.chagantys.org/technical/2020/04/28/chaos-game.h...
I never understood why someone would go out of their way to get a specific compressor until I tried an LA-2A emulation. Once I heard that signature "squash" from the simulated opto-electrical circuit, it clicked.
I've had very little contact with Mikrotik products, but that's the amazing thing about them, to me.

Any old Mikrotik device can run the absolute latest firmware (at least as far as I could tell, and I've got a 8+ year old Mikrotik device).
it certainly does look like a lastpass issue....
Opinionated guide to writing the best code humanly possible
What browser extensions do you have installed?
What prompted the move to 1password? Curious as I am deciding myself which service to use.
Lastpass has been a pile of hot garbage for a while, so this is somehow not surprising.
Python would be a lot more maintainable, since you should have no problems hiring entry level or mid level Python devs.
> Is that a coincidence, or did this SMBH eat one of those enormous stars that's the diameter of Venus' orbit?

au contraire, enormous (in terms of mass not volume) but dying Neutron stars are so compressed under their own gravity, some are barely 12 to 25 kilometers in diameter of highly condensed Iron and other stable atomic arrangements, and may be spinning 40,000 times per minute on their own axis. Sometimes, there are two of those in a binary system, orbiting each other, on a collision course for a Kilonova, spraying out bazillion tonnes of star and planet making substances across a Galaxy.

A blackhole gulping Neutron Stars down would make for an interesting event!
Rereading that sentence I can see how it could be read as applying to Fisher’s book but it was the world passed through a neoliberal filter that I attempted to describe.
"It is not necessary really."

Agnostic.

There could be a creator out there that never made itself known to us.

Also, my experiences with Sleep Paralysis makes me feel like something is out there.

I went from a devout Christian (7th day adventist) for 20 years of my life -> to atheist -> to agnostic.
The default firmware on C7 is quite nice and is good enough for most users. I guess OpenWRT gives more options for power-users though.
I wonder how much sugar in everything by weight is actually sitting on the average grocery store's shelves and what percentage by weight that is to everything else, not counting packaging.
There's also a presentation from several years ago about this project by Robert Virding that's worth watching if you're into the Erlang eco-system even without need of a Lua implementation in Erlang:

Unless I’m misremembering, the login to their general system was done by never sending the password over the wire. Instead they used js to do some sort of hashing type system locally.

But during the heartbleed attack when their systems were shown to be vulnerable, that was one of their arguments as to why it wasn’t so bad.

When I go to that link (on iOS), my only option is to “view in app”, which is a shitty option to offer.

PWAs would free them from having to put up with Apple’s restrictions crap.
I write a lot of back end stuff in Python for my own account such as some IoT functionality for my smart home, workflow systems for making machine learning training sets, filtering images for art projects, filtering social media posts, job listings, etc.

It is all a lot of fun but it is also low volume, mostly driven by me, myself and I with a little bit of ‘friends and family.’

Python does not deal with concurrency well so I would not be confident that these applications would hold up to heavy use.

For the last 15 years or so every back end I have worked on professionally has either been JVM or .NET. To be frank, rewriting an application in a different language is one of the most certain ways to launch a failing project. It is right up there with leaving your spouse to get a better lover in terms of success rate.

I would say though that Go is an appropriate choice if you are succeeding with it now.
I do read a lot as well. One of my favorite purchases is also reading-related. It's the 'professional bookrest' - just a simple bookrest from wood. Could be every other really, but the bookrest has improved my reading experience greatly. Decreasing neck and back pain. Also overall more relaxing: put a book there, fixate the current page, get comfy and enjoy reading :)
I don't quite understand, how come "expected deaths" are almost the same across the whole year. Winter flu season is known to have a much higher death toll than summers, I remember reading news of triage tents were set up during winter flu season in new york.
I believe many of them are directly correlated because of influence of Russia. Those countries have more anti-vaxxers too.

Some of them have bought the Russian vaccine and well... That's not working out for them.

Similar to other countries that bought the Russian vaccine fyi. So you could check out Brasil and Mexico as a reference for my statement.

I can't think of another cause/correlation.
In the C example str is heap allocated, so it’s not associated with r and leaked in that example. I should free it to make that clear!

After writing a lot of rust code this year it’s sort of weird reading that, and seeing that aspect of the code not be explicit or obvious.
Quran 2.177: Piety does not lie in turning your face to East or West: Piety lies in believing in God, the Last Day and the angels, the Scriptures and the prophets, and disbursing your wealth out of love for God among your kin and the orphans, the wayfarers and mendicants, freeing the slaves, observing your devotional obligations, and in paying the zakat and fulfilling a pledge you have given, and being patient in hardship, adversity, and times of peril. These are the men who affirm the truth, and they are those who follow the straight path.
Because if humans would recognize animal suffering, it would be harder to continue treating them like wood, or oil, or grass. Objects with no feelings.

I hate how we abuse animals just because we can. It's very cruel and primitive. But this entire planet is cruel and primitive because that's the general state of consciousness of leaders and corporations.
Groundststion as a Service. I had no idea this existed. I am continuously amazed at how many things Amazon churns out "as a service".
Quick note that apple allows you to download a recovery code and disable all other account recovery mechanisms which I found incredibily soothing.
I don’t think we’re going to agree here, even though I’ve tried to find common ground a few times. The good that comes from recognition is being able to place yourself in someone else’s shoes and empathize better with their lived experiences, thus enabling you to better understand their situation. If you don’t find that worthwhile, I don’t think I can convince you to.

But, for what it’s worth, I’m certainly not trying to be any kind of “knight.” I’m just trying to have a calm and open discussion.
This seems to be exactly how Gatsby et al work, by pulling in "dynamic" content over an API at build time. I've never seen this being used to re-render a site based on third-party changes like comments, but it's popular to pull data from a first-party system like a CMS containing e.g. the blog posts.

Though I wonder if the prevalence of programmable edge networks will leapfrog that before it becomes really mainstream, and allow site owners to add a small bit of edge dynamism to pull dynamic content in without client-side JS.
There's a lot one can do with medical-domain knowledge that's not doable by those without field-based training. This can include collaborating with developers as you can speak their language to some degree if you have done that kind of work.

But in general, people aren't too old if they can competently do the work they're asked to do. Design, develop, debug, test. Whether or not this is buried by ageism is another matter. But then, one could say that age is irrelevant when dealing with those who can't deliver.
The Jazz Standards: A Guide to the Repertoire
You sound exactly like me... it definitely was rough, though I wasn't as active in the end (got tired of right-wing viewpoints from the pulpit, so started staying home more and more)...

In many ways my shelf-breaking liberated me, in others it crushed pieces of me. In the end I'm probably more spiritual, if agnostic (though I do believe the universe could have some sort of universal consciousness, or be a simulation, or something along those lines and an afterlife is possible -- we are energy after all and perhaps whatever consciousness is - gets another purpose after it leaves...but none of the requires a deity, and I'm pretty sure all deities worshipped are man made, and even if there really were a GOD we're too insignificant to matter much to him, we're one tiny planet in a universe with billions of galaxies, probably billions of civilizations spanning eons, etc...
)

I'm often inspired by the beauty in the universe, or the things my children do, etc... or just humanity. Not having church context surrounding those things has made them even more enjoyable.
GCompris 2.0
In NZ we just about eliminated flu (and COVID until recently), with resulted in the negative excess deaths reported in the article.
I don't remember which extensions I had in 2017, unfortunately...
I love how any time anyone says that maybe porn shouldn't be available for every 9 year old with a tablet people get up in arms about it.

OP didn't say ban all porn, but it should be more tightly regulated and its consumption has proven to be damaging.
I don’t think we’ll agree here, but point taken at the end - I shouldn’t have said “you are making it that.” Apologies - I was getting a little annoyed.
Dunno. I know a lot of doctors who really hate their jobs. I know unhappy software devs but the passion and intensity of doctors who hate their jobs is on another level.

If what you postulate is true in that we can’t instill ethics and enact change due to greed and a focus on self-enrichment then it seems safe to assume that goes for capping limits on earnings as well.
That's really bad news.
People are always saying (smugly) how crucial LastPass is...
You touched on a number of interesting topics and I'm sure we could go down a rabbit hole of tangents : ) It sounds like you have come to some sort of understanding of how the world and "God" works.

Myself, I find the concept of an omni-powerful "being", "God", force exceptionally far-fetched, without any concrete scientific evidence that I'm aware of. I'm ok with the understanding that humans are simply animals that evolved exceptionally large brains. It was inevitable that we'd use start using those brains to ask, "Why the fuck are we here?" followed by the birth of thousands of various religions and beliefs over the millennia.

Yes, I could be wrong but this general philosophy makes sense to me at this point in my life. I don't believe there is any objective meaning to life aside from creating my own meaning, and so far it's working out well.
Try using !sp for startpage - gives you google results without the tracking.

If the parents all say the same thing, then you will have social proof, but it will be wrong.

You must, regardless of the hurdles, find a way to survey children or graduated children. When parents find out that their child was not socialized, despite their strong belief to the contrary, they will be left with children who no longer wish to be around them.

You can easily design a study to steer people to homeschooling, by only asking the parents. They have too much invested in being alternative education experts and it's hard to admit that you played around and messed up with how you schooled your children. If homeschooling turn out ok, the upside is that a child will have a maybe slightly better educational experience. If homeschooling turns out to not be ok, the downside is that you will permanently damage parent-child relationships.

You're playing with fire by even attempting this study, the way you have it set up right now.
Sure, but the nearest planets, stars, and galaxies to earth also gives an idea of the scale they are talking about. Sure you could say nearest the milky way, but sadly I suspect that a decent fraction of folks wouldn't not respond with "Milky Way" when asking for what galaxy the earth is in.
Please don't post unsubstantive dismissals, no matter how wrong another comment is or you feel it is. Responding this way just leads to flamewars. We don't want those here because they dumb the forum down and then destroy it.

Then half a day time could've been saved by having the PS4 briefly connected to the internet via 4G.
I am missing whatever the brain circuit is that makes you understand and believe in religions.

I can't even call myself atheist or agnostic, as that would require assuming that the statement "Is there a god?" is both coherent, meaningful, and answerable.

Imagine asking someone with aphantasia to visualize Donald Duck, and then asking them if Donald is wearing pants. What would you expect them to answer?

We used this at a work hackathon to enable customers to submit custom scripts, written in a Lua API we defined, to add custom vulnerability checks to our Elixir-based security scanner. It was fantastic.
Most likely under-reported COVID deaths. Having looked at the Russia data at least, many deaths (earlier on) were marked with "pneumonia" and they didn't even bother testing for COVID.
If you want to work for FANG and you are not bright eyed, bushy tailed and out of school and ready to do it their way in every way then ageism is going to be a problem. Other employers are not so bad.

I have had some hard job searches and had people telling me I was probably an ageism victim 15 years ago. Maybe I am too old to rock and roll but certainly not too old to code.
Yes it does. Just check excess deaths, that's what this article is about...

They both already reduce severe illness.

Additionally, it's not just about the efficiency of the vaccine. But the Russian vaccine is overpromised and underdelivered regarding to sales/deliveries to the countries that agreed to buy it.

They are severely failing to deliver the 2nd dose as promised. Let's not go into detail about the corruption associated with it too...

Plenty of resources to verify if you did a little bit of effort ;)

They didn't even do phase 3 trials and refuse to give sufficient information to the WHO. That's what you get for rushing things just to call dibs.

What a mess.
Can I ask a dumb question...why didn't you use one of the print-on-demand providers like Printify? Costs? Or something else I haven't even considered?
LastPass was my first thought, but I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue and decided it couldn't possibly be them. Now I'm not sure!

One of these days, I need to create a guide like this for OS X 10.9 Mavericks. I have a bunch of tools at https://jonathanalland.com/old-osx-projects.html, but it could badly use some overarching instructions.
VCs Lavished Startups with Cash in 2021. Now Comes the Hard Part
Russia appears to be in deep denial. Some of that influence will spread through the ethnic Russian population in other Eastern European countries.

Follow the link in the article to the overall likely undercount, based on excess deaths. It is pretty horrifying.
Haha no.

There is nothing fun or interesting about security. I don't think developers are enjoying security in general - in fact it's responsible for why things often are complex and difficult (specially when you are forced to use "best practices" which is another rabbit hole of stupidity sometimes)
Sweden was decimated! Everyone died!

You're conflating what was done with what was viewed as effective.

And Sweden wasn't the only country. Off the top of my head, South Korea and a few of the -stan countries also did not. Additionally lockdown is a spectrum. Many counties in the US were perhaps lockdown in principle but not in practice.
> the problem is that you are pretending to care now.

No need to be hostile. I haven't attacked you or anyone else.

I never said they didn't have political opinions, it just didn't seem to be politics first. That has changed over the last decade or so, I'm guessing it's a generational shift. I'm fine with that and I'm not asking anyone to change anything. Calm down.

Barclays recently tried sending me a new credit card because they were changing to Mastercard or something.

I got an email one day that my new Barclaycard was activated. Called support, and they swore to me it was a phishing email (it was definitely from Barclay's official domain). Would not listen to me at all and kept trying to get me to hang up. I asked if I could tell them the email MessageID and they could verify the authenticity. They said no.

About 10 minutes into trying to convince them it was not a phishing email, I refresh my dashboard and there was a $600 purchase at a Long Island Walmart. That shut them up really quickly and they transferred me to their fraud department who asked me for the MessageID at the bottom of the activation email and confirmed it was real...

I asked if I could set up any additional security, and how could they activate a new credit card? Did they have my online password? Apparently no, you can just call on the phone and activate it, no authentication required. They told me I could set up a "voice password" for my account for all phone support and I did just that.

I called them back 30 minutes later, got through to support to where I could change anything about my account. Asked them if my "Voice Password" was enabled. "Yes it is." "....Okay, no one has asked me for my voice password yet, and here you are about to change my address". They still didn't really understand the seriousness, so I told them "I'm not <my name> I'm a hacker trying to steal his money." and they understood.

The worst part? I couldn't cancel that credit card until they physically sent me one to activate. No way to visit a branch and get one. It ended up getting stolen out of the mail THREE TIMES before they finally sent it with a signature required.

A modern day equivalent of this rich state of equilibrium can be observed in Chernobyl. The place was decimated by nuclear radiation a few decades ago. Initially it was believed that the place never support any large life forms for many centuries. However wild life is currently thriving in Chernobyl including large mammals and birds [0].
