just checked my email. last pass account was created in 2015, not sure if the current leaked password has been in use that whole time, but it has definitely been quite a few years. moved over to 1passward in march of this year and likely have not used last pass at all since.
White is generally OK with a draw, though, and can e.g. sacrifice material for an attack or take other risks if there is a forced draw in case the attack fails.
Same feeling here, I'm on a 1920x1200 display. There are things animating at the bottom of the viewport that have disappeared by the time they're centred. The entire page is about 5 bullet points worth of text, but is in a massive font and requires three pages of distracting animated boxes. I can't just scan the text and see what the app does. Gimme all the info with no scrolling, and if you really want to go wild, do it below the fold.
If you build it, people will pay almost fits, but not quite the same as if profitable, they will build it, scariness notwithstanding. It has always and only been about money, as it should be.
Lol. Sweden is the only one that didn't do lockdowns and even that failed. They could have a chance of success because of the low population density, which isn't transferable to other countries.

That aside, check your facts please.
> the size of the observable universe 93 billion light years diameter

While observable Universe will always be 93 billion light years in diameter, it is worth noting that everything is moving away from everything faster than gravity can counteract. That is, the Causally Disconnected (un-observable) Universe is inflating faster, the bigger it gets.

Bypassing early 2000s copy protection for software preservation
I don't think people really understand how the entire world is a complete fiction. The idea of ownership is made up. Your house deed isn't a statement of ownership. It's a promise that if ever someone ever comes with a gun to take it from you, a larger group of people with guns will take it from them and give it back to you. The whole world is a fractal fiction invented by other people. NFTs like any other symbol of value depend on the collective social fiction.
I guess I'm missing something about how this works, but why is this not showing up on https://news.ycombinator.com/show?
As a 100% atheist, I disagree strongly with every single one of your statements.

To elaborate,

> Most anthiests seem to be nihilists

Not true

> they're already (claiming to be) doing that

No, they're not

> the logical conundrum of "I don't need a God or theology to live a good life"

There's no conundrum or contradiction here, plenty of us live good lives

> our constructed definition of "good" comes from religion

Sounds like a made-up fact. I don't need an omnipotent third party to validate that taking another person's life, or stealing from them, etc. is not right. Empathy and the idea of "do unto others" are quite easily understandable and relatable outside of the context of religion.
All good using Brave.
Ask HN: Which Language(s) to Migrate Application To?
Application context:
Currently a fairly basic .NET application that has been dead in the water for a bit due to the original author leaving the company. A few tables, a few pages, fairly simple AWS API calls. From what I can tell, not a compute intensive application.

Company context:
Small, been frozen for some time due to the developer not working on the code at all, hard to hire for the codebase without spending a lot of money that they don't have. Ideally having me come in, within 4-6 months having a slightly improved version of the application up and running, but on a more common stack. I would be in charge of hiring new developers to work with me on the project right away.

My background:
Been working in Python for about 5 years, the past 2 years have been very intense on Python. The past year I have been working in Go as well. We have moved some of our API's to Go due to the speed gains from the migration. I would say I am significantly more comfortable with Python, but I know the performance I can get from Go is very nice.

The ask:
Which language do I migrate the backend API's to? I have been torn between the two languages. Python would be the fastest off the ground for me, since that is what I am more comfortable with, but Go might be more "future-proof"? What if we implement some more compute heavy features that may benefit from the speedup of Go? I believe the timeline is doable for both languages, with Python getting finished sooner I am sure. Is it worth taking the risk of maybe running up on the deadline with Go?

Any suggestions on frontend are also welcome, currently just going with React due to my own past experience.
I had it a long time and was not sure the pain was localized in the jaw (was it the neck, shoulders, back?) or even the extent to which there was a physical lesion or it was how my brain was interpreting things.

My dentist told me I was grinding my teeth and prescribed a bite guard and within two weeks the pain got better but became very definitely focalized in the jaw and I noticed ‘popping’ as a symptom.

It has been about 1.5 years since the diagnosis. last summer I went through a phase of throwing a lot of random food into a pot and hitting it with an immersion blender, getting shakes from Burger King whenever I felt like it, etc. I lost almost 20 kg.

I have been eating more normally since, it doesn’t bother me very often.
At the machine level there is absolutely a difference. one means your data is right here, the other means the data is elsewhere. That poor data locality can cause cache misses and always consumes extra cycles.
> D+ supports group watch.

Even when the paid service supports it, they can add complications, for example. Amazon Prime group watch doesn't work between my Irish subscription and my friend's UK subscription even when the media is available in both regions.
It seems to offer reminders (at time and place) to read unread articles, which is pretty cool.
It's unfortunate that my article, that was only meant to reach fellow module developers after my messages were deleted from the VCV community, was Streisanded and misinterpreted like that.

Most of us who have quit have not quit due to one incident, but due to a pattern of behavior over months. The incident you are bringing up was just the last straw. And what you are linking to is only what remains of the incident, as posts are often deleted, and disagreeing with moderation goes against VCV's code of conduct. Please do not assume you can read the archives of any incident and see an honest account of the full chronology.

The last time my article showed up on HN, a few people complained that my "product announcement" was too long and confused. Had I known it'd be on HN, I would never have mentioned what I was up to, as I have nothing to sell. I operate in an entirely different way than HN startup culture. These are passion projects done on my own time, and passion is fickle. Writing about my experiences was in part about making my peace with half a year of lost creative drive about music hacking. The audience was meant to be the dozen of fellow third-party developers who were fed up with coping with hostility and impostor syndrome.

I mean, if you really wanted to base your opinions on science, you wouldn’t hold off on vaccines based on a single study that is not even in the meta-analysis level, no? And since you’re the type who likes to be sure, I wonder if your hesitancy to take the vaccine is grounded on professional medical advice, at all?
I don't think that the motive, or authenticity of the author of the CES letter should matter too much, if you do due diligence and actually research the topics, which I have. However, to your point I'll add a few more decent sources.

My personal favorite is the "Letter to My wife"[0] - similar to the CES letter but a little softer and more historically based and less fueled by emotion.

There's also a good document[1] featuring many times where the church has lied on the record with at least 152 cases.

There's also the podcast: MormonStories[2].

One of the best episodes being where they interview Tom Phillips a Stake President who has been friends and associated with general authorities. [3]

> [Excerpt from synopsis]: Many LDS Church members are unaware that a secret LDS temple ordinance called the “Second Anointing” is regularly being administered by LDS Church apostles to elite friends, family, and leaders (mostly stake presidents, temple presidents, mission presidents, and LDS general authorities, along with their wives). In this ordinance (according to reports) an apostle washes the feet of the couple in the temple, anoints them on the head with oil such that their “calling and election is made sure” (guaranteeing them a place in the Celestial Kingdom), and then invites the couple to retreat to a room in the temple, wherein the wife washes her husband’s feet, and then lays her hands on his head to give him a special priesthood blessing.

> In June of 2012 I interviewed Tom Phillips, former LDS church stake president in London, England U.K. In this interview he discusses the following:

- His early experiences as a bishop and stake president in the LDS church, along with his friendship with LDS apostle Jeffrey R. Holland.
- His experience receiving a secret/sacred LDS church ordinance called the “Second Anointing,” wherein he > - was anointed by the hands of Elder M. Russel Ballard, and assured exaltation in there hereafter.
- His subsequent loss of faith over historical and scientific issues with the church.
- His direct correspondence with then friend, LDS apostle Jeffrey R. Holland, over these troubling issues.
- The pain, suffering, and ultimate divorce that he and his family experienced as a result of his faith crisis.
- Additional details about Tom’s story can be found here [http://mormonthink.com/tomphillips.htm].

I wasnt the one saying security manager was the same as an acl.

Nothing you posted explains why a reference to the security manager class isn't a token.

It seems to me more that you dont understand either capabilities or the old security manager class.

That's really so strange.

What is the probability that you, techknight (the other user in this thread) and me used the exact same compromised software back in ~2017 and had our master passwords stolen then? And for that person/bot (in Brazil) to try all of those master passwords now?

It's beginning to look like this is a LastPass issue, no..?
I don't get it, it didn't look fully untangled. It seems like they should have to bundle it too.
Stay with medicine.

You're not too old though, ageism is real in every industry but you're always going to be competing with people who started coding as a child etc, but the only 'competition' that ever matters is with yourself.

And keeping coding as a hobby keeps the passion, you may like it now but when you're a cog in a wheel at <company> grinding out nothing relevant it'll destroy you mentally and grind you down, it'll destroy whatever passion you have.

Medicine also gives you an advantage, you'll be able to spot opportunities to automate systems and processes with your coding ability.

Just my 2C.
Is there an official counter for phpBB RCEs/vulnerabilities that revealed user passwords? This has been going on for decades now. It's getting ridiculous.
>We have nothing equivalent to a VHS recorder where can simply press a button, recording whatever is on TV to a removable media and play it anywhere else! We can't even buy a non-smart (actually calling it smart is dumb) TV for a reasonable price anymore!

to the first part, some of the "antenna to HDMI" boxes let you plug in an SSD, and will let you have a "recording loop" like a DVR, and also let you DVR scheduled shows. If you then take that drive and plug it in to a computer, it will have files that open with VLC/mpv/mplayer/whatever.

And to the second part, I used a large monitor as a TV for a long while, and my primary screen is a projector, both of which are just dumb "bits to nits" devices. The downside is having to have external speakers.

The article addresses this:

> I had to admit the company delivered on its promise: the Framework truly is the most owner-friendly laptop I’ve ever used.

> I almost wrote “user-friendly” there, but it doesn’t quite describe why I think so highly of this device. Sure, the laptop’s clever design makes a very complicated piece of tech feel pretty simple to use.... But it does still demand a certain amount of interest in tinkering with your laptop... No, the Framework is the most owner-friendly laptop I’ve ever seen because it’s clearly designed by people who respect their customers.... Of course, none of these features would matter much if the laptop itself was subpar. On the contrary: in my experience it’s a well-built ultraportable that’s as slim and easy to carry as a MacBook Air, with a comfy keyboard, a great 1080p webcam, and more than enough power to tackle anything you’d do in the course of a workday.
I wish someone with expertise could interpret for us the significance and purpose of the variations.

LACNIC says the IP range was transferred to AFRINIC. They then say that it is owned by:

But then further note that ownership is in dispute! We need someone to look it up in the current routing tables to see where it's presently being routed to.
I know that each cable in VCV Rack imposes a 1-sample delay. However isn't the audio still transmitted to the audio interface in blocks? It's not clear why a DAW would need an intermediary in this case, other than something analogous to the VCV Rack 2 Pro VST instrument host. The reason not use Rack is so that it could be an open standard with multiple host implementations.

We have been using metrics driven product development lately. What we have been doing is hypothesize what will grow our product feature based on org identity, talking to customers, looking at the market. We define some metrics which we believe represents the success metrics in the best way possible. Some are based on domain expertise, some are just best guess. We use these metrics as a way to ascertain the hypothesis. We are not using it as indicator to build the next thing. The thing is that the success hypothesis or strategy might be wrong so we are willing to throw that away and start all over again. Not sure if it is the best way to do it.
but is a traditional database cryptographically secure? if a super user with write permissions (or, say, direct access to the physical data store) modifies records are users able to validate the integrity of the data?
That's a problem, especially with low-end power supplies.

I designed a switching power supply a few years ago for a specialist application - driving 1930s Teletype machines which need 120VDC 60mA.[1] A switching power supply is a spike generator. Here's the schematic.[2]

This is reasonably RF-quiet. The transformer of the switching power supply is a toroid in a metal can, so you don't get too much RF from the transformer itself. But that's not where it usually comes from. The important thing is to keep spikes out of both the input and output wiring. That's dealt with by using LTSpice to simulate the circuit, and adding small capacitors and inductors until the spikes have disappeared in both voltage and current. At the output end, note the snubber C7, R1, D10, and D11, to soak up any spikes from the inductive load, and L2, to soak up output side current spikes. There's L1 and C12, to soak up kickback from the switched input side of the power supply. Plus C10 at the power input, which is from a USB port. They're all tiny surface mount components. The inductors are ferrite beads in surface mount form.

So there are eight extra components, just to prevent unwanted RF generation.
The LTSpice simulation shows that they're all needed. The simulation was used to choose the values.

This is why good switching power supplies have more parts than bad ones. You see that in teardown videos.

thank you for your perspective. obviously i am completely naive about the real world so i appreciate you telling me what it is really like as a developer.

And those with long covid — 20-30% of victims, last I read — typically undergo an excruciating life.
I am not Nietzsche expert, but from the little reading I have done it appears that in many context resource poor people have "slave morality" and resource rich people have "master morality". For example, in partner dances, people who are not very popular dance partners argue that "everybody should dance with everybody", whereas people who are very popular dance partners argue that "i did not train 10 years to dance with beginners". And you can see this in almost any human endeavour.

Astronomical Images are calculated in Hours, and I have no idea how long the average image will be for NIRCam on JWST, but your average Space Photo from Ground Telescopes is usually a combination of 5 to 15 minutes images, with a total imaging time from 10 - 40 hours.

I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I pray multiple times a day—either to express gratitude or ask for strength to weather whatever struggles I’m facing. I also pray to ask for help and insight so I can do well at school and work. I exercise and try to eat healthily, because I believe my body is a gift from God. I cherish the time that I have with my family, because it is in my family that I feel the purest expression of God‘s love.

In my local congregation, I teach a biweekly class on family history. I love learning more about my ancestors! If you are ever curious to learn more about your heritage, I highly recommend checking out familysearch.org— it is an amazing program, and you do not have to be a member of the church to use it. I know several people who are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ who still like using familysearch.org because it is free and works very well.

CEOs are generally not going to take on any risk to the company -- especially one that exists in a highly regulated segment of the market -- for the purpose of an interesting interview.

Yep, I’ve been converted.

But last year, rather than the sandal version, I got the closed toe, leather slipper versions. And I wear them everywhere. To the point where the sole wore out in 9 months, but I had a cobbler replace it.

My only gripe with the sandals is that rocks, twigs, etc come in from the front. It still happened, but far less commonly with the closed toe.

> This is a severe problem, and I predict that this is going to cause real security issues

That is a nasty problem, particularly in larger projects with different subsystems interacting (like say an xml parser and another).

I suspect it's worse in some ways as Zig has good marketing as being "safer" language despite still having the same fundamental memory flaws as C/C++. In the worse case that could lull programmers into complacency. I mean it looks "modern" so it's safe right? Just do some testing and it's all good.

Currently I'm skeptical Zig will get a production-ready memory safety. Currently there's only GC's or linear/affine types and Zig doesn't appear to be pursuing either. Aliased pointers aren't something that's properly handled by adhoc testing IMHO.
If someone somehow knew they were using GPL code before the suit, they can easily do the same check after the suit
