My Anova touchscreen frequently fails to work in service, I think because of the humidity, which seems like something reasonably foreseeable by the designers...

I like it, but now leave it pre-set to 135°F lest I set it elsewhere and then lose the ability to adjust it, so I think they dropped the ball on the design.
> a glorified key-value store?

That's what LastPass is, which is why they were holed multiple times. Turns out it's quite hard to implement a secure key-value store.
> Opensubtitles became really frustrating to use once they began asking for a login and a password to download subtitles in VLC or Xbmc/kodi (basically every time you need to use the API).

This was actually optional, and always was. I think the issue was that they had made some changes in the backend, but the addons didn't update the code to accommodate. At least this was the case for Kodi. The opensubtitles addon has essentially become abandonware anyway. There are now third-party addons that provide the same functionality but without a login, and across different subtitle websites.
If more people did things differently in this fashion the world would be a very different place. Too bad this doesn't happen and the users who actually decline make up less than 0.01%, probably below any error margin.

People just don't care until they personally get a kick in their face. We all know that and companies bet on it.

> Keeping things under as tight a wrap as possible with extreme OPSEC[0] is one of those things Apple has always done, and it’s entirely unsurprising that Jobs would get very cross about a supplier fucking that up.

I sat across from a Graphic Designer at Apple who accidentally published some of the iPods marketing assets to the website a few days before the launch. It was discovered soon after by a rumour site and there was a flurry of meetings to fix it.

The designer was never fired or reprimanded. And he never received a screaming phone call from Steve Jobs.

I am not privy to vendor negotiations but would be really surprised if Apple was making multi-billion decisions based solely on a vendor leaking something. Especially back then when Apple wasn't out of its recovery.

> fiber is less physically robust

Maybe this used to be the case long ago, but I don’t think it’s true today. Personally I’m pretty rough with fiber (having slammed cabinet doors on fiber, looped fiber around posts with a low bend radius, left the ends exposed to dust, etc) and had no issues within a data center. Can’t say the same for copper. Even the cheapest 10km optics have more margin when your link is only 50m.

Oh and bend insensitive fiber is dirt cheap and works just fine when it’s tied into knots.

> It's a bit mind-boggling that FOSS authors who give their work away for free are the selfish baddies, and Microsoft of all people, are the communistic heroes in your telling.

The discussion is about Github - microsoft - undoing the author's changes, the guy I replied to saying that this was good because he felt the author was "doing harm". So he definitely is saying that microsoft are the heroes there defeating "harm". And since he is supposed to be "doing harm" for his own benefit, the FOSS author being overridden by microsoft is the "selfish baddie".

For my edification, if you have a moment you can you help me understand where my comment failed to hew to a valid analysis of that part of the discussion and became some nasty straw manning activity?
This is a low quality flamebait article.

> Very rarely is the added complexity of frameworks justified and the added risk of breaking stuff down the line makes it a NO GO for serious software deployments. Only toy software and very small applications can justify the usage of frameworks and the likes.

There are definitely downsides to using frameworks, but this statement directly flies in the face of evidence. There's a ton of commercially successful software using frameworks, just think of all the things that are powered by React, Ruby on Rails or Spring Boot.
> depends on your current foreign policy.

"depends on the media". FTFY.
I wouldn't say it was extremely simple but I managed to move our company from LastPass to Bitwarden a few months ago. There is definitely an export & import process available. I did have to do some minor CSV cleanup on what LP generated though. Additionally, I purged and repeated the import process a few times once I familiarized myself with how "Collections" and company-wide sharing works in BW. But in the end it was certainly worth it despite the effort.
I remember writing a lot of early web stuff in Perl/CGI.

I already said this but I guess I have to repeat it: MLs create dictatorships and dictatorships based on wishful thinking, and lying to themselves as well. I don't support them, in fact such systems are basically equivalent to fascism. They're a step backwards into monarchy, but worse because they're ideological rather than pragmatically oriented.

That doesn't invalidate the point that capitalism has some significant flaws that we should be trying to address. As an anarchist I believe that these flaws cannot be fundamentally addressed by just changing our masters. In the short term (as in, my lifetime) all I can hope for is an increase in the prevalence of worker cooperatives and unions, nationalisation of naturally monopolistic necessities like healthcare and public transit, improved welfare systems (UBI would be good) and improved community bonds. In the long run I think the ideal human system would be without coercion, oriented around cooperation and coordinated from the bottom up - but as ideals should be, this is something to guide efforts towards to the degree practical, not to throw human bodies at in the pursuit of power and a fever dream (plus little power over others is to be begin with in anarchism, that's the point).

Same here. Opensource also adds to security in this case.

Also BitWarden's server has no knowledge of your phrase, and hence cannot, never ever, read your data. Forgetting your phrase means you lose your wallet. 1Pass and competitors do not have such guarantee, and allow one to retrieve access to the wallet by other means.

This is the "reverse" approach to AR. With Hololens etc. you see the real world and they overlay the screen over your real world. With the Quest, it's called passthrough, and you see everything on screens but real-time video from the real world is mixed in.

Calling MIRVs cluster bombs is, uh, probably stretching the definition of “cluster bomb” a bit. The problem with the latter is unexploded (but still dangerous) submunitions that are difficult to find and dispose of once the conflict is over, compare antipersonnel mines. But if you’re hit by a MIRV nuclear strike… well, the issue of post bellum disposal of potential duds is very very far down the list of your problems!
I know I shouldn't, but okay I'll bite.

> It seems there's some secret list of things you're allowed to attack prominent dead scientists about.

Highlighting certain views that I scientist held to be problematic because they focussed their work to prove those views (e.g. Nazis and eugenics) is indeed "allowed". Using someone's death and your own ignorance of basic science, to promote your own political views, is not.

Show HN: A simple tool to help filter recruiter spam
I made a tool for myself to act as a filter for recruiter messages.

I was tired of getting vague messages and doing the typical messaging back and forth only to hear the salary was too low or the job didn't have remote.

The tool lets you create a form with a selection of only the filters you want on there.
You give a unique link to recruiters that will take them to the your form
They can fill in your form (or not)
If their responses pass your filters you'll get an email. If their responses fail your filters, the recruiter gets an email saying so, so they know not to bother you again.

The idea is that recruiters can never see your filter values

You can rate limit individual recruiter submissions per day (they have to log in to submit)

Keen for any feedback thanks!

I'm especially keen for any feedback from recruiters if you do decide to use it :)

cheers,

You may archive it in various ways. Followers may be a mixed blessing. Toxic hurtful people I would block to protect myself. It is a public archive for me. If people appreciate that, then that is great.

For many years I was reluctant to tell people about what I could do. The misrepresenting and cruelness hurts. And I did not feel strong enough before to share that. I was afraid that the mean words of another my damage my belief and my ability. Although I have been skeptical I know it is also necessary for me to believe. I wanted to regulate my emotions and thoughts about this ability as I went through the process of development. Prematurely sharing and exposing myself to the cruelty and misrepresentation of others, was something I was afraid would harmfully interfere with my ability to regulate, on my own terms, my emotions and thoughts about this, and I was scared it would also impact my development of my abilities.

So I carefully shared at each stage. Posting here today was another step for me. The significance of the Tonga event and the clarity of my predata on it is a milestone for me.

I knew something huge was coming but I did not anticipate the predata would be such a stunning hit.

Although, there are inaccuracies. I had the water and land mix, I had the undersea volcano and tsunami but I said North Pacific Ocean. When in fact Tonga is in the South Pacific ocean.

If you examine the history of my recorded predata and analysis and association with possible event hits you will see that these types of inaccuracies, either in time, geographic location or the event type are present.

Finally, in response to your earlier comment, I see it was perhaps a tactical error to respond to the misrepresentation of my work by adding additional examples to this thread. I anticipated that would expose me to further risks by little targeting more days then just the Tonga data. But for some reason I was careless and did it anyway. Perchance it is this: the pandemic data really stands out for me and holds its own.
We're on the process of migrating from LastPass to self-hosted Psono[0]. I've not yet used Psono enough to say anything except that it seems better than LastPass, but that's not a hard goal to reach. With LastPass the whole UI/UX seemed awfully complex and cluttered and devoid of many handy QoL features like copying a password straight to clipboard. Their Chrome extension is also a true heavyweight[1].

Quadriga CEO's widow speaks out over his death and the missing crypto millions
"I came from the Soviet Union and these kinds of debates smell like 1937, like Lysenkoism, like Soviet doctors trials, etc etc."

I reckon you're correct. Unfortunately, it seems we are again entering an age when opponents of those with views or ideas attack the actual person rather than debate the ideas themselves.

We could been forgiven for thinking that this was just a passing phase when such attacks ocured in social media, Facebook etc., but when an associate professor who holds a very prominent and responsible position in public life and who uses the pages of Scientific American to attack an eminent person who is now dead and who can no longer defend himself, then I'd say such attacks are here to stay.

Most thinking people would find such attacks abhorrent. How we change the public discourse back to a more even keel is an unanswered question.
Yes, it is. Then again you'd be shocked at how much companies pay for SAAS apps today. I like to think you use FOSS when you're small b/c you can't afford the good stuff, then you get so big you want to switch back to FOSS b/c so many companies are taking you for a ride.

I guess every "you sit in a cockpit" game works very well with HMDs ... there was an early demo of a Mechwarrior style game that worked very well (for me) in VR.

For me the problem is that the resolution was always lacking. With my glasses I have "better than 20/20"-vision (visus of 1.2-1.6, 120-160 visual acuity). I have not tried the newer HMDs, but with the older Oculus Rift and HTC Vive I could clearly see the individual pixels distracting me from the experience.
So basically what you’re saying is that you want your “smart” TV experience to be just like a desktop PC experience.

That’s fair, if that’s what you want and if that works for you.

For most users however that would make the TV impossible to use with a regular, simple remote and thus be a major downgrade in user experience.

Basically what it seems like (to me at least) is that people who buy “smart” devices don’t want them to be smart in terms of having advanced capabilities. Rather they want the devices to be smart enough to do the right things in a simplified UI, allowing the user to get the same things done, but with less effort.

Basically smart devices are smart to allow the user to be lazy, dumb or both ;)

It's honestly quite pathetic, but not at all unexpected these days. I do sometimes wish that when the negligence is so gross (sending API keys in the response of an unsecured request?) that the government would issue a fine. If you don't feel that your developers are security minded, there are many computer security professionals around the globe available to help. Maybe using some of those hundreds of millions of VC dollars for a quick audit would be the norm if there were actual penalties for this kind of reckless behavior.
James Kunstler: How bad architecture wrecked cities
I use Nextcloud to sync to my Android. On iOS it was more annoying.
Well, what I do is to jump to a page at a certain ratio between two pages. Of course the UI could allow entering that ratio instead of selecting a numbered page, but I don’t quite see the benefit in that. The internal navigation can in principle be implemented either way (cursor or offset). One requirement is for the size of the result set to be known, at least as an approximation (e.g. like Google does).
Technically this class of trades also incurs a lot more hashing (and so the expense of the hash function is important), the trade is valuable because you get to do all the work once, up front, and not spend that time on any particular password hash once you have it.

So e.g. computing a rainbow table for all possible Windows 2000 passwords (up to 14 characters but you're actually only doing 56-bit inputs) in the LANMAN scheme took ages, and produced a fairly large file, but having done so that's it, you, or anyone you give the file to, can reverse LANMAN hashes into working passwords almost instantly.

(Microsoft's LANMAN hash lacked salt, and is stupid in various other ways, MD5 would actually have been a better choice than LANMAN, because you allow arbitrary input passwords and thus good passwords are stronger instead of impossible even though MD5 is much too fast for a good password hash)
I’m guessing this is a reaction to their opinion pieces. I find their investigative reporting to be top quality.
A quick look at the wiki page for 8859-15 reveals that there are in fact 33 bytes that are invalid/out of range for that character encoding: 00-1f, and 7f-9f inclusive.
I would add that if DD comes first, the format is usually DD.MM.YYYY. Or DD/MM/YYYY, which is more common in the UK. Rarely have I seen dashes when not following the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD standard.
> If you play optimal strategy, you will win against any opponent except one that plays optimal as well

How does the example you're responding to not win 50% of the time?

Rock v Rock = Tie

Rock v Paper = Loss

Rock v Scissors = Win

The optimal game theoretic play of randomly choosing rock paper scissors is inferior play against this particular opponent. All that game theoretic perfect play gets you is the benefit of getting at least a tie. Possibly more, but not always more for non-perfect play.
I see lots of people deriding LastPass... just wondering what exactly Bitwarden or 1Password do better? I find LastPass a bit clunky at times, and once or twice a year it won't actually save a password, but seems ok in general?
I don't know, but not going back to ISO-8859-15, that's for sure.
2.5 and 5GBaseT is a great compromise, just wish UI would support it in their cheaper line of switches.
I’ve used 1Password for years, and I think the price is very reasonable.

For a program I use every day, which is well made and has pretty good UX, the price is in line with other utilities I pay for.

You are certainly correct that Trump didn't refer directly to COVID as a hoax, but only in the literal sense and especially when given the chance in the following days to clean it up. However, applying literalism to Trump's words or even divining a context is a fool's errand. He so often seemed to be talking directly to his 'fifth avenue', ride-or-die supporters, hungry to depict him as a victim of the treachery of an 'angry', 'elitist', liberal Left.

One time he failed to clean it up was the very famous time he referred to getting disinfectant into the body as a COVID remedy, although he never literally said the oft-repeated phrase 'inject bleach'. After doctors were left condemning his comments, he said that he was being sarcastic, which I think is non-sensical given the subject matter (i.e., in the middle of the a pandemic, during a press conference surrounded by doctors, POTUS wants to go spit-balling on potential remedies and get all sarcastic on... disinfectants & their applicability to this virus).

As far as presidential responsibility for COVID deaths go, I think things are a bit different now owing to personal responsibility. Since we have vaccines now, should you refuse the vaccine and then die from the virus can you really blame POTUS for your death? Biden took the unusual step of reneging on his promise against vaccine mandates to do just that later once there was a new wave of deaths in August 2021. I give him credit for casting aside the obvious political implications of reneging on a promise and that of a obviously unpopular mandate, as well. To then blame this same POTUS for more deaths seems especially unfair. Biden and his medical advisors know the truth that this virus just won't 'go away' as Trump would like to say with a flick of his wrist in its early days, and that we will have to get bare-knuckled about it or suffer more deaths from evermore mutations.
If they were opposite waves (One negative wave, one positive wave, emitted from two points opposite on the globe) then yes. But if they are both positive, they just add in place where they meet and then travel away as they did before.
