It's an interesting experience. Sometimes it's amazing. Videos usually include different angles, so you might feel like changing your body's position (though not necessary). It's very different than watching porn on a monitor -- the performers can be 'in your face' (very close) which may be unpleasant to some people. It's certainly something worth trying with at least a couple of videos (some videos are 3rd person view which is nice). Pro-tip, consider VR porn with mind-altering substances (e.g. weed, MDMA, LSD, mushrooms).
Did they have a choice? Companies like Google and Microsoft provide a package of file sync cloud service bundled with many other services, for the same or lower price. Most people/companies would find that a better deal.
Gmail [0] ignores dots in your email handle and so you could use a different pattern of dots for each website you register at and record it in a spreadsheet or something. The first and last characters cannot be dots, and I do not think you can have two or more dots in a row, but there is no limit to how many "legal" dots you can use. Not as elegant, but definitely doable.

I’m not going to breathe but thank you for the suggestion. I’ve already run 20km this morning and I’m doing fine on my own without your help.

Continuing this is not useful. I wrote a high mer level comment and gave OP a bit of the support they deserve.

Just maybe reflect on how you treat people and think about how this thread might impact people in the thick of it. Sometimes, it’s more valuable to hear “good work” than another unqualified person’s hot take bases upon their own complete strangers.
I really wish they weren't doing away with 1password classic and the native mac app. I like the fact I bought a license, that I can store the data on dropbox or icloud, and it works just fine.

Yes, this is old news and sour grapes on my part. I just don't yet feel like migrating to bitwarden.

I've been using 1password for 12 years since I saw it on a tutorial on peepcode.com. I actually taught my mother how to use it, she's been using it for 9 years, and last weekend she was upgrading all her passwords to use 2fa with the QR code capturing facility.

We had to go find the 1password classic browser extension (something stopped working, needed to reinstall it) and that took a bit of doing. 1password is not making it easy to find anymore, and when she contacted customer support (before talking to me), their response was to upgrade to a paid account and store your passwords on a server.

Ugh.

Honestly, now that they've raised this much cash, would it really be that big of an inconvenience or lift for them to give mac users a native app instead of the electron one and keep allowing legacy users like me to use 1password with our existing licenses and dropbox?

I think they'd be able to hire some additional developers and product/project people to make it happen. Not continuing to work on the classic project just feels like a kick in the shins.

Now, I'm building out my kubernetes cluster at home, and bitwarden is something I'm going to experiment with as a backup, but 1password 7 works fine and I just don't want to migrate to a paid account.

C'mon 1password, make your legacy customers happy!
Oh I misunderstood that.
That's been my anecdotal experience as well.

I really love an alternative that does these:

1. native app (no bullshit JS based) for speed
2. the same keybindings CMD+\ or Option+CMD+\ to fill in or pop up the menu
3. sync with icloud
4. not look like total shit (ie. lastpass)

Do these basic things and I think you can easily steal 1pass users.
There's two sides of this coin. On one hand, consumers have gotten a horrendous deal in the past with cable. Expensive price, plus tons of commercials; they literally don't even broadcast a good portion of the day. Even current Netflix, with their shitty lineup, beats the deal I was getting on cable.

On the other had, consumers have now grown accustomed to really favorable deals on content. All media must be free. Everything must be rolled into one low, low price. We used to happily buy 1-4 CD(s) a week. I'm pretty sure I've spent more on CD(s) in a single transaction than on an entire year of spotify... and that was as a kid with no money.

We used to buy DVD(s) all the time. You'd spend $200-500 a year on several streaming services. I feel like I spent that just on DVD(s) as gifts for christmas every year. People don't want to pay a cent for news or subscription media. This used to be a major expenditure.

It used to be that a good chunk of your money was spent on media. You have to have entertainment to make your life better, so you pay whatever you have to. In the past there was far less competition, and consumers were getting some really bad deals. Now I think consumers are often out of wack with their expectations.

Why on earth should the government implement price fixing to limit what people make on intellectual property? Why do you think $10-20/mo is the fair price for ALL THE CONTENT IN THE WORLD, vs. the $50-100 you'd have to pay (and a cable package would be like $100-300)... In the 90s we'd pay over $100/mo for like 5 CD(s), and cable prices were insane.

This stuff isn't cheap, easy, or risk free to produce either. I've been as critical of producers as anyone, but people often lose sight of this.
>I honestly think it's in part because promotions are less racially biased than they seem to be in the civilian world.

But the top brass is definitely not racial diverse. So its actually the other way around. More people of color serve because poorer people are more likely to serve, but even when people of color are over represented in the military they are still underrepresented in the leadership. Making the military even more biased than rest of society.

A drill sergeant yelling equally at everyone does not mean that the system is equal.

> Splitting the email and password form across two screens.

Just wanted to note that Google handles this right, which I've always appreciated.

They have two-screen login, and if you use a password manager, the password is prefilled when the second screen loads.

I assume the two-screen login is to ensure the name is valid before asking for a password. Without the clunkiness of doing it "onBlur".
An interesting quirk of the EU is that anything done requires consensus of 27 countries. So you end up with either systems where everyone gets free reign to demand what they want, or some that implement commonly agreed standards. In this case unlikely this they'd let Poland or Hungary decide on their own what is accessible for all, so you'd very likely end up with a list of standards that is transparent and actually presents a check on national censorship powers.
IME/IMO, one of the big piles of crap in Git’s porcelain is that gitrevisions(7) is absolutely terrible (and, of course that git diff then proceeds to do something which looks the same but behaves completely differently).

Does pijul have something better for navigating and working with sets of changes? For reference, though I didn’t get to use them that much mercurial’s revsets were a pleasure, mixing readability, expressivity, and flexibility (modularity).
I don't see any. 1Password saves me time, has no issues (for me), and any migration process is just a time-sink.

Depends. It all comes down to the ratio between switching benefit and switching cost, with the added requirement that Pijul must fix a significant pain point people have with git that is visible to decision makers.

Possible pain point candidates: Monorepo speed, submodules, large files. Don't know if Pijul solves any of that.
Two items from the author of the book itself that delve deeper into the geopolitical background of this historic period:

"Roman historians claim that the Sasanians were aiming to recreate the first Persian empire
of Cyrus the Great. This meant pushing the Iranian border with Rome further and further
west. Unsurprisingly, Rome and Iran were nearly constantly at war. The two powers
competed for even the smallest advantage along an ill-defined and porous frontier running
south from the Caucasus into Arabia. Each war was worse than the last, and conflict spread
southward as far as Ethiopia, with Iran and Rome eventually contesting control of the India
trade through the Red Sea. The 6th-century Roman emperor Justinian could not break the
Persian monopoly there, so he and his successors tried to dominate the overland silk trade
from China.

This evolved into a world war when the Turks got involved. In the 6th century the Turkish
nomads of Inner Asia were the foremost military power of the age. They had overthrown the
Huns who menaced Iran from the east, and had built an empire stretching from the borders
of China to the Caspian Sea. With Roman backing, the Turks aimed to disrupt the Persian
monopoly on the India trade by flooding Iranian markets with cheap Chinese silk which they
had received as tribute from rival Chinese dynasties. Iran retaliated, and the armies of the
Persian king Hormizd IV fought Roman and Turkish troops on multiple fronts and emerged
victorious – further proof that the Iranian war machine was more than match for its rivals."

Lessons from the Last Empire of Iran goes a bit deeper and concludes:

I wrote The Last Empire of Iran to tell the story of the Sasanian dynasty from beginning to end. It is a narrative that covers some of the most important events of human history. And over the past 1,400 years, the story has lost none of its power.

> should I provide documentation in the form of a man page?

Yes, and this may be a much smaller effort than you suspect. Only by writing the output of --help in a certain order, you can use the "help2man" tool to generate a beautiful manpage automatically. Notice that your users do not need to have help2man installed, you run it yourself as part of your build process, to create the manpage from the latest source code.

It is very likely that if your tool already has a --help option, you don't really need to do anything to have a manpage. Just call help2man from your makefile.
To be fair, those are just little brads that just hold the backing on, which is a step above cardboard. I think it wouldn't be too hard to remove them with a nail puller while keeping the front unblemished.

I'm actually surprised by all the reactionary comments here with almost no research. 1Password already has integrations with Fastmail and Privacy and have launched a Secrets Automation[0] offering. I'm assuming this money does go partially into the password manager (which they say has always been profitable) but I think the money would actually go into ancillary services for competitors to Vault or Okta for authentication and secrets. Of course, it's not unfounded that as consumers we'd be concerned about the affect this might have on the base product but they've been pretty open about their ambitions since the first funding round a couple of years ago

You're wrong about the EU, the setup you're talking about is long gone - since the Treaty of Lisbon to be specific, ratified over 10 years ago.

EU regulations are effective even without any mention in the local law. EU directives must be implemented within the time limit or the state will be sued at the EU court (not local court!) and made to pay fines until it's implemented. Thus, the EU quacks just like a government.

> and, again much like browser vendors, they won't be doing it in a well-coordinated fashion. It will be rife with <blink>s

Hopefully, but most definitely not simply because "the EU is not a government". It is enough of a government to avert this issue - e.g. see vaccination passports.

> (Also, just for future reference, it's _the_ EU. Americans have a habit of doing this, also with the UK, and I don't understand it at all because your country is _the_ US.)

Is there a good/extensive take on the mainstream geological and anthropological knowledge of what was going on around that period of time?
Think about it as if you are standing somewhere in relation to the monuments and are trying to figure out where you are on the map. You don't have precise measurements of distances or angles, you only have the estimated distance / angle you are from each of them that you get by looking at them. And without precise measurements there is uncertainty in where you are located.

You probably know exactly where you are on the map if you are within a meter of a monument. As you move farther away from the monuments your estimation of the distance from each one becomes less precise. At least when I am estimating a distance things end up rough really quickly. At 10m I might be off by 1m. By 50m I am off by 10m, and so on. Now translate that into an exact position on the map. It not possible, there is always some level of uncertainty.

I didn't realize it at first, but all of the examples are interactive. You can move the figure around, I found that pretty helpful and fun as well. In the very first example: place the figure somewhere, and then try and point to where it is on the map. I found myself circling areas naturally, even though the scale is relatively small. Especially when viewing it from an angle. The second example is quite exaggerated as far as the circles go but it is representative of the idea.

Also, you must be commenting in response to my deleted sentence: 'downvotes are signals of quality?' Is that not not correct?

I get how that seemed condescending because it could come across as arrogant: as in, "I do not need to care what these downvotes mean."

Before you replied, I thought about that sentence some more and I thought, 'Actually, it is not so optimal to leave it there.' Then I deleted it. Methinks you must have replied just after that...

Even thus so, your comment was unwarrantedly and very rude, do you not think? Perchance you know not of the difficulty nor courage it took to post all these things publicly...

But underneath that for you... I detect you are trying to help me, although if you will permit me to offer my feedback and to hear it, I do possibly think your delivery could be better.

One reason I think you are trying to help me is because you are essentially saying, "Well, what do you expect, if you say it like that here?" So, I appreciate that empathy which prompted you to care enough to reply but, I just wonder, what more is going on for you than the disbelief? Why even try to be helpful and if you are going to be helpful, why deliver it in that way?

It is kind of weird, do you not think? Perchance you do not expect anyone will appreciate your assistance so you prefer to fall from the first floor than from the penthouse and aim low with a sort-of rude response, rather than something genuinely or generously helpful. I do not know. Am curious. Please tell me more about any of this if you want, thank you.

A reason I am generous here is because I can tell there is more going on for you than just disbelief and rudeness.

But is not the real condescending comment the one that is so unwarrantedly critical of mine, pays it no merit, and misrepresents it to pretend it is less than it is? It does seem grossly condescending and arrogant.

How much is a "massive amount"? Lots of people at Burning Man would have flown in; a 4000 mile flight burns 50 gallons of fuel (around 340lb) per passenger which I imagine is considerably more than whatever you saw got burned.

Hello, I am currently hiring for 2 junior positions. There are a few different things I look for in juniors.
First is smart and gets things done, any history you can show of building your own projects, from what the motivation was, how you established a goal of "finished" and how you got it there. Also what as the person shown a lot of interest in, and where does it look like their career is going. If you have been doing a lot of graphic programming or building software interfaces for hardware then why are you applying to my web dev position? Do I think the few years of training you will get me more years for productivity, so try to look for roles that align with your interests.
Second technical skills stuff. Do you know how to use any IDE, bonus points if you are familiar with the one that is commonly used in our group. We make heavy use of GitHub so you would get bonus points if you are familiar with it but won't get penalized if you aren't, I assume that hiring a junior is hiring somebody that needs to be taught everything, and anything that you are already familiar with will be great.
Third soft skills, especially for junior positions, I am way more interested in somebody that is bright, easy to work with, and will fit into the team well than I am looking for a diamond in the rough that will turn into a 10x engineer but is also a giant pain to work with. After 2 years of working together if I need get a ping that is you asking for help am I going to feel excited for the chance to teach and work together or am I going to clench my teeth and try to punt it until later.
As for getting through the HR/recruiter screening each manager should have a sense of what their tolerance for teaching is. You should apply to any job that seems interesting to you, and let them tell you no. Very rarely are position metrics hard requirements 1-2 years could also accept candidates fresh out of school or boot camp.

Is there a database of subtitles besides Opensubtitles that we can use as a fallback? It would be great if there was a Github repo with a updated lists of .SRT files we can download at our leisure.

Only caveats:

- Github wouldn't like millions flocking to a repo to grab files.

- I'm not sure sharing of subtitles fall under 'copyright violations'. It's a bit of a grey area. (it's just text right?!)
(Ricardo Montalban opens cigar box.) "Cuban?"
>But its a solvable problem

I would push back a little bit that this is the sole reason (and thus not quite as solvable a problem as one might think). A couple other reasons that help explain why a lot of software sucks:

1) Unlike other engineering disciplines, there is not strict adherence to codified standards. It's easy for me to argue that my solution is adequate, even when if yours may be objectively better. An electrician or civil engineer has much less leeway for creativity because they are constrained by codes, standards, and industry-accepted best practices where adherence/compliance is culturally ingrained. Software, by comparison, is very much the Wild West.

2) It's very easy to change. Because software is relatively easy to change, it means configurations are often less stable. Especially at scale (and combined with the lack of standards), this can cause problems.

3) It's relatively cheap to implement (superficially at least) and there's a low barrier for entry (superficially at least). Software doesn't have the culture of other engineering disciplines regarding accreditation. I'm not a huge fan of credentialism personally, but it can provide a stop-gap in terms of skills, especially when those doing the hiring don't know how to properly assess those skills.
