>To me, KeePass is wonderfully boring and usable, much like spreadsheet software (e.g. LibreOffice Calc), it doesn't waste space and does everything i need it to.

agreed. keepassxc has much more padding/whitespace than keepass.

>Furthermore, browser integration actually wouldn't be something i want - i'd prefer to keep those pieces of software as far from one another as possible.

I'm mixed on browser integration. On one hand it's more convenient and can potentially be more secure (can protect against phishing attacks because it can check the url for you). On the other hand, having a direct link to your entire password vault is a massive attack surface. The ideal implementation for me would be an addon that can auto-fill credentials, but require explicit approval from the app to fill anything. To my knowledge no such implementation exists.

>Though using the OS clipboard could also be problematic, of course, which is my current approach when i want to log into a site.

Keepass has auto-type, which works around this.
You are quoting the non-normative informative part. If _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO is not defined, your fsync can literally be this and still be compliant:

int fsync(int) {}

Quick Google search (maybe someone with a MBP can confirm) says that macOS doesn't purport to implement SIO.
Do I understand correctly that you just gave the iOS app out of your hands, for Nabu Casa to maintain? Or is it solely a legal structure?

I find it interesting if it were the former, I personally would have considered monetizing it myself, but then again, it’s probably not a coincidence I haven’t founded any opensource projects as impactful as Home Assistant. :)
So for stuff that's not trivial to remove just set up new accounts i.e. 123ExampleRd@gmail.com, tie everything to that e-mail and then just hand over the passwords when you move. Preferably do this when you move in, It also solves the issue of providers with no means to share accounts or devices that tie to google/other auth, this way you share the password with everyone who lives with you without giving out any personal credentials.

Not to mention the convenience of having the ability to have e-mails sent to whoever happens to be resident at that property and keep a history that can be transferred. I.e. maintenance invoices, remodel invoices, appliance receipts. Then when you sell the house the new owner will get all that info.
Wait- since when did we need a plug-in/extension to add a default search engine? Did I miss something or is this a new "feature"?
Why are people talking like the choice is between cloud password managers (potentially insecure) and no password manager (impractical unless you reuse passwords)? There's a third option - a local password manager like the one built into your browser. Its one disadvantage versus the cloud is that you have to reenter your password on each of your devices. For normal people who have maybe 2 or 3 devices and don't change their passwords very often, this is a trivial obstacle.
You need a unique, strong password for every service. Humans are bad at creating unique passwords and bad at memorizing hundreds of unique passwords. Machines are good at both of these. So why would you trust your methods?
I believe there are laws (the legal term being "fixture," for things permanently attached to a home) about what can be taken unless it's explicitly included in a contract. The sale contract will probably say that fixtures are included, and if you are not selling certain things, those will need to be specified. And from some brief reading, you may need to be careful earlier in the process as well to avoid false advertisement in the listings.
Internal Combustion Cars: To Buy, or Not to Buy
> That is true regardless of where interest rates are, or whether inflation is happening

If there was no inflation, there would be no inherent profit from taking out a large loan.

From my comment above the math is 7% inflation minus 3% interest rate equals 4% profit just from taking the loan.

That's the problem.

It's not just that the poor can't start a business or buy an asset, it's that debt itself is incentivized, and those that are wealthy get the best access to that debt.

Our current monetary system then exacerbates that as the lower the interest rate, the higher the inflation.

Thus the looser the monetary policy, the greater the incentive to take out debt, the less the poor and middle class have access to debt.

Further, this all compounds into inflated asset prices for basic needs like housing.
> making all power switches controllable from a central private endpoint would be nice

This is what Zigbee and Z-Wave are for, and I would say one one of the main points of using home assistant: to keep it all local. The Nabu Casa stuff just allows you to access your required local home assistant setup (RPi, VM, whatever) without having to mess with DMZ to allow direct connections. Self hosted in the whole point of it all.

If you buy smart devices that require cloud connections, then home assistant can also work with many of those, but it ends up being a much worse experience when turning your lightbulb on requires sending an http request halfway around the world and back.
I've been using uBlacklist which adds a little block this site button to the google search results. Handy.

It is a browser extension and I haven't looked too deeply into it so if that's important to you perhaps have a browse over their repo etc before installing.

I liked the part where you made up the numbers you could've looked up. Average loan for CIA is 7k/yr = 28k per 4 years.

Yes, you can absolutely pick numbers that are unrepresentative to make a point. But as long as you're arguing in the real world, it would be cool if your argument was based in the real world.
Kinda related but I've always imagined selling a house and leaving behind a "readme" with the latest state of things. I know inspections cover many things, but it'd be nice to have something from the previous owner talking about how specific things work.
I mean, yeah... think about all the data websites go to remarkable lengths to capture about you already, now imagine if they could capture _everything_ your computer does. Do you think they wouldn't? That's the part that really pisses me off, I bought a Windows Pro license to specifically avoid requirements like this, and now I can't anymore.
I find TDD is great when you have an interface to some code defined and are changing the behaviour of what happens when interacting with that interface. You can then add some tests to the existing test suite for the interface, watch them fail, then get to work implementing and be content that you’re done when all the tests are passing.

However, if you’re still developing the interface definition itself, TDD just wastes time when it transpires the interface you envisaged and wrote tests for doesn’t quite match up with the implementation as you write it.
Won't make a dent in the prices, but you could certainly spend political capital passing legislation like that.
Mozilla was unable to secure my formal permission to remove any part of my configuration at first (during an update).

Edit: And it's the browser that you have not to update if you want to keep things working as they used to.
I guess it didn't work for them so they just abandoned it.
The fed is in an impossible situation. Raise rates to fight inflation and the stock market tanks and we enter into a recession, unemployment. Or ignore inflation and the middle class is slowly boiled in raising gasoline, housing, and other prices.

Either way the middle class and poor get screwed but the wealthy who took out ultra low interest fixed rate loans to buy up assets all over the country are going to do fine.
Indeed. For today’s, it was useful to know that for critters usually don’t dump Wis in the same way as other mental stats, because it represents environmental awareness. You recognize the build type (e.g. animal, caster, monstrous race) and try to fill in from there.
Agreed. In fact, I'd like to see HN go even further and close discussions after some limit has been reached, whether it's time- or attention-based.
That's an interesting idea! It could be cool to have a share link that could rebuild the emoji grid.
USB Flash Drive Restores Ride Off into the Sunset
They don't care. It literally just halts installation and says "An internet connection is required to proceed". They may end up with a way to let enterprise users do this, but I doubt we'll ever see consumer windows without the requirement again.
rarely turn out to be true, ahem
I feel like the logic of this solution doesn't exactly lead to a rosy conclusion.
If everyone is sorted into a narrow range of Professional and STEM degrees, wouldn't this just lead to lowering of wages for degree holders in those fields to something marginally above unskilled labor, while giving the business class that have taken ahold of most institutions a greater excuse to keep more of the profit for themselves?
A keyboard designed for vi lovers
Nabu Casa doesn't maintain it, the community does. I personally haven't worked on it in a while now because I've been consumed with my new company but it is still being very actively developed. I still have full access to the source code and developer account and such and am a resource to whoever needs my input as time permits.
Nearly three-quarters of Americans have some Covid immunity, experts say
Heh, our kids have an Alexa and a couple smart plugs for lamps in their rooms.

They set their own bed/wake routines which was really great because we kinda got the buy in from them on how they want to do it and it's the same every time. They like to come by ever now and then and update the routine, add a step or piece of information. It's fun to do with them and it's nice to have them do their own thing but also not need an adult for everything thing.
Is this related to the Linux Mint partnership?

I'm specifically wondering if the impacted users are Mint users who had DDG has their default search engine.
This question is incomplete without expanding on your "methods for safe handling of passwords on the web." Tell us what those methods are, and you'll get some thoughts on whether you should or shouldn't trust them.

Password manager anxiety is a thing. Maybe you're worried that you'll lose the vault, or that it will be hacked. I didn't like the idea that I couldn't log into something without it. The problem is, without a password manager, my passwords sucked. I had a core secret that I sort of salted for each site.

So my reason for using a password manager (KeePassXC with SyncThing, if you're interested) is that it's better than the alternative.
Uber was famously caught trying to circumvent reviewers to hide their device fingerprinting and the result was a phone call from Tim Cook threatening them, but not outright removal. At the time I'm not sure if any profit from Uber actually flowed to Apple either.

https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/23/15399438/apple-uber-app-s...
Something I've not seen come up yet: a password manager that's integrated with your browser is a good defence against phishing.

Because it'll only offer passwords for sites that match the entry, defaulting (most often) to being the same domain, if you come across a phish then it won't offer the site at all. This is fairly similar to the "trust on first use" that SSH gives you, which some folk were wishing might have existed for SSL certificates the other day.

Unfortunately some sites require you to "log in with your ... credentials" rather than doing SSO. But you TOFU those, too, once you've verified they're legit.

Happy Bitwarden user here: the software is all Free, but I trust the company to run their servers securely more than I trust myself to, so I pay them to do so. Extra benefit: if I lose all my infrastructure, I haven't lost my passwords.

If you think big international exchanges aren’t going to care about Canadian sanctions you’re very confused.

Or banks just about anywhere. What are you gonna tell the risk management people? “Oh yeah. We’ve been sanctioned, but it’s just Canada so NABD”

I just can’t even begin to imagine the train of thought here.
> But of course maybe the US decides homes are investments

They have. By not deciding, they have decided. It would be incredibly harmful to reverse course now. Typical US policy is to get backed into a corner until doing the right & obvious thing is incredibly difficult and practically impossible.
The people electing the officials that make these policies are the ones that want to keep low-density housing. It's suicide for a politician to sponsor rezoing legislation.
Because then you break the rule of 'everyone must be excellent'. In a room full of geniuses, do many people choose to mop the floor?
I agree for the general population. But shouldn't a job paying 6 figures have decent insurance? I have two dependents with major health issues, hitting out of pocket max every year. Still I am able to save for retirement and not live paycheck to paycheck. I do not earn 6 figures.
Yeah I sometimes have the same, but it comes and goes. It's very weird. I have it with the internal trackpad

Weirdly, I've been getting a laggy/choppy cursor since upgrading from Catalina to Monterey--but not on my M1 Mac mini, on my Intel MBP.

I think this is part of what makes things like this hard: most people might be misdiagnosing what they're seeing.
Disclaimer: I’m the Founder/CEO of Sprig (sprig.com) - the industry leader for in-the-moment research.

Congrats on the launch! It’s great to see other companies emerge in this space. Product managers, designers, researchers too often rely on panels with people placed in hypothetical situations. Research is most valuable when conducted with actual customers as they are experiencing your product.

We haven’t seen the problem as you’re describing for smaller startups. It’s actually better to speak with customers directly 1:1 until your product starts to achieve scale.

One suggestion for you is to add video questions. This is a great way for early-stage startups to see and hear from users directly. It’s been so well received by startup founders that video questions are included in Sprig’s Free plan.

Also, the 50-70% response rate is suspect. Sprig has surpassed 2 Billion unique users tracked and millions of survey responses for customers including Dropbox, Loom, and Square. We’ve seen response rates as high as 90%, but on average are seeing a 30% response rate. 1Flow’s survey design is an exact clone of Sprig (see comparison: https://www.loom.com/i/356c650a70b94fffa9a85da83b546595) so differences in design won’t be a factor. Even a 30% response rate is significantly higher than an email survey though which is actually around 2-5%.
Columbo also was unlike many other crime shows of the time in that it showed the viewer the crime in opening minutes. Through the show, you knew who the murderer was, even if you didn't know all the whys or twists. Watching with that knowledge changes the story, as you see how the detective weaves together threads to get to where you know he needs to be by the end of the (somewhat overly drawn out) episodes.
> The US needs to make a policy decision: are houses investments or a way to nurture and grow the lower and middle class?

They already have. home buyer loans are backed by the government. You can write off loan interest. Investors pay taxes on income from the investment (net rent and capital gains) ...

Also just like in education space the more the government subsidizes the pricing, the more it gets inflated. So more incentives will just lead to more demand and higher prices.

What we really need is more supply and elasticity. More houses, and more people willing to say "F--- this I'm moving to CheapTown"
We have run out of freely allocatable IPv4 and equipment isn't catching up to IPv6 - it's very relevant here.

Neither Apple, not IBM, actually need that many publicly useful set of IPs. IBM would be smart to sell them off. Apple is probably going to sit on them. (I used to work at IBM and that 9 block was very confusing to me, considering that IBM isn't even that big of a DC operator these days)
Happy Twosday Why numbers like 2/22/22 have been fascinating for over 2K years
That's not my point, I think either I didn't explain myself properly or people are missing it. What I want to say is that currently we have very limited resources(on the planetary scale) - no we don't have to wait for post scarcity to try, but I just don't understand why we're trying for Mars first instead of the moon, which is simply more achievable, cheaper, and fulfils all the goals of getting kids and adults excited about science again.
This might have been the case during the 2007 bubble but today this isn't really the case anymore. Even podunk midwestern places far from major midwestern cities are seeing huge surges in housing prices. This is a generational problem: millenials are attempting to buy homes but over the past twenty years, literally across the board everywhere in this country, we have failed to build housing for this coming generation. The last time we had a crises to this scale was after WWII, when returning veterans found no housing stock for them, and had to literally wait in quonset huts with their approved GI bill mortgage while the first suburbs were developed at a rate at which we cannot seem to build at again today. Now there are more millenials than those in the greatest generation, and the lack of building supply has been going on for even longer than what we saw after WWII.

Prices everywhere are relatively high, relative is important. You might have your remote gig, enjoy it. You are of the few. Most people are finding their remote gigs are turning into hybrid gigs; the old guard doesn't care you are efficient at home. So now you are beholden to local jobs anyhow even if 50% of it takes place on zoom and 100% could easily be done as well. If you want to take advantage of midwestern home prices, now you are being paid at midwestern salaries and competing with midwestern doctors and lawyers and business executives like you did in the bay area. The octave has shifted by an order of magnitude, but its the same song you are playing. The same lack of supply. You might even net out worse considering the tax structure especially on property in different places means your costs might go up as real estate continues to go up, and your salary generally does not tumble up 10-20% per year to help you afford those reassessments, and there are few places you can laterally jump ship to and find higher pay in the much smaller midwest (which is why educated midwesterners flee to places like the coasts for their jobs anyway; its cheaper on paper but its often not in practice).
I could see something like this beating out the original. Wordle has to be 1x/day because there are only a couple thousand common 5-letter words (around 2300, if I recall correctly). It would turn repetitive. This game has O(N^4) combinations, so it can be played over and over.
If you're genuinely asking why you shouldn't publicly incriminate yourself on the internet that might explain why you have interacted with so many subpar lawyers.
It was his code the created the null reference. He converted a null pointer into a reference. But doesn't matter: when presented with the evidence of a null reference, it would have been straightforward to diagnose the problem. And after repeated blustering and denials from him, that's what I had to do to get the bug fixed. We do a disservice if we tell people that references (in either language) cannot be null. They can be null, and that would be a bug in some other code - so follow the trail to find where.
Not really. Offer me a way to pay for 1p 8.0 and keep local storage.

This is a great point, but has anyone looked at the spreadsheet yet to see for themselves? I think we're proving him right so far, haha.
As long as it can avoid being acquired by Cloudflare...
I just checked my Keepass database and it has 192 entries. 192 unique, actually secure passwords. Without a password manager it would be a necessity to reuse passwords or have otherwise insecure passwords in some form.

That's why I use a password manager. The small annoyance it is to keep the db file synced is well worth it.
I can also tell you in a 'gamer'-adjacent field a very large proportion of users have a very loose definition of stability when overclocking. It survived a single short run of a single use case that only runs one load pattern? Must be perfectly stable. Anything else crashes? It must be the shitty game or gpu driver!

I hope that ecc will give more warning that you're close to the edge (e.g. any ecc correction means it's unstable and you should back off), but fear people will just keep pushing until the ecc can no longer even correct the errors.

Professionally I work on gpu drivers for systems that do not allow overclocking, so shouldn't affect our stats, but it certainly is a mess for other teams. I've noticed that it's even become a common suggestion on fan forums for gpu manufacturers to disable any overclock and revalidate when changing vendors or even updating drivers, presumably as they're so close to the edge small changes in the access patterns will then cause it to explode.
Good point! Initially this is our way of getting in front of users more to get quality answers but I think your point is solid. We're working on a consent feature which will allow users who don't want to be bothered to opt out from the very beginning - this also helps with data quality! Anecdotally from today's launch I'm already getting some good, thoughtful responses from the pop-up widget on our website, and I think the data shows the general distribution but with maybe some noise from users who just clicked around. We could improve this to be close to 0% noise when we implement user consent window. Just getting started!
There’s a difference between “unable” and “not doing”.

I’ve been in this position from time to time, and it always came down to making expensive choices or recovering from an unexpected necessary large expense.

I might have a few financial regrets but when it comes down to it, spending as much as I made was always just a choice I could have changed at any time.
