For something that just needs to store passwords, I don't see why there needs to be monthly updates or anything like that.
Well it's not Amazon. I genuinely feel that we've got a great doc writing culture.

We obviously write a ton of docs but only when we need to. Personally I code 60% of the time as an IC L5 (software engineer)
Now is the time for a Linux distro that uses NTFS and installs over the top of Windows, leaves all your files where they are, and hooks up WINE to run all your apps.
Is there any pipewire-audioflinger compat layer?
Any transaction that is taxed is disincentivized.

By disincentivizing consumption as compared to saving, you would reduce spending and therefore the velocity of money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money

By reducing the velocity of money, you would trash the economy.

TLDR: Money would sit in banks. Anyone doing anything for work that wasn't an absolute necessity (i.e., things with inelastic demand) would take a huge hit. Everyone would be worse off.
I disagree, you can get a pretty good understanding of the subject, there are many resources linked there you are focusing on a few perceivably weak ones, your link is not an exhaustive answer. e.g i prefer learning from actual code examples and videos.
Hi. I'm the designer of this feature. The reason for this is so that we can potentially have fenced string blocks in the future. for example:

```c#
var s = """xml
<Book><title/></Book>
""";
```

and the like. Thanks!
Assume positive intent -> Anti-value: Forgoing the ability of accurately assessing the other party's intent.

Even the original value itself was problematic since rarely was the intent positive and assuming it was based your actions on a wrong assumption. Depends on the people you work with naturally, but in this particular organisation there was an abundance of people looking out for themselves mainly; e.g. avoiding work, shedding responsibilities, lying, twisting facts, etc, and especially so in management.
On the other hand, it is difficult to learn anything if you are unwilling to make mistakes, that is, to be thought a fool sometimes. And on the gripping hand, I find that intentionally asserting something you think might be wrong in an effort to provoke someone into correcting you is often much more effective than asking a question.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. It’s a Ruby app. It’s a Hash object where one of the keys might contain nil but more methods are called on it.
Now that's real courage. Sincere salute to owning your shit!
That is true regardless of where interest rates are, or whether inflation is happening, and thus, irrelevant to the initial nonsense claim of 'the poor and middle class are hurt by inflation because they mostly hold cash (never mind their debts...)'.

I mean, I'm willing to entertain the possibility that they are, but despite that claim's popularity in these threads, that claim can't be the reason for it.

This is another enthusiastic thumbs up for KeepassXC.

I use it everywhere I have to but on Android where I use KeepassDX.
Keeweb.info is also a good alternative OSS client with a web front-end, good as a last resort even on mobile browsers

uBlock Origin filters are good for this. I also hide scores on Reddit and likes on Twitter in an attempt to not be influenced by what the mob thinks of comment X as well as the reason you mentioned. Unfortunately, it is one click away to un-hide so that second intent is mostly a failure, I end up checking anyway.
It shouldn't be illegal to peacefully protest.

> [Honesty] and toxicity are orthogonal

Q: What's our working definition for "toxicity", specifically in the workplace?

I'm not sure they're nearly as orthogonal as one might think. My experiences of toxic workplaces involved a great deal of dishonest behaviour and I'm struggling to recall much if any honesty.
I would say no. I've never found much of a notable difference between the two clients.

I personally prefer the original client for it's UI and only use XC for Mac because it doesn't need XQuartz
Lots of interesting words in your comment. Can you elaborate on what the first sentence means?
It had an update this month. It's solid IMO. Gives me IrfanView vibes for some reason.
Might even be a nanosecond faster if they could drop the request to ?_data=routes%2F__main that fires off on every click and returns {}.
When this technique is performing at its best, I would expect so. The old story of the evolved FPGA comes to mind: https://www.damninteresting.com/on-the-origin-of-circuits/

You're intentionally depending on the "personality" of each gas sensor to get data measuring unknown features, so you can't expect consistency from sample to sample. Anything that was completely portable between different sensors would inherently be less powerful.

I see you played the same meta-game that I did. It took me a few tries, but I ended up with: WHISK, FRONT, GLADE, BUMPY.

Probably not in the spirit of the game, but once you have 20 distinct letters, it is normally quite easy to find the solution.
I totally agree, they save both themselves and me the trouble of finding out if I have anything to contribute with at their place.

What if we had a different metric for reward other than money? Should we create/invent one? Because this money horse has been flogged to death and it’s time for change.
At least in Canada, it is a haven to park elicit money once you bought your residence here
> Does it matter? Watching everything through the myopic lens of "privilege" is wrong.

May I ask why?

You see it all the time, unironically: "How a 23 year old couple bought their dream home!" and it ends up in the article their parents literally paid for it.

Or Bill Gates. There is the classic: "How to become as rich as Bill Gates: Choose your grandparents carefully."

I see it elsewhere in this thread: "Ugh. And MY 13 year old just wants to play video games!" And that is unfair to themselves, and unfair to their kids.

You see it everywhere. So many musicians, artists, writers, PEOPLE succeed in part because they just don't need to make money. Because they already have it.

And then they act like it was all done themselves and while they are not bad people for having money, and they are sincerely talented, that isn't the whole story. The whole story is that they didn't ever really even need to succeed to live a comfortable life, and that is a HUGE advantage over other people.

---------

Allow me to tie this to my own experience:

First, I want to acknowledge that I am extremely privileged in my own ways. I grew up in a wonderful home with a great family. We were educated, and kind, and loved reading and were encouraging. The rural place I grew up in wasn't a fancy high-tech metropolis, but I did not experience any violence in my community which counts for a lot.

I went to a private university on a big scholarship. It was cheaper than any state school I could have gone to. My first two years where I was in the dorms and was paying with student loans, I was very active in the student volunteer community, and the computer science club.

But once I left the dorms, that was IT. I needed to 100% support myself, rent/food/etc. I spent my days working manual QA for a software company, 40/hr week, while attending school at night.

And my life changed. I didn't make any new friends and lost the ones I had. I was never around for the "college stuff." Every waking moment became toil, either through work or through school.

While my peers were doing research studies for natural language processing, or participating in CS contests, or building relationships, or falling in love, or actually doing well on homework and tests, or any number of productive things, I was plugging 3g WIFI dongles into and out of laptops for $15/hr. I was running test cases for 8 hours a day, then going to class from 6-9, then doing homework until I went to sleep, then getting up in the morning and doing it again.

And the deficit I had in my education followed me for a LONG time. Still follows me today.

So yes, I do think we should interrogate situation people were in when they achieved something. Because sometimes people don't really achieve anything other than spending their parent's money.

And there are circumstances where something that seems like a big achievement was really just an inevitability.
I wonder if is Google the defacto search engine because they actually cannot be beaten or is it because it's virtually impossible for a new player to "scrape" the internet as easy as Google does.

Websites, including Reddit, are happy to give all their data to Google bots, but if anyone else tries to crawl them they will get black-listed very fast even if they follow the robots.txt rules.
Well they have a free version and paid subscription with extra benefits.

I can't remember exactly why because this was years ago, but I just didn't find it useful beyond a simple bookmarking system. Not worth the annual/monthly fee. It's also just bloat in the browser and given how resource hungry FF is nowadays I just don't want unnecessary shit in my browser.

I was actively looking for ways to fund Mozilla via purchasing their products. I WISH they could survive without Googles boot on their neck. I can just see the writing on the wall the org is dying and it seems that management is to blame.

I will continue to use FF on Linux, but on my Mac devices safari/orion are just so much more performant. I really noticed when I started watching memory consumption. FF is bloated and huge. I wonder if they should go all in on desktop linux and heavily optimize performance on linux systems. That way they can retain their niche of power users and also help advance FOSS consumer-facing software.
This does prevent doing some cool stuff, but I have a rule that everything still has to work without HA. Obviously automation won't, but at the end of the day, the light switches are still light switches. The sensors will simply just not send their stuff anywhere.
If you sometimes fail, I feel the balance (for you) is right =)
I'd suggest the best example of anti-values is in the Agile Manifesto.

They state that they value (as an example) individuals and interactions over processes and tools. But they make it clear that while there's value in the things on the right, they value the things on the left more.

In the way the author describes, I always found this framing to be super helpful for decision-making.

It's also something that frustrated me about the (otherwise fantastic) Amazon Leadership Principles. When should I dive deep and when should I have bias for action? I realise now that I should have bias for action when it's a reversible decision and dive deep when it's a one way door. But it's not clear from the principles themselves in the way it's clear in the Agile Manifesto.
Knowing this is one of the worst T2 attacks after several years makes me feel slightly more secure.

Bullet points have their place, and I certainly use plenty of them myself, but I'm not sure it's the first piece of advice I'd give. I think my #1 point would be that good technical "writing" is not just writing. The best technical docs I can think of also included good diagrams and tables (not meme pictures), visually distinct example code or commands, footnotes and sidebars to keep the main text uncluttered, etc. You don't have to be a full-out graphical designer, but a little work on making something besides an impenetrable wall of text can go a long way toward making a document more readable.
It is written in C++ and doesn't depend on .NET.
Thanks for your encouraging words. "The key to scaling is finding bottlenecks before your users do" - I really resonate with this (I saw your talk in 2019) and we're helping companies solve the bottleneck with scaling user feedback. If you or someone else you know would benefit from using our solution, we'd love to chat!

> That's not true of most other apps built in just React that do all their data fetching client side and store all the data client side.

I mean, it's true for any halfway competent implementation of a React app with React Router and SSR. I love Remix and I agree that it offers a great dev experience and will probably make developing React Router SSR apps much more accessible to a lot of new devs. But this particular aspect (SSR with nested routes that each have their own data loader function, and links that are actual <a href="" /> links) is, like, the bare minimum functionality you'd have in an SSR React app 5 years ago. I always feel like the Remix team is massively underselling itself when they focus so much on "we have SSR with nested routes!" instead of focusing on the real innovations that Remix brings to the table.
I agree. That's the inevitable convergence device, and it will rule the world, superseding the smartphone. I don't really see any other alternative.

But it might be five years away or thirty. I'm skeptical of Facebook's efforts in particular.
I am like a baby when it comes to political and cultural thought. I apologize if my questions are stupid.

Is Marxism a form of Socialism? And are the failings of the implementations throughout history a direct result of the ideology itself?
> What sort of a closed minded attitude is it to say “why would I bother looking into the facts that support a conclusion I am not willing to believe could possibly be true”

It's not about not believing the conclusion itself, my point is that it's absurd to claim there is a meaningful objective sense in which the Mona Lisa is better or worse art than the Oddisey. The question itself is meaningless. Of course you can invent a model which assigns some quantitative art goodness value to pieces of art - your model could say "the more color it has, the better the artwork": perfectly objective, entirely useless.
Hi. I'm the language designer behind this feature :)

A few points.

> but the following would generate the same string, since each line begins after the """:

That's not a virtue here. The point is to be able to write clear literals that never need escapes and which allow for easy grokking of what the content actually is.

All current string forms in C# require some amount of manual (or tooling) help to fix them up to be legal. That's not the case with this literal. The content can always work as-is without having to touch it at all.
What if, under the banner of opposing pay-for-access lobbying in Government and the way it gives those able to spend the most the loudest voice and ability to shut out the masses, we build a private organization whose internal structure is centered explicitly around pay-for-access lobbying internally that allows those able to spend the most to have the loudest voice, and then have that organization lobby Government “for the people”?

Go home, Andrew, you’re drunk.
> I do not think the people who designed the chip were amateurs.

How do you define amateurs?

Most chip designers in US will work on less than 10 designs in their lifetimes.

In Asia, a chip outsourcing shop pumps out that much in a month.
>I'm very aware of our Charter, thank you very much. I recommend reading section 1 of the charter and understanding what reasonable means in the context of section 8 (not 6 as in your comment) from the Canadian legal perspective.

You're right, section 8.

There is to date no section 1 limitations or exemptions to peaceful assembly nor search and seizure.

Something that has been quite interesting is how many lawyers are frothing at the mouth right now. The emergencies act is going from academic to case law. Never before and there's clear charter right violations at the same time as the act being misused.

>I should have said "agenda" rather than biased, sorry.

I am very biased. I believe in charter rights that have been enshrined and defined by international treaty.

The reality that after years of covid restrictions impacting our rights. It's time, like the rest of the world, to return our rights. This protest was inevitable at the reasonable end of the pandemic.

Trudeau should have taken advice from his own party and not vilified the protest quite wrongly. Spoke with them, provided a roadmap to the exit. Instead here we are with charter right abuses and martial law

Oh what do you think about the City of Ottawa planning to euthanize pets of the protesters? https://twitter.com/OttawaBylaw/status/1494306645274509316?
The DoD is also larger than any company.
“Pulling on the strings” has a different meaning from “pulling strings”. That may not seem reasonable, but it’s an expression that is phrasal-verb adjacent, and a single preposition can alter the meaning.
Others have pointed out some problems resulting from gentrification, but another is that of your home price rises a lot, so do your property taxes and you can still end up priced out of your own neighborhood that way.

Ask HN: Has mask wearing affected your lip-reading?
I use lips frequently to supplement my hearing loss. I frequently have to ask people with masks to repeat what they just said.

It dawned on me today that there are people who rely on lip-reading to communicate, and have probably struggled the past two years. What if anything have you been able to do to help?
> Housing affordability is a serious crisis right now and neither political party seems to be recognizing it.

Why do you say this?

There have been numerous bills introduced at the local, state, and federal levels which specifically aim to address housing affordability. Seriously, just type in "affordable housing bill" into your favorite search engine and look at all the articles coming up from the past six months.

My local city council has affordable housing on the agenda for several of the committee meetings.

Misquoted from the Internet: Tech enthusiasts have voice-controlled smart home hubs; sysadmins have a printer and a gun next to it to shoot the printer if it starts acting up.
For real. I bought my first house a few years ago. If I hadn't, I'd be fucked.

My friends who are double income but not tech are trying to buy a home now. Same experience as you. Cash offers always arrive and beat them.

I don't know how this ends but it's not going to be tenable for many folks to "live" in the USA as it stands.
Notably the architects, of the foreign policy blunders of the Bush Administration such as Dick Cheney, Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan (Project for a New American Century) have gravitated toward the left and its foreign policy. You'd have to be 40 years old to understand the significance of these players and one advantage of being a politician - is that there is a new generation that forgets. These players are anti-trump Hero's in today's media, but they were proponents of brutal wars 20 years ago.
I don't think there is, the original is as good as it gets I think. I only switched to KeePassXC for their native Linux support.
> but can't they use a symbol before the string like they do with interpolation `$` or literals `@`?

Hi! I'm the language designer here :)

I know it says design decision to go with 1 more " than the longest sequence of " in the string, but why ?

Because if we use a symbol before the string, then there needs to be some mechanism to escape it within the string. e.g. if you use `@` literals, you still need to escape quotes within the string literal. The point of this feature (which we try to spell out in the spec) is so that you can have content without the need to escape anything at all.
This is probably way outside of my sphere of competence, but....

If your approach is adopted, people would simply treat /dev/random and /dev/urandom as the same thing (which I gather is your intended goal). That is fine as long as CSPRNGs are relatively easy to make. I hear that this hinges on fancy theorems like P=BPP being true, but apparently they're not proven yet.

What if... in some parallel universe it turns out that P!=BPP, and the concept of CSPRNGs is fundamentally broken, and somebody discovers a practical method to break whatever PRNG is implemented in a system? In this admittedly unlikely universe, keeping the distinction between /dev/random and /dev/urandom (i.e. the former could block indefinitely, the latter could be insecure) seems to be the safer approach. Of course in this universe, Linux would still have to pull the PRNG from /dev/random and revert back to the old behavior, but at least it's fixable. But if userland drops the distinction between /dev/random and /dev/urandom, then the problem would be fundamentally unfixable until every app reviews and decides which guarantee they want for themselves (and releases patches).

Of course your patch does not really imply the contract between the kernel and userland has changed, which is why I mentioned intention. If it is intended to change the contract, maybe it's better to wait for P=BPP before you do it? :P
M-Pesa fraud on the rise in Kenya
When I drove across the country in my early 20s what struck me the most was that we have nearly unlimited undeveloped land. I believe we are close to a tipping point in this country, with WFH becoming even more widely accepted, and push for more energy efficient homes, that we will see significant single home developments across rural areas over the next decade. Whether that benefits homebuyers or developers/corporations will be up to regulations and incentives.
It could automatically load SSH keyd to Putty Agent on DB opening. Nice convenience for e.g. GitHub keys. Learned about it accidentally after long usage. It performs great for core functions. I store the db in DropBox and the second factor key file in OneDrive personal vault.
The third and fourth row of today’s game seem totally implausible to me. It would be nice if Reversle would choose realistic Wordle guesses.
> I guess you could tax all collateralized loans above a certain collateral value but that can be gamed. So personally I prefer consumption taxes.

Interesting idea. We sort of already do this, we apply property taxes based on the value of the property as pegged at purchase (re-assessed over time). We could exempt loans on collateral already subject to property (or other value-based) taxes, but could then put a wealth tax on any other asset used as collateral for a loan at the collateral value agreed on by the lender.
What relevancy does this political op-ed have on hacker news? None.
