FWIW, I happened to try and login to my Google account a few months ago and was promptly kicked out in exactly the same way, and after root-causing "what did I do..." I realized it was because I'd just set --remote-debugging-port=.... when restarting my Chrome session.

Turns out this sets navigator.webdriver (as in, makes that key exist), which Google's login chucks a wobbly at. It will not let you in with that set, sadly because dumb scammers seem to absolutely love (???) using headless Chromium to attempt to fulfill their dastardly plans. (Which is really sad, because it makes legitimate tinkering that much harder (eg, can't interact with my primary session using nodejs/whatever :<).)

I'm wondering if Firefox is setting something off something similar. You say this only happens randomly? I wonder what correlated thing is happening at the same time as these failures, and if the "oh it's that" is on your or Google's side of the internet connection...
The first step is admitting you have a problem.

I am also an idiot.

>Why the congratulations?

Valve and everyone has been stealing pc games for 23+ years since 1997. In case you weren't aware, in the 90's any hacker worth his salt, if you suggested taking up any client-server app you were looked at as a pariah, it's the ultimate security risk.

Trusted computing is literally them stealing ownership of your PC, the TPM and "security chips" are all about ending you controlling your pc, you can't have any privacy when microsoft can force update your bios with windows update. That's what the big plan was since the mid 90's.

Go have a read, if you still think personal computer ownership isn't under attack you're clueless:

https://web2.qatar.cmu.edu/cs/15349/dl/DRM-TC.pdf

You don't grasp that two or more computers in a network become and hehave as single device. So you never want a client-server exe, that's the same thing as getting your computer hacked and owned, they can spy on you and do anything because you can't audit the source. That's why anyone with a clue wants to avoid windows 10+ with TPM chips because they can remote update your system and disable cracked or other software they don't approve of, when there is plenty of legit reasons for cracking old software.

It's also why level editors disappeared in AAA Games, basic multiplayer was a feature that came in every AAA Game in the 90's until Richard garriot had the bright idea of stealing the networking code, coding it in a weird way and selling it back to the public minus ownership.

You don't seem to grasp after the 2008 bailouts and the war in IRAQ, you live in a lawless oligarchy who's laws have been bribed into being for 200 years.

Copyright law was originally invented to preserve human culture, in the modern era, it's just been endlessly extended. The average citizen is politically illiterate and ignorant that he doensn't live in a democracy but a lawless oligarchy.

> In React, we render lists by using regular JavaScript idioms like loops, arrays, and array methods like map. However in Solid.js, much like traditional templating languages, we get a construct like <For> that reinvents a concept that's already in the language.

This argument is silly because it inevitably becomes a pissing contest of who can be most like vanilla JavaScript. In that case, why use JSX? Just write hyperscript calls instead. Why use React Router/React Context helpers? Just wrap your components using vanilla function providers instead. Why use React Hooks, which inevitably look like magic to a JavaScript veteran because the library inherently hides away some global state? I hope you can see what I'm getting at here.
You can readily wire money with any bank in the US. It exists but people don’t really use it. It just never caught on much as a consumer product because of alternatives like ACH and debit cards that achieve the same thing.
It's .875rem, which works out to 14px with standard settings. That isn't huge but it's far from "damn tiny" in my opinion. You might have your browser set to a smaller default font size?
I've been revisiting this page hoping someone will answer your question, and I worry that it's significant that nobody has.
My favourite is 1-click to follow (no confirmation), but multi-click (with popup confirmation) to unfollow.
Did...did you read the article at all? The author, A. Has written successful Oauth2/OpenID libraries, B. Has built businesses atop them, C. Has still seen a lot of people misuse them, and D. Is recommending libraries that are narrower in scope, not homegrown auth solutions.
Everything is relative to inflation and other investment opportunities.

The rate on our loan is something like 1.6% (shortly after it was literally 0%). If I can find an investment for more than 1.6%, I'm technically coming out better. Loan fees make the math fuzzier, but I'm simply demonstrating for this conversation.

For example, if I can make 4% on an investment and a loan is 1.6%, that means I can still make 2.4% net interest if take the loan and use the cash to invest.

The math gets even more favorable when you consider inflation. $1 in 5 years is actually cheaper to me than $1 right now.
There is risk in cash, it is called inflation, if you bought a car last year you lost 7% + depreciation of the car since you bought it. The SP500 is up 11% since last year.

This means you would have lost 7% to inflation, 11% to potential upside plus depreciation of your car. Assuming your car did not depreciate because of current car production shortages you lost 18% of your money buying cash vs 3%-4% interest on the loan.

Cash is not risk free
Really nice write-up.
> The US would still be required to abide by the Fourth Amendment though.

Only directly. The Five Eyes and other 'partners' routinely share intelligence with each other that their counterparts would face barriers to collecting.
What do you mean by color-coded pages? That sounds useful, but I don't see anything about it?
Indeed: this is a hard compatibility break, without a simple workaround.

The thing is, this is nowhere near new: it's been announced years ago, and slowly rolled out since 2019. Actually, IIRC, the rollout has been postponed at least once in 2020, due to covid (in order to not cut people off). I recall implementing Xoauth for IMAP, specifically for this.
Mail providers never wrote rfcs. Nor are they expensive, just concensus requiring.

If email was encrypted at rest, gmail would disappear overnight. Gmail's whole purpose is end user data gathering, for profit.

Many other mail providers are the same.

You don't have to actively destroy things, with or without malicious intent, it's enough to just let them take their natural course.

That is the great Russian tragic, they never can be sure to be safe.
It ends in paranoia.
Paranoia with nukes.
One option would be to keep an iPhone or Android strictly for such apps but keep your personal browsing/email/IM/etc off it.
Encryption backdoors are not exclusively covert:

https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/all-about-encryption-backdo...

This is a backdoor, and puts to a lie the idea that this is in any way "anonymous". It's a tool of the state, to further centralize power around it.
We can at least eliminate ES5 now that IE is dead.
Actually, IMAP supports various authentication protocols - "plaintext login MUST be supported" was never a part of the spec.
Do you have the page zoomed out or something? The font-size on that page is 16px tall on desktop. Hacker News titles are 16px and comments are 14px. (Note: I measured in px manually due to the use of rems in the CSS; easier to compare this way)

It seems this is more likely for devices that are stationary but limited to battery power. Off the top of my head, I could imagine replacing the battery in my electronic front door lock with a tidy hardwire to avoid the need for occasional replacement.
RISC-V is succeeding
The entire point of your own domain is to provide continuity. Of course it's one more thing to worry about, but it also one more layer of protection (an important one).
Thanks for creating Snipd! I like the Obsidian integration and the triple-tap on AirPods Pro feature to capture a snippet. I'll definitely check it out.

While I would imagine this is challenging - what about Audible support? I might just solve this problem with money for the time being (buying Kindle + Audible for the books that I really do care about). But I still want the ability to "highlight" a book while listening to it via Audible and my hack (Siri + Reminders on Watch) doesn't really let me easily do this. Any thoughts here?
Those are also on the way out...
For someone who's wrong, you use a lot of caps. Fact is, most German homes are heated with gas and that is partially due to the politicians who have been close to the O&G industry, and partially due to "das haben wir immer so gemacht."

Due to low ownership rate of apartments, why would a landlord invest more money in heating with heatpumps or using more efficient insulation materials when he would bear the costs, but the tenant would get the benefits? So they only do it when forced to, or it is cheaper to use renewables.

Most of Germany, including politicians and home owners would quite gladly stay on fossil fuels aside from some blowhards who talk more than act.
Most faang employees would not do well in competitive programming challenges because those are way harder than interview questions. Some interview style questions are unreasonable but a lot can be solved with basic concepts
Same thing here. I rewatched it as an adult a few years ago and suddenly the idealism and professionalism and lowkey-utopianism leapt out at me, and like you I realized that these things had stayed with me since high school.

It's given me a new appreciation for how important it is for children to grow up with truly idealistic visions in their cultural surroundings. It's terrible that in these times, there's no TNG equivalent that I'm aware of.

By the way, one TNGie to another: try to hold off on that disappointment. As a species we're just starting to get the hang of rationality, the scientific mindset, and self-governance. We're babies. It'll take a long time, we just need to try not to do any irreversible damage before we get where we're going.
I mean, dark mode alone is somewhat a redesign for redesign's sake that is nevertheless bound to please many of MDN's audience.
It worked very poorly for me on iOS (Firefox, not that it matters). Trying to hover over the side bar made it immediately click on whichever link happened to be under my finger when the sidebar appeared.
No, it's not OK, but the drive that some people have to make it an issue of skin color is misguided. It's not skin color, it's relevance. Equally cruel, but still different.

The world is organized by a small group of countries and power blocks that are in charge, whilst the other 90% has no meaningful economical or military relevance. This in no way makes it "more OK" to do harm, I'm just saying the selector is relevance, not race.
Hi HN! I recently opened registrations for the Women Make 30-Day Challenge. I'm inviting members of the HN community who'd like to ship a project. Everybody is welcome, and there is no competition. This is an opportunity to motivate yourself, work among others, and achieve to build & launch something in a month.
My wife and I have found the tickle down of this is extremely nice. Most of these lease vehicles are 2 year, low-mile leases that are basically brand-new still. Many of them even extend warranties to the point you're basically getting a new car.
5G password protected access points
I've heard a lot about 5G eventually substituting wi-fi since it does a lot of the same things, but I haven't really seen any info regarding if the protocol includes provisions for password-protecting access points in the same way that WEP and WPA do. Does anybody know if that is planned?
Free Software Foundation announces new executive director, Zoë Kooyman
Don't get me wrong, plenty of griftcoin junk tech exists, but Ethereum is the most capable platform and moving away from Proof Of Work is a significant step.
I consider the lies noise. Twitter/FB etc the Signal to noise ratio is fixed, whereas with RSS I can tune it.

Hackernews is REALLY noisy.
But still the "open source software" claim and the MIT license. Not sure if those are still the right fit for this project.
Not to diminish their success, but isn’t it odd to have this concept of unicorn based on a fixed threshold? Due to inflation, isn’t reaching a valuation of 1 billion $ in 2022 vastly different from 1 billion $ in 2009?
sshfs/sftp throughput is very limited. scp acts much better here.
I think he means it in a metaphorical sense. Anything that grabs attention is "LOUD" in this sense (just as is ALL CAPS writing).
The basic principles for buying a car:

- Don't buy new, on avg the first 2-3 years you take the biggest depreciation risk

- Don't finance with the dealership, go to a credit union like DCU

- Negotiate, even in times like this you can negotiate

- If you can't get outside financing and you have to get dealer financing for whatever reason, they make money from the financing, negotiate even further down because of this

- Depending on your state some fees are illegal, check your laws, negotiate the fees off
I disagree.

> It seems like something that could be fixed with reasonable moderation.

This has got to be peak HN naivete
Technically correct?

but their meaning is "bitcoin/crypto". Much the same way internet/web and hoover/vacuum cleaner are interchangable to the general public.

As for if it's the actual cause? idk.

Not going to rehash what other people are writing about PGP, that could be a much longer conversation. But it's not just PGP that's the problem, PGP just happens to be what people are using to encrypt email.

If it was just PGP that was the problem, we'd use something else to encrypt our emails and it would be fine. But the problem is that any system that works like PGP where we're primarily encrypting message contents, where we're not thinking about stuff like forward secrecy -- that's not good for email. Email itself isn't good for that because email doesn't really lend itself to E2EE, regardless of what you use to do the encrypting and key validation.

So you could have a version of PGP that was amazing and brilliant, and it still wouldn't really be a good fit for encrypting email, because email is not a good fit for encrypting email. The entire structure of how email works makes it difficult to do encryption in a user-friendly, accessible way.

I am also pretty skeptical of PGP (see some of the other comments), but that's not specifically why I mentioned it in my original comment. I only brought it up because most email encryption schemes I see are using PGP, and I don't think that PGP miraculously solves the problem. It's not good enough to paper over the fundamental flaws in email itself.
> IMO there's significant complexity in building a feature-rich frontend client.

Doing complex things is always complex, but when SIMPLE things are complex, then something is going very wrong.

And this is exactly where we are with most JS frameworks these days. Layer upon Layer of abstraction, and instead of the complexity the dev has to deal with decreasing as a result of it being abstracted into frameworks offering simple interfaces, complexity increases.
These do look like submunitions, though: https://twitter.com/_____Tweety____/status/14983843018298941...

At least I don't see any rockets in any of the frames. And the explosions don't seem that big.
Password managers are just another liability. One more thing you could lose the password to. What if the service shuts down entirely?
Reminder: Software patents aren't a thing in most of the world.

This is a good thing, as this code should be studied and documented and free alternatives written while referencing this documentation.
I don't think you can really call this escalation. Escalation would be responding to military force in kind. Instead, the West is is confining itself to economic sanctions and material support. I don't really see how they can do less, frankly, without risking emboldening Putin to strike at Poland or the Baltics (thus involving NATO).
>> And them being chemists not physicists.

That was a huge part of it - I wrote a paper on the controversy for a class. The physicists basically said "That can't work, it must be a chemical reaction." Regardless of the physics working or not, they were effectively saying two chemists couldn't properly do calorimetry on a cell containing 4 elements that don't do very much chemically. This a much harsher thing than the chemists saying physics overlooked something.
Really? The reports about the issues I intimately know are superficial and laughable. A mixture of newspaper clippings, geopolitical fanfic and macro statistics only aim to reassure the biases of the authors.
When you don't know geography and where the fight is that's what happen.

I don't see where learning that fruit flies are a lot smarter than most people thought makes us appreciate nature less.

If you want a dystopian take, why not this one instead? Climate change is bad enough already if you just assume the billions of nonhuman animals killed, displaced, and degraded by it are meat robots. How much worse to know instead that they are, consistent with their capabilities, no less learning, thinking, and feeling beings than we are?
Yes. Thor wants you to be big and buff.
I have been in the industry since punch cards were a thing and servers took up multiple rooms. I've never been more productive. UI has gotten a lot better since those days and I have migrated my efforts to use frameworks such as Vue.js which is sofar the most elegant and modern approach for doing UI work. Creating a desktop app is very easy with electron js although beit a bit heavy and not the most effecient in terms of memory, cpu cycles, etc but it's easier than punch card days I used to enjoy.
Too much white that's made too many of the visual cues I'd use to navigate blend in with the rest of the page. In the past, I could immediately scroll to polyfills, browser compat charts, etc without having to pay attention while scrolling because those sections were so distinct. I've missed them three times already today and had to start over, scrolling slowly. For me, this update decreases usability.

If anyone from MDN is reading these replies, could you make the old stylesheets open so that we can use extensions like Stylus to put things back?
How is Anonymous attacking Russia? Disabling and hacking websites

One would hope...
>- PGP doesn’t give forward secrecy.

Generally, the value of forward secrecy in end to end encrypted messaging is proportional to the chance that the secret key material will be compromised. With an asynchronous, offline capable medium like encrypted email the secret key material can be protected very very well. A message archive accessible to the user for all practical purposes negates the value of forward secrecy. Most people like to keep their old emails around. Most people like to keep any form of messages around so that forward secrecy has little practical value in most forms of E2EE messaging.

There is no technical reason that you can't do forward secrecy for PGP. There is simply no real need for it. Encrypted email is more for the people that don't want their encrypted material compromised in the first place...

It's crazy that Elon Musk still has 17 percent of Tesla and founders are giving away more than that just by series A.

Is it because they are not creating anything truly unique with great market pull?
Its in Amazon's best interest to offer either convenience or lower price, which is what they do at the cost of treating labor poorly and harvesting usage data.

It's comfort and convenience subsidized through suffering
This has happened to me, briefly. I once forgot to renew and lost access to email. Luckily I was able to fix the issue quickly.

I do kind of wish I had never gone down the route of using my own domain for email. I use gmail with it, and will now have to bear a recurring payment of $6 monthly (IIRC). I could move hosts but none of them are free to my knowledge, and a free service comes with its own risks anyway. Plus that's my primary Google account.

Now I feel locked in ... it's less about updating my contacts, as I don't field a lot of personal or business email from that account, but more about all of the services where my account is associated with that email address. Not to mention that I've logged into some sites via Google. It would be a royal pain to switch now.

Edit: Also, my domain is super awkward, sometimes doesn't fit in the field when I'm writing it down on a form, and tends to draw comments when I just want to get my business done and go on. ALSO the account name is different from the name I actually use day to day now -- it's James when everyone knows me as Jay.
Humans able to manipulate consciousness the way we do matter and information? Now there's a dystopian take for you...
Oops. I have small web apps that use gmail accounts to send mail via SMTP, but this requires turning on "allow less secure apps". Will this break those apps? I suspected this would happen eventually and it's been finicky the past year or so anyway. It was a lazy solution to begin with -- so, I'm setting a reminder about this for May 20th.
You're not a risk-free borrower, so unsecured loans will always have a higher interest rate than secured loans, all other things equal.
Keep also in mind their view (whether self determined or propagandized) is that joining NATO means joining a coalition that may want to attack Russia. So the actual question in their mind is somewhat similar to ours — is it right to use preemptive military action, if the alternative is a bigger war down the line? It’s not an easy question to answer.
I think the most interesting feature of old desktop calculators was the use of the
'magnetostrictive metal wire acoustic delay line' for memory.
scp uses a custom stream protocol over stdout/stdin. It's more like a tarpipe, though shares nothing in terms of format with that.

SFTP is essentially RPC for the various I/O syscalls (open, read, write, ...) - it's basically NFS-as-a-user over SSH. Read/write size is limited to 32 kB per request (in OpenSSH / minimum supported size).
Seems a bit odd to call the version that repeatedly calls the constructor an OO pattern.
Then let's also point out that it is NOT an acronym, but instead an initialism.

It's so bad for Russian people and companies. We generally should not give any advice to them since their rescued incomes pour money into killings of Ukraine civilians. I hope you guys could cut off from the devastating powers in your country in some way.
