To be clear, I was ultimately able to export. My complaint is that at the time I was doing this (July 2021), the web client, phone app and then-new Linux desktop app had no means of export, which is something 1Password support acknowledged to me at the time. They were aware of this problem for at least a couple years and left it unaddressed despite numerous customer and internal complaints, and at least one senior 1password employee who I met at a conference told me this was a fact that said employee found embarrassing. I had to go dust off my old Mac, which I was fortunate to still have, to export my data. Even then, the feature was broken in the version I had installed, and 1Password support was reluctant to help me get it to work, and only wanted to do so by collecting an unnecessary amount of information.

This contains several misconceptions.

Keys are not just "passwords saved to disk". My private keys exist in hardware, on Yubikeys. They aren't on disk. The hardware requires authentication to access.

You're typing your passwords zillions of times. I log in to my system once, authenticate to my HSM once, and I can access many hosts via scripts and automated tools. This is impossible to do securely with password auth.

You're also training yourself to manually input the entirety of your authentication credential multiple times per day (or hour). This is bad practice, as anyone stealing it then has the keys (ha) to your kingdom (and they have way more opportunities to steal it!). Even if you just replace password auth with a password-protected key on disk, and don't use a password-caching agent that holds the decrypted key in ram (as would be typical), so that you're still typing your password each and every authentication, you've raised the bar substantially because someone would need to steal your encrypted key from disk in addition to obtaining your password.

Then there's the issue of cycling credentials, and the mental loads involved. I can cycle my keys without changing my workflow or having to type anything differently.

Passwords are not good authentication tools. Use actual cryptography.
Why does everyone need to control everyone else. Can we just live our lives and deal with everyone as individuals not as members of some other group?
I wanted to make something similar for years, just with more focus on timing and multi-threading :) I really cringe when I read recipe for normal people and it says something like "Chop ingredients A and B and put them into bowl. Now add previously prepared mixture of C and D.". I mean, just tell me first to mix C and D, not in the middle of the process. Lazy initialization is not always good :) The same thing when the recipe tells "and now put all of that into preheated oven". Great, now I have to wait for 15 minutes until oven heats. That should be done on the first thread which waits on a barrier until I finish with the dough in the second thread.
> Have you done any blood tests after going with this diet for a few months?

Nope, I kind of regret not doing something like that to compare before/after. I'm from the UK, you can't just go to your doctor and ask them to do random blood tests if there's nothing wrong with you. They'll politely tell you to go away. Getting them done privately didn't feel worth it, I had little faith in the DIY ones being accurate and getting it done at a clinic was too expensive last time I looked.

I took vitamin D supplements, before and after. But that's because we get no sun in Scotland :(.

An interesting question here is: How would they know that you used the SDK?

Does the camera have non-volatile memory for saving that piece of info? Assuming that it does, how can they make that bit tamper-proof?

Not that tamper-proofing is undoable, but it would require a lot of expensive engineering, just to save them from replacing a few dozens of cameras that presumably may break because of incorrect use of the SDK.

I can accept him, and will interact with him, but I won't do things that put money in his pocket to further advertise his views. Increasing his view counts, either via my watching, or my linking others to watch, does that. I am morally opposed to doing that. It's nothing to do with "the ability to accept or interact" with him; I just won't fund him.

Ask HN: How to provide a free trial without being abused?
I've launched a few weeks ago Elest.io (fully managed open source) and we are struggling with free trials.

If we don't ask for a valid CC people from all around the world abuse the free trial and use the services to do DDOS, port scanning, and a lot of other illegal things!

When we do ask for CC legit users are turned away ... we tried to explain that we don't charge anything and it's only for fraud prevention ... but not effect.

We also tried to ask for a public social network profile to verify the identity instead of a CC but again it was not well perceived.

Is there any solution to this?
It is true, although a specialized form of software that requires extra hardware, GPUs.

I can see why you might get confused there but it feels like nitpicking. I never expected to click on any of those elements because they don't look like a traditional table or outline view.
The boilerplate problem has been solved decades ago. You can use macros or code generation. Letting Copilot do that for you seems a bit like an ugly workaround. We sometimes need those, but at some point we should be taking a step back and design a program instead of hacking away.
This. I would add that in my case, I was diagnosed with OSA after I was referred from specialized clinic during my treatment of other condition/checkup (either of these, can't recall). I'll be 29 this year and have been using CPAP for 3-4 years.

I observe that my mother has the similar condition like myself when sleeping, and persuaded her to get diagnosed. She has OSA as well, but less severe. Maybe the indicator of abnormal sleep condition as observed by self or someone close by would convince people to seek help.
I do! I watch stuff made by other people. Veritasium is an example of a similar channel that's better.

React went from v0.14 to v15. The rationale was the library was stable at that point so they could switch to major versions. Why they went directly to version 15 rather than 1.0 is admittedly a bit odd. I guess it was marketing in the same vein of Java 1.4 to Java 5.

> Two things here. The first is that it's not pointless to consider how deaths could be reduced even if we were reduced to wild guesses. Most of human history has only had access to trial and error, and the hope of some insight springing up, and our ancestors did a fine job. We've got it easy.

This thread isn't considering how deaths can be reduced though. It's purely about making wild guesses about total death tolls without factoring in any additional variables. It's not even a statistical analysis, it's just people throwing around cherry picked "guestimations"f based on their prior assumptions.

> However, we don't need a parallel universe, different countries did different things, and - as the Macmillan report shows - it's possible to see that there's a link between the effects of lockdown (e.g. missed cancer diagnoses) and higher levels of mortality resulting from that, even if the precision is unknowable (which is won't be, it just won't be perfect).

Health care systems vary wildly from country to country. COVID infection rates varied wildly. As do cancer treatments and diagnosis. You can get some approximate figures to make speculations but it's a long way off a proof.

> People aren't stupid,

I wish I could agree with you on that one but the last 5 years has really made me change my mind about the degree of common sense in a great many people :-/

> - were lockdowns more effective than not?

> - which kinds of lockdowns were beneficial?

> - what lessons can we learn?

We had a lot of data on that already quite early on and bare in mind this isn't even the first outbreak that has needed to be contained (it's not even the first coronavirus outbreak let alone the first infectious virus). A large part of the problem isn't just what technically works better but what is more socially acceptable for a particular culture. For example South Korea was a lot more effective at restricting the spread of COVID than America but America's culture is based on different principles than South Korea's.

This is why I say you cannot come up with a proof without spinning up a parallel universe. While you can gather information from observing other responses in other countries, it's not proof that the same would have held true in your own country too.

> You can't on the one hand use a there is no parallel universe argument for your own rebuttal and then hope to avoid it by claiming bigger problems without a lockdown. Be fair.

They're not conflicting arguments so it's absolutely fair to make both statements.

Thanks for your work on Postico. Was looking for a Mac based GUI when I made the switch from MySQL to Postgresql almost 10 years ago. Sequel Pro was my go to interface for understanding my database tables in MySQL and I wanted something similar for Postgresql. I bought a license years ago and it is part of my daily workflow. Didn't know about v2, will have to check that out!
Are you saying they'll miss out on a multi billion dollar profit opportunity because "it's not a short drive". Many VC firms have European offices, there's Zoom or a plane flight. Cross border investment is not a new or alien thing so dealing with taxes or regulation isn't something they can't cope with. So money not being available isn't a convincing reason.

Ok, then we agree. Of course a simulator will have an implicit loop, that's not contentious.

However you did not mention this in your initial statement, and I've read and been told explicitly not to think of it like this because there's no loop in hardware.
> Orrr we could compare to the places that didn't have any measures in place since mid-2020. About half of US states, for example.

States vary wildly in terms of economy and culture. While there's benefit in looking at each state and seeing what worked, that isn't proof that the same would have worked in all states (let alone all countries).

Ask HN: What AWS technology do you use to deploy “hello world” containers?
Short answer: buy the cheapest phone you can find, especially if you can buy it from hands to hands without a post. Second rule is: the dumber the phone the simpler to grok its settings and the less likely it will bother you in unexpected situations.

Longer answer depends of what features you need: j2me (for reading HN if needed), qwerty keyboard (for writing long comments on same resource), jack 3.5mm (for radio/mp3/lossless depends of smartness), quality of camera if any, longevity of body, maybe something unique like that feeling from opening/closing a 8800. Somebody cares about GSM-900 which works best in deep woods. Today before buying smartphone we are reading about how much RAM and pixels it has and that's all. But 15-20 years ago choosing a phone was really interesting process.

Consider having several chargers especially if you are going to use something not common and not famous by longevity like thin Nokia's port. Maybe you want to solder USB-A instead of a socket with an integrated power supply to your proprietary charger socket (if 5V) to let your dumbphone be charged from powerbanks, for my Nokias with thin charger it works perfect. Avoid sh~ like Sony Ericson's FastPort (which is required for charging) and rare memory like MMC and prefer MicroUSB for charging and MicroSD for storage. For example, I love listening podcasts so my memory cards doesn't live for a long time if every week I need to refill all the memory with new files - but MicroSD costs next to nothing. Consider having extra batteries or maybe several phones having similar battery, especially if you love hiking. For example, some old Samsungs can use battery from smaller Samsungs (with spacer made from anything) and Nokia's BL-5C is one of the most popular batteries ever.

Nokia 1280 has jack 3.5 for a radio, a lighter (poor but better than nothing), its body is not much weaker from 3310 but replaceble without a screwdriver with several colors from grey to purple. Battery is not BL-5C but its SIM slot works decent even with cut simcards. So let this dumbphone be my go-to answer.

When I started working on Postico, the other PostgreSQL client apps all had a really dated Windows 95 / Java UI style, with hundreds of toolbar icons, assistants for everything, and lots of modal dialogs. They were such a kludge that many people just used psql on the command line instead.

I wanted to make a modern database app for PostgreSQL, like Sequel Pro or Base. I also took a lot of inspiration from other modern Mac apps, like Transmit from Panic, or all the Omni Group apps.

One of the features that best showcases what I consider "modern" is the table structure editor, where I spent a lot time on the interaction design. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out (even though there are issues with it and I never finished all the features I would like to have in there).

In the last 10 years, a few other "modern" database apps for PostgreSQL have been developed, like PSequel, SQLPro Studio, and as other people have commented here, Table Plus, so Postico is probably no longer unique in trying to be modern.

At some level, Postico is even starting to look a bit dated, since I haven't been keen on the direction Apple has been going in the last few years. So maybe it's not entirely accurate to call Postico modern any more, but I do keep looking at what other Mac apps are doing, and what Apple is doing with their apps, and use that as a guiding post to keep Postico a "modern" app that feels at home on the Mac.
DB dev here with > 2 decades experience. This is just IMO and it depends on your needs, but these fit mine. If you're using SQL on small DBs you can probably get away with what you do, for large DBs that won't fly.

Visual query builders are a deskilling device. There's a small hump to get over to learn to write SQL queries, it's worth getting over (IMO) (there are times when I'd like to take a large existing multi-way join and see a pic of it though).

The index wizard is likewise de-skilling. If you know what you are doing you 99% don't need it (I've got a couple of useful tips off it, ever, that's all). You need to understand what the query optimiser does and how to give it the info it needs (indexes, clustered indexes, stats, whatever), which the wizard will not help you understand.

These are not fundamentally complex or magic (there will be times you wonder at the stupidity of the query plan), there are books on this and lots of articles out there.

For small dbs, no problem, but as they grow not understanding the optimiser will kill you.

Anyway, my experience. Don't feel pressured, do what works for you.
