Preferring a formula over a password manager is advice of dubious quality. Yes, a password manager may be a hassle to setup, but it offers protection under a wider variety of threat models.

E.g. using the BaseballRules!<word> formula for your passwords gives you decent protection from completely automated attacks with no feedback loop. But if a human intercepts just one of these passwords, then they can easily brute-force their way to any of your accounts that doesn't have some sort of 2FA. Not nice. And good luck remembering the special <word> for more than a handful of web sites.

Plus, xeroxing/printing your password list is also not as benign as it sounds. Any professional copying machines or printer typically includes some sort of non-volatile memory, that could be used to recover recent printouts.

I use perfect privacy and they provide IPSec configs for iOS. Their guide even makes note to enable on-demand to prevent leaks.

Also, just checked Mullvad, which seems to open an IPSec server on your local device and then install a vpn config on your ios device. From the local IPSec server a connection is made to mullvad via wireguard.
On-demand is also enabled by default.

But yea, VPN were initially targeted at enterprises anyway. So I don’t mind that i actually have to install vpn profiles by hand.
This looks pretty cool. I've long been looking for something similar to Soulver (https://soulver.app/) that I can use on Linux. This seems promising.

One small criticism: In my opinion, no web-based writing app is useful unless the tab key inserts a tab. The default behavior of most browsers to move focus to the next field is tremendously infuriating in this context. Unfortunately, that's what happens here, at least for Firefox.

(Related: key combinations that normally perform cursor movements but which are often used by browser for navigation.)

Where? Seriously, where?! Urban areas literally don't have enough space left any more to build any kind of building at affordable prices (plot values have sometimes doubled over four years here [1]), not to mention the associated followup costs of high-density populations (you need expensive subways as public transport at some point, denser / more anonymous populations leading to lower societal cohesion and rising crime as a result) or the fact that most urban areas simply are unsustainable regarding climate change in the long term (no trees to provide shade = lots of heat).

No, particularly in combination with the lack of an active magnetic field to shield the atmosphere from the solar wind. It's thought Mars had a much thicker atmosphere in the far past, now mostly bled off into space. Though if a new atmosphere were created, it would be lost again on a very, very long time-scale -- hundreds of millions of years. It might work to just "top up" once in a while.
Ask HN: Has YouTube been slow for you recently?
Over the last couple of days I've been having issues playing videos on YouTube in Firefox. I wondered if anyone else has experienced slowness? I've asked around a couple of my friends and they're experiencing the same thing. Usually the video won't autoplay and I have to wait a few minutes for it to work then sometimes it will buffer in the video (the last time i remember that happening would have been 10 years ago).

Losing the enthusiasm to blog and create videos. Also I guess a certain lack of not giving a damn if you actually produce something valuable. For example 10-15 years ago I was very eager to write down every little thing I learned, but after a certain time you either notice that you don't know a lot, in the grand scheme of things, and your bar for "will I publish this" can go up a lot, or you're suddenly working on highly specialized or super secret (offficialy) tech where you can't really publish anything... or you actually notice that you become proficient in stuff you find generally uninteresting. Best example is.. enjoying your work but not feeling in the mood to spend your free time on explaining some weird quirks to the general public.

Also writing books is something you need to enjoy or at least feel driven to do. For most people it's not worth it in a monetary sense either.
Is "big snake" really common?

To me it looks like it is common in places with an abundance of snakes in different sizes, which makes the creation of a fable with "an even bigger snake" as predator quite reasonable.

rabbits or pigeons were not really feared/respected, so a story about them being bigger might not be that memorable...

As for big rabbitm there's some mythology though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit

Giant Birds exist in a few fables iirc (I don't know why of all possible birds a fable would portrait a giant pigeon, Eagles or Falcons carry more ambiguity and respect I'd say)

I have the same experience here. I installed Arch on 2011. I've switched laptops multiple times. Once I copied the entire disk as-is into the new one and grew the partition. Another time I rsync'd the entire disk.

Things broke probably one or two times throughout this time. I broke things more times while tinkering with internals or startup sequence myself. I've learnt an immense amount doing this too.

Arch requires a bit of effort getting into, but honestly, the KISS philosophy really pays off.

> but there's almost no way China and Russia would win such a war

For any sensible definitions of 'win', there's also no way the US can win against China, or even Russia. Both China and Russia are impossible to successfully invade and they both have nuclear weapons (same applies to the US).

These 3 countries do not want to go to war against each others and they won't. As the WOPR once wisely concluded, the only winning move is not to play.

So every time the US 'flex their muscles' over Ukraine or Taiwan we pretty much know that this is rhetorics and that they won't actually intervene directly.

Edit: I'm bowing in shame and have corrected WOPR (not Whopper). Thanks @jgrahamc.
> We apparently have a society where doing things that make everyone richer can be prevented quite easily as long as a small group profits at everyone else's expense.

A tale as old as time. The Roman Republic went through the same issue, more than 2000 years ago, with all the unrest you'd expect when a class of rich people enrich themselves even more to the complete detriment of the rest of society.
I hadn't thought about that before but I think you're right, I've added it to my roadmap.

Getting operator precedence right has been pretty fraught tbh. For example "1km / 3 hours" is evaluated as "(1km) / (3 hours)", but "1 / 3 hours" is evaluated as "(1 / 3) hours", which is odd from a PL perspective, but I think it's more intuitive from a user perspective for this sort of thing.
If your hosting provider makes similar privacy guarantees to a similar VPN provider, then perhaps. For bonus points, use a hosted VM and commercial VPN in serial.

Again though, if the US Government is a potential adversary, there's still risk here. Intelligence services could have a 0-day on your linux distro, or an operative within the hosting company. If they get access, they can turn your hosted VM against you.
There are already big mammals that people fear and tell tales of: lion, tiger, elephants etc. they were also mythical creature in some of Europe in the medieval period. The addition of a huge reptile seems consistent. There are also big humans (giants), and big sea creatures (leviathan, kraken).
It's probably a stretch on big picture but some have vacuum compartment for fresh meat and fish and humid compartment for vegetables.
Is it the least bad option, though?

I'm no expert but I think the argument goes that by allowing free trade we create links between societies, as well as offering more opportunities for putting political pressure for change (even if change is far slower than the people suffering under those regimes deserve) vs the alternative of North Korea style alienation?

Is there a better option? The US+allies could kill those authoritarian leaders, invade those countries, "liberate" the people, etc etc but that doesn't exactly have a great track record for improving the countries invaded...

the translation is very typical of automatic translation from Spanish to English.

Spanish usually conjugates 3rd person verbs without regard for the gender (or humanity) of the instigator. this leaves the gender (or lack thereof) to context. that is relatively easy for a human translator to read, but not so easy for an automatic one.

you can specify gender by placing a pronoun before the word (él/ella/lo), but this is more for emphasis and isn’t required like it is in English

there are also a few syntactical errors typical of machine translation, like incorrectly formatted links (look at the “infobae” hyperlinks)

interestingly there are languages that go beyond Spanish in this. Estonian, for example, doesn’t have gendered pronouns at all, leading its speakers to occasionally confuse he and she when speaking in English, in a way somewhat reminiscent of this translation
I'd say that Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) could be explained in somewhat similar terms. While very few spiders have venom potent enough to be directly lethal to a healthy person...if you do not have modern medical care available, and the bite "only" causes tissue death in a small area, then bacterial infections get established in the dead tissue...the end result will still often be major disability or death.

> Housing is (along with healthcare in the US) a big part of why most people in the so-called "rich world" are in fact dismally poor, only one missed paycheck or turn of bad luck away from life becoming unlivable.

Not really.

Let's set up a quick boundary condition. Since you mentioned most people, you're talking about the lower-middle and middle classes. Let's keep the discussion on them. The working poor have it bad almost everywhere, and I think we both agree that there's more that can be done in most countries to support them.

For someone with a median household income, it's still very much possible to finding housing that is less than 25-30% of their household income. This is true even in high cost of living (HCOL) areas. Now, there are some cities or sections of cities that are unaffordable for someone with a median income, but these are very much the exceptions.

To put it simply, if you have a median household income for your country, in almost all locations in almost all OECD countries, you earn enough to follow a household budget that allows you to save 15-20% of your take home pay. If you can't save a portion of your income and you're not living off of a below-average wage, it's very likely that you either made decisions that aren't conducive to saving (e.g., you're house poor, car poor, or your discretionary spending is too high).

> along with healthcare in the US

Quality health care is expensive in most countries. The US has its own set of issues that make health care more expensive than in most other countries (e.g., population density), but it's not orders of magnitude higher. It's also offset by the higher salaries that people in the US earn over, say, the average EU state.

After reading the sibling comments to mine, I've worked out what it is doing.

> * 5 feet 8 inches to centimeters -> -171.72 cm

As @defrost said, the 'to' operator instructs NumPad to calculate the distance from the unit before 'to' and the unit after 'to'.

To the nearest mm, 5 feet 8 inches = 172.72cm

It appears that NumPad is defaulting to a value of '1' where no value is specified, so it is calcuating the distance BACK from '5 feet 8 inches' TO '1 centimeters'.

It correctly responds with -171.72, which is 1cm less than 172.72.

> * 5 feet 8 inches to meters -> -0.7272 m

Same as above, except the calucation is the distance back from '5 feet 8 inches' TO '1 metres'.*

If you use the operator 'in', NumPad calculates the answer correctly:

5 feet 8 inches in metres -> 1.7272 m

We opted for gray PVC windows. They matched the style of the house, pseudo wood PVC looks ugly and real wood, the preferred solution, was unaffordable. That was 9 years ago.

It all depends on the house so, on other houses wood / wood like looks way better and gray would just be ugly.

in a world where cars are not allowed to go fast, public transport would get dedicated tracks where it can go faster. even with busses there would be less traffic because a bus can carry a lot more people than many cars. therefore it would be much safer for pedestrians and the goal of reducing accidents would certainly be achieved.

Other successful ones (often the same companies actually) charge (even after their expenses) a higher fee than federal taxes to be part of their store, compelled by a series of hidden ecosystem costs to the consumers, monopolization tactics, and network effects. That company in Europe with the low profit per employee is potentially paying out 30% of their gross (taxes are at least only on net) to one of these.

Basically many of these jobs are "bullshit jobs," working on problems the companies themselves create to rip people off.

> explains ... why Chinese dragons are considered basically good and representative of government, but the great majority (although not all) European dragons are evil and often represent chaos.

This statement seems to make some underlying assumptions...

1. Government = good (including middle-ages monarchies)

2. The opposite of government (and particularly, existing government) is chaos.

3. It is evil to oppose the government.

I wonder if these assumptions are baked in to dragon myths, or whether they're tacked on retroactively

Definitely not my experience. I install an Ubuntu LTS release and I get 5 years of support with updates that never break anything. No doubt people have issues, but I've never encountered a problem during a security update that was not caused by my own previous mucking around. Rolling releases, on the other hand, are a nightmare for this, and smaller distros never work out of the box in my experience.

If you're saying upgrading between releases causes problems.. well that's true but not how I read the original statement, and not something I particularly care about. Each release is a different product and there's no reason to update until support is dropped on the one you're currently using.
