> Devbox was originally developed by jetpack.io and is internally powered by nix.

If this wasn't mentioned, I'd have easily mistaken devbox to be an escaped implementation of Brazil VersionSets and Apollo VersionFilters (used internally at Amazon).

If I may, in the near-term does jetpack.io plan to continue to use and sponsor devbox's development? And, in the long-term, does jetpack plan to monetize this project, or donate it to a foundation, or some such?
As academic world starts to act more like a religious church, and losing grip on being the good pastors of science, the actual scientific community will detach themselves and leave the academic dogmatists with a label of "scientism" at best.

Dunning-Kruger effect. It's all too common on places like HN.
I don't think you can separate science from politics. The scientific method that relies on repeatable experimental results is just a workaround for the general problem that the search for knowledge is done by highly opinionated, stubborn, egotistical, and very biased human beings. When people become scientists they don't lose those attributes, it's just that reproducibility of results act as a check on their biases. You can't remove politics from science without removing people from science. Even if the methodology is good, the question of which hypotheses are worth pursuing and which experiments should be done is political.

That said, I think scientists should be given pretty wide latitude to explore wherever their curiosity leads them, and results shouldn't be rejected from publication without really good reasons that go beyond "the results of this experiment make us uncomfortable". (Though as a practical matter, research that doesn't serve some political or social objective probably isn't going to get funding.)
I don't use either - I used Keepass and sync the key file amongst my devices. It doesn't have a lot of the features that other password managers have, but it's simple, open-source and works well enough for me.

I don't have much else to say that's worth arguing about. I just wanted to say that I acknowledge that you have a perspective on it that I can't have, and if I were in your shoes I'm pretty sure I would not ignore my intuition on this. As far as what I would do about it.... That's going to take some number of sleeps to think on.

Oh and Josh doesn't whine. He's kind of the dutiful servant. I think if you read his writing you'd see he actually speaks with a consciousness of the other side's point of view that almost nobody ever does when they're embroiled in this type of war where nobody will cede an inch. But that isn't enough for people. They won't accept anything short of him changing his mind.

I'm whining for him :)
Chrome Extension That Searches eBay for Sold Prices
I created my first chrome extension! I sell a lot of stuff on eBay. It is a fun little side hustle that I have. I tend to buy items on large auction sites. When I am on those sites I like to check how much an item has sold for previously on eBay. To do this I had to copy the item's title, go to eBay, search for the item, then switch the filter to show only sold items. This was tedious. I have done some React and JavaScript dev in the past so I put that to use. I came up with this extension which sets a new item into the context menu (right-click menu). All you do is highlight text, right-click, and choose "Search eBay sold listings for" and it opens a new tab.

At 1Password we actually did not mind developing separately for every platform. It's been done for years. We build it for ourselves and don't mind putting extra work for better experience.

However, the problem is that you end up with apps that behave differently, miss features, and have different bugs across platforms. Drives people crazy. Just one example: 1Password 7 for Windows shows different search results in a different order compared to the Mac app. Obviously it could be fixed but then a different issue pops up somewhere else.

Instead of adding new features we spent time fixing (making?) various bugs in different ways.

The new 1Password 8 still has a ton of platform-specific code but the core is the same across all desktop and mobile apps. It allows us to get the new features out faster and also spend time on platform-specific code.

The textual medium of the internet has allowed for the creation of differing written registers. You may have learned to write in a "standard way" in school that implicitly established itself as "the right way to write." What was left out was an analysis of the socio-linguistic component (probably because you were in 5th or 6th grade and this topic is addressed much later in specialized courses).

Proper or "improper" writing can signal formality and casualness and that sort of casualness is how I read the response. For example, I deliberately pick a register when I consider the audience I'm addressing and use it as a tool to convey side-band information. You may have seen social media posts where nearly every word is suffixed with an emoji. I'd consider this its own register. While I might use all lowercase in a text message or on a discord server, I'd likely only expect to read an emoji-laden message on Facebook or Twitter. Also if it came from me, it would probably look sarcastic as that's not a register I typically use.

Either way, people can do this accidentally, purposefully, or sometimes as a function of the medium. Eg: I can't write in an emoji-laden register here because HN strips emoji. An entire register, simply, and absolutely inaccessible. We probably agree that it doesn't fit the tone of the site, but still, we can imagine how the texture of the site would change if it was allowed and the pros and cons of that decision.

There is a trend on the political left right now that basically equates speech directly with violence (e.g. asking whether a man is capable of getting pregnant is violence)

No doubt because they wanted to be "inclusive" of such opinions.

I just voiced my support for their decision. Just as you are voicing your displeasure with it. I don't see how we are different.
I've been reading some old books lately including:

* From Atomos to Atom

* From Alchemy to Chemistry

* The Main Currents of Marxism Part 1 (not about Marxism - just a bunch of, mostly Christian, philosophers)

* The Skeptical Chemist

* Some of Descartes' work

I've noticed two notable things. First, the early Christian thinkers were _extremely_ logical. They did not shy away from human observation and philosophy, they embraced it. They spent a a majority of their study time reconciling human knowledge with scripture to try and understand their place in the world. Churches sponsored a lot of this research and invested heavily in making their religions consistent with human knowledge.

Second, not only did the church invest heavily in making their religion consistent with human knowledge, all of humanity did the same. So much effort went into reconciling the early greek philosophers with modern observation and religion. From medicine, to law, to religion, to alchemy - everything was very inter-dependent and few (if any) bodies of knowledge could stand on their own, they appealed to facts from diverse philosophies to justify their stances.

You see a pattern in the 1500s-1700s where, in a very short period of time, humans got _very good_ at attaching philosophy to physical phenomenon and reconciling what was observed with what they believed. During this period, pretty much every branch of human understanding underwent unprecedented massive paradigm shifts. Huge amounts of what was "known" were, fairly quickly, toppled when extremely foundational beliefs were questioned (i.e. the 3 element theory vs. the 4 element theory). A lot of folks were fairly invested in what they "knew" and didn't react well to the rug being pulled out from under them. It wasn't just "the church" that had a bad reaction to some of these thinkers; medicine rejected many early scientists like Paracelsus (generous to call them scientists) striping them of their credentials, jobs, etc.

I guess what I'm learning is that European history was a lot more messy than I thought it to be (shocker, I know). And it's really fascinating seeing these currents of thought develop over time. It's pretty amazing that it took us nearly 2000 years to question Aristotle and, once we did, the rapid progress that followed. It's only been about 400 years since we thought maybe there were 3 elements instead of 4, and we are already seriously considering colonizing another planet.

Hmmmm. Are you advocating that Bitwarden was feature-complete and should never build these things out of the product they have? Because things like SSO, role assumption, sharing, etc. are already part of their business offering.

What I'm complaining about above is the claim:

Bitwarden is a superior replacement in every way.

which I'll add, was compared to 1Password 5. Certainly that may be true for the grandparent poster, but I've put various features that exist in 1Password 8 (as a current user) that are missing in Bitwarden.

I'm happy to disagree and say that if you want a product that only does vault storage, and neglects all business or non-user/pass combo needs - great, you can have that. But to suggest somehow that Bitwarden is that product and should remain so - well I'm afraid you're not looking at their business model. They already have SSO options (see https://bitwarden.com/products/business/), audit & compliance, etc. I am being very frank about features that are missing from Bitwarden today that actual customers are looking for.
Why a surprise? Why very surprised?

There has been a sustained effort over the last 2+ years to make this happen:

- thousands of commits in many public Git repositories, mostly on GitHub

- cross-team calls (for a variety of teams external to the Ethereum Foundation, though having received grants from the same) with recordings, transcripts, and minutes that are accessible to the public

- a series of testnet "merges" leading up to the OP that stretch back over recent months

I'm asking a genuine question. Yes, I realize it's taken time to make it happen and far longer than originally estimated, but it's not like the announcement popped out of nowhere.

That was the case in the past when I evaluated it as well but, as I mentioned in my post, trust is more important to me than features and flash. I can usually find workarounds for features and flash. I can't find workarounds for trust in a security-focused company.

"Putting Pinterest at the top of image search results is effectively nothing more than a funnel to onboard more users for Pinterest, they rarely, if ever, have any relevance. I can't imagine why Google hasn't knocked them out of the results entirely at this point."
Absolutely. Pinterest makes Google Image Search much worse than it otherwise would be. I haven't clicked through to Pinterest from an image search for a while, but IIRC you couldn't click through to the image without getting 1. pestered to login and 2. having to scroll through multiple pages once you logged in. I have a vague recollection of this not being compliant with Google Webmaster Guidelines, but I can't recall which specific section, and it's not as if Pinterest is the only large player allowed to get away with breaches the average webmaster would be deindexed for.
Perhaps, but I suspect that the orderly personality type that often contributes to people studying engineering can, in excess, lead to a totalitarian world view.
Oh hey, I grew up in Kalamazoo and went to school in Ann Arbor. It's been so long since I lived there I might be remembering wrong, but I just don't remember that much to do on the street in question (compared to somewhere like Ann Arbor). When I lived there, I think it was open to traffic, but a single one-way lane? Parking never seemed to be a problem if you were willing to park a block away.
Radiation sensitive science experiments also have a need for low background lead. Here the need is for much older lead, ideally thousands of years old.

There's a lot that's missing. Someone else provided a list but there's a big chunk of things (like SSH keys) that aren't available in Bitwarden. Take this with a grain of salt, though, as my assessment is based on what I looked at last year.
I noted how the word "dance" is used in descriptive/metaphorical terms (cellular dance, nerve signal dance) but never do they actually compare the body-language dialogue between dancers, yet the clues: subtle pressures on legs, arms, back are the same: non-verbal, queues which lead to remarkably complex movements of two autonomous entities in unison.

The inter-species thing is strong. They emphases predator-prey, but mating rituals between same species demands expressions of agility and strength, and coordinated with the other party: you have (in my opinion) to go beyond "look at me" to make that outcome work in any species with higher functions. So I think the movements can't just be written down to a herd animals fear reaction.

Privacy Badger is not recommended these days. It actually makes you more fingerprintable in some cases. Its better to use in-browser anti fingerprinting.

Brave's adblock is actually based on the filtering used by ublock (check out the filter list pages for both browsers!). However, it is inferior to ublock on Firefox (or librewolf) as there is more sophisticated CNAME uncloaking (among other things) on FF/LW.
Nix shells is a killer feature so it seems smart to me to create a wrapper around it to simplify the experience. On the other hand, it's another layer of abstraction that you need to learn and debug when stuff breaks.

> Grey-Poupon, created in Dijon by Maurice Grey and Auguste Poupon in 1866 ... has been made in the US since the 1940s.

This came as a surprise. I had no idea. (Not that I thought it was made in Dijon proper, but at least in France.)
Nix absolutely needed a wrapper like this to be used 'in the real world.'

When you think about bringing it to production (eg getting dev teams to migrate to it), Nix goes from a genuinely interesting idea to an "oh, that's cute" experimental toy because no one is going to spend hours learning Nix's weird DSL. It's simply not approachable in its base form.

I spent hours converting my devboxes to NixOS and managing my dev environments with home-manager and I still don't have a clue how any of it works. Errors are opaque and annoying to debug. Dev environments constantly break and change in ways that belay the "reproducible" nature of Nix. If someone actively interested in Nix can't easily grasp it, how does anyone expect it to catch on in the real world?
This is why I use Brave Search now. It isn’t perfect, but it gets more relevant results than do other search engines.

> the prosecution drops the case

Agreed, someone would have to be egregious to attract prosecutorial attention. But for a civil judgement, using a temporary card with a fake name that is cancelled without notice (particularly if a discount was offered up front in exchange for commitment) is going to weigh in the plaintiff's favor. That, in turn, factors into e.g. credit agencies when considering taking such items off a report after the debt collector who bought it begins collections.

TL; DR This is a fine strategy. But try to cancel using the service's means. If they force you through loopholes, fire off an email and carry on. None of this is legal advice. But it does seem like the courteous thing to do.

In fact, the chances of these highly unlikely events actually goes up if you consider the person claimed to be God and did miracles to demonstrate his divinity - highly unlikely events is the exact thing you would expect from someone proving to be God

> Given that there are OSS options out there e.g. KeePass... Why stay?

Speaking for myself: because 1Password works everywhere I need it and it means I don't have to think about it. OSS is great at a lot of things. KeePass's user experience is indicative of a place where OSS frequently is not. If I have to think about my password manager, it isn't doing the job I need it to do; when I trialed KeePass, it made me think about it, therefore it doesn't work. For me, of course. Your mileage may vary.

I was a 1Password user before they moved to a subscription model, and I was mildly affronted that I would be stuck on an older version if I wanted to keep out-of-band syncing. More than mildly, honestly. Then I tried a bunch of alternatives and they were all, for my purposes, significantly inferior, either in the "I do not trust them to hold onto data" sense or in the features sense or both. So I tried 1Password again, realized that yup, it's still tops, and that $3 a month is way, way too little money to be agitated over. I have realized way more value from 1Password than I have paid either for the original purchase--which I used for quite a long time--or from my subscription.

I use it because it makes my life better. Surely you can understand that.

> And for large teams, LastPass has owned the market for a while now

I don't think that I know a single security professional in my circles who would recommend LastPass unless the alternative is "don't use a password manager".
