Let's say we could use some sort of wonder technology that ETs gave us to take something as big as a container ship and send it to Mars for cheap. Well, now you got the resources of earth supporting two planets and not just one. That's not an improvement. Might as well live underground instead.

The best and brightest do not work in finance or management. They become mathematicians, physicists, astrophysicists, chemists maybe also computer science and other areas of research. They are more interested in discovery, than rising through the ranks of management or possession of great wealth. They research in their area of expertise with a passion.

Of course they are not all business starters or entrepreneurs. The things society and competition, and law put you through when starting a business could well mean, that these people would never even consider starting a business, because it would take away way too much of their time, which they spend on working on the fringes of human knowledge. They simply don't have the time for such mundane things.

I would have simply reversed the order of the post.

"We're building padloc because we see no way to avoid X Y Z"
The points I was trying to make is that...

1. sure, it's great that it is open source and that I could self host, but honestly, it's just not worth the trouble for me and I'd rather pay 10-20 euros for someone to take care of that for me. Self hosting my password manager would take a significant time investment and constant worry whether I'm doing it right. It might be because I'm primarily an app developer now and not a backend expert anymore.

2. Most big projects like Bitwarden are alive because there is a company and many full time employees behind it. Once that's gone, relying on a couple of passionate volunteers might not be enough to keep the project alive.

All in all, I've been using Bitwarden since the LastPass fiasco, I'm very happy with it, paid user with my family, but if I had to self host or volunteer, I'd not have the bandwidth to do so and I'd rather switch to another solution, even if it would mean I need to pay.

I think that when people say "it's open source, I could just self host and maintain the project" often underestimate how much effort that really is. Sure, it's possible, but will you actually do it?

I feel like the default file input behavior is more user-friendly. Giving the user a choice between taking a new photo or uploading an existing one just seems way more flexible, and this is already how the file input works without the `capture` attribute.
Is it really condescending on it's own? It's not exactly a big secret many of us choose to work on relatively boring and useless things for the sake of comfort. That's more on society for aligning the benefits that way.
Haha. Perfect
You're exactly right. This is the crux of it. In many domains (not every domain, but every one I've ever worked in) you can delete/rewrite/change the app code without much fuss but the data is vital.

For that reason having constraints enforced by the system that stores the data, external to the app code which developers will inevitably mess up, is so useful and important.

So many issues in my experience have been similar to the one you describe. If the right constraints had been present so much work and so many headaches could have been avoided.

I feel like people who claim they're not needed or not important or "the app code will do it" need to be wrangled into maintenance work of old systems for a year or two until they repent. Rather than boshing out an ill-considered prototype and then moving on before the bugs are discovered.
Way more changed than I thought. I was only focused on the ceiling panels and the curtain.

For me it's a casevof pick your poison.

If you have no FK, the day will come that your data corrupts. Tiny application bug, wrong manual data fix, incomplete datamodel communication. It's a case of when, not if. And when it happens, it can fester for weeks or months, corrupting all kinds of data in unfixable ways.

If you have FK, you can go all-in on relational. The stuff is so powerfull, you'd be dumb not to. But then comes the too-smart-optimizer problem. Just like with compilers and opengl shaders, the tiniest change might make you fall off the optimizer's preferred path and get a way-to-slow version. Even when no code has changed, a minor DB version or even a tiny shift in statistics will kill you.

Personally, I tend to consider integrity more important than performance, but both have a zone where they are good enough to make trading off worthwile.

So I do FKs and joins, and count on rigorous testing and monitoring to keep things in check. Someone else might decide otherwise. Both strategies require you to do the unsexy part of the wirk, or a harsh punishment will follow.
> We haven't built a completely self contained, perpetually self reliant colony in some place like [...] the Arctic?

The primary barrier to doing this is politics, not the environment. Colonizing the artic would be a major violation of international treaties, and would certainly see you detained (or killed) by a hostile country. Wars have been started over much less.

People have lived in Death Valley for millennium, not sure why that one would be at all interesting.

> Wouldn't experimenting with things give us a lot of learnings when we have increased issue that would come from being on Mars?

No. We would learn next to nothing. We know we can live in the cold. We know we can live in isolated environments (nuclear submarines replicate this much better than the artic does). We already have research stations in the arctic. We don't get to experience a different amount of gravity, different geology, different atmospheric chemistry, different (primarily a lack of) biosphere, or pretty much any interesting feature of either mars or space. Nor do we get any of the "backup population of humans" we would get from mars if we manage to make it self sufficient (admittedly a very tall goal), because the arctic isn't really isolated from the earth. Nor we do get the inspirational effects of going places we haven't before.
> Humanities specialists argue that these majors open up higher-earning opportunities later in life because they don’t lock students into a narrow programming language, certification or career path. The critical thinking taught in humanities courses allows students to adapt to jobs that may not have existed when they enrolled in college.

I've experienced the exact opposite with that, that often those with humanities specialization are the least able to think critically and most likely to inject personal biases. They often adapt to another job not because they have some edge but more because their unable to pay bills and forcing yourself to learn something is very easy when the alternative is starvation.

Further this points to the ugly truth, a college degree doesn't matter any more than your HS GPA, the important part is you have it. It serves simply as an easy way for employers to filter people out when attempting to determine who to hire. It functionally serves as an easy way to vets large swathes of people.
It has users, but

As an internal user

Is not a real user story :) Neither is:

They might be phrased like one, but user stories are meant to address specific user tasks or journeys, which doesn't work well for generic improvements.

> Those who would work in government but choose not to say there’s too much red tape and the pay isn’t high enough

Whoa there tiger. Maybe some people do, but there’s plenty of people who simple never, ever want to work for politicians. Why on earth would I want to work for those lamentable grifters? Most of them are not solving anything.

Even when it works it fails. Any attempt at long-termism leads to short-term pain that opens up a weakness that the opposing party uses to grab power and undo it.

And why should it work? With an electorate that skews towards retirement age the system is delivering exactly the result one would expect - enriching retirees at the expense of future generations. For my generation: no housing, no healthcare, no pension, no climate. For retirees: no taxes.

It feels like we need a fundamental change to enfranchisement. Perhaps parents should be able to cast votes for their children?

Good to see Govulncheck doing a vulnerable methods analysis for surfacing only the relevant issues. Many app sec vendors do it now for languages like Java and .NET.

>What do they thing is the number one reason most people won't start their own business?

Starting a business is hard and confusing and frustrating in countless ways that a person can simply avoid by taking a salaried position.
Many institutions are handling Covid in the worst possible way. The clinic of the University of Heidelberg (a scientific institution tasked with educating physicians) for instance insists on the 3G rule for admittance (either vaccinated, recovered or tested for COVID). Either COVID is dangerous, then only testing helps, or it is not dangerous, than testing only a subgroup is irrational.

The entire health policy in Germany is in denial of the fact that the vaccination doesn't help against transmission. Refreshers are sold as helping against post- and long-COVID where there is only little scientific evidence for it.

I don't think that it is necessary for anybody to sow mistrust in institutions. Those handle that on their own pretty well.

The Rubikon was crossed with telling that masks don't help - against better knowledge. Only to avoid a run on masks and to reserve them for health workers. After that, I took everything being told with good chunk of salt.
In the RDBMSes I'm aware of, you can disable foreign key checks while still adding the constraints themselves---they won't do anything as far as the DBMS is concerned, but can presumably still be picked up by whatever tool you are using to generate this link information.

No, we don't, and they've already shown we can't.

Intel kept us at 4-core shit-tier processors for a decade, and the moment AMD managed to get a leg-up on Intel, they killed their HEDT platform because it competed with their server platform in PCI Express lanes and turned their back on all the gamers that brought their sorry ass back from the brink of death.

Both of them have been shown to be greedy, opportunistic shitbags of companies that cannot be trusted.
I've been using exchange online for my personal email. I had to do a bit of fenagling with my dns records, which is old hat at this point, to get it to work but it basically costs $4 per month per user and since I'm the only user it gives me the freedom to use my own domain name and not have to worry about selfhosting. Prior to that I was using exim as my SMTP server and dovecot as my imap/pop3. But managing it was a huge hassle. $4 a month is worth the effort of not maintaining it myself.
Ah good, so we can stop shifting timelines every few weeks.

Instead of blog posts, people who are advocating for others to work on "more important work" should be spending their time improving various systems to enable people to work on more important work. Universal healthcare, improved child care accessibility, affordable housing, anything you can think of that is an enabler of talent to do more than survive vs thrive (in some quantified effectiveness to cost sequencing). People are just trying to get by because there is no alternative considering resourcing.

Otherwise, these come off as "your risk appetite and budget is too low try harder." The cost of failure is simply too damn high unless you're young and have zero responsibility and obligations or wealthy family/connections to fall back on [1].

(imho it is condescending on its own; treat the root cause, not the symptom, but that's hard and takes years to accomplish with little payoff to the person pontificating, so it's easier to complain on social/public media instead)

The Wuhan Institute of Virology, which studied RaTG13, is not the same thing as the Wuhan CDC.

Two points about RaTG13:

1. RaTG13 is not the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2. It's not even the closest known relative any more. A closer relative has since been found in the wild, in bats in Laos.

2. RaTG13 doesn't even exist in live form in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. It only exists there as data on a hard drive, obtained by sequencing traces of RNA in a swab taken from a bat in the wild. A replicating form of the virus has never actually obtained. It's much more difficult to isolate a replicating virus than it is to sequence RNA in a sample. In fact, the WIV has only ever isolated three SARS-like viruses, all of which are publicly known and have been heavily publicized by the WIV (because it's a big deal, scientifically, and reflects well on them).
Devzat is a custom SSH server that takes you to a chat
In a way this is a nice example of why 1Password or BitWarden are doing well. This might work out okay for a technical person, but the average user isn't going to look at the KeyPass downloads page [1] and feel confident about what to download -- even assuming they're using Windows, you need a phone app and sync for meaningful password management these days... and that's very worrying in their presentation. Whereas 1Password and similar do just tell you "download this everywhere, it'll do what you need".

Climate changes and dangerous weather events aside, I don't think that things are quite as dire, in regards to breathable air. Well, at least outside of certain metropolitan areas in certain countries.

That said, the fact that we even have the technology to do this is good - if we ever actually needed to utilize it after the collapse of too many ecosystems, at least we'd have the option to try scaling it up, provided that the powers that be would deem it "financially viable".

The trans community stands against doxxing, harassing, swatting, and stalking one of their own because of her gender identity and activist activities. Because they know, in cisnormative society, they'll be next. Of course, Kiwi Farms does not condone that sort of behavior (wink wink, nudge nudge). Once Kiwi Farms is down for good, I'm sure there will be Twitter bickerfests and slapfights about this and other issues (apparently Keffals is racist too?), but as long as Kiwi Farms is around, it is a direct existential threat to trans people and the community will be pretty united in making sure it is not allowed to operate on the public internet.
Thanks for sharing some extra context.

I'm a fan (been using it for 10yrs I think?) and think the HN sentiment around it is not representative (it's the only app I'd actually recommend to people and that I trust my family can use).

The family vault features are really great and I was glad to see the browser dropped (I didn't really get why it existed).

I do miss some native features (like the iOS letter column on the right that made it very fast to find something in the list), but generally get that there are tradeoffs to be made.

Thanks!
I know right, the context of the comment doesnt even make sense with the article. I am guessing the poster read the title and thought COVID was the point of the article?
Counterpoint: the flight of smart people to less regulated, entrepeneurial segments of the economy has drained intelligence and conscientiousness out of the more staid sectors of society, leaving them to the petty, the vicious, the stupid. It’s a good thing that many Harvard grads go into boring careers because those keep the vast majority of the machinery of our world running. If more people said “I’m not going to work on a startup making a moonshot, I’m going to be the best, most effective health insurance executive I can be,” the world would be a better place.

The fact that it’s hard to succeed and less rewarding in incumbent industries tells you where the real challenges are, and where the best of us are most needed. Escaping to startupland is dodging your reponsibility to give back. It’s taking the easy way out.
