There is always a potentially critical vulnerability in any centralized password storage. Especially, if it requires a (relatively) simple master password to access. A many factors system like the one of Apple is IMO more secure but also easier to remember because they are all pin/passwords one needs (almost) every day.
I wish there was some way you could have said what city/country you were talking about.
Erase that type like you mean it
People using this scheme for memorable passwords will be sticking to a very narrow set of words. There are several psychological factors that can be exploited here. It's not a good password scheme unless you aim for 7-8 words minimum.
> Snappiness and "outperformance" in the suckless world are usually defined via memory footprint

That's one aspect of it, but I think it's not the driving factor on today's hardware. It's mostly about your computer doing what you want it to do, exactly when you want to do it. If I have to wait for some superfluous animation to load, or deal with several layers of menus to get to what I need, that works against my productivity.

Take dmenu, rofi or sxhkd, for example. I can make them run any command or shell script to do exactly what I want, and it can be triggered in milliseconds via the keyboard. Whereas the typical desktop user would probably place a desktop or taskbar icon, have to navigate with their mouse to launch it, deal with animations, etc. Power users would likely use a keyboard shortcut or their OS' search feature or keyboard launcher, but that assumes that what they want to accomplish is even available in their ecosystem.

This level of customization and adapting your OS to your workflow, rather than the other way around, is just incomparable to pre-built DEs. I'm not sure how you can claim this results in a "reduced rate due to compatibility issues", when efficiency and productivity are the whole point of this setup.

> You pay for that unremarkable performance edge [...] in movie night situations when you're the only person who can control your esoteric computer.

This is where I think there's a disconnect with what you want vs. what these tools offer. While I use some suckless and similar tools on my work machine, I still use KDE and even Windows on other machines when my goal isn't to be productive. My work machine is for my personal use, and I don't expect anyone else to use it. I'm perfectly fine with using other environments for other purposes, just don't expect me to be productive in them.

> There are so many better hobbies to explore out there, incidentally so many hobbies that will put you in circles that are more enjoyable company than the suckless circles. Slowly iterating on your own personal set of keybindings and scripty doodads is the digital equivalent of spending an evening playing single player solitaire, except much less challenging.

I think you're still missing the point of the purpose of these tools, and coming off rather patronizing. This is not some hobby, or about being in "enjoyable company"... Would you say the same thing to someone who chooses to live off-grid? It's much easier to depend on urban power and water infrastructure, than trying to meet your needs independently. People who choose to live this way would tell you it works great for them, and also wouldn't approve of the urban lifestyle. That's not to say that either is objectively right or wrong, but it boils down to personal preference.
Heh, a bug bounty in disguise.
Having come back to sailing/cruising after many years I was surprised at the level of navigational knowledge of the typical boater. In the old days, I had my charts, my hand-held compass, binoculars, dividers, etc. Now people go out with their smartphone and end up hitting the wrong side of a marker. Course, there seems to be less drinking and boating these days so that's a plus.

For those interested there are a lot of free options for charts. One is OpenCPN [0] which provides an interface to charting and all your electronics (e.g. AIS, GPS, radar). There are free raster & vector charts available worldwide (e.g. NOAA) which can be downloaded onto your PC or Raspberry PI.

> 1. More people will slowly come to the realization that electric cars are not as effective as originally thought. As a result, the government may shift their focus to hydrogen-powered vehicles as a new alternative.

I'm 100% thinking the same, but I can't help myself think how this will be a disastrous change in some countries. For instance in Europe, fuel-based cars will be banned in 2030 and governments are actively pushing for electric.
I think it might create a huge shift on the electric vehicle market tho.

XKCD isn't saying that four dictionary words strung together is as strong as a 30-character random password. He's saying they're better than an 8-character password which must include at least one upper case and one lower case letter, one number, one symbol, one loud bird call and one soft squirrel noise.
Programmers ask the AI how to fix itself, when it has a bug.

Hell yeah! I'm game what $$ will you go up to. I want a free down payment; we can get an escrow setup.
This really shows the importance of apples hide my email feature. I’ve been using it where ever possible. However, I think I might go back through my online accounts and make sure I’ve got it setup. Generally, my phone number has been with spam centres for a while now. I’m not changing it, because it’s so much friction to change it. Right now, I hardly ever take calls because of the massive spam influx. I’m not sure getting a new number will fix this because they cycle numbers and you may just get the spam from a different person. Right now my phone is pretty good at blocking most spam I get through the phone. Not sure how it does this..
It hasnt been proven but those who live in Europe see families that get:

-free housing

-free money

-money for children (that they use for themselves)

-various other help (clothes, coal, christmas packages)

This had an unfortunate effect of creating a group of people who never worked and all they did was raise 3-5 children. Despite the parents not working (so having time to take care of their children) those children did not really get any education, often did not even finish high school. And guess what those children often got their own set of children early - who also will never work, live of social benefits and small time theft.

You dont exactly have to be a right winger to notice that the model is not sustainable. Especially as this group of people only demands more and they think that they "deserve" it.
Also if you would try to teach the children that everyone should contribute to society by working, their parents/grandparents/even grand grandparents will protest. Since they lived this "parasite" lives forever and dont know better. How can someone demand that they work? They deserve higher social benefits and they deserve better housing. (While you are supposed to get a mortgage and slave to get a house).
Also at some point the group will become so big that they can vote for politicians that will give them more (at the expense of those who work).

Of course perhaps maybe UBI can work and it will be all rosy, but it is just wishful thinking. Communism was also supposed to work.

Different problem with UBI is that middle class becomes nobodies - you are supposed to shut up because you get your dole. While I bet the rich people will still be rich.
The age of influencers is over, they are not cool anymore.
This reminds me of how some people these days don't publish an email address on their website, but rather a twitter handle, expecting you to send them 'direct messages' them.
Plagiarism is still plagiarism, ie word theft.

Perhaps the automatic plagiarism detection used (if used) didn’t include blogs in its corpus, so it wasn’t flagged.

But still the author should have known that unattributed copying is word theft.

Both undergrads and postgrads are taught this on week 1. Professional/career academics are expected to abide by this as well.

Adults have trouble enough to grasp the concept of a deathly allergy to a common foodstuff, let alone kids. I think that's the reasoning behind this kind of ban. Not "breaking the rules" but causing harm to other kids because they don't understand the dangers.

For instance, the following is a news item about a kid in a London school with a dairy allergy who died because his classmates flicked a bit of cheese at him as a joke:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/may/02/boy-with-all...

A schoolboy with a dairy allergy was left gasping for breath and shouted “I’m going to die” minutes after a fellow pupil flicked cheese at him, an inquest has heard.

Karanbir Singh Cheema, 13, known as Karan, went from “absolutely fine” to unconscious in under 10 minutes after the incident at William Perkin Church of England high school in Greenford, west London, on 28 June 2017.

Karan, described as “so bright he could have been anything he wanted”, died 10 days later at Great Ormond Street hospital.

I think the opposite, I believe the "war" as we know it will quickly end, replaced by a mix of cyberwarfare and terrorism in Ukraine, organised by some organisations linked with Russia?
Single family homes are a terrible development model. I see no reason to encourage or protect it.

We should replace as many SFH as we can with more practical developments.
> Oh for sure. That is why people saying "what about people living in apartments? checkmate, EVs!" annoy me so much - if you live in an apartment you probably don't need a car.

There are a ton of valid reasons for someone living in an apartment to still need a car. And rentals are not a solution. Rental companies are a nightmare and rental cars suck.
Was there something ambiguous about destroying the most prosperous African nation?
> Breakthrough treaty between Taiwan and China.

This is impossible on several levels. Most Chinese citizens are 100% convinced that Taiwan is a breakaway province and the mere idea of its independence is extremely offensive. Even if Xi himself were amenable to the idea of a treaty (which he is not — rather, he sees the “reclamation” of Taiwan as his opportunity to write himself into the history books), his government would not be so foolish as to shoot itself in the head.
Most news programs I’ve seen have a marquee with the latest headlines running across the bottom.

I guess you could attach the probability as weight to the event outcome, instead of taking a uniform mean. Not that without probabilities it’s “impossible”, it’s just a different metric

I think you and the author both misunderstood what we really lost.

I don’t think that what we miss the most is the old 90’s patchwork of gif style. Not that I’m not nostalgic of it, of course I am.

But what I miss is the fact that back in the day, owning a little part of the internet was the normal thing and, contrary to nowadays profiles on social media, this space was really yours. It was as awful as what people’s tastes and minds are but it had, well, personality. And you really owned it. It was awful because you were awful but that was ok because everybody is awful. If it was nice, that was because you took the time to make it nice.

It’s not the style I miss, but the fact that it was the result of a real person’s hobby.
That's the problem with such quality films:
"Internationally, the film grossed $625,282 for a worldwide total of $672,154, against a production budget of $9–20 million."

You'll loose a lot of money, and it might have been Kogonadas last movie.
That's a very charitable interpretation.

Another, which I find more likely when there's lots of money involved, is that there was deception to feed the hype machine which caused profits of millions.
That did stand out to me as a pretty small amount of time to not just let it run normally

Board games sell for nearly as much or more than you paid for them. Resale value is fine. The real problem is weight; board games are heavy enough that reselling for the same price amounts to taking a $20 loss on postage. That's why it's better to buy them 10 at a time than one at a time if you're doing it through the mail.

You can actually test this pretty easily by monitoring GPU usage. When nothing on the screen changes, GPU usage should be pretty much zero, even at the lowest P-state (because the compositor isn't rendering new frames unless something changed). You can move the cursor around and GPU usage will stay at the same level, but do something that actually requires new frames to be rendered, like for example dragging a selection rectangle on the desktop, and you'll see GPU usage go up a bit. (And if you do the same in applications using GPU-accelerated frameworks you'll often see the GPU rev up a few P-states, for example scrolling in the Steam library list is enough to cause a transition for P2 for me, likewise many websites kick it up to P2 when you move the mouse or scroll). Another way to see how the cursor is not using the regular rendering pipeline is to move a window around. You'll invariably see that the window lags behind the cursor by 1-3 frames. Other ways where this becomes noticeable is when the graphics stack breaks down, but the cursor still works.

I was at NAV during their big transformation. The first year I was there, it was this huge billion kroner project. Probably more money was spent on business consultants speccing the project than developers. My company constantly complained about this way of working, that it will only lead to failure. Of course it did with missed deadlines etc, and eventually the huge project was scrapped.

They got a new director of IT, and managed to hire some hard-hitters internally as well. No longer listening to snake oil consultants, they finally started working the way we wanted. Smaller projects, if projects at all. More continuous deliveries. We got ownership all the way to production instead of just sending our code to some server people to deploy 4 times a year. All the code got open sourced etc. And us as consultants actually preferred this. Our company got paid essentially the same, but now we actually delivered value and worked with them instead of an uphill battle "against" them.
I lived in the south and moved to Denver for a period. I had a RWD 4-runner at the time and got stuck in snow. The people I knew in Denver had no idea they even sold non-4wd 4-runners...

“We will see more millennials quit the 9-5 to pursue some kind of passion. My guess is most will try to be an influencer.”

But where do influencers get their money? Endorsements aka advertisements and straight from subscribers. We may already be seeing a contraction of the advertisers from online streaming so this probably has shorter legs than required to impact the 9-5 hegemony.

Otherwise people who left the labor market probably have their finances tied to the stock market and interest rates - whether they realize it or not. The Fed has stated they will raise rates until the labor market moves back towards employers. (They are not a populist group, btw.) They absolutely think raising rates will push people out of retirement regardless of age.

Personally, I think it’s far past time for the labor market to correct towards the supply side than the demand side. Ie workers and worker needs/wants. This did happen after the 1918 Pandemic. But of course that era didn’t have quite the high powered technocratic class pushing things toward the corporates away from market equilibrium. (Economic theory does generally warn against artificial conditions thwarting equilibrium of supply/demand. The hell of rent caps in NYC is an example.)

In short, make jobs more desirable for people to work or see an inefficient outcome until the market does. Let the market do its thing at least, or (better) reinforce workers rights-as the market has already pushed the equilibrium too far towards labor demand and away from supply.

I think this looks like creative solutions around hours/scheduling, workplace conditions, and moving away from toxic environments like hire to fire, “quiet promotions”, or under scheduling people to avoid paying benefits.
Wow, thanks for that info! Now I feel bad for whoever it is I was following who must have lost their precious account and videos.

Racism at a Venture Backed Startup
When I was 21, I started a company with two Harvard business school students. We got into an accelerator. I worked as the technical cofounder for three months until we raised millions of dollars from top venture capitalists. During that time, the CEO had me work 100 hours a week building features for the company. On the first day of work, he called me a crackpot. I’m a black woman. He criticized my appearance and my voice. He went through my emails. He attacked me every day calling me crazy. If I hadn’t done good work for the company, we would have never raised millions. At the end of the three months, he and his partner tricked me into giving my shares away after realizing that he was going to lose control of the board. Has anyone experienced racism as a cofounder of a venture backed company? What did you do?
