Lots of memories, very similar experiences. Fun detail: net send * only broadcasts to machines in the same working group, and since we had classes where each student had their own machine and each class its own group, we could actually use it to broadcast messages to our class, and no one else. We also gave self-chosen names to our machines and used net send as a reasonably practical live chat system during classes.

I also told a friend in another school about the command, and their attempt also ended up sending a message to every machine in a district with over a dozen schools. We knew it would go to the whole school based on the group settings, we were still surprised that it went to other schools as well (still haven't really figured out how that worked). Luckily for them, nothing got disabled, and they kept using net send as a bilateral chat system happily ever after :)
Ha! Perfectly reasonable question. Well, we just about never have sex in our room, but luckily for us our house is large enough with plenty of other venues for intercourse. The hardest thing for both me and my wife is the fact that we can't just roll over and fall asleep afterwards. I do miss those days!
MariaDB 11.0 – new optimizer, new major version series
I also own a Kobo reader, and I'm especially delighted with the unofficial KOReader software. I've installed it aside the official Kobo software which I don't use anymore. http://koreader.rocks

I believe it is suitable for power users that want more control on their reader (gestures, shortcuts, navigation, override text presentation...). I prefer to organize the ebooks in a hierarchy of directories while ignoring completely the categories, and this is the way KOReader works.
oh yeah that was another thing with Rosetta Stone that drove me crazy - their speech recognition software was not good. I eventually started skipping the speech lessons altogether because it simply would not accept my input. Instead I practiced repeating after the example speaker during the other lessons, and speaking my own sentences out loud when I was "composing" them when working from grammar books. But, again, what I really needed was a teacher and a class.

On a different note, for the one language that I did learn and used to be relatively fluent in after 6 years of taking classes in school (Spanish), I can still somewhat converse in via writing, but I can't speak it at all anymore really. They're totally different skills.
The need has been mostly eliminated for many people with the ability to search.
I used Google Passwords for a long time before deciding to move to something not OS dependent. My first pick was LastPass. I used it for maybe one month, but found their browser extension and Android app pretty bad. So I decided to move to BitWarden. I am very glad that I did this, otherwise I would have been changing all my passwords like a maniac.
I don’t need 100k to get started.
C# has SecureString. I assume BitWarden uses this.

If you look at the health of foods on our bodies, there is a difference between cooking/cutting/seasoning plants and what we do with factory processed foods.

Taking things out of context to attack them doesn’t help you or anyone else be healthy.
When I saw some notifications today, I asked myself if somebody wanted to prove to github that a possible not paid bug bounty could be well exploited. I don't believe a spammer thinks that the github is the best way to convert his spam in $$.
For me it's more often quick searches about an idea for something I want to buy/make/research, maybe as part of a larger project.
They want them clean, not touched by humans, in particular in case of carbonaceous meteorites.
Eh, you'd be better off with actual security camera + some OSS software to write it on you NAS .

After you buy rPi, camera, IR light, case, power supply it will cost same or more
IMO, elevators are just as bad as cars (exceptions of course apply)
>Caring about your work isn’t the same as it being your “entire life or cause for existence”.

Nor is all work "things you care about" even if you love your job, unless you own the entity. Even if you had a passion for picking up garbage, you'd rather be doing it your way than the way your boss is doing it.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to spend non-working hours on something that isn't exploiting you...
Because they like being in business vs just giving away their software?

Where is the repo of software that you've paid an unknown number of developers to work on for multiple years over multiple versions that you charge for and run a viable business employing all of the peoples?
These kinds of things make me wonder about body asymmetries - like which side the heart is on, and left/right handedness.
Ohh yeah my bad. You’re correct, and it makes it even worse.
I had an axe lose its head mid swing once. It was a long and terrifying flight. It flew a very long way but luckily missed everything that matters.

This guide would have been very helpful for fixing it.
I feel someday, going to office will become a privilege.
Converting office buildings to residential is something that already really happens, so there’s not actually a question about whether it is possible. My comment was just to summarize why.
This is a real issue, not just with DOS type issues. Low quality, high volume reports tied to some form of reward coupled with lots of automation will lead to this[1]

Got in trouble for something similar in middle school, actually. I would bike over to the high school for my robotics club, and some of the older members had written a privilege escalation script for the Windows machines. So, I brought it on a flash drive to my technology class the next day and ran 'shutdown -i' with admin privs. Being young and stupid, I broadcast a reboot message to all ~700 machines connected on the network, and got a fairly thorough talking-to...
They are in the business of doing business. How much of the codebase that makes up their business model would you like them to expose?
Could you use those learning budget funds to donate to said authors? Saying "I'll never buy e-books again" doesn't really help solve the situation you started out with (wanting to proffer thanks).
I've made the transition to multiple different services over the years, not on a large professional scale so I cannot comment on doing that and I reckon doing that would require completely different advice than I am suggesting below.

I would highly recommend starting new. Every transition between managers has wound up leaving me having to manually delete fields after the fact anyways, or just keep those fields littering the manager. Sometimes even incorrect fields when moving away from LastPass which is even more of a bother. Starting new also gives you a chance to get more used to the new manager's features, and when transitioning you can add specific fields based on crucial information that might have otherwise been lost in automatic moves.

Use this transition as a justification to change your passwords to the services you use, and also a way to decide whether you want to keep using that service or submit a deletion (most you can do this on your own, other times you have to send a GDPR deletion request). I know it takes more effort, but spend a chill weekend doing so, and you'll be glad you did. Plus you can also review some security settings on your services, like force sign out all other devices and changing your 2FA settings.

Think of it as a new year refresh
> The exact decimal of the temperature doesn't matter too much by itself.

Indeed, this pseudo-accuracy seems pointless.

The only relevant conclusions that taking the temperature can deliver is whether, a) there is no fever, b) there is a mild fever not requiring major concern, c) there is a major fever and extra care needs to be taken. No one in their right mind would classify these differences based on sub-degree differences in temperature.
The OP said close to an island tropical heaven, which is why I picked Hawaii.

Compare any objective weather metric between Da Nang and San Diego then. Unless you just like the rain, it’s not even close.

It's coz people want to test stuff before running it on prod ? Why you are perplexed by that ?
I don't think hypotheticals are very useful. A sleep deprived parent is a risk in any scenario. It's a moot point.

The only point I was making is that it is generally agreed upon that a crib is safe for babies to sleep in. They can't fall out, get smothered, etc.

Medicine treats co-sleeping horrifically because, by any measure, it's less safe. Few medical professionals will recommend, generally, anything associated with such risk.

If you choose to co-sleep, I believe you should simply accept the risks. We can't pretend there are none. We can't reasonably ask the medical community to stop being harsh.

Perhaps co-sleeping hasn't had it's "fed is best" moment that we've seen with bottle v breast, but I'm not sure it ever will. It's simply more risky.
But its incorrect, its literally the logical fallacy, argument from authority, if the person us not an authority then it cannot by definition be argument by authority.

Experts must prove their views with evidence and not rely upon their reputation, that is the meaning of the fallacy.

No wonder so many people cant reason well.
Why not whichever Keepass client you prefer, and Syncthing (if it's even necessary for your use-case)? Open-Source, old enough to have a few revisions and be looked at pretty closely, completely off-line, and forgiving if updates are needed to passwords (with many clients having the option of merging changes with your open database).

This way, you don't make the same mistake as Telegram as well; I.E., don't roll your own crypto if you can help it, especially if there are ready-made tools that already do what you want, doubly so when those tools are battle-tested and looked over by actual experts.
As a consumer wanting local control ZigBee is an advantage for off the shelf products. Almost every off the shelf product that uses WiFi does not offer local control (and if it does then it often only offers that in conjunction with cloud control).
Looking at a problem and saying "for the effort I could put in here, the benefit would not be worth it" is prudence, not cowardice.

There are huge numbers of things that are wrong in the world: should I call someone a coward for not working on malaria prevention or pandemic mitigation? For living well while others suffer?
Need to migrate your IDE project to a CI system? How do you do that if you only know how to click through a wizard? Everything has to be spoon fed and if it isn't they are paralyzed.
I like a lot about the manifesto on the front page. Looks very "sublime" and like they're committed to building a high-quality product.
Show HN: Selaro Personal/Workplace knowledge management tool
Hi HN!

I built Selaro to make things easier to find at work. It works as an auto bookmark tool based on URLs to sites that I visit. Often these are pages like confluence pages, github repos etc and bookmarking these individually is a lot of organization and effort.

The permissions needed are wide since it works based on your URLs visited. I haven't found a better workaround for this yet. The tool stores all your data locally and uses no remote database except for Auth/signup (optional).

It's not a full fledged knowledge management, but this is the scoped down MVP. Open to feedback on the product and also path forward for it.
> I hit 7.5k

...how?! Why?!

I'm pretty sure my maximum was ~15 tabs.
What do you mean? Hard to understand what you're describing.
Yes, I don’t really ever use bookmarks.
That sounds rough! From what my wife has let on, third trimester sleep is tough any way you slice it. My kids kick me sometimes, but usually I can just move them over and resume my slumber. It helps that we took two mattresses (a king and a twin) and pushed them together, so there is plenty of room for the four of us.

And to answer your question, my wife is even more gung-ho than I about co-sleeping. She actually had to convince me to start doing it in the first place, because I shared the concern of lot of commenters here with regards to SIDS.
I use archive.org a ton and support them for what they are doing.

I support the Randolph Bourne Institute for their antiwar views.

Before I donate to a new organization, I always check their IRS forms("copies of returns") if they are in the USA at https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/

This form gives a general idea of how funds are distributed.
But how do you determine if someone is an authority? Our world is filled with epistemological bubbles. One person's expert is another's snake oil peddler.
Ah, yes, back where network security was an oxymoron
Java books are still useful if they were considered good while current. Many good programming books remain useful even as the language evolves and the syntax diverges. Dreamweaver 4 can be useful to someone to understand the concepts of design. Browsers will still mostly happily render old code. I'd give them to a library if they are willing to accept them or list them on a site like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace for your locale.

C, C++, Linux, Unix, and Cisco books are eternal. They may not teach you secure ways of doing things, but they are eternal. NetWare may be obsolete. ;)
I thought they disappeared sometimes. I thought it was if you commented in a thread?
It's a nice data point, but it's not necessary to me. Do you have the source code to your mail service provider or your online banking software? [1]

Having the source code available says a few nice things:

1. This company is confident enough to show their work

2. This company is "good" at software engineering (or it could reveal the opposite)

[1] I know some people can and do run their own mail servers. I can respect that, but I trust the Google devs and organization to be properly competent and incentivized to do a good job keeping my email account safe.
IME: Link rot. When your URLs aren’t valid for more than a few weeks, there’s no reason to keep them; it’s easier to search (not that search is always reliable over time either).

Any reinvention would have to incorporate search and keep track of sufficient content from the page to do a search for its new location. Either that or link to 3rd party content storage (i.e. archive.org et.al.)
I've used the Collections[1] feature in Edge for this. It essentially acts as a one level deep folder where you can store links and text notes related to a subject. It also has built-in support for sharing.

Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft, but not in Edge.

Pinboard is every bit as good as Del.icio.us.
was "and-o-rid" unintentional?
I’m not conflating anything. You’re saying the inflammation is beneficial, but what you’re describing is really a “lesser of two evils” situation, e.g. it’s better to have inflammation than it is to bleed out from a wound. But the best thing would be not to get a wound in the first place.
I liked the Windows spin it: "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting."

Because they're right, the closest physical equivalent of software "piracy" isn't stealing, which takes the existing item and deprives someone of it, it's forgery, which creates a new "copy" of the item that certainly doesn't have the right provenance and incidentally might, possibly, differ in functional characteristics as well. It devalues legitimate copies of the item in the same ways that counterfeiting does, not the way that theft does.
Well there’s always Pinboard. I think the problem is there’s not much money in it unless you go the route of a social network or advertising/leadgen site.
This brings back good memories from High School. Here's a bunch of things we used to do:

1. Set fun messages on all the HP Printers: https://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/jetdirecthack

2. Bypass firewall restrictions by setting http:// to https:// (later had to resort to SSH tunneling using Putty). Got me banned from our library for a month when I was on Facebook and a teacher passed by.

3. Our student directory set a cookie to a 6 digit identifier in the cookie. We could access any student's grades and details by just setting it to another ID, or looking at their lunch card.

4. During finals we wouldn't be allowed to see our grades until after all the finals were submitted into our grading portal. Somebody picked up on the fact that if you stop the page load before it finished that the grades would show up. Using JS to block our grades after they loaded didn't stop even the least technical people.

5. Some of our labs had monitoring software to make sure we were working. We could just kill that process and they would lose access.

6. Invert MacOS screen colors using Control + Option + Command + 8. Teachers didn't know how to recover from this and would resort to restoring the entire Mac.

7. CTRL + ALT + Down to flip the Windows screens. Again caused issues for a lot of people who didn't know this shortcut.

What a bunch of troublemakers we were...
for bookmarking articles, you have https://getpocket.com/ and https://www.instapaper.com/

"Social bookmarking" started with deli.co.us and has largely been subsumed by reddit.

Beyond some level of complexity, Evernote, Obsidian, Notion, etc become bookmarking tools

...but the ultimate place to find the bookmark managers are in the Chrome and Firefox extension stores:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/category...

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/bookmark?_category...

There doesn't seem to be any money at all in this space, and any really groundbreaking innovation will be folded in by the browser vendors, so I don't expect there to be much more thwn what's already here.
Probably "essen" (to eat, for a human) and "fressen" (to eat, for other animals).
Not exactly “reinventing” bookmarks. But I’ve been working on a micro SaaS[0] to send interesting articles, newsletters and RSS to Kindle. And it kinda “forces” me to actually read those articles, and not just send them into oblivion.

If you’re developing a reading habit in 2023, give it a try.

Wahey! Only 10 to go!
My brother and his wife did not sleep train their boy and co-slept with him. They had endless issues with sleep that continued past 2y old, were constantly exhausted, and eventually alternated who slept with him. We sleep trained our boy, same age, had very few issues even from very young.

Children are so different, from so early, it's not at all obvious what outcome for a particular kid is because of different strategies taken and what comes from their individual natures, or other aspects of their environment.

Co-sleeping's known to increase the SIDS risk, so it's another reason people are sometimes reluctant to do it, even if it would make the baby more comfortable.
Over the last two years I've gotten into gardening in a serious way. I have about a hundred species of plants growing now, and another three hundred fifty or so waiting for Spring.

Coming from a sciencey computer nerd background I have to say, plants are incredible. For one thing, they are very intelligent and adaptable. They have senses we don't fully understand. Together with fungi and microbes in soil they form LANs that administer large areas of the Earth and adjust environmental conditions to suit themselves. Seriously, look at living things as nanotechnology and you realize we are in (and of) a kind of living fractal cathedral of information and life.

Anyway, before I get too lyrical, my point is that plants produce myriad chemical substances that have effects on your metabolism. We are all familiar (if only by reputation) with the heavy hitters: Coffee, Coca, Cacao, Cannabis, (lotta C's) Tobacco, etc. But there are thousands of species of plants that produce innumerable substances that are essentially medicines: chemicals that have a stereotypical effect on metabolism.

It's entirely reasonable and unsurprising that some plant, such as Boswellia sacra, the sap of which is the source of frankincense, could have such an effect.

A well-stocked garden/forest is a medicine cabinet.

As the author points out, it behooves us to "do science to it", eh?

When FitBit-style wearable medical monitoring devices become commonplace we're going to have a wealth of data to correlate, at least in theory.
> You could own a home but not be guaranteed a seat at your local public school. You had to use "connections" just to make it on the list, or your child would end up half way across the Borough at a different public school.

I suspect this is an attempt to distribute students between schools so you don't end up with one school made up of students all from a rich neighborhood and another with students all from a poorer neighborhood. That's how a lot of the US does things and the poorer families consistently get the short end of the stick.
Security is not a binary thing. It's a spectrum and for most normal end-users having _any_ password manager is better than trying to keep all your passwords in your brain, which leads to password re-use and easy-to-guess passwords, etc. It's only after multiple episodes of what amounts to malicious incompetence that the cure becomes worse than the disease. I think we're collectively agreeing we've reached that point with LastPass.
So you're saying everyone is more productive when WFH individually, but somehow the team as a whole isn't.

Could you please explain how that works?
This brings back memories of sneaking a C compiler onto a classroom computer in high school and writing a program which issued ten thousand net-sends to a bully's computer. IIRC, the next send window popped over every other window and it effectively denial of service attacked his UI. The options where to click thousands of times or restart the computer. Well, it was pretty easy to rerun the program once his was restarted and let's just say he didn't take it well. It was a blessing that net send doesn't show sender information.
And, when you are unable to evaluate the truth of a statement for yourself, the expertise of the person making the statement is a helpful datapoint when deciding how much to trust it.
Great Obsidian plug-in as well
Cities take a huge toll on the environment. in Los Angeles the week we had basically total lockdown we had the best air quality ever here.
And much of that it doesn't know either.

I like Collections, it's a good concept, I'd love to have something that I can use across devices, and share a collection with people, would be kewl to have it integrated with "awesome list" concept from GitHub.
bash is the default interactive shell for users, but dash is the default shell for scripts with a #!/bin/sh shebang (or no shebang, unless they're run from bash), system() calls, etc. This means bashisms will work sometimes, which can be worse than not working at all.

I agree about the importance of differentiating bashisms from basic scripting, but I think the root cause of that is documentation (including this book) that don't make the distinction.
FitBod [0]

Completely changed my approach to the gym. I used to never know what to do when I arrived in the morning. I’d usually do some cardio and then go shower.

FitBod now has me consistently doing hour-long workouts 4 days a week. I’ve used equipment I’ve never touched before and seen fantastic improvements in my fitness and strength.
