Luckily, the internal speaker on the Macs were decent enough so you could do this even if there were no speakers connected.

By designating the voice, you could even have multiple "people" talking to the user. It got annoying quite quickly to be on the receiving end
Preview on a Mac doesn't execute JavaScript in PDFs. To make sure you are not spreading anything to anyone, open the PDF in Preview and print it.
I don't know about anyone else, but "giant list of media to consume in the future" be they games, movies, books, or blog posts is antithetical to me actually eventually enjoying that media. The value of having a list of things that I thought might be interesting but not interesting enough to read immediately is basically zero.
Every HN user starts without the downvote button. It's only after your own comments get upvoted enough times that the downvote button appears for you (and then you start having to be really careful when aiming for the upvote button, and checking every time that, after clicking the arrow, the link next to the timestamp reads "unvote" and not "undown").
I worked for Microsoft during those times doing security for Windows.

In the early 90s employees still occasionally used the Messenger service (the service behind “net send”) for messaging. It was originally intended for alerts like print job completion or server powering down, but it became widely abused.

It could actually be used over the internet if the target machine was addressable, eg had a non-rfc1518 address.

We started getting lots of complaints about abuse in the mid 90s as the web was taking off, and changed our best practice recommendations to disable that service; it was not mission critical.

Most of the low level NetBIOS services were designed naively before people thought much about security; we eventually disabled or removed most of them.
Even the world's least liked personality can still make valid points. The presentation was crappy, but it was indeed an expose on how Social Media in all varieties works to gaslight users of all kinds... Not just journalists.

Shadowbanning has cost a lot of people incalculable amounts of time and progress in work, while platforms were really made to push their own profit and any agenda that supported their profit.

If a huge platform like Facebook or TikTok were to simply admit the truth, it would basically be - Hey, we don't provide you any ability to chose what you'll see, and we don't even want to help you to succeed in promoting your own business, but struggle on that while we show you all of these ads...

It's bleak, and grim, and now that the world has allowed social media to infect almost every segment of the Internet, logging off means staying off the Internet entirely... Years of secret shadowbanning, covert control, info warfare, and psych manipulation on the Internet have possibly corrupted everything of value online already, but we're still only talking about Twitter... It's not just on Twitter, nothing social online is working right anymore.
All online cloud password managers have vulnerabilities of some form or another. As computer people why would you think otherwise? I don't understand any of the assumptions that your data would be safe in the cloud. I had this same point to a past employer that LastPass (or other password in the cloud manager) will always be vulnerable. But it falls on deaf ears. I would never, ever trust my passwords to an online storage provider.

I haven't seen a name mentioned in much of the discussion here.

Who are we talking about from this list, and what else have they done? https://1password.com/company/
Your response is very strange. I have not "defended the integrity of a verification system", nor am I inclined to because I do not support the creation of such verification systems in the first place. And I have no clue what "well" you think I'm poisoning.

My point was not that such verification systems are incorruptible. My point is that such verification systems are pointless because they will inevitably be perceived as corrupt. Whether or not the verification system is actually corrupt makes no difference. Such systems are worthless because people won't trust them. Any system will be accused of being corrupt by "both sides" of any heated debate, and they're not both going to be right. But it doesn't matter of one, the other or neither are correct. What matters is that the system won't work because people won't trust it.
Great technical reasoning, but no mention of the business practices. This is a consistent result we see when companies are acquired by private equity. Like Thoma Bravo did with SolarWinds, and is doing with Proofpoint. Vulture capitalists destroy the companies they target to extract short term value. This is why I warned people against using LastPass for several years. Sad to see I was already vindicated.
For me, one cloud solution, and a local KeepassXC database as a fallback. Works like magic. If the cloud solution (Bitwarden) fails, then I fallback to Keepass.
In Safari at least, bookmarks appear as results in the search bar so the fact that they are unorganized is mostly irrelevant. That said, I only bookmark things that a web search doesn't easily return, which is a small set of things.
Not sure why bookmarks should be separate from your knowledgebase otherwise. Why not use Notion clipper and a database in notion for maximum flexibility?
I just did the migration (to 1password though, sorry the lack of tags is very bad for organization), 6 years old customer.

Key points:
- Refresh the website list from the extension before starting, ideally clear the extension cache first (will sign out)
- export from the extension
- attachments and password history are not exported
- there is a lastpass-cli that will help you export attachments
- there is a hacked together PR from myself that will help you export the password history

The import worked very well in 1password aside from attachments/history.
What I did though was tag all my password with "lp-breach-aug-2022" and then as I go through them and change them, I remove the tag
These people are SREs (source: am one) and there is a reason everyone is trying to hire a team of them.

It’s rare to find much teaching on complex systems in school so the hiring pipeline is fraught with peril and low tier companies understand the buzz but not the job. In my experience SRE is mostly people wander in and realize they’re in the right place, rather than setting out to be good at the required skills like managing complex systems and large scale incident response.
Usually security nuts like to override the clear-text string with zeros or random characters before calling free() on it. This way, if this chunk of data stays in memory (which is most likely the case with libc's free()) it cannot be read by exploiting a buffer overflow.

With garbage collected language, programmers don't know when their variable is "free()ed", since it could be held in multiple thread, and the last thread dying will release the memory for this variable. Since programmers often don't know when the password variable will be "free()ed", it is very unlikely that they scrambled the password before releasing the memory. Thus, leading to the password being kept in some region of the program memory, in clear text, exploitable by a buffer overflow & co. for an indefinite amount of time.
I don’t think this solves one of the huge problems with culture on the internet right now, which is stacks vs queues

with only a few exceptions[1], all social media, including HN, present information to you in a stack, most recent first, mostly with no option to change that. this forces everything to be shallow, surface-level and understandable to beginners, otherwise you don’t attract new viewers or followers

even beyond losing their attention spans, people are being trained out of learning things in depth. of building upon knowledge. it’s sad and it’s probably going to be damaging in years to come

[1] - youtube playlists are the only exception that jumps to mind, but even youtube is driving hard in the other direction, removing “sort by oldest” from channels and heavily pushing shorts
Check out the qmk keyboard firmware configuration if that's your thing :)
Interesting bit:

> “The bigger concern is to establish some form of international agreement to prevent capable individuals or private corporations from responding independently — before a consensus has formed on whether it is safe to respond at all, and what we would want to say as one planet,” he said.”

agree article is mostly clickbait. these guardian writers appear to get paid per article or per paragraph

anyway if first concept topic fascinates you or anyone else reading this, i suggest you read the “three body problem” by liu cixin. you in for real treat ;)
I'll be in the same boat when my subscription is up, not sure exactly when it is (I should really check). My discontent had been growing for a while and it's been getting harder to defend it to friends and family, who I had to BEG to get to use a password manager to start, even though now they all swear by it. I'd like them to change along with me, but am worried about how difficult it would be.
Even if we're charitable to Pixelfed: Google could afford to take the case all the way up to the Supreme Court. Can Pixelfed? They should just rename the filter names. The developer's immature antics make the project look unprepared for large scale adoption that the Fediverse seems to be on the cusp of. Donations to a defense fund will be going to waste.
Probably the complete opposite brain regions as those used during socializing.
The article mentions this 5y study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22966034/) which included a sleep training intervention at 7m, and found "no evidence of differences between intervention and control families for any outcome".

It sounds like the main concern would be starting sleep training too early (sub 6 months), or using it in unusual situations where there are already attachment issues.
So lies will disappear, to be replaced by more … ?
For a raspberry pi, not really, but you can get a cluster of VMs going on it and replace many rPis.
It would be great to have AI suggest tags/categories, ability to snooze and recall at set times, and see when the site was last accessed.

I think bookmarks fail because they are buried away and not front and centre, and they mix the concepts of “notes for future reference” and “regularly visited favourite sites”.
I get it but in this context "authority" means an authority on a particular topic, not like a police officer or something. Appeal to authority becomes a fallacy when you appeal to someone who is not actually an authority on the subject at hand.
It will take some time for homo sapiens to develop a dedicated cyber cortex for sensing and controlling entities in cyber space.
you might have a point, there is a lot of identical suburban sprawl throughout the east coast but is also that older setting

I would need some specific examples to look at for inspiration though, and see whats wrong with them

> However, in Europe you generally won't find large, single family homes in this type of setting. Mainly multi-family and very small by American standards. Especially the UK.

You're right, I want the rich person's classic large Parisian apartment facing the main thoroughfare, with alleys of winding shops and cafe's in the back.
I had an intense reaction to this story.

I knew someone who was born in a Romanian orphanage who was "left to cry it out"... she was forever traumatized in ways just as damaging as one terrible moment, but not discussed since no one ever made a hit lifetime television series about those who abuse via inaction.

There are people who made it through the fall of both the Nazis and the Berlin Wall who should not have access to so much as a houseplant who continue to influence young minds to this day, and it will forever keep me up at night that I can't just turn off my phone and correct that error like I'd like to.
Sometimes a solution is so obvious it's sure to get ignored.
They use bmi so all sorts of outlier body types get punished for no reason.
I had hoped Elon would work on things like this.
Like I said..

No one is going to buy your product idea and branding.

Don't believe me? Go try to sell it. Show me the offer letter.
I am guessing you do the thing of making people sign a NDA to hear your idea?
Animal products are constantly stuck into foods that are not clearly animal-derived. Every vegan is familiar with the experience of having to read the ingredients list on foods to look for random animal products or ask waiters if (for example) their Brussels sprouts are vegan. Many people don't realize that Jello is an animal products. Some "vanilla" flavoring is made from animals. Confectioner's glaze, many food colorings, Starburst candy, etc. And meat is very often covered or marinated in vegetables during preparation, leading to meat the incorporates the flavors of vegetables. The idea that vegetarians invented the concept of making a food look or taste different from its natural form is simply unrealistic.

But more fundamentally, I'm not sure what you're getting at. If "giving foods a different flavor or texture" were a totally new idea that vegetarians came up with, so what? Are you allergic to vegetables, but constantly being tricked into eating vegan food? What is the problem here?
The older versions of 1Password are BYOH, bring your own hosting. I use it because I don’t want a single source of failure. My information is encrypted and stored in another cloud service. It doesn’t matter if that cloud service is breached. It doesn’t matter if 1Password is breached.
I cannot imagine moving weekly or monthly with kids in school. I think that's not going to be fair to the vast, vast majority of kids and their need to develop friendships over a multi-month to multi-year timeframe.
I suppose it's a lot more difficult to wipe memory clean in a garbage collected language.

For example:

password = "my-secret-password";
// do stuff then remove the pass from memory
password = "" or null or delete or unset

We have no guarantee that the first string "my-secret-password" will be collected and removed any time soon whereas in C or C++ we could just memset it before freeing it.

But that feels like a very generous interpretation, I'm sure the author really meant it as a "real programmers don't use GC language"...
Par of what I am getting at is that stress builds up over time but sometimes very quickly. Especially for new parents. And you can not predict how the parents will react mentally to this stress.

When we label things, such as postpartum depression, we can discuss the issue. But I think that sometimes we forget that we have to make changes to stop having the same outcomes. When a new parent ends up killing their child(ren), it is easy for us to say, "Well they had postpartum depression" but what have we gained as a society except a way to blame or assign the tragedy. Demanding the person who is in the midst of postpartum depression to identify that and then seek help is absolutely insane. We as a society need to look at how and what pressure we put on others as well as be able to have open conversation about the stresses in order to prevent deaths.
Toll? That's a wild title
The truth of a statement is what matters, not who uttered it.
Try them all and see what they do. I got into simulating games as a kid based on arguments over what the effect of various table-rules were on games. (Spoiler: The effect of every optional rule in Monopoly is to make the game take 5x as long.)

Maybe you could spend points to pick two letter and keep the best...

Why? Because then 1) you'd know what that rule would do, and 2) maybe it'd be neat! Like, maybe you'd find an easy way to provide more balance between newbs and experts, or minimize the variation in score against a given opponent, or whatever.
>Why is empathy “necessary”

This is a philosophical question that man has sought to answer since the Stone Age. Much smarter people than us have dedicated their lives to the study of ethics and come up with wildly differing ideas, I don’t think you’re going to find an objective answer here.
He certainly did it, every time he said that SpaceX's purpose was literally, not figuratively, to save humanity. He was positioning himself and Tesla in the same sort of way; 'buy my EV to save the planet.'

In any case, I have no hero worship to apologize for. Not with regard to Musk anyway.
Seeing more articles about export/import woes would be great.

When I moved over to KeePass I was able to export and import all of my passwords but the field labels got pretty mixed up, and it was a little bit of a pain to correct. That might be fixed now, but it would be interesting to see people's experiences importing into other services beyond just "here's how you export from LastPass to CSV".

Edit: as other people mentioned, I also didn't get any password history with my export, which isn't a big deal to me but is worth highlighting.
It's very interesting that the prior B&N CEOs just didn't focus on Business 101. I mean, what were they thinking with B&N Restaurant investments? Business 101 says to focus on your Core Competencies and that's basically what the current CEO has done. When you think of a CEO you assume they know what they're doing. It's a fallacy mostly but well done to B&N for getting it right this time.
It's a good book.

I had done a review of it as a blog post under the O'Reilly Bloggers program which existed some years ago. But it and other such book reviews disappeared after a reorg of the site. So only a stub remains:

I think this comment resume well the frustration: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/27247#discussi...

I've received at least 10 different notifications during the past 24 hours from porn spammers on my Github project's issues. Github needs to implement some sort of rate restriction and privilege restriction on new Github user accounts, this can't continue. Also multiple reports on the web:

I'd be willing to bet a lot more would prefer to have only remote than only in person work, on both demographics. And even if not, seniors are just more important to retain anyway.
Because nobody actually needs any of the features either guy has released in the last five years and the signal to noise ratio on the app stores has gotten atrocious. You no longer upgrade for some amazing new feature or app taking advantage of new hardware, you upgrade because your stupid non replaceable battery is no good and it isn't cheap enough to replace it vs buying a new phone.
>When I was in junior high, my friends and I discovered that a Command Prompt command called net send was enabled on our school network

I knew some folks who did that as well. Unfortunately I was not in the set of folks who could get away with such nonsense. You were incredibly privileged, and need to be mindful of that for the rest of your life.
It doesn't. I wasn't addressing "coupling your application schema to your database schema." I was addressing "change how the underlying storage of your data looks but don't want to change the end user API" in the parent comment.

> It seems like you built a layer of indirection to specifically allow the thing you said you didn’t want to do a couple posts up

No, because my layer of indirection is in the database in the form of views and procedures. I could be wrong, but I took "coupling my application schema to my database schema" to be something like "having your HTTP API depend on objects in the database", which it does because of the way that postgREST works. If that's the kind of coupling we're talking about, then that's the kind of coupling I would rather embrace than avoid.
This is going to sound harsh but I think some bad habits like this are gotten rid of when their friend group finds out and makes fun of them for it.
This book gave me mixed feelings as well, spoilers ahead.

On the good side, I think the author is brilliant, the way he created this new race of aliens, how he explains their physiology, faster than what it takes for your brain to process images, their camouflage, how their body is a whole lens, their communication system, their way to accumulate energy, etc... that was amazing and worth reading.

On the bad side, I hated every character in the book, it's maybe expected to not like the protagonist with his "lack of empathy", but who makes a crew of such a bunch of uncooperative people, is like nobody wanted to do their job properly; All their conversations felt hostile, not sure how to put it, but I would expect a sense of wonder, curiosity and cooperation from the people sent to do a first alien contact.

The part that I disliked the most is how the human ship felt so abstract, they are in a ship, but everyone stays in some sort of independent tent, I thought this was my problem maybe I missed some key information about it, but after reading some critics, other people also have this feeling of disorientation.

Overall, it's worth it if you really like the genre, but not a must in my opinion.
Supermicro almost doubled in value in 2022 as tech stocks plunge
Del.icio.us used to be really good. It's a shame they got acquired and shut down. I don't think there is anything that does a good job with bookmarking today.
I studied in Vietnam for two semesters so I have some personal experience (plus some time being a tourist to visit friends).

1. Partially true. If you are not abled bodied then you are trapped at home because nothing is built to accommodate wheelchairs except housing/malls built by VinGroup. There are still cars everywhere and that’s how I commuted everyday. Every space on the streets are filled with cars and without adequate public transportation, the city will drown in traffic as the number of cars goes up (and Hanoi is planning on banning motorbikes by 2030).

2. There’s plenty of parks and things to do everyday. In comparison the US is very lacking of parks and recreational opportunities. I completely disagree with this point.

3. Absolutely true and only 5% of locals see it as a real problem.

4. Not really a problem as most people live in HCMC, Hanoi, and Da Nang where in the first two there’s a mall every 500 meters.

5. The public education system could be better but I know plenty of people who went to public schools and got a better education in the natural sciences than me, an American.

6. Unfortunately true. For complicated cases you need to relocate to Singapore or Thailand.

7. I’m not very informed about pensions, but most old people have their lifestyles funded by their children in this culture so it’s not too important.
People here often talk make statements expanding on the original article and I was curious, but in any case thanks for confirming this is a US-only thing. Makes sense.
Ok. And I think being able to fill up at a gas station in 5 minutes is one of the most critical features a car can have. Most drivers agree.

The point of EVs for the time being is minimizing inconveniences (charging) and maximizing intangible value (virtue signaling, being “the life of the party” with your built in cooler/outlets, having a futurist interior with a bad but polished infotainment panel, etc etc).

Elon is cratering one of those things rn and it does feel like a Howard Hughes moment. Hey maybe there’s something about launching satellites! Who knows!
Social media companies don’t make lootbox games. Aren’t you just picking two unrelated things and calling them “this”?

Also, the most successful gambling games I know all come with several other totally unrelated business lines, eg Fate/Grand Order contains the world’s best and longest ongoing fantasy novel and a series of theatrical movies. The pure gambling stuff is like B-grade apps for retirees.
