>how this token relates to the vault, nor how decrypting the token is a necessary dependency to decrypting the vault.

That is actually a good point i didnt fully understand myself, let me check ...

The only thing i could find quickly is https://keepass.info/help/base/keys.html

I dont know how these factors are combined. Damn. Ill keep digging. Thanks.

> Kerckhoffs's principle

An attacker from the outside needs to know 2 passwords, one for the one time decryption of the token and my master password for the vault every time.

EDIT:

Hashed. If a key file does not match any of the formats above, its content is hashed using a cryptographic hash function in order to build a key (typically a 256-bit key with SHA-256). This allows to use arbitrary files as key files.

From the link above. So my 8kb keyfile gets reduced to sha256 and used as an additional key.
So this is not really a gain. A attacker does not need to guess all the random 8kb blobs, possible, just all sha256 hashes, just.

Any suggestions to overcome this reduction?

EDIT2:

There is no overcoming. When the additional key file is fixed length in the end, size of the token does not matter, its not that future proof is my conclusion.

I have to rethink this approach. Thank you so much.
I appreciate the intent here and don't want to be overly critical, but this appears to be attempting a nicer UI for FreeBSD. Not a bad goal, but I'd like to see a page somewhere that lists not just the grievances with Apple that led to this project, but also how this project improves on a standard Linux config. Or better yet, a Linux config hardened as much as possible without losing compatibility with its software ecosystem or with Wine/Proton.

Replacing Apple with a more privacy-preserving alternative is not really about UI minutia. UI/UX is mostly solved, for 2D displays at least. Gnome, KDE, Elementary OS's Pantheon, and others all offer usable and customizable variations on this tech that get you 90% of the way to Apple's standard. Incremental improvements in 2D UI/UX are reaching a point of diminishing returns, where it's more annoying for users to have to learn new interaction mechanics than to simply stick with the ones they know, even if the new mechanics are slightly better in some way.

Rather, I think the area that really needs focused developer attention, and with bigger and more meaningful payoffs, is in bringing the most secure and hardened base systems up to full compatibility with the broadest possible application ecosystem/s. The best option for that right now appears to be Linux + Wine/Proton, ideally using a hardened Linux base like Qubes or SEL4 or similar and Nix/Guix-like reproducible builds, while integrating the extensive work already put into existing UI/UX/DE's. I think if hackers want to achieve this objective, then that's where they need to start and build a community around.

This is an important point. The low prices of a lot of hobbyist-grade motors and motor controls are driven by their use in consumer electronics. I can buy an entire 4-axis stepper motor controller with drivers for under $100 because they are made by the thousands for laser cutters and 3D printers. OTOH a similar professional controller will set me back at least a few hundred $$, if not a few thousand due to being designed for a harsher environment and for higher reliability.
This is such a stupid take. Guess what, those little expenses DON'T add up. It turns out pretty much no small transactions you avoid to save five bucks here and there can't actually compete with costs of rent going up 80% over the course of five years.

I live so frugally I have an entire years worth of cash in my bank, despite only making $65k (underpaid even for an area that has low SWE pay and a company that openly targets low SWE pay) and spending over $1600 a month in rent and utilities. But I still can't afford a house anywhere within 100 miles. I can't have a hobby that requires any extra space. Rent has gone up by $15000 a year, everywhere.

Why the hell should we get advice from the generation that lived through the easist access to well paying jobs and investments pretty much in history? They literally have no idea what this is like. They lived through a time where you could walk into a place just out of highschool and get a job that you could almost afford a brand new house with. They lived through a time where employers would train you, pay for you to learn new things, and expect to move you up through the ranks so you could be more useful and make more money. They lived through a time where fretting over a hundred dollars difference in a living expense was a common thing. They lived through all this and STILL didn't plan for retirement or save money for emergencies.

So yeah, they have no good advice to offer us, because they genuinely don't even understand how hard it is to spend literally half your income on a roof over your head.

You have several misunderstandings of basic science.

"Calories" are simply a unit of energy. The energy released by the utilization of ATP can be measured in any unit of measure you like for energy. It won't change the fact that the unit can be calories.

This is like arguing about Celsius vs some other unit.

Likewise, the CICO model has been replicated over and over again in high quality studies that don't rely on self-reported intake. And this model and information are used by thousands of people every year to manipulate their bodyweight and composition at will in sports like bodybuilding or ones with weight classes.

Indeed, treating the body as a black box makes this even easier as tracking caloric intake and your bodyweight is sufficient to do this and apps like Macrofactor do all the math for you.

I absolutely agree. I have said that federated social media is a great opportunity to put the genie back in the bottle and localize social media to some degree. The problem is that this is the mindset we’re up against.

Again, the newspaper assuredly did all the homework around building policies around moderating social media decades ago. They just aren’t putting two and two together.
Feels weird to talk about layoffs and promotions in the same announcement, right? It felt weird to me, like it didn’t give the departing / departed enough focus or respect.

It took a long time in the post to get to the meat, “ Eliminating roughly 7% of roles globally…”

Also the comment about the promoted guy being responsible for 75% of revenue seems more like setting that guy up to take a fall if numbers dip.

This is a good point. Unless you are desperate for a job, you can be strategic. You could even list things that are a turn off for you. Companies that bin your CV because of honesty and trying to get a good fit are probably not a good fit.

Well, to get back to my original point, if we're trying to improve the quality and accuracy of model writing, and we want to do that by adding quality and accuracy scores to short token sequences, the power law distribution means we could get coverage on a significant portion of the data set by scoring just the most frequent sequences that aren't linguistic trivia. We could probably get to 50% average coverage fairly cheaply, and while diminishing returns would kick in and make getting to 80 or 90% much more expensive, at that point we could use a model to estimate the remainder, and have a perfectly suitable quality/accuracy scores to condition the model on. The model would output those quality/accuracy scores for the generated token sequence as well, so portions of output that were low quality/of questionable accuracy could be flagged.

Social security payments are inflation-adjusted actually. It's more an issue of solvency. The trust fund backing payments is projected to run dry in the mid-2030's [1]. Solving this either means raising taxes on working-age adults or lowering payouts; the UK is a good example of the former, where working-age incomes have recently fallen below pensioner incomes [2], and no politician wants to be the one to bite the bullet on the latter.

> TOTP in Bitwarden (or 1Password or KeePass) is an upgrade over SMS authentication in terms of both security and convenience.

The article makes a similar point:

>> Among the people I’ve “interrogated” about sufficiently securing their online accounts were few who proudly said they’ve adopted a Password Manager and… they’ve copied their favorite password that they’ve been reusing all over the place into the Password Manager. And now they use the Password Manager’s web browser extension to paste the same password into each login form. Well, the only thing they’ve gained is a false sense of security.

>> However, if they do add a 2nd factor of authentication, even if that’s a TOTP managed by the same Password Manager, they do end up in a much better place. Now, looking back at the attack scenario I described above, their leaked password is not enough to log into other online accounts. Yes, they are still vulnerable to a scenario where their Password Manager account gets popped and the TOTP secrets are revealed. But still, their security posture has improved a lot!

I don't understand the "why" behind the second paragraph. (In contrast, you explain the tech more for the third paragraph.) To do a callback to the first paragraph, this is very unlike email: my email server barely has a working spam filter and explicitly will never actively reject email (or just organizes and tags it differently), and yet I am able to send and receive email from large hosts (or at least could until I lost my ancient IP address due to my colo provider moving to a different state, for which I weep; but that is an entirely unrelated issue, afaik ;P), as who else I email is none of their business.

Interesting how you arrived at a totally different local descriptors solution than me. I used ORB descriptors for the small size, with LSH. Then to improve recall speed, first build a list of candidates using a subset of the features, before checking all the features of the candidates. Dividing the image into quadrants is a good idea, I should have done that.
Whoa, whoa, and whoa.

The technical hurdles they had to overcome - despite targeting lower resolutions, non-color screens - was considerably higher and more impressive because none of the scaffolding was there to support the work, and the system resources were also far, far less. You're significantly discounting that effort. It's also worth reminding you that — even among the engineers who left or felt too much pressure — nearly all of them say the emotional investment was both necessary and worthwhile in retrospect. There are very few ex-Macintosh-team detractors in the world.

>Reduce expenses to live within your means

Which is cool until the point that rents take up 100% of your income and then you're screwed.

Let's imagine a world where almost everyone makes $7 an hour. You would expect pricing in the world to reflect that and housing to fit in that budget.

But now in that world you create a small percentage of people that can print as much money as they want. These people that print as much money also have a terrible problem as they are completely greedy and always want more. You'd expect the first outcome of this situation to be asset inflation. The behavior of the greedy would be to buy up as many 'real' assets with their fake money as quickly as possible. Eventually the behaviors of the people earning $7 simply don't matter. The greedy will extract as much wealth as possible and drive up costs beyond the point of survival until a significant portion of the population is tossing the other half of the population in to guillotines.

It is important to keep income inequality under control if you want a stable society (that's not a police state).
I think that the extent to what you say is true depends on who has hiring power. The farther removed from the actual team hiring decisions are made, the less someones ability to work effectively matters. If you can convince some MBAs you’re a 10X programmer, it may not matter than you’ve left behind a stream of teams that disliked working for you. If all hiring decisions are made by a team lead with no subject master expertise, you end up in a similar situation. It’s ultimately the case that it comes down to convincing the person who will hire you that you’ll act as you described, but in tons of companies the person you’re convincing isn’t actually the person who has the insight necessary to judge what you’ve said.

This used to be standard practice in Rust before NLL (non-lexical lifetimes) were implemented. As a trivial example, here's some code that works on Rust today: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

However, try to compile this with Rust 1.0 (which you can get by running `rustup update 1.0.0` and then using `cargo +1.0.0 run` or `rustc +1.0.0`) and you'll get an error saying that you can't push another element onto the vector due to it already being borrowed by the slice. This is because the borrow checker previously assumed that any borrow would remain in use for the remainder of the scope. The "fix" to this was to manually put in a block to "end" the borrow early. However, a lot of work was done to allow the borrow checker to be more sophisticated, and in Rust 1.31 (near the end of 2018: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/12/06/Rust-1.31-and-rust-201...), the work allowing the compiler to recognize that a borrow was no longer used before the end of a scope and therefore would allow subsequent borrows that it previously would have considered conflicting.

All that being said, there's still a useful feature of blocks in Rust that I don't see mentioned in this blog post: blocks in Rust are actually expressions! By default, the last value in a Rust block will be yielded, but you can also use the `break` keyword earlier (similar to how the return value of a Rust function will be the last value, but you can also explicitly `return` earlier). As an added bonus, this also works for `loop` blocks; since they will only ever terminate if `break` is explicitly invoked (unlike `while` or `for`), whatever value is specified will be yielded from the loop.
