If I understand you correctly, you are saying a real programmer would always know exactly what objects are passed to a function, just by reading the code.

This would only be true for very simple code written in a top-down manner. For library code, you dont know how what code will call the library.
Self-hosting Bitwarden (edit: or Vaultwarden) may be a better approach. I'd recommend checking your feature list against Bitwarden to see what you forgot about. There's a lot of usability concerns that quickly become security-critical in a tool like this. Also review the security fixes that have been applied to BW, a rewrite will need to avoid these mistakes as well.
I strongly disagree, mobile and console/PC gaming are not competing. It’s a completely different audience, different games and so on. I’d consider them mostly separate markets. The Switch tried to bridge the gap but really didn’t.

I'm also curious why there's no data for countries like Belgium, Switzerland and Austria.
We could certainly debate that all day. I simply replied because the parent comment made it sound like games were this niche corner of the mobile market. I wanted to assert otherwise.

But to properly reply to your comment: indirectly, yes. I'd go so far to argue that the rise of mobile gaming yet another reason why the Vita couldn't gain traction (releasing in 2013, around the time mobile games started to really show they can do more than arcade-y style minigames), and why Nintendo decided to pivot to a hybrid model. the 3DS's middling sales (for a nintendo console) definitely put some pressure on even the uncontested king of handhelds, so what chance would any other platform have?

Meanwhile Microsoft in this era would flounder with Windows Mobile and fail to gain traction with Windows 8S or whatever they were trying to do with tablets in this time, so I guess their enthusiasm to try that in their gaming division was negative. I'm honestly still baffled Valve beat MS to making the most obvious Xbox handheld, that we now know as the Steam Deck.

So I'd say it was competing the same way handhelds competed with consoles. There would never be apples to apples comparison, but the markets definitely tug on one another, the markets keep eyes on one another, and the audience have some significant overlap, enough to be kept in mind with marketing. Sony and Microsoft wouldn't be marketing cloud gaming on mobile if they thought none of their audience were interested in playing games on their phone.

Greek culture and language survived in a form of the Byzantine Empire (after the fall and the following decline of Rome) where Greek was the state, liturgy and predominantly spoken language.

Even before the Great Schism of 1054, Greek had been the language used to spread Christianity across southern and eastern Europe, i.e. across the Slavs. Even though the bible was always translated into a local language, Greek retained its prominence in the local education, hence the historical dominance (as opposed to Latin which didn't come into light until after the Renaissance and the spread of the scientific thought all over Europe).
Can you not just tell it not to muck with proper nouns?
I’ve taken to using the phrasing “first-party end-to-end encryption is snake oil”, which I feel is also incidentally a slightly more accurate take on the content of the article than the article’s own title, though both are generally true, drawing on different aspects, and both lack a little nuance.

(I first used that specific phrasing a bit over a year ago, judging by HN search.)

A large part of why I call it snake oil is that it’s generally being sold as an inherent and unassailable virtue, when in actual fact it’s nowhere near as perfect as practitioners of it try to convince you (and most of their marketing claims are flat lies, though some do word things more precisely), and you make significant compromises in usability and functionality, which they don’t tell you about. From a convenience perspective, end-to-end encryption is simply dreadful and that’s all there is to it.

I wish we’d ended up with everyone hosting their own stuff instead, with completely decentralised infrastructure, which obviates extra end-to-end encryption (since transport plus storage encryption achieves just as much, and far more conveniently). But we haven’t, and there’s no realistic hope of ever ending up there with how we use tech now—it wouldn’t be particularly practical.
Robyn Finds a New Nest: Joining the Sparckles Open-Source Organization
As an engineer, I would not want to work in a team that works the way you seem to paint as ideal here.

Especially "don't expect engineers to do anything other than what is requested".

Engineers and PMs are "partners in crime", they have to collaborate with their skills complementing one another, bounce ideas around to find the best outcomes. Many good engineers also have a good grasp of product. Having a mindset where it is always PMs "requesting" and engineers "deliver only what is requested" -- in such an environment I would (as an engineer) find a new job.

I don't think the Series S is selling that particularly well. Back when the consoles were in very short supply in 2021-2022, the Series S and the Switch were the only consoles advertised in electronics stores print ads – the PS5 and Xbox Series X would be long sold out before the print ads would even get to circulation.
> I never use my cell phone for anything finance or medical related

Do you realize that 99.99% of the population in the world, including maybe 99% of the people here, don't do that? Similar to those comments that say "I don't use a cell phone", sorry what is your point? You realize that your very unique way of living and your life experience don't apply to others, and your comment is meaningful to just about nobody but you? Do you actually expect people to read your comment from there?

I see what you're saying about Latin usage being a barrier to understanding "legalese". However, in medicine it's absolutely justified, because it allows us to be more specific than using English alone. A lot of the English words for body parts are loanwords from Latin that mean something else because English does not have its own word for it. Cervix, for example, means "neck". English took the Latin word to describe it, as the phrase "cervix uteri" in the 1700s. You could call it the "neck of the uterus" I guess, but uterus came from Latin too. Medical dictionaries can be bought by laypeople and are worth owning, but now people just use WebMD or one of the other SEO-optimized clones.
It does require effort though.
Migrating the passwords is a thing in the process, but there is also finding a good alternative first, that integrates well the softwares one uses, getting used to new UI, new shortcuts, new bugs, etc.

I don't think you quite understand what the word "government" means.

Here's a hint though, albeit at the risk of committing the etymological fallacy: the word "government" comes from the Greek "kubernétés" (κυβερνήτης), meaning "steersman". This is where the "steering the ship" metaphor comes from.

It's literally the job of government to "[steer] the ship of our country".
15+ years ago when I worked at Target's electronic dept over the summer, it was hard enough for parents to track whether the PS2 or PS3 was the latest one much less where a "Wii" or "360" fit into that.

The Xbox line-up is just comical. I walk through any gaming department and see an "S", "X", or sometimes even both "S" and "X" on Xbox games. If it was just "Xbox 7" and "Xbox 8", you'd at least have some idea of what's going on.

It's like someone who knows nothing about cars trying to figure out SE vs LE vs CE vs XLE trimmings when looking at accessories.

This is a why Murex (my shell) has a ‘runtime’ builtin which lets you query which script updates what. Every function, variable etc can be queried to find where they were set and even when (time stamped) too.

PGSQL is great, but often when someone says MSSQL they mean the entire ecosystem. SSRS, SSIS, SSAS fall under the MSSQL umbrella and make it much more than a database. MSSQL really embraces the S of RDBMS.

MSSQL also has great tooling - another part of the ecosystem.

If I was starting today, pgsql would be my choice for licensing costs alone. But, if I already had a system built on MSSQL, it would be hard to make a business case to move (I have tried).

IIRC, Ansible had this exact variable precedence long before they were acquired by RH.

I get that hating RH is in vogue currently, but let's keep it grounded in reality please.

EDIT: And for the record, these Ansible precedence rules are not a bad thing. Once you are somewhat familiar with them, it allows you to write incredibly flexible and extensible playbooks and roles.
Ok. I'll take the advice here. I am a time-constrained Lastpass user. I'm aware of the issues but not thw seriousness. I will abandon the platform now, but I could use your help:

2 - in light of the LP breaches. Do I change all my pw accounts, the master LP account, or both??
Humans love taking the path of least resistance. It's tempting to trust whatever ChatGPT says, especially if you are a young student. Getting burned and learning the hard way is how most students are going to learn this lesson, just like any other lesson in life.

why not use an existing self-hostable option like bitwarden (possibly using one of the easier to setup up servers like vaultwarden)? Then your estimates might actually be accurate.
Good question. I cannot even 100% remember why i left a couple of years ago. IIRC it was a compromised cache / logon on a device i didn't control anymore and the general uneasyness of having my digital identities stored on a foreign service that could be hacked / could lock me out any time.

> Have you done any stupid soloing? Did it happen when you were having a particularly hard time with your mental health?

I have but it's a drop in the bucket (thankfully). I've done a few routes at a time in my life (over a decade ago) where I wasn't ready for them, and they weren't the most appropriate for soloing.

Other areas of my life were not great at the time. I was not suicidal, but it was a very low point for sure. At the time doing those routes gave me absolute control where I had none elsewhere and lifted me from a dark place into a place of pure focus and presence, and although they were not really conscious decisions (they should have been), I think this is the reason I did them. I don't want to encourage this, but it actually helped me, it gave me confidence and relief. In the interim years, I've sometimes checked myself, and pulled myself back when I think I'm about to solo something for the wrong reasons. I don't want to die if I can help it, but I can totally empathise with Austin, I've seen the entrance to the path he went down, I know why he went down it, I don't blame him.

While I wasn't suicidal, I think there is a spectrum of "despair" on which it exists, and anyone in despair might reach for free soloing as a release and way to gain control. And from personal experience I'm saying it doesn't not work, but it's neither a long term or safe solution when you are in that state of mind.
Thanks. I did hear that contests can be way more difficult than LC hard. But I'm struggling with medium anyway.

> I think that is not true. Science does not get its merit from philosophical underpinnings, but from working in practice.

In the day-to-day practice of science i.e. when empirical inquiry 'works', there certainly are underpinning philosophical assumptions, whether or not they are reconsidered or appreciated with every experiment. The implicit in the act of hypothesis testing, some variant of which most scientists in day-to-day practice, are assumptions about the nature of probabilities, inference etc. The NHST framework that is typically used came about after extensive battles over philosophical considerations that apply to significance/hypothesis testing between Neyman and Pearson vs Fisher. The fact that I never write that a hypothesis is (as a research biologist) is 'proven', but some variant that of it having withstood an attempt at falsification, is loaded with Popperian critical rationalism.

> Math is the precise language needed to speak about these methods and the knowledge.

Except math can't map directly onto reality, or data generating processes that are studied, unless you are presupposing some kind of logical positivism (and I doubt you are). We need probabilities, statistics, and frameworks to map all of this uncertainty, and they must be underpinned by some sort of philosophical assumptions that can't be derived from science itself.

> Look at the achievements of science. That is how you get convinced it gives us a grip on reality.

But that in and of itself is a philosophy of science, one of instrumentalism. However, it only extends to whether science can be useful, but not whether it is accurately describing reality or is true.
True. I need to work on my connections.
Good for Microsoft. Bad for developers. And a console is nothing without the games.
The carrier frequency is low enough that any microcontroller board with a price no greater than ten dollars (e.g. any STM32 Nucleo board) can generate it digitally and output it through one of the included digital to analog converters.

Alternatively, you can generate the modulated signal with any desktop or laptop computer using the audio interface.

Every gaming console has that functionality, though depending on the game it's better to exit and restart often. Memory leaks and all that, aside from bugs caused by long runtime.

On a tangent, it’s interesting to me that 2001 was made before the time of fly-bys from Voyagers (by nearly a decade) so the fuzzy images of Jupiter were probably some of the best available at the time. In only the 40+ years since, we’ve had Cassini and Juno bringing even more details than Voyagers, and all of that imagery is so entrenched now that 2001’s fuzzy images look fake
It's empirical evidence, since we exist and are very much capable of selecting the correct statement from a bunch of stochstically likely, but untruthful statements about objective reality.
The value of a HN post lies not so much in the article itself, but in the surrounding discussion. While notable, a discussion about Prigozhin’s rebellion would have likely dissolved into low-value political squabbling.

I do similar with the upstairs/downstairs, except in the living room it’s another PC instead of an Xbox. It does Steam, GoG, etc in addition to Gamepass for a much wider variety of games. It was more expensive than an Xbox sure, but the greater game variety and flexibility is worth it.

My PS5 also hasn’t gotten a ton of usage playing PS5 games, but there are finally some interesting ones brewing now. It’s been nice as a “PS4 Ultimate” with backwards compatibility though.
Numbeo – Cost of Living
I think the problem is that the colors have different meaning. The values in the screenshot for Amsterdam using the NL scale translates to 'insufficient' and while the DE scale translates to 'good' for the same city at the same time.

At the very least, it means that a user cannot use these scales for inference without knowing/understanding the technology behind them. This is probably not the intention behind showing an air quality indicator in the iOS app.
Took me a while to realize that the elite college math books are terrible to learn from, and that having two or three textbooks is useful.

Also, as taught in university, most of the harder problems are done in groups, which is how you really learn math; you spend hours doing all the problem sets and explaining then to your friends. Hard to bring that that model to online

I recently discovered Vaultwarden (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden) and love it. It's basically single Rust binary (self-compiled: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Building-bin...) with a SQLite3 database running on my own server, implementing the Bitwarden server API. I can use all the official Bitwarden apps on my phone and desktop, but have the backend and backups under my own control.
There's a recently released book, "STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World" which focuses on stay silent. I've noticed when I talk less in interactions, I get more out of them. Also, when I do speak, people stop and listen. The downside of the book is I recognize so much more when people are just droning on.
Bitwarden is the gold standard, and it has browser extensions in addition to the cross-platform app.

The PS5 haptics help with immersion a lot for me and the adaptive triggers potentially double the functionality of the triggers in an immersive way.

I also find the the PS5 controller the most comfortable I've ever used. I was strictly an xbox controller guy through xbox 360 and ps4 eras but the ps5 controller won me over.

I have two PS5 controllers, one for the PS5 and one for PC, just so I don't have to bother resyncing every time. If the PS5 controller extra features worked on PC without a cable it would be the perfect controller.

And yea I have gamepass too but who needs an xbox when they have a PC and the PS5 has the console exclusives I like.

Just, to offer another counterpoint.
