While you're busy shooting down perfectly good recommendations, perhaps it would be helpful for you to explain your threat model and security considerations. Because the way you're planning to shove your secrets into your password manager is reducing your 2FA to 1FA, after all. Furthermore, your demand for exportable secrets is defeating most of the security of TOTP secrets. High-quality authenticators don't make any provision for exports.

So if you just want some security theater and you just want to tick the box that reads "2FA" and you don't actually want more security than a username and a password, then knock yourself out, and do what you propose, but I'm not going to be here suggesting anything better for you.
A place can still be good for business and still tax personally wealthy people at a high-ish rate. Sane and easy to understand regulations, fast and competent permitting processes, good labor stock, easy capital access for business growth, etc. are all separate from making extremely wealthy people pay 35% effective tax rate instead of only like 10%.

If your net worth starts decreasing when you retire you retired a decade too early. I know "I want to spend just enough in retirement that my last check bounces" is a funny joke and all but you have no idea how long you'll live, and no financial advisor worth the paper their business card is printed on would suggest you spend more than your investments earn in retirement.

4k@60Hz is fine as long as you have FreeSync or G-Sync IMHO. (Assuming you are actually hovering around 60 FPS)

GPU vendors keep pushing new pretty tech that their cards can't quite keep up with and even a 18ms frame time means 30 Hz with no dynamic refresh.
At the company I work, we have a team that took 3 weeks and multiple tries to get an API response (JSON) capitalized properly (camelCase to PascalCase).

When I tried to talk to the tech lead about it, his response is that SAFe would have prevented the issue (it was discovered by another team who consumes their API).

Throughout the entire thing this tech lead maintained his team didn't do anything and that the problem was the process.

yeah, no. I have 25+ years of experience as a developer, it doesn't take 3+ weeks to fix the casing of a JSON property name. I eventually had to be the bad guy and tell them their work was unacceptable because they themselves couldn't recognize it. Only when I did it, I ran it up the chain because if the tech lead doesn't see the problem then I need someone who can help them see the problem.

For some people there's a "responsibility shield" that's so strong you can never get through to them.

It's not a offensive to portray objective reality. People can and often do overreact and fake symptoms. This is just how it is. Why would that offend anyone?

The alternative to this is burying your head in the sand and saying we should take everyone at their word. This would result in a WORSE outcome for people that actually have the issues you're so worried about because the data would be skewed.

Maybe you ought to do the thinking, instead of emotionally reacting?

Season 2 of Millennium ranks up there with my favourite television ever. Season 1 was mostly "Serial killer of the week" episodes, and Season 3 was clearly the studio trying to make TV as they understood it, and ruining everything. Season 2, though, was quirky, dark, passionate, eerie, theological, and funny.

Oh, snap, we've been working on importing Gutenburg to LR:

https://www.languagereactor.com/m/t_en_-

We're ranking them using the download count, and also this prompt to chatGPT (it's primarily for language learners):

"Is this text engaging and interesting for a modern reader, someone not into fine literature? Rate the text excellent, good, ok or poor. I don't want crusty, flowery, contorted language, talking about buttons and mannerisms and the hue of the sky etc."

Then, we're rewriting the ~1000 most popular books using chatGPT to modernise/simplify the text.

Using some markdown as an internal format, drawing from the gutenberg plain text and html formats, this will go to a github repo shortly.

There's translations, and then, need to look at current best TTS voices.
Right, intra-party politics seems to put way too much value in party loyalty--running against an incumbent is a way to get yourself blacklisted by the party, which leads to an unhealthy pattern of unthinking support for declining leaders. It seems like Democrats are making this mistake in 2024 by not running a candidate to replace the obviously declining Joe Biden; it could well lead to a catastrophic re-election of Donald Trump.

From what I've read I get the impression that for a while in the 1960s and 1970s, the terms "process" and "virtual machine" were interchangeable. I don't feel that was a mistake, and today we make an arbitrary excessive distinction between them. They are the same concept, just implemented in a slightly different way.

From both the program's and the programmer's perspective, a process under a Unix-like is a virtual machine. A very nice virtual machine, too. It has approximately infinite memory, can operate in parallel with an arbitrary number of parallel machines, and the kernel API can be thought of as an enriched and very sophisticated instruction set.

It'd be much easier to stomach some level of 'necessary' cost towards ecologically re-structuring our society if people would stop pretending that that means you can simply maintain our current way of living but in a 'green' way.

For example, there is no genuinely ecological way to have our current car-based infrastructure, let alone expand it into other parts of the world, regardless of whether they're EVs or ICE.

We absolutely must wrangle with the fact that we need a society not premised on infinite growth. Anything else is inherently NOT ecological and makes any claims about things like extracting lithium for a 'green transition' nonsense.
I'm not sure if I believe that, at least the "pound per pound" bit.

Extracting oil usually involves drilling a hole and getting a material you can mostly (I think about 80%) turn into useful products, though hydrofracking involves handling a lot of water and oil from some places in Saudi Arabia contains a lot of sulfur that has to be removed.

On the other hand, many minerals are found in concentrations of less than 10%, often much less

https://www.sgs.com/-/media/sgscorp/documents/corporate/broc...

The real advantages of the minerals are: (i) a car consumes about its own weight in fuel every year so in its lifetime it consumes maybe 10x it's weight in fuel, (ii) the use (as opposed to production) of that fuel has environmentally unacceptable effects, (iii) the minerals ultimately will be incorporated in a "circular economy".

Note that the automobile industry is a lot more circular than many (say food packaging) in that your local junkyard sells whatever parts it can (I know a guy who just bought a used Ford truck with doors rusted out who just bought two doors from a junkyard) and will send what is left to get crushed when metal prices are high. If you smack your car up at 110,000 miles likely you will get some body panels from this source.

Battery recycling is not a big industry now but it will be. Mining will still be more important than recycling as long as the world is in transition to electric cars. I was quite amused to find that the techniques planned for battery recycling are very similar to both established and in development techniques for recycling spent nuclear fuel.

Most any metric can be gamed. At large, though, I'd wager that the noise from these scattered through a codebase are minimal to the point.

That said, I do think I agree that tooling is good enough now that you can probably try both counts and see what can be seen. With the idea that these are not precise numbers into complexity, but directional concerns.

My dad bought a Dell and reboots it almost every day because the wifi or USB drivers randomly stop working, on Windows. My own old Dell had a similar issue with the audio driver, it would just randomly stop working and every app trying to play a sound would instantly crash. Luckily in that case a generic Windows driver worked better. So two of three Dell laptops in our family were basically shipped in a broken state.
My Surface Pro soft bricked itself during a normal shutdown.

I had great experiences with Windows in the past, but not anymore.

May I venture that you're probably early in your career?

There's almost always things that can be redesigned to be better and smaller if one has a better understanding of total scope from the beginning, but there's equally as much discovery that the reason things seemed unnecessarily complicated was a lack of understanding of the complexity, and that the new rewrite eventually reintroduces much of it as it's used in production.

Y'know, if tech companies think crawling the entire Internet to train text and image generators is a bad thing then maybe they should stop also trying to train text and image generators on Other People's Content. Alternatively if AI is just that good then anyone should be allowed to scrape and train and the resulting models should be public. If AI companies don't think they should pay for training data then I shouldn't have to pay for their models.

Ugh, once was enough for me. Remembering it is important, reliving it is too much.

This quote from Lincoln is pretty pertinent to some things that have happened since:

Apple knows this information - they should make it available.

Yes, but part of the argument was that you can often cut drastically without cutting features when you take the time to understand the problem properly. Sometimes everyone actually does use genuinely different features, but more often there are different ways of solving the problem that will still be more concise even if you keep everything.

To take a somewhat concrete problem from a past job: We had an agency do a bunch of work on features I didn't have time to work on. Being an agency used to be brought in to add a feature here and a feature there, they worked in a way that allowed for fast individual features, but that slowed us down overall and bloated the code when we had them in to do a bunch of work:

They'd manually write each screen. We had many dozens of models that needed CRUD stuff. They did perfectly fine work, and had we only wanted to expose a handful of classes, I'd let them do that.

When I got the time to review what they were doing and realised how much near-duplication they caused, I instead wrote a piece of code that introspected the database model, layered on annotations from our models including access control and additional type information, and spit out a bunch of JSON the front-end consumed to produce a generic CRUD interface to all of the tables. They first objected that there were too many things that were different between each of the screens. They were right there were many differences, but there were more similarities, and we could easily accommodate allowing them to override that.

They went from building new screens for everything, to picking a generic, automatically generated screen that was sub-optimal, configuring views, and writing new components to view various types in different ways. Each new component often made it trivial to make multiple screens better with minimal effort.

We didn't remove a single feature. They could still override the views whenever necessary with custom code. In fact, we added access to dozens of models that people had to ask someone to run SQL queries to access before, so the overall system is far more feature-ful. But the average amount of code needed per model is a small fraction of what it was before.

This kind of thing is common. People keep writing boilerplate or writing to abstractions that cause them to write far more code than necessary without stopping to think about how to simplify, or perhaps more often without having the power to decide to do something about it.

A lot of the time the simplifications also aren't obvious until you've spent some time being verbose and recognising the patterns that will allow you to be concise without sacrificing functionality.
What the hell are "environmental inequalities"? And isn't the goal to make the environment cleaner, not just to equalize something about it. These guys may as well point out that dramatically reducing the size of the sun would "reduce the inequality between the size of the sun and the moon". Who cares?
That would certainly be the most immediate mitigation strategy. I wonder though would there be enough time? Would it be possible to isolate the transformers so completely such that they would not be affected by an event of this magnitude
Right, and that's a breach of the social contract vis a vis compiler authors and the language users, which is a social problem. The lack of safety here is because the GNU programmers detect the UB and decide to cowboy it.

If you take the time to actually read Annex J of the C language you'll see that most of what is intended by "UB" is just "The language or platform could be buggy or the spec could be weird".
I would prefer reading the OpenAPI spec for an API - which is in a standardized format and has easily searchable/skip-able sections, like schemas, endpoints, etc. An interactive tutorial that you mostly read from beginning to end is not convenient for devs - we want to find things within a few seconds of hitting the docs page.

No, in that for people who are fully healthy, they don't have periods of avoiding exertion due to fatigue, which precedes the push in the push-crash cycle. People with well-balanced health and energy can certainly over-exert themselves, but it's not a common cyclical pattern for them characterized by the push happening when some recovery from fatigue occurs.

Paranoia and a lack of...what?
Fair point, the sentence I invented off the top of my head isn't perfectly grammatically correct but it's close-enough that it shows the ambiguity problem. It's a lot to ask text-to-speech and typesetting programs to figure out contextually which periods are abbreviations and which periods are end-of-sentence, and so having a hard text cue like double-space would help. Then typesetters would have a hard cue of when to replace the space with a thin-space (which is supposed to happen in the case of something like "H. G. Wells").

Rights always have to be balanced against each other, as they often are conflicting. This is true in general, and nothing new here.

The right to own the data about your personal private life exists in Germany, for example, where it is called “informational self-determination”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informational_self-determinati...

“This basic right warrants in this respect the capacity of the individual to determine in principle the disclosure and use of his/her personal data. Limitations to this informational self-determination are allowed only in case of overriding public interest.”
