So what will this mean in relation to their recent Alexa announcements? are they using Anthropic in this announcement? Is it so difficult for a big company to build their own?
only somewhat sarcastic. At least once a week Alexa will play an off the wall unrelated song or a crazy cover of the desired song.
>Same reason I listed them as the best music players - I don't want to carry around a laptop to hear tunes. And while some audiphiles claim that they can hear a difference, I have never seen evidence that this is the case.

For playing music when I'm at work, etc., my phone sounds MUCH better than my laptop that's sitting at home.

Also, even if we really did compare apples to apples, I'm not sure how the sound hardware on a laptop is going to be any better than that on a phone.
The potential enshitification from this worries me. What crazy stroke will they feel they have to pull on users to satisfy the VCs need for a quick cash out.
Using Vauldwarden for my team passwords (for personal ones I have Password Store). Zero problems except when I had to migrate to another server and it didn't pick up the database from the Docker volume I restored the first time (although it's equally likely a Docker problem or me doing something wrong).
I’m curious. How do you know it was COVID? I too was diagnosed pre-diabetic post-COVID. No longer the case now. However, I’m not sure how I could ever make the direct attribution to COVID?

Before, I considered a good time a lengthy amount of geeking something out. Wether it was a scientific topic or even just a video game.

Now I have a small entity of continuous entropy generation, who is also a black hole of my time and attention. It's all for the better, but I can't deny that my world and priorities have entirely shifted. And no, son, putting that toy in the trash can is not cleaning up. Even if that looks a lot like what I'm doing daily.
I did the same for years: KeepassXC + Database being synced through Google Drive + keyfile stored only locally on each device (Linux personal laptop, Windows work laptop + Android personal phone) + Safe strong password that was only in my head. The main reason I decided to switch to Bitwarden it's because the Google drive client I used on Linux (GVFS in Gnome) gave me a few good headaches. Basically, everytime I made a modification to the database, it changed the name of the file, therefore, when opening the database later from another device, I had to be listing files by modification date to try to guess the most recent one and open it. Also, sometimes from Linux, I got errors from KeepassXC saying that the database was not writable, so I had to save it in a different location that wasn't the Google drive FS and then move it manually to it. Perhaps not a big deal for some people but after years of this I just got tired of shenanigans on something I consider too critical.

The reasons for me for switching specifically to Bitwarden were:

- Price.

- Open source.

- Multiplatform client.

- Simple and straightforward to import stuff from KeepassXC.

- MFA.

- Possibility of self hosting. (Although I'm using the saas version for now)
This. I always had very bad skin and seemingly random outbreaks of my dermatitis. Also breathing issues (asthma related) would appear in tandem.

I figured it out when peeling some potatoes and my skin started itching horribly. Turned red and all.

I've led a blind friend to London Underground stations, to the gate line, and he's asked "assistance please". Usually that would mean someone would lead him to the correct platform, but when the station staff are "working to rule", they'll refuse to do this as it isn't in their job description. Could they be more heartless?

I was only with him once when this happened, and the station manager appeared and said I could lead him (without a ticket) and he'd let me out when I came back, which he did. My friend said it happened every month or two. Going alone meant he risked tripping on stairs, especially if it was busy and people jostled him.

Only thing missing from Vaultwarden is SSO/Oauth. There’s a PR for it that’s been open for years. I’ve lost hope that it’ll ever land.
I wanted to like Bitwarden, due to its “open source” nature. But 1Password is really miles ahead, and it's a little ironic, as 1Password 8 went through a major refactoring to a Node-enabled UI, which many people disliked, and it's still miles and miles ahead.

I tried teaching my father to use Bitwarden for the sole reason that it seemed to be translated into my native tongue. In his use, Bitwarden turned out to be completely unreliable. As techies, we stop noticing the little glitches, the times when Bitwarden is unable to auto-complete, or to detect a login that needs to be saved. Or the times Bitwarden logs you out of the account, or fails to use your biometrics in the browser because the app is no longer running in the background. Or the management UX of the app that's terrible. For us, these are little annoyances, but for my father it was the difference between usable and unusable.

The individual plan is very cheap, but the family plan is costly. And you can self-host, sure, but it's expensive to self-host.

When talking of self-hosting, people actually mean the alternative built from scratch in Rust (vaultwarden). Well, that project was never audited to my knowledge. Open source or not, it may have security vulnerabilities that could be exploited remotely, and I don't understand how people can trust it.

Bitwarden also took VC investments. Which is fine, I guess they need to grow, but I'm longing for projects that are owned by sustainable businesses that don't need to grow. Why does everything need freaking VC investments? The problem being that startups that took such investments are not trustworthy to be around in another year from now, sorry. Although this is true of 1Password as well.

This method requires a lot of plant knowledge to make it work, and is not suited to the current brute force method of farm machinery which is the main method of farming.

All major mobile operating systems (Android, iOS) and some desktop operating systems (macOS) have the ability to remotely kill a binary through communication with the mothership. Most other desktop computers run antivirus (Windows Defender, McAfee, etc.) which very much allow the same thing.

This feature was built to kill malware and viruses. Not even all malware in case of mobile devices, only the particularly bad malware that a "this app is infected with a virus" popup isn't enough for to get rid of.

It's not exactly a novel technique either. Most game cracks for Windows are part of one malware database or another, which is why every crack comes with instructions to disable your antivirus software for that particular binary. At some point only the actually infected cracks were being flagged, and in some cases the cracks employ malware-like mechanisms to redirect control flow, but many of these programs will be flagged by AV databases simply for being cracks.

Most of the topics where people complain about these types of remote uninstalls are based on pirated games from sketchy sources. It's hard to say if there's actually a virus at play in those situations, but based on the symptoms described ("all APKs I install are marked as viruses") I would think there is some kind of malicious APK modification process going on in a few of these cases.
Yeah I think it's a pretty open secret that a lot of carbon offsetting is just straight up greenwashing. How do you actually account for the CO2 that a tree offsets? Well let's take the most conservative approach, you start with a deficit - you account for the CO2 emissions involved in clearing the land and delivering the tree. You then account for wasteage - not all these trees will surive. Then you account for how much CO2 it soaks up, but until the tree is atleast close to maturity that's basically nothing.

Oh no wait not that - we shove a tree in the ground pat ourselves on the back and assure ourselves it will capture CO2 for the next hundred years so we'll just go ahead and count that all now. What do we do now though? You can't plant more trees on the same land, so let's just sell that off- we can get a good price I know a guy who wants some land I hear he's got a plan for doing some sort of tree planting project.

This happened to me too. Moved to KepassXC with syncthing and I haven't looked back
This sort-of stems from the underlying OTP principles from Erlang. Each application has their own isolated supervision tree, and your system contains a number of applications.

Hence, a library which contains a service is likely to have their own internal supervision tree. Your code can then sort-of latch onto this tree and piggyback on its existence. This is very common in web applications because when a new connection is opened, you spawn a process to handle the connection. If connections are (de-)multiplexed into channels like in HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, you'd just move up one layer and spawn a process per channel.

Likewise, if you have a limited resource such as Postgres connections, they are usually maintained in a pool, and access is queued until a connection from the pool is ready for use. This can circumvent the need for something like pg_bouncer in some use-cases.

AFAIK the vaultwarden is just easier to set up for self-hosting. You can self-host the same server bitwarden use, but it's a lot more effort (unless they have stopped developing this recently).

We're using on the French national access point to transportation data (http://transport.data.gouv.fr/?locale=en, source code at https://github.com/etalab/transport-site) and we're not going to switch to another stack ^_^.

I wish our industry would adopt the custom that to pitch your product you need to compare yourself to the best competitor, or no one will even look at you.

There's only one thing I wanna hear from Bitwarden: What do you do that KeePassXC doesn't, and what are the trade-offs?
"As usual, the dose makes the poison"

Yes, but it seems there is still the credo of "much helps much" applied (together with "toughen up you pussy"). Meaning they spray way more than what is needed. And usually there are lots of regulation when you can spray, like no strong wind etc. to prevent it from going anywhere else. You think the average farmer cares? As far as I know, the regulation authorities do not care either.
It's been a few months since I've used Bitwarden but I can think of a couple things:

- Fewer people to trust. You have to be a little more careful with KeePass clients:

- Templates. Bitwarden's implementation is pretty basic but the KeePass ecosystem is still sorting it out:

I understand the pain of leetcode interviews. They’re terrible. But optimizing your career based on the interview process seems… backwards?

FAANG companies (for example) are very relevant if you want to make a lot of money and live in Silicon Valley without being a successful founder/VC. Apple farmers… not so much. If you live in Tokyo, then FAANG companies might be less relevant.

Either way, doesn’t seem like the interview is where you should draw the line.

> "An inconvenient truth about async Rust is that libraries still need to be written against individual runtimes."

In general Rust has tried hard to improve on the developer experience of C++ by providing more safety in the language and better defaults in the standard library. So it's interesting that both languages have now ended up in a similar same place for async.

(C++20 coroutines finally enable sensible async libraries, but code written against a higher-level library isn't easily portable to another one even though both are using the low-level language coro primitives.)

> "Freely after Stroustup: Inside Rust, there is a smaller, simpler language that is waiting to get out. It is this language that most Rust code should be written in."

Maybe there's a Meta-Stroustrup's Law in effect:

"Every successful language eventually becomes one which contains a smaller, simpler language struggling to get out."

It happened to C++ and Java and JavaScript, now Rust seems to be reaching that point.
Ditto.

Also, postgres partial indexes can be quite helpful in situations where you want to persist and query intermediate job lifecycle state and don't want multiple rows or tables to track one type of job queue

> there is a lot of old software that is still updated and not bloated.

The only things that really need more resources are video capabilities and web technos.

For example there are window managers that were considered bloat 20-25y ago and that are considered lightweight. Icewm takes something like 16MB on a 64bit distro nowadays. It would have been considered bloat back in the days but is very far than what you are using with a default kde plasma or gnome desktop running idle without apps. There are still cli or gui lightweight music players, image viewers, word processors, spreadsheets tools, file managers, etc. Until you start a web browser and as long as you are using a lightweight DE you can run many modern linux distros with only 256MB of ram.

I'm a paying user because 1€/month is the perfect price for what I'd like a password manager to cost. But you're right and the flaws are there.

Before, I used LastPass, and for me, the form field detection was miles ahead. Not a tiny bit, but _a lot_ better.

It might help if you clarified what he meant when he said if you “offend” him. Could you just offer to him that you just pay him any outstanding salary and then cut ties? That seems like always a fair option unless you have some contractual obligation to him. It would suck to find another developer, but that’s always a risk when hiring.

Or is there something else that you’re not mentioning that he’s getting upset at?

First time I hear about them having custom domains, interesting.
It's an Erlang convention. Erlang suffers from having a very rudimentary module system, so a clean separation between the public API and the gen_server API isn't that easy to make. If you have access to a better module system, you should definitely induce a cleaner separation and adapt that as a convention. It helps people in general, but the in particular the less experienced.
