It simply isn't true that the only breakage ever in the history of 1Password happened between 7 and 8. As a result, it simply isn't true that you can assume that is the only transition under discussion. You have become hyperfixated on an issue of utter irrelevance to the broader topic.

Bottom line: if your claim is never then you don't get to arbitrarily pick your two comparison points.

Password sync was crippled within 1Password 7 (Google seems to indicate specifically with 1Password 7.8 but I don't personally recall) by way of an automatic iOS app update and removal of the previous version of the desktop browser extension. Subsequently, there were limitations that didn't previously exist on using passwords from Dropbox vaults. If you wanted to continue using that functionality, you were forced to upgrade to a cloud-based vault.
i like it and would love to replace our existing link checker with something better at some point. a killer feature would be the ability to notify specific individuals by email when their content has broken links detected. love the dog favicon, too. our government entity overlords did not bat an eye when budgeting $2000 USD per year for a service like this.
I guess there must be some new topics in the mba handbook because every "hardware" company is now shifting into subscription model.

From cheap WiFi webcam to high-end cars, they finally found out that constant revenue is better for them than one lump sump, especially now that technology has reached a point where you don't need to change your hardware every 3 years.

And for a business, recurrent small fee are easier to manage than large fees that are often limited by amortization.

The "price per page" has long been a efficient business model in the professional copier world.

Worth noting that, like many immediate mode UIs, it seems to not integrate with OS accessibility infrastructure at all. That means any UI built with it will be a black box to anyone who needs accessibility tools like VoiceOver, text magnification, or semantic navigation.

Hopefully that's fixable :/

So it's fine to sexually assault a protester if you don't get why protester may hold such opinion?

> Yes there is a fine line. I'm accepting of that fine line but you want to just eliminate it. It's not that you for for free speech rights, it's just that you want one group to have them and another group to be restricted from having them. You accept that speech is important but you don't grasp why -- because it's meant to accomplish something. Speech is powerful, useful, and even dangerous.

Are you saying „you“ as in me? Or talking about hypothetical „you“? If this is former, I'm for free speech. But those who want to use their „free speech“ to prevent other from speaking are not exercising „free speech“. If people would use such „free speech“ to prevent people from your political side, would you still look at it the same way? Or does different standards apply here, because you believe your ideas are so open and accepting nobody could do that?

If you're tolerant of intolerance than you up with nothing but intolerance and you achieve authoritarianism that way. It's not like there's no historical precedent for this.

So it's authoritarianism one way or another. Nice and accepting political ideas right there...

The Worst Hyperinflations in History: Hungary
This is just the programmer's fallacy. If a human could do something "look out their window" then a machine is allowed to do the same 24/7/365 with perfect memory that can be proven to others completely ignores that the nature of the act has now completely changed.

"I saw them walking down the street yesterday" is not the same as "I saw them walking down the street yesterday at exactly 4:27 PM and returning at 9:19 PM here's exactly what they look like, what they were wearing, what they were holding and since everyone else on my street is also doing this you can get a full recording of their actions the entire time they were outside."
Brother printers are low-cost, no-nonsense, and last forever. I've got one that's 18 years old and has printed tens of thousands of pages. I got a new one a few years ago only to get wifi printing. But the older one continues to work on my desktop PC just fine.
This isn't repeated anywhere often enough!

What is mildly hilarious about their security justification is the only reason the ink cartridges have microcontrollers to do two way communication with the printer, rather than like a barcode or something, is because of HP's attempts to block third party cartridges, so to see HP say "we have it because third party controllers might try do something bad with this" is an interesting piece of circular logic.
Clearly. They've already had that model indirectly with ink cartridges, which is why they DRM so aggressively (or, PRM? I don't know, it's software enforced but it's enforcing on hardware).

I can't phantom why, through. Printing is nowhere near as ubiquitous as it used to be and many private people don't need to upgrade their printer often, so you're just making your new products worse than your competing old products on the used marketplace.

I'd shift the marketing to encourage better, high fidelity printing that requires special ink or guzzles through existing ink even faster. Make money off of the ability to print your own high fidelity photos on glossy paper (that HP also sells). Printing office docs is more or less a solved problem for everyday folk so it's way too late to rent-seek.
Right. But even the automatic translation/conversion from the "real" Python code (or whatever it is) to the toy model of that code would make TLA+ a lot more accessible and useful to millions of developers instead of the couple hundred at most (just a guess, maybe it's more?) that currently make serious use of it.

I understand that TLA+ is not really intended for that and it's currently used more for super important, mission critical applications like flight computer code, but I would love to see that level of care and attention brought to more typical software, which even in relatively "boring" applications can involve a lot of concurrency nowadays.

How is this not stopping the police from asking users for surveillance video? Are you saying this statement is a lie?

I don't think anyone is stupid enough to think that Amazon are somehow physically restraining the police from knocking on people's doors and asking them face to face. It's about requests facilitated by Amazon.

After almost a decade it never got off the ground. And while it might address the core problem (collaborative editing), that still leaves the ecosystem problem: fuse mounts, first/third party adoption in the editor or via extensions/plugins. Arguably that's drawing the rest of the f*** owl.
Brother.

I got a Laser Brother multifunction center recently and whilst it wasn't the absolute cheapest option, it seems you get what you pay for. I could connect it to wifi on first attempt, and everything just worked on first attempt. It's incredible to have printing & scanning that "just works."
That is pretty cool, I didn't know about that. I could see it being useful in some niche circumstances.

Top secret really isn't that uncommon of a security clearance. The timeliness of the information is usually what makes it top secret with compartmentalization a norm for all programs (need to know).

Most common thing I saw that was TS:SCI were future or active deployment orders (as foreknowledge could have disastrous consequences).

The really important stuff is under codeword programs. Even if cleared, if knowledge isn't directly needed, then you don't get regardless of clearance.
Well - also just don't make printers with gaping security vulnerabilities.

Really, this whole supposed security issue is bunk and hokum. I do appreciate their efforts to give the world more reasons not to buy HP Printers.
Consider discarding the CLA if you anticipate third-party contributions. If you need to verify provenance, the Developer Certificate of Origin is a better approach. Otherwise, this (correctly) reads as a project which intends to take advantage of FOSS contributors for a while before pulling the rug and making it non-free again.
BTW... Except for the indications from the die shots, one of the reasons that I don't think that uOPs can be as small as 32 bits is that studying fixed width ISAs and designing MRISC32 have made me appreciate the clever encoding tricks that go into fitting all instructions into 32 bits.

Many of the encoding tricks require compiler heuristics, and you don't want to do that in hardware. E.g. consider the AArch64 encoding of immediate values for bitwise operations.

Also, even if you manage to do efficient instruction encoding in hardware, you will probably end up in a situation where you need to add an advanced decoder after the uOP cache, which does not make much sense.

The main thing that x86 has going for it in this regard is that most instructions use destructive operands, which probably saves a bunch of bits in the uOP encoding space. But still, it would make much more sense to use more than 32 bits per uOP.
I think they were dipping a little deep in the pool for "rare" machines toward the end. I'm literally writing this comment on a trashcan Mac that I paid $400 for less than a year ago.

One interesting fact regarding that price though is that until Apple officially stopped supporting it with new OSX releases, you'd probably have had to have paid at least $1000-1500 for the same machine. It's a solid machine (I got mine with 8 cores and 64GB ram, and it comes standard with dual GPUs).

These machines even have a pretty decent following still. See, for instance, https://blog.greggant.com/posts/2019/05/07/the-definitive-ma...

There's nuance around how hard you should push back on bad requests and where ownership/accountability and decision-making responsibility ultimately lie but providing professional judgement/advise/opinions is definitely in bounds for engineers.

Community Notes is now just opinions.
Common Lisp has bad marketing (even OCaml has Twitch streamers and "influencers" now), and bad support for general editors, both of which make it a non-starter for most curious people who have an afternoon to try something. But behind all that is magnificent activity for those who got over the initial potential energy barrier. Just to give some examples:

1. SBCL, the most popular open source implementation of Lisp, is seeing potentially two new garbage collectors, one of which is merged and open to beta testing. One of them is a parallel collector written by a university student (!!) which blows my mind.

2. SBCL has better and better support for deploying Lisp as a C-compatible shared library, using SBCL-LIBRARIAN. It makes it play nicer with other applications in C and Python, without the baggage of process wrangling and thick RPC (IPC/servers, serialization, ...).

3. Coalton is another exciting development that allows a Haskell type system and "Lisp-1" functional programming in Common Lisp. That means type classes (or traits), something Lisp hasn't really had a proper notion of, and full type inference. Persistent sequences based off of RRB-trees were recently merged [1], and interestingly, they're implemented purely in Coalton [2]. That means Clojure-like seqs.

It's interesting to see users of Lisp generating the above ideas and libraries, not a special in-group of committees, "official" developers, etc.

> Obviously, the inflation was devastating to the mathematically challenged. At the height of the inflation, prices were rising at the rate of 150,000% PER DAY. By then, the government had stopped collecting taxes altogether because even a single day’s delay in collecting taxes wiped out the value of the money the government collected.

That's really a bad day for the government.
Very recently we had a cold-case here in Norway, old murder from the 90s (The murder of Birgitte Tengs), where the most recent suspect was first found guilty, but then acquitted on an appeal.

Back in the 90s police had found DNA on her leggings/pantyhose, which years later matched with him.

But they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the DNA had gotten there through direct physical contact - as his DNA could have gotten there by them simply sharing some surface, like sitting on the same chair at a gas station.
Reputation is always circular. The ones who are supposed to be reputable evaluate whether someone else is reputable as well.

But it's not based on metrics. Those are only used as an initial filter. When it comes to important decisions, the reputable parts of the academia rely on peer review. Shortlisted candidates – if not everyone - are evaluated by people who are expected to understand the research itself. Final evaluations are based on subjective judgment rather than objective metrics. It's not a perfect system, but it works reasonably well as long as most of the reputable experts deserve their reputation.
I've been wondering about this for a long time. Does the same grape grown under different conditions but processed identically produce different wine? Surely that's been studied before.
> In contrast, JavaScript is a core part of the web and is executed within the browser in a sandboxed environment. This means that JavaScript operates with limited access to the system's resources, reducing the risk of system-level security breaches.

Flash (and probably ActiveX) were also executed in a "sandboxed environment", including "limited access to the system's resources". All 3 have (or well, had, in the case of Flash and ActiveX) regular vulnerabilities - including JavaScript. JavaScript is not any better than Flash or ActiveX and I really don't understand why people pretend it is.

BTW, Flash was definitely a core part of the web in its heyday, too.

ETA: Oh, and Java was also executed in a sandbox (and a virtual machine!) and had plenty of vulnerabilities back when applets were a thing.

At least with Flash, ActiveX, and Java you could choose not to install them and most sites would continue working. For JavaScript you have to install (and trust) some third party extension to block it and then no sites work...

I had the pleasure of working with Nathan Sobo when he joined Pivotal Labs ~2008. He had a burning desire to create a transformative text edior/ide back then. He is bright, not only in an intellectual & talent sense, but also in an energetic sense. He is also compassionate & genuine person. I'm very happy & inspired every time I see his endeavors progress.

Knowing Nathan has been one of the major catalysts for me to improve the art of software craftsmanship. Sometimes you meet amazing people in life & I count Nathan as Amazing in many ways.
We'd be much better off as a society if more of our governing systems were voluntary. That's no silver bullet for sure, but it would go pretty damn far.

One of the more ridiculous examples I have come across, unpasteurized milk. In the US, as well as Canada and other western countries I believe, it is illegal to sell raw milk for human consumption. Meaning that if I have a neighbor with a milk cow, I can't buy a gallon of milk from them to drink or cook with. Stores can obviously do what they want, and requiring FDA certification for example would effectively block raw milk from stores. But why can't I choose to ignore FDA guidelines meant for industrial milk production and just buy a damn gallon of milk from a local farm?
Is the backtrace performed by the OS and that's why it still works? And the debug info needs to still be provided, just not an unwinding mechanism?
In my experience this happens very rarely. In most places that I'm aware of, there is a very strong aversion to hiring local candidates for tenured (or tenure track) positions.

For example, in Germany it is extremely rare to become a professor at the. University where you did your phd/postdoc. It's almost always seen a something not quite right.

Now there is still lots of politics involved in the hiring process. Tenured positions are rare and often the other academics on the committee want to candidates which strengthen their own research area (although interestingly if there is a colleague down the corridor or someone at a university half way around the world who can do some technique you require, collaboration is much more likely to happen with the external person)
When my son was young and had to go get his first hair cut I thought of trying to find a Mr. Rogers episode to see if he talks about it. I found a very old episode, so old it was in black and white, and I was surprised to find he sat through the whole thing. Hair cuts can be a big deal for young children, but after watching that episode we've never had an issue with hair cuts. It still works!

The silliest thing about HP's claim that your network might get hacked due to an invalid printing cartridge is that, if that's the case, then the fault is with the printer. And no amount of DRM will change the likelihood that a malicious device inserted into the printer could hack it. And anyway, this could be easily remedied by making the interchangeable part of the ink refill completely mechanical, with no embedded IC or electronics at all.
Thanks for reminding us about this.

Also another reminder, for everybody throwing a lasso around everything and hating on it, you're actually upset with the bureaucracy (which contains law enforcement).

Remember folks, the U.S. gov't is split into four parts:
1. Legislative branch (makes laws for the executive branch to approve, and for the judicial branch to possibly overturn, and creates functions within the bureaucracy)
2. Judicial branch (throws away or reenforces work done by the legislative+executive branch)
3. Executive branch (controls the bureaucracy, great filter for the legislative branch)
4. Bureaucracy network (the informal branch of the gov't of employees rendering services for the citizens, most people end up complaining about: law enforcement, department workers, the postoffice and military)

So yes, tell the bureaucracy to stuff it. Telling one of the other three branches to stuff it probably doesn't fly too well.
I bought a Brother color laser printer. Love it.

It can't print photos well (at least I assume, I haven't tried) but I'm generally not doing that at home anyway. For printng a large amount of simple flyers it's cheaper and faster than an inkjet and perfectly passable. I sometimes print labels and other things that are fine as long as I use laser media.

It has no problem accepting third party toner cartridges I buy on Amazon. Works great over Wi-Fi from pretty much all my devices.

Never buying HP again, even if it weren't for this.
I would claim that this doesn't have the same effect on the poor, in Europe, since there's an alternative: public transportation. In many regions of America, including California, there's often no viable public transportation*. You still need to drive, and if you're poor, you usually have a less-than-efficient car, and you have long commutes because you can't afford to live close to the city.

Again, this is all from experience. Large gas price changes always hurt my family the most. Now that I'm wealthy, I, along with the majority of people at work, have a luxury electric car, partly to avoid the high gas prices. I'm guessing the downvotes are in the "wealthy" category, and giggled, as I did, when they silently passed by gas stations these last few years.

* As an example, where I am now, commute by car is 24 minutes. Commute by public transportation is 3 hours.
>it will always remain a second class citizen until we no longer need to rely on IPv4

At $DAYJOB we are already running some services on IPv6 only to save costs, and if our IPv6 connectivity drops people notice it immediately. Is IPv6 still considered a second class citizen when this is the case?
