Discussion on why SQLite is gaining popularity [audio]
When I bought a new iPhone, and restored it from my old phones backup, my TOTP data from the Google Authenticator apparently didn’t make the trip.

If I didn’t have my GitHub recovery codes, I would have been in trouble.

Arguably, that’s what those are for. But the key point is that I did a mundane, routine transaction. My house didn’t catch fire, my phone wasn’t stolen, I didn’t act negligently. But I was potentially this ][ close to disaster.

Sure it does. How could it be dynamically typed if it didn't have types? How would you even program in a language that doesn't have any types?
OP said "for tech". Tech jobs have long had much better vacation time and other benefits than "regular" jobs in the US. However, with the way things are going, this may not last and I wouldn't count on it. Also, it seems to depend a lot on employer: working at a big place like Apple or Google will of course get you lots of vacation time, but working at some shitty little 30-person company will probably get you the regular 2 weeks, and these days, the good jobs are probably a lot more scarce, forcing more tech employees to work at those shitty companies.
Nice article, but it is wrong about liquidity events at WeWork. The author only discusses a tender offer that fell through at the end of 2019 after the failed IPO and collapse, implying there was nothing ever before.

There was a tender offer in 2017 with the first SoftBank investment, and again in early 2019 (pre IPO attempt, closed in April) associated with the second investment by SoftBank. It is possible there were earlier events, but I had joined in 2015.

That isn't to say things were roses; I know many early employees who, in the lead up to IPO, exercised their options and took enormous loans to pay AMT and were left in a terrible situation.
China state hackers infected 20k Fortinet VPNs, Dutch spy service says
This title is highly editorialized so as to be very misleading. The video doesn't mention Safari at all, it describes new APIs in iOS and in the web standards that allow developers to transition users to passkeys. Notably, these APIs work on iOS for whichever password manager the user has configured, not just the built in one. To the extent Safari is implicated in this at all it's that Safari implements CredentialsContainer.create [0], but that's a web standard that every major browser is implementing.

I'm all for scrutinizing the rollout of passkeys to make sure it doesn't turn into a lock in situation, but editorializing a video title is particularly egregious because, as we see in this comment thread, people are even more likely than usual to read only the title.

It's good that Apple have decided to improve their offering for password management but a bit overdue and lacking in cross-platform support. Also, it's risky to allow large corporations control over our most sensitive information.

I have been working on solving password management as a local-first, cross-platform, open-source application[1]. It's a bit rough around the edges still (no browser extension yet!) but is worth trying as an alternative. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

The app is designed for zero vendor lock-in (after all this is our most sensitive data) and a self-hosted server is part of the design. We aim to make money offering a cloud platform for syncing and social recovery (digital inheritance) and eventually would like to also function as a Dropbox/Keybase alternative.

We will be releasing the open-source SDK[2] soon.

All comments or suggestions welcome.

Quiet quitting and having a side gig?
>From the perspective of the security experts who designed the system, it's a feature and a requirement.

Great, all day I dream of making someone else's job easier by adding hassles to my life.

What's next from the "security experts", booby-trapping front door entrances to deter thieves?

Oh, I have another idea. Let's restrict the number of accounts people can have to, like, two, so that they don't have to struggle with remembering passwords! From the perspective of IT helpdesk, it's a feature and a requirement.
The single data point here is Adam Neuman, so I have a hard time taking this seriously.

I have raised 6 equity rounds as a founder of 2 companies. Never took a dime off the table, was never offered it, never asked for it. We actually did have early employees ask about it, and we encouraged them to not sell.

Why would you, especially at early stage valuations? You're either bad at math, or you know you're about to fail. And who is buying these secondary shares? I don't know a VC or angel who would "de-risk" an early founder like this; it's not aligned with their model. It also complicates QSBS status if I recall correctly.

Well, do you want a car that says "Taxi" or do you actually want to get to your destination?
> I have known zero founders who have turned down an option to take money off the table (and zero A raises that offered that to employees).

Have seen companies offer this to employee's

And companies that let employee's take money off the table at series A are also likely to be generous with meaningless titles; that is they will let early employee's call themselves founders.
They want to push people who would use more than that to a more commercial grade GPU, which costs thousands more for the hardware and have a $450 driver.

There's a big jump in price at the very low end of their enterprise line for a not-very-large difference in performance from their high end gaming/consumer GPU.

So they do stuff like this, and explicitly blacklisting vGPU support (even if you pay the $450 price tag for their enterprise driver, you also need the hardware).

As soon as you start to scale GPU-intensive activities, you either have to overpay cloud services or tack on overhead for enterprise capability as an Nvidia tax.
Founders cashing out early may be more of an "open secret" but it warrants more discussion. I don't find the title overly clickbait-y.

And a counterpoint to your perspective, I joined a startup a couple years out of college, had the most fun of my career, and the options were very much worth something. Working for a well-funded start-up is something I'd especially recommend early in your career when you can take more risk even if the equity doesn't always work out.

If anything, I'd discourage becoming a founder as a new grad more than SV typically discusses. I really appreciated taking time to build up my savings and get experience before taking a shot at that.
Where would one find more?
As long as they don't ban filing for bankruptcy to wipe medical debt, I think it'll be okay. But, if they instead do to medical debt what they did to student debt - that it can never be bankrupted, then yes - this is how the system creates new slaves.
> And worst off, Apple markets security. That's it; you can't go verify their veracity outside the dinky little whitepapers they publish. You can't know for sure if they have privacy violation baked-in to their system because you can't actually verify anything.

Oh, boy, but this is deeply false. Apple literally provides security researchers models of their devices to verify their security claims on their most important cash cow, the iPhone.

This is just an incredibly bold and verifiably false claim.

Wow.
Maybe not, but you can install 1Password later, go to the account with the iCloud passkey and use it once, then use 1Password to generate a new passkey for that account. This flow is also generally better than trying to port keys between accounts, which adds a lot of security concerns.
Netherlands Ministry of Defence Uncovers Coathanger, a Stealthy FortiGate RAT [pdf]
Yeah that line in the article is completely off:

> Ask most venture-backed founders why they get 10x more equity than employee #1

Employee #1 typically gets 1%. Sometimes could be up to 2%, but 1% is standard. So then the founder gets 10%? No way.

I posit that very, very few early non-founding employees in SV startups have a true notion of how cheap they're working compared to the founders. Founders do founder-y stuff, the early engineers build and launch the full product, and if all goes well, the founders fly private the rest of their lives while early engineers make good progress towards a down payment.
You mean the _bug_ Apple fixed? These things are not related.

Hey this is pretty similar to an http server I wrote just a bit ago for a project I'm working on.

server lib: https://github.com/kasrasadeghi/pipeline-js/blob/main/kazhtt...

Used here: https://github.com/kasrasadeghi/pipeline-js/blob/main/simple...

I seem to have some kind of issue with ssl_shutdown, I wrote a packet-level proxy in c++ but I still can't figure out the correct incantation to shutdown on both sides correctly. The Python SSL socket shutdown() function doesn't seem to return anything, so we can't tell if it's finished yet.

I wrote this as an alternative to socketserver.py from the standard library, as I didn't like all of the customization points and indirection.

Also one thing to note is that doing .recv(1024) makes it so that the first line of your http request must be less than 1024 bytes long, which (if you have a lot of query parameters, like I do on some requests) might require you to do some slightly stranger loop shenanigans like I do. It was tricky to figure out, and I don't think it's a completely generalizable solution, but I heavily recommend something like it for anyone dealing with the same problem.
So you're saying it's even better?

> meaning that a language would make it impossible think certain thoughts. This is obviously wrong.

But is it necessarily actually wrong? Shame there's no word for this ubiquitous phenomenon, at least none that hasn't become so loaded it can't be used and taken seriously.

> Have you ever experienced anything for which you didn't have the words to explain? This already proves that you can feel and think things that are not easily expressed in the languages you know.

This is not the same thing - here you already have the thoughts, but lack the corresponding language. It is the inability to go in the other direction that is hypothesized. I'm pretty sure there's a word for this but I can't recall it....isomorphic, or something in that neighborhood?
Just leave the US until the American Dream comes back to life; European companies need more forces and their pay is actually good, because the cost of living is not so high - in most places and countries.

Show HN: I built a tool to make portfolio creation easy
Hey HN!

Portfolo is a simple app for creating resumes and blogs using Markdown. I built it for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the process of building a portfolio or just doesn't have the time to create one from scratch.

With portfolo.app, you can easily set up your portfolio in minutes. Just pick a unique domain, select a theme and template you love, and start showcasing your projects.
> why not just make the grid 1x1 and select a single color?

For two reasons:

1. The initially suggested grid size was 3x3.

2. Filling in a 3x3 grid is sufficient to show that you understood the pattern, but filling in a 1x1 (or even 2x2) grid is insufficient.

Requiring the user fill in a larger grid is a waste of time. The existence of the grid size selector would still make sense in cases where a 2x2 grid would be sufficient to show the solution, so it is not obvious at all that a 6x6 grid should be chosen.

> The grid size is part of the pattern in the same way that the colors are part of the pattern.

To understand a pattern, you have to see at least two valid inputs and corresponding outputs. For the first example, a valid example for the expected output grid size is missing.

I arrived at the "correct" conclusion eventually, but the only indicator was that the reading direction for the UI was absolutely ridiculous ( https://i.imgur.com/CuQ2z2N.png ), suggesting that the authors did not think this through properly, so the solution had to be weird as well.
What were the textbooks used in your master's course?
I must not be looking at the right place then. All the new homes I've seen recently are 2000+ sq. ft. The only ones that are smaller are usually townhomes and are even less affordable than the bigger homes I just mentioned they are located near downtowns or other heavily populated areas.
Antora is one example: https://antoraenergy.com/

In addition to a few hundred mil in funding, they have support from NREL/DoE, eg https://www.nrel.gov/news/features/2024/how-nrel-helps-start... I also was at a conference recently that had some cool feasibility studies done by people at NREL about using TPV for LDTES with Antora product specs used for boundary conditions, but I don’t think that’s published yet.

I’ve also seen FourthPower mentioned a few times but I don’t know much about them or how feasible their tech actually is.

Energy storage is not my area of expertise (but very much adjacent to it).
Another bizarre thing was positioning items right on the edge of the shelf, as if they are about to fall off. Apparently this creates some kind of psychological impulse as well.

Many people might not even notice the items are present if they're far back inside the shelves. I can see how making the items prominently visible and easy to grab would also increase impulse buys.
> I've never heard of anyone buying a house without a lawyer.

They're actually not required in Florida. My parents and my sister didn't get a lawyer when buying their houses. I'm sure that they exist in Florida but I honestly hadn't heard of people getting lawyers for buying a house until I moved to New York.

> The 12,000 people let go from Google always knew that they could end up on the chopping block. All employees understand that. That doesn't mean they cannot be unhappy about it. Logically, there is no reason why they should be unhappy about it. But I fully expect most, if not all, of them were unhappy anyway - understandably so.

Fair enough, though I'd like to point out that it's not quite apples to apples. Yes, most employment in the US is technically at-will, so we all bend over and take it and just pretend that there's not a power imbalance, but I do think that there's a somewhat more implied stability for a typical W2 job (though I think 2022 and 2023 might have killed that delusion for most people). I take W2 jobs specifically because I'm extremely risk-averse, so when I've been laid off it felt a little more...unfair I guess? Like if I wanted the rug pulled from under me I could have started a business.

But your point is reasonable enough. I will admit that I do have some trouble having a ton of sympathy for the richest man in the world having his feelings hurt.

> I don't think this picture that they are unfeeling monsters holds any merit.

I very explicitly said that they felt bad, so I don't really know why you repeated this multiple times because it's not something I ever disagreed with. Whether or not every single human involved with a bad decision feels bad about it, it still happened because, again, an organization is not a person. I don't think most of the people who work at Google (or any large company) are unfeeling monsters. I'm claiming that the bureaucratic collective itself is.

> Unless an individual truly lives off in the woods all by themselves, never seen by another human, there will always be groups.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. There's a difference between "formal organizations have different (and worse) morality than a transaction between two humans" is radically different than saying "I think that the only way people are moral is to live in a unabomber shack".

I feel even a relatively thin layer of bureaucracy can effectively allow a lot of people to launder their guilt through the line of "it's just part of the job".
If you have 200 million "of your own money" to spare, you are no longer just a person for the purposes of this conversation, you're a walking VC fund, and you're not really risking a substantial change to your quality of life going from 250M to 50M net worth. Your living expenses are already generously compensated for by the large salary that you, the VC fund pays you, the person, out of your personal bank account, and they will be paying you those expenses until the end of your natural life. This isn't "risk" in the same sense as somebody who jumps to supplement their $150k salary with $450k of founder liquidity because it dramatically changes the material security of their life.

> Annual movement within the U.S. is stuck at a postwar low rate of 11 percent. This 2016-2017 rate is not statistically different than the 11.2 percent rate of 2015-2016, the lowest mobility rate in any year since this annual series began in 1947-48 (see Figure 1). The decline in annual mobility rates, from over 20 percent during some years in the 1950s and 1960s down to almost half that today, is the result of long term trends, such as the aging of the population (older people move less than younger people) and rises in homeownership (owners move less than renters). Yet the downward mobility trend of the last decade can certainly be tied to the lasting effects of the Great Recession and housing bust which occurred over the 2007-2009 period.
Passkeys are great. Me and my colleague are sharing a GitHub account that we use for managing a GitHub app on our autograder server. Previously we had to share the password. Six months ago we set up one passkey each on the GitHub account and no longer need to think about the password.

(We are only using this GitHub account for this one thing, and we don’t use it for commits etc.)

Back in the '90s I published educational software to help kids learn to read. We specialized in making public domain texts accessible by adding the ability to hear the words by clicking them as needed, with texts ranging from "See Spot Run" level material up to things like The Wizard of Oz. During this time I collected as many books in words of one syllable as I could. Robinson Crusoe was a bit much, but we definitely published Aesop's Fables.
